Q: Gender Determination at what gestation?

I found out my son was a boy at 18w4d- what are the chances of finding out at exactly 18w? They told me that they were not 100% sure that they'd be able to tell me (it was quite obvious though lol). I'm looking at booking my appointment- the 3D Miracles building is 3 hrs from here, and I'm going to be in the city at exactly 18w. They usually don't do them under 20w, just looking for other ladies' experiences!!

We found out at 16+3 that we are having a little girl, but the genitals are fully developed by about 12 weeks - so depending on the quality of the ultrasound equipment, you should be able to find out fairly early. 18 weeks should be just fine as long as baby gives you a peek!

I will be finding out at 17 weeks as long as baby cooperates.

I found out at 12 wks and 1 day that I was having a girl. Now, this was at a perinatologist, so the equipment was high tech, but even to my untrained eye it was obviously a girl (you could see the tell tale 3 lines that girl shots have). By 18 weeks, it should be fairly clear clear what you're having! Good luck!

My friend is high-risk with all her pregnancies, so she has to see the high-risk doctor...apparently their ultrasounds are higher quality, as are the private ones you can have done. She is always able to find out at 16 weeks.

They should be able to determine a gender at 18wks, provided baby cooperates. I found out at 16+1 that I was having a boy, this is going back almost 14yrs...technology has advanced quite a bit. I'd book it!!
