12 Week Scan - Gender ????

We have our first scan pretty soon and we are also testing for downs syndrome as well at the same scan. I was just wondering if you think I’d find out the gender ? Just because I’ve read some pieces on here that some women found out at there downs scan and some found out as early as 13 weeks.

At my 12 week scan we could very obviously see a penis. I asked the tech if it was a penis but she wouldn’t confirm it and just said it was “suspicious” of being a boy. Turns out it is definitely a boy. Seems to me some people will say, some people won’t because they don’t want to tell you wrong as 12 weeks is still pretty early to know for sure. But boy parts are definitely noticeable at that point

If you check for downs and other chromosome differences then yes, the test results will also give you the sex chromosome the baby has. It take about 8-14 days to get the results. I’m still waiting on mine!!

Are you talking about NIPT?

I know I had a very basic downs test that only tested for certain markers and wasn’t the full genetic test that told gender

If you get the materniti21 test you can find out at 10/11 weeks. We have to have that done. It checks everything since I’m high risk. I don’t want to know until we do my reveal idea but we will announce it around 15 weeks probably if weather is good.
