gender

How soon did everyone find out the gender of their baby? My best friend just recently found out at 12 weeks and she then miscarried a week later. She didn't go to the hospital or anything, guess they told her over the phone there wasn't much that could be done and she could come in if she started getting fevers or sick or anything..that's just so crazy to me. It's crazy she found out so early and then only to miscarry. Makes it feel like once you find out the gender it's a real actual baby and then to just randomly miscarry..can't believe it.
