You usually find out around the..i think the 17-18th weeks or over. Ultrasounds are not a 100% sure thing though.

Please don't type all in caps. It is considered yelling and is rude to do on forums. You cannot find out the sex at 12 weeks. Like Krystine said, sex determination via ultrasound can happen usually after 18 weeks. It has been known to happen sooner - but not at 12 weeks.

ya its possible, but most times they say we cant see anything, the legs are crossed, or you cant tell for sure. Which is why they say its clearer and more visable around 17-18weeks and up

It is possible at 12/13 weeks but not likely. Mom has to be super skinny, and baby has to have legs wide open. You can only pick out boys if it happens to be hanging out there but it's mostly impossible to call girls because a package maybe just hiding.

As far as i knew it's impossible because i always thought that external reproductive organs become noticable from 15 weeks

the reprocuctive organs are developed at that time, but not very common to be noticed on ultrasound scan. Its usually more clear farther along. And she was asking if they can be seen at 12 weeks.

My OB always waiting until I was 20 weeks. It's kind of a two fold thing. It's easier to detect, and it's also considered "out of the woods". Some OBs are sensitive about letting the mother get too prepared too soon, since they see miscarriages all the time.
