You can't test the mother's blood to determine the sex of the fetus, and blood testing wouldn't terribly effective in determining sex even if you're testing the blood of the fetus because most red cells, which make up the majority of cells in blood, have no nuclei. Amniocentesis is, however, extremely effective for this purpose.

Can the gender of a fetus be determined at 5 weeks?

No. There are some kits sold online that claim to reliably determine the gender of a baby after five weeks of pregnancy. These are a scam. Currently in the US expecting parents usually learn the sex of their baby by identifying the genitals on an ultrasound image. More reliable but risky tests are chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis. A new study has found that a simple, non-invasive blood test can reliably determine the gender at seven weeks, the earliest of any known method. Although it would be nice to know earlier, the sex cannot be determined at five weeks, and for the moment the blood test at seven weeks is only allowed in Europe. In the US we have to wait.
