Brief Answer: It is an offence to ask & answer such question. Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for writing to XXXXXXX Firstly,congratulations to you for expecting a baby. Sorry,you can't find gender of the baby in USG scan report.No radiologist give those pictures in USG report.Normally they don't see sex of the baby during scan.It is unethical and an offence to ask and answer such a question.Both doctor and asking person can be penalized under court of law.It is an offence under Indian law.so,please restrain yourself from asking such questions. Gender determination under law is done for selected reasons only. We can only pray for a healthy baby. Hope i have answered your query. Further queries are most welcome. Take Care Dr.Indu XXXXXXX
