what week # did you find out your kiddos gender?

starlettedir

and did it change?

We found out this week at 17 weeks and I made the doc give me a percentage on what the kiddo is

He gave me a 95% sure rating.  He said I could go out and buy stuff but to hold the receipt just in case.

We have our next apt in two weeks(3 from the last one) and I'm hoping will get a 100%

We aren't telling people till then because I don't want to tell eveyone one thing and then find out it's the other.

Am I being silly on waiting?

We found out at wk 20 and it did not change. We didn't get a percentage at the time but the Tech and the Doctor both said girl.

Congrats on having a girl! Just speculating since I would think if he saw little boy parts they wouldn't mysteriously go away in 3 weeks. However, if he didn't see anything, there might be a chance he just missed it? lol

18.5 weeks and 18 weeks - boy on both, and they were very sure.  I'm guessing along with pp - congrats on your girl!

We found out at 20 weeks and didn't have any other ultrsounds after that. There is a greater mistake in identifying gender for girls, so we were confident.

Yay! You're having a girl ;-) ;-)  Assuming of course, considering that boys are usually 100% once the parts are found in the U/S. They knew Joe was a boy at 13 weeks bc his boy parts showed....usually there is always a very very slight possibility that a girl is a boy and that his "parts" are just hiding.

21 weeks with G and 25 weeks with J.  They tried three times and didn't show the goods until the third try.

We found out at 12 weeks via a bloodtest during our NT scan that was free - the ultrasound tech at the time that was doing our NT scan said she couldn't be 100% sure but it looked like a girl. At 16 weeks they confirmed the bloodwork with a ultrasound, still said girl. Then at 20 weeks we had another US at the OB's office and again, girl.

Clearly, they were all right....

I will be 20 weeks when we find out.

19w5d - there was no mistaking it was a boy!  I'm with the others.  Yay for little girls!  I don't think you're being silly in waiting.  I probably would too until I were 100% sure..

15 weeks and it didn't change.

I had two amnios with each of my pregnancies at around 17-18 weeks and these procedures involved an ultrasound. 

Both times we were told "she's a girl" and both times it was confirmed with the amnio results.

mrs.littlejeans

With both we found out around 18 weeks and #1 did not change.  I won't have another ultrasound with #2 until 36 weeks or so, and since it's a boy, I'm assuming it won't change.

We found out at 15w6d. We went to a place off of the BW8 and 59 called Sneak a Peek Imaging. They do them as early as 15 weeks with a 99% accuracy if they can see. They told us girl at that ultrasound however since it was a girl I was hestitant to believe it since you never know! However we had tons of "money shots" of her and never once did we see a little penis.

My dr does not do any gender determinations prior to 20 weeks, so we just found out again this week she is definately a girl! No boy parts to be found

darva

All after 20 weeks.  My doc won't do a gender ultrasound before then.  I think we Sam we were actually 21ish weeks.  But I had them confirm at every NST/BPP I had done in the later months... hehe

KelleyA

I don't blame you at all for wanting to be sure.  I asked the tech at EVERY ultrasound to reconfirm that Amelia was indeed a girl.  I was paranoid.

There's a girl on third trimester who just found out yesterday at 36w 4d that her little girl has a penis.   It was her first ultrasound since 18 weeks and well..things hadn't dropped and developed enough when they had it, but his boy parts were evident now.  So...she's scrambling to change her entire nursery now from pink to blue. 

CareBear01

No, you are not crazy!  :-)  Coworker found out at around 16 wks from the doc during a normal u/s that it was "95%" girl.  Family bought all sorts of girl stuff for Christmas presents.  At the "big" u/s (maybe at 20 wks?), they found out if was for sure a BOY. (they even were filming the u/s - so it's on youtube, them basically finding out that it wasn't a girl!  lol) 

I have heard it's easier to tell a boy early on than a girl, so I would be more inclined to believe it if it was a boy, but I think I would still wait until the big u/s, "just in case".  The mix ups still happen, and you know no one remembers gift receipts and return policies are a PITA.  :-)

lilygirl

We found out at 20w4d that we were having a girl. We had additional u/s at 30 and 26 weeks which both confirmed that it was a "she."

almond1123

at 11 weeks via blood test.  Every other test/ ultrasound we had said the same.

melissa0312

16w5d

it was when i was having the level 2 ultrasound and amnio. dr was absolutely sure and then the amnio results confirmed it. 

dd was not shy that day at all and he got a good look. we saw the "3 hamburger lines"

Well... the NT scan bloodwork told us girl at 14 weeks, but we refused to tell anyone or buy anything until we got visual confirmation at the anatomy scan.

We got a guess from the tech at the anatomy scan at 20 weeks, but couldn't be sure since she had her legs crossed and wasn't budging... our redo of the scan at 21 weeks to get the rest of the measurements confirmed it for sure. 

starlettedir

Thanks gals! There were no leg crossings at all. This kiddo is a moves around a lot which has be skeered ;-)

Those two stories of genders *changing* scare me but surely that's not the norm...right? RIGHT?! lol

this, but at 13 weeks.   it was confirmed at our 21 week ultrasound, though my doctor said she'd never seen the blood test be wrong.

kat.in.the.hat

found out at 12 weeks with both girls and it (clearly) didn't change.  With Marion, it was a tech guess, confirmed with a 20 week u/s and many u/s after that point.

With this one, it was a tech guess, confirmed with bloodwork (done at 12 weeks) and  20 & 24 week u/s

OSUx2

We found out at 39w 4d when we had her and didn't change 

Yes, I am no help, just having fun

Cajun_gal

12 weeks we were told girl which is obviously wrong.  At either 16 or 18 weeks we were told boy and the same at the big ultrasound.  I think you're probably pretty much in the clear right now.  I'm so curious to know whether it's a boy or a girl!

mom2ll

My doc has awesome U/S equipment.  We found about about 10-12 weeks with Luca...  There was NO WAY to deny he was a boy...  With Lila they told us 90% girl at 12 weeks and confirmed at 16 weeks...

At 12 weeks the tech said she was 75% sure it was a girl.  At 16 weeks the doc confirmed.  Another U/S at 20 weeks.  They were all correct.

dec05bride2be

With DD we found out at 16 weeks and was confirmed at 20 weeks, congrats!

M&M614

From what I know, it is NOT the norm for it to change.  It happens, but very rarely.  I think that's why people like to tell those stories so much.

 Oh, and we found out at 39 weeks both times. 

morganore

Because we were having complications, I was having ultrasounds weekly (sometimes more) and every time I went in I would ask if they could see what the sex was...at 13 weeks 2 nurses said they thought I was having a boy but they were not looking between the legs...then I had 2 nurses say they couldn't tell yet...then at 15 weeks we saw that I was really having a girl...the u/s tech said it was textbook material....but just in case I have to look each time we go, so we checked again at 16, 20, and 25 still a girl!
