I get an ultrasound every 3-4 weeks to take cervical measurements. At my last appointment (13w1d) I asked the sonographer if she had any guess on the sex of my baby. I knew it was way too early, but couldn't help myself

Where I live there is an u/s place that you can pay $50-$75 and they'll tell you the gender...earlier than you would at the doctor. I would never use it BUT i have lots of friends that have done it.

I'm sure this will cause a few eye rolls, but there is a period around 12-13 weeks when some experienced doctors/techs with top of the line equipment can at least give a good prediction at the sex. The ultrasound office I go to in LA is one of only a few
