My doctor's office only does a scan at the first appointment and then they send you somewhere special to get a scan between 18-20 weeks. That's when you find out the sex. Of course, you can pay to find out earlier at other locations. There is a place in my town that does them at 16 weeks but I will be out of town and not able to go in until 17 weeks...then my doctor is doing the protocol scan 6 days later. I don't want to pay the money to find out 6 days early... seems like a waste.
So.. I just emailed the company to ask them if they would tell me the sex at 14.5 or 15 weeks.... fingers crossed! THAT.. I would pay extra for. That would give me 3 weeks of knowing the sex before my 18 week scan!
hmmm.. when are you finding out?
Re: When are you finding out the sex?
I would wait until the 18-20 week anatomy scan because that is when everything will be more defined...Plus I'd be more concerned about having a healthy baby with all of it's parts than how it pees...which is what most people here are going to tell you, so don't be surprised.
I found out at 21 weeks. Because patience is a virtue.

I am very anxious to know the gender, but not because I care what comes out, but because I want to start picking out names and it's hard to focus when I have 3 possible scenarios.
Also, and this is really silly, but I'm hoping for one of each so that when people ask if I'm having a boy or a girl I can say "why not both?" ha ha. Sorry, I just have a thing for stupid humor..... Lol...

There is nothing wrong with wanting to find out, but there are many many other important aspects of pregnancy that get overshadowed by this need to figure out what sex the baby is.
FYI sex is between the legs & gender is between the ears. Yes, it matters.

What I don't get though is the "I don't want everything gender neutral"-excuse. My newborn girl has a lot of clothes and stuff in all kinds of colors. She has inherited a lot of stuff from her boy cousins and I really don't see why it would matter. What are the benefits of buying items in a specific color based on baby's sex?
