    Hehe I'm sure they could have told me at my 19 week scan but I asked them not to, I want a surprise But I'm sure if your sonographer is experienced they would have seen enough scans to be able to tell for you that early if you want to know.

    I think they can say with a little more certainty if it is a boy. When I had my 12 week scan she said she had an idea of the gender but wouldn't tell me because she couldn't be certain. I've just had my 19 week scan and we found out that we are having a girl. The whole time I was looking for the boy bits lol as I was so used to seeing them!

    They can tell at the 12 wk scan but there's only 50% accuracy, where as at the 19wk scan there is 90% accuracy.

    I was told at 12 wks baby was a boy but dont rush out going nuts on blue just yet. I then had a scan at 16wks and was told boy again but hold off buying blue. Properly confirmed boy at 19 wk scan.

    Its all in the "angle of the dangle", babies bits look the same at 12 wks but if the dangle points down and is parallel with the spine its a girl, if the dangle is a 30 degree angle to the spine and points upwards more (but not straight up) its a boy. There is a very interesting site that shows you all about this not sure if i can share the link on here though, dont want to get into trouble

    My DS was really obvious at 12 week scan (lucky shot that showed it all).. However I didn't tell anyone JIC it was a severe hormone imbalance at this early stage..

    I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to ask LaDolceVita where you had your scan done? I can see in your signature the sonographer was right. I'm in Brisbane as well so I want to go to same person
