Being told the sex at the 12wk scan.

[misty]

Hi everyone,

has anyone else been told what sex their baby is, at the 12wk scan? We had ours today, and were told that it is most likely a boy (we could see it pretty clearly).

So if you have been told at the 12wk scan, were they right?

Yep I found out at the 12wk scan! They said they are pretty sure it's a girl...turned out to be right!

My SIL was told she was having a boy at her 13 week scan. It was, as you say, pretty clear. At 36 weeks she went in to try an ECV because her bubs was breech. They scanned the cord and such to make sure all was in a good position to try it and there was baby's large and obvious FEMALE equipment pressed against the inside of mums tummy... They took all the blue stuff back and swapped it for pink and it was a major hassle.

In the UK we get an early scan at 12-13 weeks automatically but 20week scans are optional and vary by health board. She might not have found out until birth.

So if you're getting another scan at some point later on i'd hold off on choosing a name or buying anything blue for a while

Both times yes, we got them to give us their best guess at the 12 week scan, both times they were right...first time boy, second time girl.

Yep I was told at the 12 week scan, and they were right on the money

With DD we were told 90% chance it was girl at 12 week scan and yep they were right!
