Finding out the sex of the baby?

Hi guys, I have an appointment with my gynae on the 30th of August and at that time I will be 19 weeks five days. Im pretty confident that she will be able to tell us the babys sex. The problem is that my man will not be able to attend that particular appointment :( so he wants us to go to another doctor on my birthday the 20th of August to find out. I will be 17 weeks 2 days then. I just want to know if that doctor will be able to determine the sex then???

    Hi, i was 16 weeks 3 days and went for a private scan to find out the babys sex, they said it was a girl! when i went for my hospital scan at 20 weeks i asked them to check and they also said a girl :) so you will be able to tell at 17 weeks and 2 days :) good luck x

    YES!! 16 weeks + is when the doctors can tell you the sex. Obviously the older the baby the easier it will be to tell but at 17 weeks i'm sure they can give you a definate BOY or GIRL :) Good luck.

    I'm not 100% sure if the doctor will be able to determine the sex by then, you could always ring them and ask as they would be able to answer you best.

    My partner couldn't come with me when we were finding out the sex of our second child so I asked him to write it down and seal the envelope so we could open it together when he got home.

    Hope this helps.

    i'm just about 15 weeks and that i've got already booked in for my next ultrasound at 18 weeks and 5 days to make certain. My husband suggested he does not choose for to be attentive to yet I do. i think of that is totally interesting and the day of the start is going to be interesting adequate with no need the marvel of the toddlers intercourse. i choose for to start finding out to purchase stuff too. Goodluck! finally, that is as much as you.

    That comment above is so stuipd. And i hope for their sake they never fall pregnant

    ANYWAY

    By 17 weeks you should be able to tell your babies sex, but babies are not always co-operative and no matter how far along you are being able to see the sex is not always possible due to the position the baby may be in , so dont pin your hopes on finding out that exact day!

  • yes usually at about 16wks they can determine the sex but sometime the baby could be too small or a bit stubborn lol and hide genitals.... its likely they can tell by 17wks

    of course! you could find out the baby gender at 16weeks+ but it depend if the baby would cooperate and expose his or her private part hehe :] i heard to drink orange juice or alot of water so the baby could be more active and move around more so you able to see the baby private

    Just ask someone to look up your vagina and tell you what they see.
