The wait is driving me insane....

If you have one of the newer blood tests you can find out sooner. It is more reliable to wait till 13th week for a nub scan and even that is not set in stone at all. 18-20 weeks for gender scan you can believe in!

It is not common procedure as most doctors dont want to tell you at 12 weeks but a friend knew at 12 weeks and after doing some research i found that ob/sonographer and although i have to travel 30min it qill be worth it as im not patient and couldnt wait 20weeks...

That is because it is not reliable at 12 weeks!! There are tons of people who were told the WRONG gender at their 12 week ultrasound (and it is almost always peopel having boys being told wrongly girl) and it is extremely heartbreaking to get your hopes up and then find out that you're actually having an opposite. Seriously, imagine finding that out in the delivery room - it is very difficult for people to get over it and at least one woman had a complete breakdown in the delivery room after finding out that BG twins were BB twins.

EVERYONE please remember that scans before 18-20 week range are not reliable and on rare occasions even the later scans have been wrong. Always keep it in the back of your mind. It's much better to wait a week or even 6 weeks than to set yourself up for huge heartbreak.

I know someone who was told girl at 20 week scan then had a growth scan at 32 weeks to be told boy!!!! I had a sexing scan at 16 weeks and then confirmed at 20 only then did I feel relaxed it was correct as I seen twice for myself. i know it's hard not to completely obsess I literally lived on google but how ever much u spend time thinking researching etc your baby is already boy/girl. Try to keep yourself busy and not think to much. Good luck xx

I agree ive never heard of gender scan for 12 week mark its just too early. Even 18-20wk mistakes can still be made. I always got them to show me at 18-20 and sure enough you could tell lol

At 9 weeks you can do the panorama test with natera, just a quick blood draw and they test the fetal DNA that's in your blood. Maternit21 is another. I did panorama with my son when I was 9 weeks, we got the results back in 7ish business days. I think some insurance companies are even covering it these days (mine did).

Ok maybe different in Australia. Would likely need to pay for it aswell.

Thank you! It is good to remind myself the gender is already set in stone so no point wishing away.
