How early did you know sex?

[Katy91]

Question - how early did you find out the sex of your baby, and how did you find out - ultrasound or amno or what?

I had an ultrasound at 16 weeks and they said it looked like a boy. Wondering how many people get an accurate read at that time. I just want to know everything!

I think it all depends on the OB you are seeing. Mine won't even attempt to tell you the sex until you are 18+ weeks. We found out at our 20 week anatomy scan and they were really obvious. We could tell w/o even being trained that it was a boy and a girl.

Congrats on the baby boy!

My OB told me at 16 weeks that I seem to be expecting a boy, but as she said she couldn't get a hundred percent perfect view, to keep a question mark after the sex. At 20 weeks it was confirmed that I am, indeed, having a boy. So they can often tell at that time, but if the baby doesn't fully cooperate, a smart dr will probably tell you to wait for a later confirmation to be sure.

I found out that we're having a boy at 13 weeks. The perinatologist felt very confident but I'm still waiting on the 20 week scan to start planning just to be sure.

We found out at an ultrasound at 17 weeks that it was a girl, and it was confirmed at a 22 week us. I, however, am still convinced that with my luck I'm going to buy all girl things and have her turn out to be a "he". Oh well!

At 12 weeks they couldn't tell at 16 weeks they said MOST definitely a boy. Good Luck!
