Nope.
But it's always cool to take it to a vet because a vet might be able to tell you.

Is it wrong to call an unborn baby 'it' before you know the sex? What else do you call these things?

I wouldn't call it "wrong", at all. Afterall, what do people expect you to do? I understand where you're coming from on this, though. I don't feel it to be "wrong", but I try to avoid the whole scenario by saying something along the lines of, "Awww, look at 'em!". Followed by a question of their gender. "'Em" just sounds better than "it", in my opinion. :) But I don't see how anyone could possibly fault you by saying "It".

It's not "wrong", no. You don't know what gender the animal is, so you can't call it anything else.

no its not really wrong...
