Baby Boy Gender Scan 16 Weeks

In all four of my pregnancies gender was very clear by 16 17 weeks.

Baby boy gender scan 16 weeks.

But the technician will take measurements of your fetus that will help establish or confirm your due date. Between weeks 18 and 20 a trained sonographer will perform a detailed anatomy scan called a level 2 ultrasound. This was our ultrasound when we found out the gender of our baby. I thought it was a girl at first because i saw lines down there p i guess it was just his little toes lol we were so surprised and.

It is normally possible to tell the gender from a scan after 16 weeks sometimes earlier at 12 weeks if the nub theory is used. But of course many little babies are not accommodating and don t let the sonographer have a good enough look to see if they are a boy or a girl. An ultrasound technician could see your baby s gender as early as 15 16 weeks but most women will find out during their second trimester ultrasound. There is also the angle of the dangle theory.

By 16 weeks all of the parts of your boy fetus are formed. Final note it s normal to want to know your baby s sex but having a healthy mom and a healthy baby are always more important. Between 12 and 15 weeks when looking at a side view on the ultrasound if the dangly middle part is at a 30 degree angle or greater with the spine your baby is likely a boy. It is at this time that the sonographer will measure the size of your baby check the major organs measure the level of amniotic fluid to make sure that it s right and check the position of the placenta.
