Hi friends! I am almost a member of the 2nd tri

I am curious-- at what week did you find out the sex of your baby? I am having my very first u/s later this week (at 12w, 2d) but I was wondering about how much longer I had to go before gender could be determined. I'm sure this gets posted a lot, but oh well-- if ya don't know, ask! Thanks!
Re: Curious: When did you...?
I believe at least 16ish weeks. Most Drs won't do anything until 18-20 though.
Obviously I don't know yet. I am just going off of what I've seen on the boards.
My ob said not until 20 weeks.
Most people find out after the 18th week! I think you can find out a little bit earlier if you do amnio tests. Every Dr. is different so you might just want to ask yours when they do that u/s. Mine didn't want to do it until 22 weeks, but she recommended a place called Stork Vision who could tell me at 18 weeks & I'm HIGHLY impatient so that is when we found out.
Welcome! & hope thats helpful!
Lurking might be a good option, too...
we are not finding out the sex of the baby, but I asked my OB if it was possible to see it at 12-13 weeks and she said it was very unlikely - but not impossible. A lot of girls here actually found out that early, but again, it is very unlikely...
I will go in for the big one by week 20 though.

Mine was originally scheduled for 23-1/2 wks, but ended up having it at 20-1/2 wks cuz I was having some horrible pain. My office typically won't do them until you're at least 20 wks. At first I thought it sucked waiting that long, but I figured if we waited, there would be less guessing!
Ask your doc's office when you go this week. Enjoy your first u/s!
