Loyal reader Urbanrose wonders why Beyonce’s sister Solange is going around saying Beyoncé and Jay Z already know the sex of their baby. Isn’t the fetus only 4 or 5 weeks old?
Urbanrose is correct; the sex of a baby is impossible to detect, even at 6 weeks, because all developing embryos look the same until about the 20th week of gestation. Doctors can take an educated guess at the sex of a fetus on sonogram at 13 weeks, but the baby must be flat on its back with the legs extended. Who has time to wait around for the baby to get into the right position to see its genitals? Besides that, what if the doctor guesses wrong?
Solange needs to go sit it down somewhere. I blame Tina Knowles for not giving her girls enough attention when they were young.

Hi, Ms. Sandra
I read on another blog that Solange had stated that Jay and B knew the sex of their unborn child, but you having a nursing background (correct me if Im wrong) don’t you suppose to be about 20 weeks before that is determined??? Now if this is true it means that Bey would have had to be pregos back in April, so please help me to understand why she and her nephew were frolicking on a rollercoaster on Father’s day this year, like I said correct me if I am wrong but something in the milk isnt clean, because usually there is a verbal or written sign on those type of rides about being pregnant. And B doest strike me as the type to not know her body.
Just wondering,
Urbanrose
