How accurate is the blood test for gender?

Question

Found out we are having a little boy 😍😍😁😁😁 we are over the moon, this is what we wanted...we have a daughter already! Lately I've been hearing things that the blood test isn't 100% ?! I go for my anatomy next week  and I'm worried baby boy Moore will actually be baby girl Moore.......Obviously we will be happy either way but I am just curious what's been everyone's experience ? I had my blood drawn at 13 weeks  idk of that matters or not.....thanks for the input! I appreciate it 😊

Answer

The blood test looks at the baby's DNA, and it's chromosomes specifically. Girls only have XX, and boys are XY. If they picked up a "Y" chromosome in your blood test, you're certainly having a boy, as there's no "Y" in your body otherwise. The room for error is much larger when you get a girl result. (If they missed the Y chromosome, and you got a girl result for instance.) With that being said, I too got a boy result from the blood test and at my anatomy scan we could see that he is very much a boy 🤗 Congrats on your baby boy!

Answer

I'd say it's pretty accurate. Like DNA testing, 99.9999% 😆

Answer

If they found a Y chromosome in your blood, you're having a boy.
