2nd Trimester

how far along were you when you found out gender?

I am 15 weeks and I am considering having an elective ultrasound at a private place that does ultrasounds for 3D pictures, DVDs etc. Mostly I am just dying to know the sex of the baby. I am just wondering if 16 or 17 weeks along is far enough along to accurately  tell the gender? Obviously they can never be 100 percent but say like 80 to 90percent accuracy?

  • The elective place in my city recommends you wait until 18 weeks. I found out at my anatomy scan at just over 19 weeks.

  • I was 18 weeks with DD, 19 weeks with DS, and I'll more than likely get an idea with the twins next friday (almost 16 weeks) and at another scan at 17 weeks.

  • My a/s scan was scheduled for the day I turned 20 weeks. 
  • My coworker got the 3d imaging around the 18 week mark and was very unhappy with DVD as there baby wasn't developed enough to have very distinctive features in the video. After seeing it I agreed with her and she complained and had it redone at 25 week ma
  • Ill be finding out at my morphology scan at 20wks and 2days, the tech booked it for then so it is more accurate.

  • I had a guess at 13 weeks at my NT scan, confirmed on my Verifi test that it was a boy at 14 week and then again confirmed at my A/S at 16 weeks.

    It's your money, but I personally wouldn't go before 18w.

    Someone on my BMB just found out at 28w that she's having a boy after being told at 20w that it was a girl. It can happen to anyone, but ultrasounds are generally pretty accurate by 1

  • I go in every three weeks, due to being high risk. I was able to find out at 16w2d  and it was confirmed at my a/s at 19w2d. The tech was very sure at 16 weeks, though.

  • 19w2d when I found out. If you want to go ahead and spend the money for the elective US that is totally up to you. I was given a pamphlet at my last dr visit for a 3D/4D US and decided against it. To me I would rather save the $200 it would cost to buy so

    I know we were anxious to know with our first, but waiting until the a/s wasn't too much of a big deal for us.

  • I had an "early gender determination" scan at an elective place, I was 16 weeks then. They said they were so certain they were right, they would refund the $$ with the birth certificate! So we went and she said boy and at the 20 week a/s it was confirmed,

  •  I was 15 weeks, but got such an inexperienced tech that I think she really just took a guess and got lucky, but we confirmed my little peanut is still a boy yesterday at 21w2.

  • I went to an elective place at 16w1d and found out. He said he was highly positive she was a girl but to save receipts. I would make sure the place you go to will give you a free look if they are wrong or can't get a good look. I've had 3 u/s since t

  • I was like 15 weeks and 3 days. It was the regular anatomy scan. The tech who did my US had been doing it for like 20 years so she could tell right away it was a girl with 99% accuracy.

  • Found out the sex at 12 weeks due to the maternit21 test.  If we had to wait for the a/s it would probably be closer to 21 weeks based on how my appointments have been timed.
