lulizzle - 88 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You'll get to know! I found out at about 17 weeks! I also found out that my due date was about a month off too when I had my ultrasound..now Im havin an August baby instead of July! Good Luck with everything!

mattie4 - 89 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i found out at 18 weeks and they said they couldn't be more certain that it is a boy...lol

mzmommy2b - 89 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I found out at 18 weeks! I think that the earliest that you can get an accurate answer is 17 weeks. This is because before then, your baby has not even grown a "specific gender part down there". They all start off with the same thing.

Carmione - 90 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) That's not too early at all. Depending on the accuracy of your due date and measurements- if you're a bit earlier than expected it may be a little harder to tell- but one good reference that I was able to use when we went in was the good ole "three line" visual, which indicated that our Bun was a girl. Check out a few ultrasound pictures to test your eye at determining boy from girl. I did it and it was fun, challenging at first- but once you know what you're looking for- it's a cake walk!

MelissaJoanne - 90 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I hear 20 is best, but your doctor might be able to tell for sure at 18. Evidently at 12 weeks there is a 50% accuracy rate for u/s gender prediction, which I find pretty laughable. I could predict the gender with 50% accuracy without an ultrasound!

hhall - 91 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) We found out at 17 weeks it was a boy. And he was!!

tamaraleigh - 91 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I found out at 13 weeks I was having a boy. I think its easier to "see" that its a boy though. I had a 3d scan though. Definitely by 20 weeks but you should be able to tell now.

ttasha - 91 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) they all say 20 weeks is the best time to tell the sex of your baby but im sure you could find out now

pregnantegyptian - 91 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) no that's perfect. I got my first ultrasound when i was 16 weeks and it wasn't accurate so now i am 22 weeks and i found out i am having a little boy.

Madisons-Mom - 91 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I was told 18weeks.....

LMO - 91 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) no thats not too early you can find out when your 17 weeks or even well into your 24th week

nich-vegas-mommy2be - 91 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I found out my baby's sex through a regular u/s at 17 weeks. I've heard that any earlier decreases the accuracy of the guess, but mine was very obviously a boy at 17 weeks. Just had my 20 wk u/s and, yep, still a boy!

Mommyof2boys - 91 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I went for my 18 week u/s when you should be able to tell but my lil one didn't want us to know that day so I finally found out at 24 weeks, I had a friend who found out when they did her 16th week but thats a little soon its different for everyone, If you plan on doing a planned one I would schedule it for 20 weeks just to be on the safe side.

shai-zoe - 92 days ago thanks everyone!!

septmommie - 92 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) We've got our u/s appt for week 18....I've heard anywhere between 18-22 weeks is a good time. you may check with insurance as some will only pay for the u/s at 20 or later.

slg3233 - 92 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You should be able to see baby by 18 weeks, but I have always been told 20 weeks for sure!

agrodebush - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'm 16 weeks and will find out in 2 weeks at 18 weeks

HollieNJax - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) No, you should be able to tell easily at 18 weeks.

rathi - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) No it is not too early. Anywhere between 16-20wks they should be able to tell the gender of the baby.

Laura Ward - 93 days ago Rating: 3 (1 votes) By ultrasound you can get a good guess around 15 weeks and a better guess around 16 weeks and beyond. Most doctors wait until the big 20 week anatomy ultrasound and do it together. Amniocentesis can detect the sex much much earlier.

christen - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) THEY CAN TELL AROUND 4 MONTHS THEY JUST CHOOSE TO WAIT TIL 20 WEEKS TO MAKE SURE WHAT THE ACTUAL SEX IS....I THINK IT WOULD BE FINE TO FIND OUT AT 18 WEEKS

mommytobe29 - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You can tell as early as 15 weeks.

OurBabyBean0508 - 93 days ago Rating: 2 (1 votes) If you go to a very high tech ultrasound place they can start to tell the sex at about 15 weeks. Although many places will not give you a real confirmation until you've reached 17 weeks. At this point they should have NO problem identifying the sex on a regular 2d ultrasound. So, you should be in very good shape at 18 weeks! We had our appointment when I was 17 weeks but we went to a 3d & 4d ultrasound place that had all the latest equipment. Good luck doll and congratulations!

theshimel - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) you can tell by 16 weeks on average. most people find out between 16-22 weeks.

kaylasmommy - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i was at 19 weeks when they could tell my baby was a girl. but it all varys to see if you baby will be in the right postion.

michaela - 93 days ago Rating: 2 (1 votes) You can tell the sex asearly as 16 weeks although most places wont guarantee anything at that time. It is best to wait until 20 weeks for a clear view when getting scanned. So at 18 weeks you should get an answer. Good Luck with the rest of your pregnancy. xx
