One of the most anticipated moments in pregnancy is learning the sex of your baby.
The theory suggests that:
The ultrasound poses no risk to the mother or baby.

However, the accuracy of the Ramzi theory is not proven.
Fetal sex organs begin developing around nine weeks' gestation.
It takes about a week to get the results.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is another option to reliably tell the sex of a baby.
Pregnant people normally have an anatomy ultrasound at 20 weeks' gestation.
While neither test is a foolproof way to detect gender, they are highly reliable and well-regarded among gynecologists.
Summary
The Ramzi theory is not a proven method of determining the sex of your baby.
