Week 13 of your pregnancy marks the end of the first trimester of your pregnancy. A baby at this stage is usually large as a lemon; 2 inches long and weighs about 0.80 ounces. The growth in size can cause you to develop stretch marks and have skin irritations however, on the upside you should be able to tell the gender of your baby via an ultrasound.
With an ultrasound both sexes can be identified but you can tell it’s a boy faster than a girl because the penis usually sticks out . However, if you’re looking for an alternate method for a gender reveal the Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is usually an available option but it comes with price tag and it’s more intrusive.
