I am extremely high risk also because I delivered my previous at 24 weeks and I have a short cervix. I'm 11 weeks & crossing my fingers to find out the gender in the next 2 weeks

My doc is doin my gender check at 20weeks. Im high risk due to diabetes also and everythig has been normal for me and baby. Just take care of yourself and baby and be worry free. The worst thing for you to do is not take care of the diabetes. Other than that you should be fine

I am high risk to. I found out what i was having at 17 weeks.  And I am 35 weeks and 4 days. At my last uterlsound I had when I was 33 weeks I had them check again to make sure that they where right when they told me at 17 weeks and it is a girl.

i haven't had her yet I'm 27 weeks tomorrow lol. but they did a view of her butt area and said they couldn't see anything at all even if it was a boy something will be there. but I'm going with girl because i just feel she is. in the ultrasounds she has my nose. so cute. and I'm going to try to pay for an ultrasound to confirm before she gets here. either way i will be happy if its a he or she as long as babys healthy in my arms i'll be a proud mama. but i only have a girl name lol

Thank you! So since they said 70% chance a girl, did you end up having a girl?

They might try and see if they can tell what it is if you'll be 15 weeks :) but you might have to reschedule cuz baby might not be in good position to show his/her goods lol so if I were you drink something sweet like orange juice 45 mins or so before your ultrasound to get baby active :)
