Told I'm having a girl at 16 weeks?
Yesterday I went in for a 3d 4d u/s the woman said its a girl she said she could see her little private part could she be wrong? Has anyone been told they are having a girl at 16 w and end up having a boy? I am so happy and already started buying things!

It depends on the skill of the ultrasound technician. My ultrasound that I was told I was going to have a little girl occurred at the 18 week mark. think the 16 week mark may be the very earliest they can tell. Even when I mentioned to my doctor that the ultrasound tech told us we were having a girl, he would never once commit to saying it was a female. I think he was just being extra cautious, and of course when I gave birth, it was a girl and he acknowledged her then...but he'd rather not be sued. I'd say if at your next ultrasound, usually at 18 weeks, you could be pretty sure (or if she is a highly experienced, greater than 10 years of correct guesses ultrasound tech). Just be aware that 16 weeks is certainly early. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and I wish you the best of luck! Remember when the baby comes and after, rear face for as long as possible in the car seat!

No matter how far along you are ultra sounds could be wrong. Some people's doctors told them they were having a girl and they took a little boy home in a pink dress. Ultra sounds are never a hundred percent but they are a good indicator after about 20 weeks.
