finding out the sex of multiples

amberej

For those of you that wanted to know the sex of your babies, when did you find out? Was it at the typical 20 week appointment?

Yup, I had an elective at 18 weeks to find out, then my dr told me at 19 weeks (I'm in Canada so things are a bit different here). But you don't find out any sooner than you might with a singleton.

Found out at 16 weeks at the MFM appointment. I asked for several weeks after that for confirmation! Mine are boys.

I went for an elective u/s at 16w2d and found out then.  It was confirmed at my 20 week u/s. 

TripMomma

We found out at 15 weeks.

Yes, we found out at 21w at our anatomy scan

My MFM did an early anatomy scan at 16 weeks so we found out then.

This mama was impatient, I had an elective at 16 weeks. We were able to very clearly note the sexes and it was confirmed at 20 weeks.

We found out at our anatomy scan at 20w2d. Both babies cooperated and DH actually called baby B before the ultrasound tech.

Thanks ladies!

We found out at our 16-week appointment (we have ultrasound appt's every 2 weeks). Ours are ID, so only one needed to cooperate, but they both ended up showing the goods (boys).

Found out at 19w anatomy scan. It was very obvious both were boys (di/di)

I was with a MFM, so I was getting u/s every 2 weeks, but we found out at 16 weeks.

My doctor does a u/s at every one of my appointments, we found out at 16 weeks and had it confirmed at 20.

I found out at my 16 week u/s at my MFM.  I was actually 15w5d.  I also had them confirm for the next couple of weeks at my weekly cervical length and amniotic fluid checks.

I found out at my anatomy scan at 20w2d. I didn't have an u/s between my NT scan and the anatomy scan, and we weren't going to pay for an elective one, so the anatomy scan was our earliest chance to find out. Both babies were kind enough to cooperate.

15w 4d. We have had an ultrasound at least every two weeks with MFM since they are identical. I was warned it might be too soon to tell but they were clearly showing their goods.

Thanks ladies:)

We also have ultrasounds every 2 weeks, alternating between my OB and my perinatologist, so I am thinking we will probably find out at our 16 week appointment with the peri, since that will also be our anatomy scan.

I was having growth scans with my MFM every 2 weeks, and they were able to identify the sexes at 16 weeks. Legs wide open and unmistakeably boys.

CNYBride05

11 weeks - we did IVF with PGD and got the full PGD report with gender.

I found out one was a boy at 13 weeks after my maternity 21 test.

With all the sonograms I was told 90% boy/girl around 16 weeks, but it was confirmed again at 18 then at A/S at 21 weeks.

Mrs.Guz

Found out at 15 weeks at the MFM.

Ylvelill

I found out the first one at 16w and the second at 22w baby a was shy!

lynnyrd80

I have a sonogram every four weeks with the MFM.  I found out at 17 weeks which also happened to be my anatomy scan.

Soooo, when I was visiting Fam for Christmas, I was only 12-13 weeks. But they really wanted to see the babies, since I wouldn't see my parents again until they were born. So, I lied to the tech at a u/s clinic and told her 14-15 weeks. Great lie, right? The minute she started the u/s, she was like, no. But then she started looking and I told her no big deal- I know it's too early. She said "angle of the dangle" looked like two girls. I didn't trust until 20 weeks, but turns out that tech needs a raise. 2 girls! She's good!

megs2011

Found out at 20 weeks at my a/s and I confirmed every u/s after that that they were still both girls. I definitely have 2 beautiful girls.
