How reliable gender prediction is during pregnancy depends on the method used and your baby's position.
At 4 months of pregnancy (around 16–18 weeks), ultrasound gender identification is usually quite reliable because the external genitals have become distinct by this point. But 100% certainty isn't possible. Rarely, there can be mistakes — especially if the baby has legs crossed tightly or if the umbilical cord appears between the legs in a misleading way.
In short: what they tell you at 4 months is probably right, but there's always a very small chance of error. For absolute certainty, waiting for birth is the safest bet.
