A) An ultrasound cannot provide information about the sex of a baby until 32 weeks into the pregnancy.
B) At this stage, rudimentary structures have yet to be formed, so you cannot yet know anything about the embryo's sex.
C) At this point only an indifferent gonad has developed, so you cannot yet tell from an ultrasound whether the embryo is a girl or a boy.
D) All basic structures are formed and visible at this point, including the sex organs, so you can definitely ask the ultrasound technician to tell you whether you have a girl or a boy.
