<s>[INST] Hi, Dr. my wife is pregnant and I would like to ask u some questions: 1- In which month Dr. can inform me about the gender of my baby through ultrasound as soon as possible? 2- Since my wife is weak and under weight ( 4fit 10inch and 27 kg) so is it neccesary that my baby will also be weak? [/INST] Hello, I have gone through your query and here are your answers: 1. If you live in India, at no point of time during the pregnancy should a doctor let you know the gender of the baby as this is prohibited and punishable. 2. If your wife is healthy for her height, she will be able to carry a healthy baby without any issues. The short stature may be passed on to the baby and this is a fact to be kept in mind while assessing the fetal well-being and fetal parameters. If she is ill-nourished, improvement in the general condition with proper medication, diet, rest and nutritional supplements is mandatory. Hope you find this information useful. Take care. </s>
