Finding out GENDER

I was just wondering how many of you found out what you were having around week 20 or before by a plain old 2D ultrasound?  Was it easy for the technician to see the goods?  LOL  Thanks for any input.  I have one scheduled for March 13th and I will be 20 weeks.............I have to pay for it out of my own pocket so I want it to be good timing:)

At 13 weeks, the u/s technician hinted that it was a boy. She said "So you're having a boy it looks like?" I said "I don't know, am I?" She told me she wasn't allowed to tell me but she smiled and winked. at 17 weeks, I got it confirmed that he is indeed a boy! We got great pics!

I had a u/s at 20 weeks and didn't find out the gender but asked the technician if he knew and he laughed and said he always knows. We had to turn our heads away several times during the u/s...

If I remember, I was 17wks....I have a very good sonographer. He is rarely ever wrong. He works at the hospital full time and 2 days a week at my Drs office. I'll be having another u/s this thurs. Just for my sanity, I will be asking him to double check. He was right about my last born 2 1/2 yrs ago.

I had one done at 18 weeks and it was very obvious to see it was a girl. If baby is coaporating you should be able to tell.
