Hi!!
It is not possible to do prenatal sex determination( knowing the sex of the baby whether boy or girl before birth) which is an offence in India.
Any ways,you are due to deliver any time,so let is be a big surprise as to whether you are giving birth to a boy or girl.
Though the act has been made mainly to prevent female feticide( killing of the female fetus in the womb),gender of the baby cannot be told to any patient before the birth of the baby.
