  No, it is not possible to change a baby’s biological sex (gender) while it is still in the uterus. The sex of a baby is determined at conception by the chromosomes inherited from the parents, and this cannot be altered during pregnancy.

  Hey!
  No, you can’t naturally change the gender of a baby while it’s still in the uterus.
  
  👶 Here’s why, scientifically:
  A baby’s gender is determined at conception, the moment the sperm (carrying either an X or Y chromosome) meets the egg:
  
  XX = Girl
  
  XY = Boy
  
  Once that happens, the baby’s biological sex is set.
  
  🧬 What about science and technology?
  There are experimental genetic techniques (like gene editing or embryo selection in IVF), but:
  
  They’re ethically controversial 😬
  
  Not done on pregnancies that are already ongoing
  
  And not allowed in many countries, including Kenya
  
  ✅ So in short:
  You can’t change a baby’s gender in the womb. It’s something set by nature right from the start!
