    I found out on Saturday with my Twins what we were having. My hubby even picked which twin was which. Although I am not racing out to buy colour appropriate clothes until after the 20 week scan
    So one of each?

    I knew at 16 weeks but only because we had an amnio. I wouln't have trusted a scan anyway as I know someone who had 8 scans and was told at each one it was a boy but it was a girl.

    My 13 week scan with Bonnie my tech wouldn't hazard a guess, but it was obvious that she was a girl If you get a good enough tech it should be easy enough to get a good idea of bub's gender. Sure it's not 100%, but it may give you an idea

    Here's hoping for PINK!!

    We found out at 17 weeks. I asked at our 12 week scan but the sonographer looked at me like I was an idiot and aid it was way too early.

    Anna, our sonographer told us at our 12 wk scan that he thought DS was a boy...although we took it with a grain of salt (I thought it would have been pretty inaccurate at 12 wks) and then kinda forgot about it for the rest of the pregnancy. We decided at our 20 wk scan that we'd wait to find out.

    Wasn't until after he was born that we said 'hey, he was right!'

    Personally, if I'd really had a preference about gender, I would have waited till 20 wks to have it confirmed. I just think at 12 wks they are much more likely to get it wrong and that could have been disappointing.

    I would say it was your sonographer that was an idiot. as I said earlier, I have read heaps of stuff lately that say the gender can be seen at 12 weeks with pretty high rates of being correct. I haven't time now but I will find it later & post. Im sure it was like 93% right.

    We were by dating 12w2d yesterday but our little boy measured 13 wks exact... yep definitely a boy, could see several times throughout the scan and in the 3D mode as well.
    Samuel we could tell on his NT scan at 12w5d. Girls I think are harder to detect early on but boys can be clear as!!!!

    At our NT scan I thought that maybe I saw a pair of legs opened wide viewed from the bum upwards and clearly saw boy's bits, but then I also thought later on that bub had its legs crossed and the sonographer said they weren't.

    We showed our DVD to a group of friends the other night and one of my friends, who's a sonographer, said she thought she could tell what sex bub was, but wouldn't say what she guessed, said the umbilical cord is often mistaken for a willy. I had my dates at 12w on the dot (charting), the bub measured 12w 5d.

    We'll ask to find out at the next scan at 18w 3d.
