Look for terms such as “male fetus,” “female fetus,” “boy,” or “girl” on the report
Check the “sex,” “gender,” or “fetal sex” field if it is included
Review the ultrasound findings for phrases like “male genitalia seen” or “female genitalia seen”
If the report says “genitalia not visualized,” the gender cannot be determined from that scan
If the report uses abbreviations or medical terms you do not understand, ask the radiologist or obstetrician to interpret it
In many places, scan reports may not mention fetal sex unless it is medically relevant or legally permitted
The most reliable way to confirm is to ask your healthcare provider directly
