Gender Question!

What is the soonest you can find out the gender? My OB said I can do it at my next appointment which would put me at 12 week and a day but I feel like I’ve heard women being able to find out sooner. I am getting antsy lol

I think you can do the NIPT, which will tell you gender, as early as 10 weeks. I did mine at 10 weeks and 2 or 3 days. And I got it back in about a week!

You can find out sooner through blood test. I think the absolute soonest you can see on an ultrasound is 12 weeks, but that's not guaranteed. It's much clearer on ultrasound by 16-20 weeks!

10 weeks NIPT. 12 week scan you’re not guaranteed to know.

Note that the NIPT test results can take up to 2 weeks to get back. Some are faster depending on your lab but just be prepared to wait

I did a sneak peak blood test (clinical) at 9w! It’s 99% accurate so I won’t buy anything until we confirm gender with a later scan. But I also just really wanted an idea!

Technically there are at home kits you can order and send off to labs as soon as 7-8 wks!

I did my nitp at 9wks and got my results back in 5 days. The paperwork said 99.4% accurate

I did sneak peak at 6 weeks!

This is my 4th kid, and I've never found out until 18 weeks! This time I'm being told my sister can find out at 12 weeks!

10 weeks with NIPT

I just ordered Sneak Peak after reading lot of reviews. Im at 10 weeks, and my next appointment for another month.

Avatar

that’s a good idea! I might do that because I’ll have to wait another three weeks because I couldn’t get an appointment sooner than that 😭 I’ll be 13 weeks by then! 🤦🏻‍♀️

NIPT will do it like 8-13 weeks? Somewhere in that range. Sneakpeek does it starting at 6 weeks. Both of these are blood tests. We have a local private US clinic that will do it at 16 weeks for 60$ other than that they will let you know at your 20 week anatomy scan which is what we will be doing 😊

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Constant braxton hicks!

I’m 29 weeks tomorrow and they are constant especially when I’m walking about!

This didn’t start happening until I was like 36 weeks with my son 😩

Anyone else the same?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
