2nd Trimester

Ultrasound this morning

I am 12 weeks 3 days and the u/s tech said she thinks I'm having a girl.  (I have to see a specialist due to maternal age.) Anyone find out this early and have it change?  I am excited either way, (and DH and I went in to this thinking we would have another girl!), but wondering if anyone has been told something different from an early u/s and an anatomy scan?

Re: Ultrasound this morning

  • My doc said that some people DO want to know as soon as possible, but that it's not really until the 20th week that the U/S techs can tell with any sort of certainty.

  • Seems a bit early to be sure. I wouldn't go buying things or having any reveals.

  • I was told girl at my NT scan, but then he turned out to be a boy!  I agree, it's a 50/50 chance at that point.

    I would not trust anything earlier than 16 weeks.

  • As others said, its way too early. All babies look the same at that stage so you have to wait. 16 weeks is the absolute earliest to get an accurate view. I wouldn't go painting the walls pink just yet!

    Thanks to all for the comments.  I was trying to convince DH that we don't need to share this news with everyone yet, but he disagrees.  I'll be happy to show him that it's definitely too early!

  • I found out at 18 weeks that I'm having a girl!  I hope they got it right!  I've already started her wardrobe!   :P
  • I had one at 12 weeks and she was pretty confident it was a girl but it was a boy at the 20 week very clear! we were surprised!
