Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

Both my OB and high risk doctor guessed the genders of my
The guesses actually match, but I am still leary. Did anyone get a guess this early? Was it accurate ???

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

my sister got an accurate guess at 12 weeks... it was a boy... idk if that makes a difference

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

I know 2 friends who got a gender guess at 12w and both were correct 16w and 20w sonos.

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

My ob guessed at 12 weeks, as did my perinatologist. At 16 weeks it was confirmed by my perinatologist. I am waiting til 20 weeks just to make sure even though she said she is 100% sure. I figure the baby is only 4.5 inches at this point. Think how small that region must be!

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

I got the boy guess for my son at 13 weeks and the girl guess for my daughter and 11 weeks. BTW, it's not really a guess. They actually look at the baby and see... whatever it is they are suppose to see.

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

Ok .. so... what did they guess?!

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

My doc told me that I was having a boy at 13 weeks - they had a pretty clear view of his bits

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

sono tech told us at 11w2d that she was pretty sure it was a -- we took it with a grain of salt because it was so early but asked a diff tech at our NT scan (12w1d) who also said if she had to guess she would say

We had an anatomy scan at 16w1d and it was so obviously a boy that I could tell from the sono. We have photo proof and both the tech and doctor told us it was 1000000% boy.

I guess it's possible!

yeah really?!?!!!!!!!

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

My docs wouldn't tell me for sure that early on. They would tell me they think they might know but cant tell for sure.
The finally told us for sure at 18 weeks. And a few weeks ago when we told them that we were ready to paint the room they checked again and confirmed the sexes of both babies. LOL

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

i know of 2 people who were told boy between 12 and 15 weeks, and they were both girls. one went for repeated visits even for the 3D sono. for about 3 weeks in a row the OB and sono tech said they were almost positive it was a boy. At 16 weeks, it was 100% girl.

My OB wont guess at 12 weeks, but will tell you for sure at 16 weeks. He said guesses at 12 weeks really arent certain because at that point, girl parts may actually be bigger than boy parts and can mislead you in your guess.

Boy / Girl

.....but he followed it by "don't go painting rooms just yet or anything" so I don't want to start telling people and then have to back track

I'm really not good at reading those sonos, but at one point, even IIIII saw Baby B's peesh, his legs wide open ..I yelped "OMG! That's a PENISSSSSSSS"...doc laughed and said yes, or it COULD be an enlarged labia (how dare he say such things about my angel! ) But the high risk made the same calls, so


I may or may not have a miniture penis growing inside me.....LOL

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

My doctor wouldn't even venture a guess that early. We didnt find out until my 20 week sono. But from what I heard, high risk doctors can usually tell what it is much sooner and still be accurate.

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

My doc said one was a boy for sure and guessed girl for the other at 14weeks.....confirmed it about 18weeks.

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

AMAZING!!!!

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

My doctor told me identical twin girls about the same time as you

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

ahh so exciting!!!

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

It would be awesome if they are right!!



I would imagine a they would misjudge a girl more than a boy if they missed something...so I'm sure you've got a penis going on in there.

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

Awww yay!

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

perfect combo

Re: Doctor gave a 85% gender guess at 12 weeks

Wrong with my third. They guessed at 12 weeks. It was definitely at 20. I had mentioned I already has 2 girls so that may have swayed them.
