Dating scan gender confusion

[Emmaknightley]

Hi I just remembered I had a scan at 10 weeks 1 day.

Might show some sort of nub? Or maybe too early.

I won’t get my hopes up though because I know it’s probably too early to tell.



What’s your thoughts about doing a 16 week scan. Some places are providing private gender scan at 16 weeks and I don’t know how accurate they are? Or should I just wait for 18 weeks.

Thanks for all your help.

10 weeks is too early for nub guesses because boys and girls look the same. Around 13 weeks is best. As for a gender scan, 16 weeks is probably the earliest anyone should get one. Personally, I had one with DS2 at 16 weeks and everyone here guessed girl based on the potty shot (you can find the post I made about by looking at my post history). It really got my hopes up. If you think you can wait a couple weeks more and do it at 18 weeks then do that but if you're really antsy and want to do it sooner then you can. I'd get a few different potty shots to be more certain.

Yep sorry, it's too early then. Boys and girls have identical bits at that stage of gestation.

I agree with ks mom. Just wait. That way you'll know for sure and won't have any chance of having your hopes raised and then dashed.

Hi,

Ok I’d rather not get my hopes up, because I think that would hurt more if they tell me it’s a girl and then it isn’t.

I shall just wait until 20 weeks and hopefully it will be more accurate then.

Thanks for all the advice!

I know it's a hard wait but the truth is there is NOTHING so devastating as people who are told one thing only to find out the opposite. FX for pink for you!
