Not legal to ascertain gender of fetus prenatallu

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
There is no method to assess the gender of the baby other than ultrasound.
However, in XXXXXXX it is not legal to confirm the gender of the baby on ultrasound.
Itching and dryness of skin is common in pregnancy.
You should avoid soap, apply coconut oil or moisturizer to avoid skin drying and itching.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
