i had my gender determination at 17.5 weeks and the tech said, "i don't see any boy parts so looks like a girl." i lost sleep over the possibility that they could be wrong because i have heard some stories.... at my next u/s, i made them double check and asked if they could specifically point out the labia (i've read that "not seeing boy parts" isn't a good prediction). sure enough, still a girl! thank goodness since she has a pink nursery and a closet full of dresses!!! at your next u/s, ask them if they can actually see the labia. good luck :-)
Thanks, Brit...we have an appt with a local ultrasound place next week. Maybe we'll be able to see things a little more clearly then and know for sure about the sex.
I'll be 16 1/2 weeks at that point, so here's hoping!
I had an u/s at 14 wks 1 day and was told that its was a girl. When i had my next u/s at 19 wks it was indeed a little girl so it depends on if the tech got a good look and the tech that did mine said that the boys dont start to drop until the 14th week.
Yeah, that's what I figured! I told her I wasn't going to go home and paint the nursery or anything, but I guess I was just hoping that things would look a little more promising for the "girl"! LOL
I'm really hoping for a girl this time since it will be my last, but honestly I don't care as much as I did in the beginning. Another boy sounds nice, too. I already have clothes and stuff for a boy which would save me tons of money. I think I want a girl for my grandma more than anything, because all she has is 5 great grandsons! The first thing she says when someone is pregnant is "I hope it's a girl...I want a great grand-daughter!
(Plus, she sewed a quilt YEARS ago specifically for her first g-grand daughter...and I really want that quilt! ;-)
Thanks for the input!
it's 50/50 - if they saw boy parts i would be more inclined to say it was for sure - but girls parts can be mistaken easier!!
i would definitely wait to go shopping - sorry!!
I wish I could say girl 100% but given that the baby was being difficult and that it's still really early to tell I am gonna say 50% chance...lol.
Good luck, maybe the level II ultrasound would be more promising. You only have 5 more weeks to go. ACK!!!
