I got a normal scan at 20 weeks for sex and then paid for the 3D at 28 weeks because she was more formed and looked soo much cuter!! I think they suggest the 3D one later because you can see more features etc on their face.
I was desperate to find out the gender of my bub, too. Yes, I also like to open my christmas presents before christmas day...
You may be interested to know that with my last pg we were told at 12 weeks and 5 days that she was a girl. Confirmed by the sonographer and the doctor. Apparently they look at the internal sex organs and the length and direction of the ureter. The US place I went to does specialise in gynae and obstetric US so the staff are very experienced. I asked the sonographer how sure she was and she said 'as sure as I am that I have two legs'. Anyway, if you are having a 2D US in the next few weeks, you MAY be able to find out the gender.
I just had an Early Gender Scan at 13w5d. I was SUPER worried that the lady would say "Oh, I'm 80% sure" and then I'd still be wondering. But it was clear as day, no doubting my little boy.
I had a scan done at 16 weeks due to a high risk of down syndrome when tested at 12 weeks. It was apparently clear as day at the 16 week scan - although i didn't find out (DH did and managed to keep it a secret until the end - go him!) hahaha
