I absolutely *knew* LO1 was a boy from the beginning, so it wasn't as exiting to find out. But I had no clue for LO2 and was on pins and needles to find out! We couldn't tell at the 12 week scan and my OB did a scan at 18 weeks on his crappy office machine and he couldn't tell then either, so I had to wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299352 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:01:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 2299352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were team green with our first, but this time I asked at the 12 week scan and she guessed girl but said it really was just a guess. Found out at 20 week anatomy scan that she was right (well, we think- not born yet!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299271 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 11:59:49 +0000 Alivoo01 2299271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 weeks for both kiddos during my NT scan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299236 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 11:35:50 +0000 hilsy85 2299236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14 weeks throgh panorama for #2. 16 week u/s with lo1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299227 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 11:28:43 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2299227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Found out at the anatomy scan both times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299213 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 11:20:15 +0000 BandDmommy 2299213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: really?

If I wasn't AMA though, I assume we'd have to wait until the anatomy scan like last time (with LO, that was at 18 weeks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299121 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 10:14:21 +0000 lovehoneybee 2299121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found out with #2 at an U/S at 16w4d. They wouldn't even guess my 12w U/S. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299118 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 10:13:13 +0000 skipra 2299118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was about 16 weeks. I wound up in the hospital for fluids because I was sick and they did an ultrasound to make sure he looked OK. I had my anatomy scan a few weeks later and they couldn't tell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299108 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 10:08:03 +0000 mrsrain 2299108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 14 weeks with #2 and still don't know the gender. I had the NT scan a couple of weeks ago but baby would not uncross his/her legs to let the tech guess at the gender! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299105 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 10:05:59 +0000 californiadreams 2299105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: my ultrasound tech said she was not allowed to tell me period and after the anatomy scan i would have to find out from my midwife at my next appt. So before i went i asked my midwives to put a note on the requisition form that they are allowed to tell me, so the tech did tell me but she was annoyed about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299099 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 10:02:23 +0000 BandDmommy 2299099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: Same here. They actually said they weren't allowed to say at NT scan because it was somewhat of a guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299098 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 10:01:06 +0000 californiadreams 2299098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i found out at the 19 week anatomy scan both times. I asked at my NT scan at 13 weeks, but they said it was too soon to tell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299097 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 10:00:43 +0000 autumnlove 2299097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paid for an elective scan at 16 weeks for LO 2 and I had a genetic blood draw at 10.5 weeks for LO 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299096 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 09:59:53 +0000 BandDmommy 2299096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Found out about 11 or 12 weeks both times. Result of blood tests. I don't think I would trust US that early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299094 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 09:58:32 +0000 Mamasig 2299094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With #1 and #2, I found out at the anatomy scans at 20 weeks. I'm hoping to find out earlier this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299088 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 09:55:58 +0000 hellobeeboston 2299088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found out with our second around 11 weeks due to the Harmony DNA blood test. (Had because I'm 35, AMA) first we found out at 18/19 weeks at anatomy scan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299078 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 09:50:46 +0000 Truth Bombs 2299078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found at 11 weeks from a blood test that was done at 10 weeks. Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable trusting ultrasound results at 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finding-out-gender-for-second-or-subsequent#post-2299073 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 09:49:00 +0000 MaisyMay 2299073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who far along were you when you found out the gender of your second or later? I am pregnant with #2 now and turn 12 weeks tomorrow. I have an appt on Friday and am hoping we get a look. A friend of mine found out at 12 for her second, so she is hoping we find out too. I think we found out for our first around 14 weeks.</p> <p>How far along were you when you found out if your second or later little was a boy or a girl? Was it earlier or later than your first? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-and-diabetes#post-1948262 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 20:13:32 +0000 Raindrop 1948262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: Good to hear that the scan was good! </p> <p>When you have diabetes your baby could be larger than normal. </p> <p>Did you get screened for diabetes? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-and-diabetes#post-1948251 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 20:02:31 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1948251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad that all is well my dear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-and-diabetes#post-1948248 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 19:59:45 +0000 Kemma 1948248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just thought I'd follow up on my thread and report back that the report from my anatomy scan came back all clear (although baby is measuring slightly ahead and has an abdomen in the 98%!) and my midwife has absolutely no concerns! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-and-diabetes#post-1930574 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 10:19:44 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1930574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a second anatomy scan because of something that came up on the first, and I was measuring ahead and they freaked out about GD, too. They promptly sent me for a GD screening the next day which came back completely normal. If it'd help assuage your fears, ask your doc to get your screening sooner rather than later. I'm now 39 weeks pregnant and baby is a normal size-my guess is he will be healthy but not huge! Good luck:-). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-and-diabetes#post-1930551 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 10:09:10 +0000 SeptMomma12 1930551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not have diabetes, but my baby was always measuring 2-3 weeks ahead, beginning at the anatomy scan. They remarked at the anatomy scan that his head was big, but I don't recall any questions about diabetes. He was just a big kid - born at 8lbs 14oz and 22 inches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-and-diabetes#post-1930190 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 00:13:27 +0000 lilteacherbee 1930190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have gestational diabetes, your baby has a good chance of being bigger, but not always. I did have GD and my baby measured 3-4 weeks ahead the entire time. Before I was diagnosed at 28 weeks, I was asked at every ultrasound if I had diabetes because he was measuring large. He was born at 39 weeks and was almost 9 lbs and had a huge head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-and-diabetes#post-1930173 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 23:45:40 +0000 Kemma 1930173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Ladies</p> <p>I had my anatomy scan this morning (19w2d) and while the tech was measuring the head, he asked me if I was diabetic. As far as I could tell Baby has a big head (measuring over 20 weeks!) and I'm wondering if this is what prompted the diabetes question?</p> <p>Any suggestions? I don't see my midwife until the 19th but I'm curious rather than overly worried.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
