Gender?

Question

At what week can you usually tell the gender? I have a long ways to go but I am very curious. I've heard as early as 13 you can see the gender of the baby if positioned in the right way. Also I heard that week 20 is very popular too. What is it??

Answer

20 is standard

Answer

I'm getting a 2d ultrasound at a 2d/3D ultrasound private place, and they are telling me at 14 weeks and 3 days. Already made the appointment, I'm about to be 9 weeks this Saturday.

Answer

A private ultrasound place where I live will use 3d/4d as early as 14 weeks to determine gender.

However at your doctors office 20 weeks is typical

Answer

Most doctors will give do a routine anatomy scan at 20 weeks or so to make sure baby is growing okay. Some doctors will order ultrasounds sooner and if they are able to tell the tech will ask you if you want to know. They say they can determine as early as 14 weeks but that the best view is after 16 (provided baby doesn't have his legs crossed or something lol)

There are private places that will do ultrasounds "for fun" just to give you a picture of the baby. They won't do any diagnostics and tend to be about 15 minutes long. A lot of those places will actually let you go in as early as 14 weeks and give you a second appt for free at 16-18 weeks to confirm the results of the first ultrasound. Some doctors will advise against elective ultrasounds though, so if you are doubtful or worried you may want to talk to your ob before doing an elective one.

Answer

I did the blood test Monday at exactly 10 weeks just waiting to hear

Answer

With the Harmony, Panorama, and Informaseq you can have a blood test drawn at 10 weeks and it can determine gender. It's genetic testing so it's not indicated for just determine the gender but if you have any concerns about genetic disorders it's an option.

Answer

Absolute earliest is 11 weeks if you qualify for a cell free fetal DNA test.  By ultrasound, some techs claim they can tell at 14 weeks but recommend against buying specific colors/painting until confirmation at 20 weeks which isn't pushing me to trust them that much.  18-20 weeks is standard for the anatomy scan and, if the baby cooperates, you can tell pretty well.  That being said, if the baby's legs are curled up blocking the view of the necessary parts, you may not even be able to tell at 20 weeks.
