Is there a time limit on finding out if the baby is a boy or a girl?

I will not have another U/S until I am 24 weeks pregnant. I am worried that the baby will be to big and squished in the uterus to see any little boy or girl parts. I hope I am just being paranoid.

    There's no time limit...you just never know if baby will cooperate the day you go in for the u/s. GL!

    Yes, after 23 weeks, if you don't know the sex, the sex organs go away and you will have a baby that is born a hermaphodite.

    I've always wondered what a hermaphrodite's privates look like....

    Ususally one sex is more prominant than the other.  The clitoris is extra big, which is usually a small penis, and if there if a vagina is may not go through all the way to a cervix, but if it does, there is most likely not a full reproductive system.  This is why back in the day (and even now) parents would gender assign their babies based on the most fully developed sex organs, which a lot of times turned/turns out to be the hormones they have the least of, the babies/kids grow up intersexed.

    Gotta love it. All I kept thinking in my head was -- yes, the baby's penis will disappear.?

    Yes, the baby does get squished after awhile - but not at 24 weeks (more like 35). ?Even then, if the baby cooperates... we just found out girl at 37 weeks!

    No need to worry! I think at that gestational age it shouldn't be an issue.
