Early gender reveal!

in 1st Trimester
For all you ladies out there hoping you don't have to wait until 20 weeks to find out your baby's gender...my husband and I had a private scan today and found out we are having a little boy. I am almost 14 weeks and it was incredibly obvious and was very exciting. We did both the normal ultrasound and 3d, but they really took their time for us to see the baby way more clearly than just a normal ultrasound at the doctor. I highly recommend it!

    OP my husband was deployed when I had my anatomy scan, so we went to a private ultrasound before he left to see the baby together. They wouldn't even take a guess at sex until 17 weeks....

    I'm probably repeating what a lot of people already said, but the 20 week ANATOMY scan is not to find out the sex. It has a much more important roll. It's to find out if your baby is healthy. If they happen to flash their genitals, they will ask you if you would like to find out the sex.

    It's a BOY

    It is unbelievable the amount of backlash and petty comments to this post. I really don't see why it's necessary to make someone feel bad for being excited on the babies sex. That doesn't mean they don't care about the well being and health. Also, if they they want to pay whatever the cost is to find out and can do so then great for them. I can't believe that you are all grown women ganging up on someone for being excited about they're baby. Grow up!

    You know what @pupsnbaby you're right.  We are all being soooo mean. Guys we should stop and start acting like grown women.

    Is that what you are looking for us to say? I mean after all you joined about 5 days ago and are all knowing about the culture that we have here for several years now right?

    This is like trying to correct someone on their grammar and still getting it wrong

    *They're.

    Lol I don't usually write rude comments. But no, their is correct. They're means they are. You are wrong. But I think it's funny that you tried to correct her. Lol

    Question about the whole gender vs sex thing.  I'll probably get some snarky comments, but oh well.  I understand the difference, but why is it such a hot button?  It's pretty common for people to use the two interchangeably.  I actually googled it because I was curious.  Livestrong.com actually talks about finding out the "gender" of your baby.  I feel like Livestrong is a fairly reputable site.  I really don't think people are intentionally trying to be insensitive by using the word gender instead of sex.  It just seems that the comments are saying, "How could you be so stupid to confuse the two?"  Probably some pretty educated people don't know the difference.  Maybe just another reason to be snarky?

    Ok, thanks.  I guess that puts it in perspective.  I will be more sensitive in how I use the terms.  I guess I'm just saying that even "The Bump" uses it incorrectly.  So, I agree, "as conscious, caring people" we can help other people understand.  I just think by attacking someone and making them feel stupid is probably not the best way to get this point across.  This may not apply to you, but it definitely applies to others.  Like I said, I don't think most people are trying to be insensitive.  If you put someone on the defensive, they're less likely to change anyway, so what have you accomplished?

    Ok, maybe attack is a strong word.  Continue on with your education of others however you see fit.  I'm not sure how many people will change, but it makes for an interesting read.

    Edited to add:  I guess you all did give answer my question and I will be more sensitive to this issue.

    Didn't that hurt?

    OP, sex organs aren't fully developed until around 15 weeks or after so take that sex guess with a grain of salt.
    Horribly.
    They're??? wtf.

    I think it's funny how attached people get to words!
    Gender might be different to sex but do people really think that using the correct word is going to significantly help the people who are ostracized by society as a result of their gender and its expression?
    Rather than being so concerned with the correct term how about we don't call it anything and just accept that everyone can act, be and do things however they want without feeling the need to place them on a scale. Rant over.
