What the sex of your baby is? I'm
getting an ultrasound at 16 weeks and my
doctor said that he may be able to tell
the sex, i'm just wondering if this is a
longshot? When did ya'll find out?

Ifound out at 20 weeks because the u/s I
had before that was at 13weeks. I almost
didn't find out at 20w cause he had his
legs crossed but the tech left for a few
minutes and I wiggled my tummy around and
when she came back she saw he was a lil
man right away!

said is that she was a girl.

I went at 19 wks to find out but he had
his legs crossed... I finally found out
that it was a boy..And 20wks..But you can
find out sooner.. Just depends on how the
baby is sitting.. Good luck!!!

I had an u/s at 11 weeks and they said
they suspected it was a boy....I couldn't
believe they told me that early...But they
wanted me to have my routine 22wk appt.
To be sure...Sure enough...It was a boy :)

Wow, I think that was a lucky guess
because there's no way you could tell that
early!! :)

would be highlt likely they would be wrong
but..... Im so anxious.... It's killing

16 weeks kinda is a long shot I found out
at 18 weeks and I was lucky!
Plus the earlier you go like the more
chance you'll have that your little one
wont cooperate
and if you find out that early and are
told your having a girl you run a high
chance in actually having a boy

I found this article...
From
http://www.Parentsplace.Com/
expert/midwife/qas/0,10338,239702_115332,0
0.Html:
"even though studies are now reporting 100
percent accuracy in determining
fetal gender between 11 to 16 weeks of
gestation, in the average clinic
situation, fetal gender identification is
often not undertaken until at least
16 weeks, and is often not reliable until
20 to 24 weeks -- and this is when
the baby cooperates fully!
In a study by whitlow, published in
ultrasound in obstetrics & gynecology,
a sample of 524 women underwent a detailed
assessment of fetal anatomy at 11 to 14
weeks of gestation by means of
transabdominal sonography and transvaginal
songraphy (26 percent). Fetal gender was
identified and was confirmed at birth.
The overall success of correctly assigning
fetal gender increased with gestational
age. At 11 weeks predictions were correct
46 percent of the time, at 12 weeks 75
percent, at 13 weeks 79 percent and at 14
weeks a 90 percent success rate was
reached."
koala labs claim to determine fetal sex
reliably as early as the tenth week of
gestation.

You cant tell at 11-15 if you do either
you have a high chance of being told the
wrong thing or you have a miracle baby
flashing their pelvis agianst the screen
when at that young tender age the are all
bawled up and under developed

The doctor was 80% sure at 20 wks it was a
boy and I had another u/s at 26 wks and it
went up to 100%! Good luck!
