Boys seem to be very skilled at disguising themselves as girls early on, so if you are told its a girl do bear it in mind that you might still wind up being surprised on delivery:)

We found out the baby's gender at 13 weeks at a 3D ultrasound place and it was a great experience. The tech very knowledgable and told us that male/female parts were very similar at that stage however their we're tiny differences that only the trained eye could spot and that if she wasn't 110% sure she wouldn't tell us and would just bring us back later in for free.. She said she knew right away that the baby was a girl however didnt want to tell in until she has confirmed from 3 other angles.

We were skeptical and didnt buy anything pink until after our A/S where the dr confirmed she was a girl. When we told him we went to a 3D place earlier, he said that the 3D places are almost always right since they their equipment is very advanced.

For $70 the early gender determination was definitely worth it for us. I'm REALLY impatient my coworker a due couple weeks after me was told girl as well which was confirmed at her A/S.

Goodluck!

The genders of our babies were pretty clear at my first anatomy ultrasound at 16 weeks exactly, and have been confirmed at 19 and 20 week appts. I will say that it was more obvious at the later scans, but the tech was still very confident at 16w.

We found out at 16 weeks and it's still the same at 34 weeks. I can't say with 100% certainty that they're not wrong, but I feel pretty confident that they're right after 4 ultrasounds.

We went in at 16 weeks to one of those 3d/4d places and he told us without a doubt it was a girl. He said he doesn't even guess unless he's 100% and showed us the pictures that showed it. We were pretty confident but a little nervous. At our 20 week scan they also said it was a girl though so it seems to have been right!

My BIL and SIL went in at 17 weeks with my nephew and he wouldn't cooperate though so they had to find out at 20 weeks (where he was very obviously a boy).

We found out the gender at 16/17 weeks (thought I was 16 going into the u/s but they dated LO at 17 weeks). We learned the gender that day and LO was actually not cooperating on the actual gender scan at 20 weeks so it's a good thing our u/s true to look at the first u/s (she said she couldn't when she thought I was 16 weeks but after dating decided she could try. I'm not sure how 5 days makes that big of a difference lol). Good luck!

This post is making me so tempted to go earlier! But DH says he doesn't trust those places, he'd rather hear it from the doctor's office. I think he has this hole in the wall scary fake doctor image of them, lol. But since I have an appointment next week and the scan where we should be able to tell gender the week or two after that, I'm going to at least wait and see if DH can make that appointment. If not we are going to do a 3D/4D. Good luck, can't wait to hear your update!

We found out at 13 weeks from out genetics ultrasound that our second is also a boy! We had mentioned that at Boy1's previous genetics ultrasound, he wasn't cooperating and a doctor had to be called in and the doc said that it was a boy and at the 20 weeks anatomy scan, boy1 was confirmed to be a boy! The technician showed us the money shot for Boy 2.

@googly-eyes: we did both the 3D/4D boutique scan and a scan at my doctor's office- both were done by ultrasound technicians, not the doctor. The 3D/4D tech told us at the beginning of the scan that she is not able to tell us anything health related on the record. She was upfront from the start about her credentials and what she could and couldn't do.

Honestly I had a better experience at the 3D/4D scan, she took way more time with us and showed us more than the scan at the doctor's office, which felt very rushed. We definitely felt like we got what we paid for.

I had an elective u/s at 16 weeks and was told butterbean was a girl. Seemed pretty obvious, even to me --not a nub in sight! I had an amnio a couple of days later (long story), and the results confirmed that we are, in fact, having a baby girl.

The sonographer (for the elective u/s) had awesome equipment, and told us she was at least 90% sure it was a girl. We also got an early 3D peek. We plan to go back at 26ish weeks for another elective u/s for more 3D pics.

@SorryCharlie: did you find out what you're having?

@hilsy85: Ya, i think it depends on the technician. I know its something pretty common here in Quebec but majority of the people I tell them about knowing the gender at 12-13 weeks look at me like I'm nuts.

oh happy day! so glad you found out very exciting!

@mrssunglasses - I feel like that a lot on the web!

We were told by the tech who was VERY confident at our 12+4 scan that LO is a girl. She told us we can re-confirm at our 16 week appt. But from what we've shown our friends, everyone thinks the tech is right and that our scan was pretty clear!

P.S. I've had friends who've gotten gender told at 10, 11, 12, and 13 weeks, all accurate. FX'd mine is too!
