I guess I'm just too old fashioned, I'm almost 14 weeks and didn't get any gender testing done yet... Going to wait until the anatomy test I suppose. Switching to a new doctor on my 16 week apt. So maybe we'll luck out and be able to find out then:)
Im from the UK everything is so different I've just blood taken for chromosome and other things and I haven't been told the sex of my baby I have to wait until I'm 20+ weeks. I'm having a heart scan on baby next week so I'm wondering as its in 3D/4D they can have a quick scan over and see if I can see anything lol x
So the UK has that too? I saw someone mentioned Canada was like that and I was shocked. I understand in China I guess, but is aborting babies based on gender really a problem in countries like the UK and Canada?
There is no abortion based on the baby's sex. In Canada, the blood tests are only starting to gain popularity and in an older population due to increased risk. We find out the sex old school, at the 20 week anatomy scan.
How does everyone know already? Just from DNA tests? I think I have to wait until December for the ultrasound thing. I was never offered these DNA tests everyone here got.
Don't feel bad. My doctor won't touch the sex before the 18/20 week scan.
Same here!
But congrats to everyone else who is finding out so soon!
Now that I am finally getting used to it I can also announce: we are having a baby boy! Did an ultrasound at 14w5d where baby is growing like he is supposed to and was measured to 14w5d! So excited to meet mamas little boy!
Since I am 35, the blood test was built into the process. A LONG 2 weeks later, I found out that I am at low risk and baby looks healthy. I told them I didn't want to know the sex though. DH wants to know but we are still trying to work out a solution. Am I the only crazy one that is thinking of waiting on the surprise?
Harmony results yesterday showed low risk for deformities and that our first child is.....a boy!!! We were so surprised! I swore up and down that it was a girl, whoops!
I am jealous of all of you April mommas who already know the sex of your baby! My due date is April 10th and my dr. just scheduled my gender ultrasound for November 16th. It feels like forever!!
Had Harmony test done and found out while I was in cabo that I'm having a Boy! Anthony Thomas.....Anthony after my boyfriend and Thomas after my dad who passed away when I was 9.
We wanted to do a gender reveal But when we went in for the 14 week appointment she said she could try to find the sex. Surprise! It's a boy!! I thought I would be a little upset if it wasn't a girl but turns out DH was more disappoint. Just seeing him wiggle around made everything okay!
My blood work came back with no abnormalities, and confirmed we are having a baby boy. I had a strong feeling already I was carrying a boy. This will be son #3. Yikes...
So we went for a scan last week and lo would not uncross his/her ankles. Told SO baby is already taking after him and it must be a girl. Trying again Wednesday and hopefully we will find out.

don't worry you're not the only one! We are waiting for April to find out as well. DH wants to know but because we found out with DD he is letting me have the surprise this time! It makes me even more ready for April to be here if that's possible!! Lol
We did an elective ultrasound to find out at a private office that does ultrasounds just for fun and for early gender determination, Google it and see if they have anything like that in your area! We're having our second girl! Found out at 15 weeks thanks to the ultrasound!
