    I was told at 16 weeks that my baby was a girl.

    I just had a scan today, at 19+ weeks, and it's been confirmed it's a girl. :)

    You can tell at 11-13 weeks, providing the baby is in the 'profile' position, this is based on the Nub theory. It's fairly accurate.

    However I don't recommend you start buying clothes on the basis of that.

    It's possible to find out at 14-15 weeks, but I'd say no earlier than 16 for an accurate result.

    Good luck xx

    I found out with my first 2 at 16 weeks and my 3rd at 20 but they are not always 100% All 3 of mine were right but I have 2 friends that were expecting girls and got boys.

    I had a 12 week checkup yesturday and asked the same thing. I was told you could probably see it around 16 weeks, but more than likely we could find out at the 20 week checkup. Thats when they do most ultrasounds because at 20 weeks the can see alot more.

    They normally check the sex of the baby at the 20 week ultrasound.

    Usually between 18 and 22 wks. But every pregnancy is different. Just remember your baby could be stubborn and not want you to know what he or she is, so you might have to have a couple of ultrasounds before you can find out.

    around 16 weeks is when they can start to see it but they usually wait until the 20 weeks ultra sound so that they can be more certain.

  • My friend found out at 10 weeks. But usually between 18 weeks and up
