Sex of the Baby
Posted: 07-13-07 13:50pm

I have been reading many books, online information and they all have different times in which you can tell what your ging to have. Anyone know the correct month, weeks? that the gender can be determined?

Just to be safe I would say 20 weeks.

I had mine at 18 weeks and I was very nervous that it wasn't correct. I really couldn't see what the tech and my husband thought that they saw. However, I had to go to a specialist at 22 weeks where they did an u/s. There was no mistaking then that I was having a boy. The tech could've been better the second time but it just seemed like I got better shots.

My vote is for 20 weeks as well. I think that doing it any earlier than that is just risking doing an ultrasound without finding out the sex. I know you can find out a little bit earlier it's just more visible around this time. GL! How far along are you?

I'm going in on the 30th, and that puts me at 19 weeks. Because they don't do ultrasounds during the time my regular 20 week visit is. We have the sturgis rally that week, and they are so busy with bike accidents that they said i could come in a week early, or later. I choose early Smile

Around 20 weeks to be more certain of the sex. I have heard not to get it done at 15-16 weeks as the error rate is quite a bit higher.

I had my u/s scheduled next week for 19 weeks, but I got a call yesterday that the tech was going on vacation, and I had to reschedule for July 30, when I'll be close to 21 weeks. It sucks having to wait longer, but hopefully, the baby should be more developed by then.
