Found out We're having a BOY!!

Yingyanglove · December 2013

Went in for our office visit today and was surprised that the u/a tech was able to see the sex of our baby!!

We are so excited!

Yingyanglove · December 2013

Only 12 weeks today!

pantherRN · December 2013

I wouldn't decorate the nursery or anything. At this point, girls and boys look pretty much the same.

She didn't post a picture of the goods (or rather lack of since it is so early). It's just a regular ultrasound picture.

RoxanneA · December 2013

Honestly not trying to be a debbie downer, but 12 weeks is way too early to tell unless you had a CVS or some other DNA testing done. At this point it is still 50/50 chance it's a boy.

SherylA80 · December 2013

hmmmmm i wonder its still a little to early from what I've been told

try to ask your Dr again for another U/S in a month to just make sure.

jensavicci · December 2013

I reeeeeeally wouldn't trust that just yet.

starlight0412 · December 2013

Still too early to tell. So don't get too excited just yet.

No, she absolutely should not ask her doctor for another ultrasound just to see if her baby has a penis or a vagina. That's not what ultrasounds are for.

I mean, follow up at 20 weeks, BUT:

All babies have a visible "nub" at this point. They look about the same, but nubs that turn into boy parts point up (angle greater than 30 degrees), girl nubs (clitoris) point down. 99% accurate by 12 weeks, but your tech has to be up on the latest research and know what they're looking for. I can post the paper from the computer but I'm on mobile now.

TGager · December 2013

Well, a friend just delivered on Friday and she was told it was going to be a girl... guess what she got for Christmas! A bouncing baby BOY...

She didn't have a bunch of U/S done, but still... You really don't know until it joins the rest of us... LOL

Congrats on the good appointment and beautiful U/S pic of the LO!

Thank you for being in my head today teal. I was going to post exactly this.

BBColt78 · December 2013

Meh. My MFM told me to confirm our decision on Team Green or not by our NT scan as they can "sometimes" tell the sex.

Edit: Techically the MFM office told me. I do not chat with my MFM directly on the phone

Confession: I saw the topic heading and my first thought was, "No you didn't."

Hairstylist16 · December 2013

Jeez people freak out over nothing. I'm sure she'll get another ultrasound at 20 weeks but way to ruin her happy moment.

V1981 · December 2013

I'm guessing they went by direction of the pointer. Hopefully they're right since you seem excited

Nobody freaked out. Also, anybody who has been reading posts on here would know that a sex reveal post isn't going to get "SQUEEEEEEEEE OMG!". Especially not at 12 weeks.

My first thought was that she got the bloodwork back (panorama etc).

This in fact, only 50% counts

I'm not a first time mom...I have a son and a daughter

We also received results from a blood test today. My u/s tech has also been doing this for 17 years so I trust her.

I'm sorry if you've yet to find out but don't rain on our parade

FX'd

Yingyanglove · December 2013

I will say I appreciate you moms who can enjoy my excitement. I have one of each so I could care less... All I want is a healthy baby! I am practical and even with blood test results I am not decorating until 20 weeks. I've had a few miscarriages so I'm cautious.
I've had 4 ultrasounds at this point and I have tons of pics. Today's session we were surprised when the tech said do you wanna know what your having? I thought it'd be next month.
I didn't post all of the pics because I didn't post because I had something to prove. Simply thought that was a great picture

I recently saw that they have new technology that can determine gender at 12-13 weeks so that wouldn't surprise me. Technology has developed so quickly over the last decade so I don't doubt that they've been able to. I do know that a lot of tests and ultrasounds have been wrong about not only gender, but multiples, diseases, etc so I take all of it with a sense of reality.

I'm sure you will get more definite results at 20 weeks but good for you! That's exciting and I wish you the best!

Boomshakalaka! Im excited for you girl! I have two boys too! (:

taylorjeanne84 · December 2013

I had an ultrasound at 11 weeks 6 days and while we were looking at my baby I jokingly asked my doc "So you're going to tell me if it's a boy or girl right??" He laughed and found the genitals on the screen and said, "Well if you can tell what this is then you are a better doctor than me!" He said we will check again at my next appointment, which will make me 16 weeks. This was a regular ultrasound machine, not 3d. Exciting, but I might wait a little while to buy baby gear! Congrats on a cute ultrasound though!!

It's not about the strength of the machine, it's the fact that genitalia is just forming into a penis or vagina and clitoris. At 12 weeks they pretty much look the same.

iris427 · December 2013

I dont know, there are studies showing sex can be determined with a high level of accuracy at 12 weeks by measuring the angle of the genital tubercle. But I would still secodn guess how good the tech was or how good the machine's measurements were. So while I do think science says it is possible to tell the sex at 12 weeks from ultrasound, I wouldn't paint the nursery yet either. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/10380292/

Congrats, if you received results from a blood test that showed the chromosomes and it was a boy then you have a boy, don't even need an US for that.

All of PPs information is really good to have. I had no idea that boys and girls look similar at this point and that the angle can make a difference. Thanks for the edumacation guys!

All I can say is God Bless You. I am a positive spirit and don't have time for senseless negativity. We are all adults.
