Boy Or Girl!?

Hello! Ok, so I am 14 weeks pregnant, and
not quiet sure when I will find out the
sex of the baby. I have an appt. at 16
weeks, but my OBGYN told me I won't find
out that day, even though my friend found
out the sex at 15 weeks! What's going on?
Can anyone let me know when is the "right"
time to check the sex?

We could hardly tell with me at 17 weeks.
I didn't find out i was having a girl
until 20 weeks. The "Ideal" time is 20
weeks and above.

I will be out of town when I am going to
be near 20 weeks (for XMAS.) That means I
would need to wait till January!

Well they can do it any time from about 16
weeks on, but you can't always tell at
that time. I know a few girls that went in
at 16 weeks, and couldn't tell, and didn't
get another US. Just depends on your
doctor, and insurance i think. I could be
wrong though.

I found out at 22 weeks because my dr.
doesn't do ultrasounds in his office. it
all depends if you dr. does them on the
spot or if they are done at the hospital.

I was told you can usually get an IDEA of
what the baby is around 16 weeks, but
don't count on it to decorate the nursery.
They can usually confirm it around 20
weeks.

It can be detected with little assurance
as early as 12 weeks. No guarantees like
Katie says.

weeks!

How is that possible??? Would she just
refuse to uncross her legs during the
ultrasounds??

My cousin is going on 30 weeks now, and
has never been able to see what she is
having. Not all babies like to show off
what they got

Another Question

I am a bit confused! Left and right I am
hearing everyone saying that if you have a
craving, dont deprive yourself, just
indulge. Then I keep reading that you
should stay away from all these foods,
that I just so happen to crave (ex: ice
cream, sweets, chips, etc.) Can anyone
give some advice?

Food is not my friend these days, but when
i did crave stuff i would eat it. I didn't
crave stuff very often, and if it was
something like junk food i would try and
just limit myself to small portions. I
hated sweets at the begining. In the
middle i loved them, and now i hate them
again lol.

i found out at 16 weeks.
If you go in have something sugary and
dont pee so the baby is active. it will
increase your chances.
There are some big no no foods (like fish
high in mercury)
but eat what you want in moderation. Its
okay to have ice cream, just dont eat a
gallon. The biggest concern is you get
all your nutrients

I found out I was having a boy at 15 weeks
1 day. It was very obvious. The u/s tech
put the picture up on the screen and said
what do you guys think it is, my husband
and I both blurted out "a boy"!!! It was
then confirmed at 18 weeks but I don't
think a confirmation was necessary seeing
as how it was obvious the first time.
However I guess boys are easier to spot
than girls.
