I was 16 weeks when I found out I was having twin girls....I knew at 4 weeks along I was having twins. It's VERY possible.

I have 4 kids. With 2 of them, I found out the sex at 18 weeks, and the other 2 16 weeks. Good luck--it also depends on the baby cooperating! :)

I found out one of my twins was a boy when I was 17 weeks. The other little guy wouldn't show his stuff until I was 21 weeks. Hopefully yours cooperates!

I am 28 weeks pregnant.I was 16 weeks 4 days when I found out the sex of my baby. Ive had ongoing ultrasounds because of complications and the sex is still the same. When I first found out I really didnt want to get excited either way because I read it was too early to be sure but its still the same with each ultrasound.

It all depends on how cooperative the wee one is and how good the ultrasound equipment is.

With my daughter tjey didn't 'confirm' it until 20 weeks(2nd trimester screening) but with my son when I was 11wks 3 days they told me 95% boy . It depends a lot obviously on the equipment and the doctor as well my doc is one of the best u could ask for!
Congratulations!

as long as your baby is cooaperating you should find out this time. If your appointment is durring a quiet time for baby drink OJ 30 min b4 time and it should wake baby up amd make baby very active. It is what I did.

You should totally be able to tell...especially if it's a boy. I think I've know with all of my kids by that point in the pregnancy.

With our first we decided to keep it a surprise, but when I became pregnant with our second child we decided that we did want to know the sex. I was able to find out the sex of my second child (a wonderful little boy) at 12 weeks. We were fortunate that the Ultra Sound Tech at my OBGYN was extremely experienced and of course my son cooperated too.

I can't remember the exact time we had the ultrasound that told us we were having a boy, but they said there was a certain degree of possible error. The amnio definitely informed us our baby was a boy with no margin for error. He's turning 12 yrs old this week and he's a great kid!

Dear B.-

My eldest son was born in germany. There they do ultra sound on every visit...and kept telling me it was a girl! My then hubby did not want to know the sex...so I smuggled a COMPLETE girls wardrobe in (infant thru 3t). (The px was being re built...so GREAT sales...I could NOT resist!)

Anyway...when HE was born, I could NOT wait to get his diaper off to make sure he was not a 'little' boy...lol

Wishing you a healthy baby!!

I had my first US at 18 weeks with my first pregnancy and was told with reasonable certainty that baby was a girl. Then, at 38 weeks, my OB did an US in the office and, indeed, we were having a SON! Yikes! 3 years later, my daughter inherited all of the frilly and flowery pink dresses that my son didn't use...needless to say, I didn't believe she was going to be a girl until she actually arrived!

answers from Atlanta on

It's not really early. Most women have their anatomy scan between 18 and 20 weeks and find out the sex if the baby cooperates and opens its legs. I found out gender with mine at 20w (boy), 15w (boy), 13w confirmed at 18w (girl) and 18w (boy). Most 3D elective/gender ultrasound places will tell you around 16 weeks.

That is about the time most people have an ultrasound so it isn't early. I did with my kids. With my middle daughter we could't tell but I had placenta prevera sp so I have I think 3 ultrasounds till they said it moved in the correct position. With my youngest we couldn't tell and i was told I can ask my Dr to make up a reason so I could have another but I didn't. My kids are very close in age and I didn't have the energy to worry about it.

Hi there, my friend found out she is having a boy at 12 weeks. I am 13 weeks this week and have an ultrasound next week, and the doc seems to think we will know the sex by then! I'll be 14 weeks and 3 days.
