gender scan

Hi ladies. I had an ultrasound today to see the sex of my baby my husband and are were so excited but I wasn't even in there for 5 minutes and he said because im not 20 weeks its too small to tell... he didn't even try! Im 18weeks tomorrow and my family and friends all went in and found out about 18weeks so I was so upset as they wouldn't even try it was like he was just too tired and couldn't be bothered working today.  I didn't complain but now I wish I did and asked to see another dr. Im making an appointment to see another dr and get another scan somewhere else. Im in nsw in Australia just wondering if any other ladies has been told that? :/

I found out with both of mine at 17 weeks. Here in the UK you can book a private gender scan from 16 weeks!

I'm 16 weeks and find out in 4 days, when they gave me the option to test for downs syndrome and other birth defects they also gave me the option to find out the sex threw the blood test. I also have my first ultrasound at 18 weeks.

You can definitely find out at 18 weeks. The scan is supposed to be 18-20 weeks so he definitely should've been able to tell you or at least try. I would've been furious

I found out at 15 weeks. As long as your child is cooperating you can find out.
