Is 16 weeks early enough to find out the gender?

Question

My husband and I really want to know the gender, but I don’t want to pay for a private scan if it’s going to be too early. I’m 16 weeks. 
Has anyone else had a gender scan around that time?

Answer

Definitely should be in the clear, but I believe most private places have a guarantee that if they can't figure it out, you can come back at a later date for free.

Answer

My doctor said starting at 15 weeks you can tell if baby cooperates!

Answer

You should find out in a few weeks! Do you have your anatomy scan scheduled? It’s usually between 18-20 weeks. 
I’m not sure if it would be to early on a private scan but if you need to know ahead of time you can also find out via blood test.

Answer

I found out at 14 weeks via ultrasound. It was clear we are having a boy

Answer

I’ve done all three of mine at a private place at 13-14 weeks and was able to tell 100%. My third was being stubborn at first and crossing her legs. But after walking around for a little bit and moving she cooperated

Answer

Awesome!!! Thanks everyone 😊 I think we’ll schedule one for this week!

No I did mines at 12 weeks and 3 days

Answer

They say any time after 15 weeks is usually safe unless the baby doesn’t cooperate.

I’ve done all 3 of mine at 14 weeks
