Worth every penny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenhow-did-you-learn-your-babys-gender#post-479726 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:47:18 +0000 heffalump 479726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited till 20. If I did it earlier I would have just worried that it was wrong. Even waiting I worried my whole pregnancy it was wrong.</p> <p>Next time were going team green so I don't have to worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenhow-did-you-learn-your-babys-gender#post-479568 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:01:02 +0000 Ra 479568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: Hmm...I also had a LEEP about 10 years ago.

So the tech told us the gender at 16 weeks, confirmed at 19 weeks at our anatomy scan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenhow-did-you-learn-your-babys-gender#post-479244 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:44:41 +0000 MaisyMay 479244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a check up at 18 weeks and asked if the doc could tell. We weren't supposed to find out until 21 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenhow-did-you-learn-your-babys-gender#post-479228 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:42:05 +0000 BabyBruins 479228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At our NT scan at 12 weeks, the tech and the doctor guessed boy and it was confirmed at the anatomy scan at 20 weeks.<br /> I thought we were still discussing if we were going to find out and at 12 weeks when the tech asked us if we wanted her guess, hubs instantly said yes so I guess "we" decided to find out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenhow-did-you-learn-your-babys-gender#post-479197 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:36:52 +0000 Ra 479197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how you Team Green ladies do it!

We didn't want to spend any money for the elective just to find out a couple weeks earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenhow-did-you-learn-your-babys-gender#post-479033 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:02:52 +0000 JessiBee 479033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anatomy scan, which ended up being at about 21 weeks. There was no option offered for anything earlier, and even if there had been, I doubt we would have done it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenhow-did-you-learn-your-babys-gender#post-479032 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:02:34 +0000 Bao 479032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: actually she denied she said anything, but I think she thought she would be in trouble. We were really upset but made the best of it, and were thankful our baby was healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenhow-did-you-learn-your-babys-gender#post-479023 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:59:40 +0000 Ra 479023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Oh no!

We went through our 20 week ultrasound just fine and then needed to re-check the spine at 25 weeks. We told the ultrasound tech we were not finding out, but she accidentally slipped. So at 25 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenhow-did-you-learn-your-babys-gender#post-479005 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:54:34 +0000 oliviaoblivia 479005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until the anatomy scan at 20 weeks.

It is only $80. Should I assume my OB isn't going to do one at 16 weeks if she never mentioned it? She only mentioned a vaginal exam for that appt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenhow-did-you-learn-your-babys-gender#post-478976 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:45:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 478976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The anatomy scan at 20 weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenhow-did-you-learn-your-babys-gender#post-478975 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:45:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 478975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't realize you could get it done earlier than the 19-20 week anatomy scan-- I thought that was part of the anatomy scan (you know, boy/girl parts, anatomy.... ?) Shows what I know.

Did your doctor automatically do it around 16 weeks? Or did you have to wait until you 18-20 week second-trimester screening?</p> <p>I am DYING to find out! I am 14 weeks today. DH thinks we should get an elective ultrasound for gender. I have a doc appt that week, but she never mentioned doing an ultrasound. I don't know if I can wait until 19-20 weeks... </p>
