First child, was a suprise
Second child at the 20week ultrasound
Third and final child at 20week ultrasound just in case I was going to have any unexpected feelings about gender. I wanted them out of the way before the birth.

Hi Maria,
Congratulations on your pregancy. It is pretty exciting to have another baby. I have two and am now done. I found out the gender of the first baby when I was 16 weeks pregnant. The second one I had an amnio and so found out at 13 weeks. I think that by 16 weeks they can usually see if it is a boy. If it is a girl they can not always tell. If you go for the 3D ultrasound you would be able to find out now.
Good luck. Stay well.
W.

I know my docter, He is a friend so I got an ultrasound everytime I went in. So I found out when I was 15 weeks, then went back in @ 19 weeks and she said for sure what I was having. But they say if you are thinner it is easier to tell early on.

When my son was born! My husband and I wanted to wait and be surprised.

Usually you can find out at the ultrasound or sonagram scheduled at about 5 mos.

Good luck!

18 weeks rings a bell for me. (My son's only 6 months old but my memory went out the door as soon as I got preggo!) More power to those who have the willpower to wait until the baby is born to find out what it is, but I couldn't wait!

So you should be able to find out any time now. Good luck!

From what I've found (in 3 pregnancies, 2 different dr's) is most dr's wait until around 20 weeks. Some dr's will do a bit earlier, but most of my friends all had to wait till 20 weeks as well. They do a lot of measuring at that stage, being the 1/2 way mark so that' usually when it's checked. Have fun, that's one thing I will for sure miss!

Blessings,

15 weeks! That's when you can "officially find out. By the way, make sure you drink all the water they tell you; it helps to see the baby. I'm on baby #4 and I can't wait!! So believe me.....I know how you feel. Good luck!
