Baby gender prediction can take place: from WEEK 9 of Pregnancy

Testing the urine of the mother to be could be a way of determining the gender of your unborn baby. The testing needs to be performed in a laboratory. This non-invasive test is carried out by an accredited laboratory and makes claims of a gender prediction with more than 99% accuracy and what’s more, it can be carried out as early as week 9. The test is said to work by collecting fetal DNA fragments, which have been filtered out through the mother’s body and flushed out within her urine.

The urine sample is collected from the comfort of your own home and saved in the collection container sent to you with full instructions after purchase. Then all you need to do is mail the sample to the lab. It then takes between 7-10 days to perform the test and return the result to you. Hopefully you will then have a gender prediction with more than 99% accuracy.

One negative with this test is the price, so you will really have to consider how keen are you to know the gender of your baby. If their claims are true, it does however offer one of the earliest opportunities to know the gender of your baby.
