The second scan is done at around 18-20 weeks and can usually determine the sex of your baby - if you want to know. However, it 's worth remembering that it 's not possible to be 100% certain, and if your baby is lying in an awkward position it may be even more difficult to tell.
Some hospitals now have a policy of not telling patients the sex of their baby. If your hospital doesn 't routinely inform parents of the baby 's sex, you may be able to pay privately for a scan to find out. Speak to your sonographer (the person carrying out the scan) or midwife to find out more.
