Gender prediction?
I know it’s super early but I found this place who tells you the sex of the baby as early as 12 weeks she said the 12 week is when the baby’s genitals become different. She said she was 97% confident it was a girl but said she would be 100% if I was 16 weeks. People come from all over to see this specialist to find out the gender! I also did sneak peek at 9w6d and it came back girl as well. Should I tell the world we are finally having a girl after three boys? Or should I keep waiting?

I already talked to Pritchett about this privately but just for anyone reading this, you cannot tell a baby's gender 97% accurately at 12 weeks, nor is potty shot accurate at this gestation.
Here's why. All babies start off looking exactly like girls, with the exact same "bits." This is because the Y chromosome is dormant and does not make any testosterone. In the 10th week, the Y chromosome "wakes up" and starts making testosterone. This makes things that were exactly like girl parts, grow and turn into boy parts in boys. The clitoris becomes a penis, the ovaries become testicles, the skin where the vulva/vagina would have been turns into the outside of the testicles. This doesn't happen overnight and so there is a period of time where babies that are going to be boys look like girls and a period of time where they're sort of in between and it's not clear either way. We have seen hundreds of people told things like "97% girl" by all sorts of people who claim to be experts - even sometimes into the 13th week - who end up finding out later on that they're having a boy and they're heartbroken. I myself have seen 3 different people who at the end of the 13th week (not the beginning of the 12 week, the end of the 13th!) who I would have sworn were having girls.
Nubs that look completely and totally girly at the beginning of the 12th week can and do rise, and it's not a rare occurrance either. You can have some boys who are already letting it all hang out at that point, but a LOT of other ones the nub has not risen at that point and will in a few days' or a weeks' time.
So while it's always great to go into an ultrasound and not see a peener if you're hoping for pink, guard your heart and be careful about getting told things that are too good to be true. The odds are that this is a girl, but it's not a guarantee just yet and I don't want anyone being told things like this by well-meaning techs without hearing the truth of the matter.
Good luck!!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

I agree about the nub stuff. However, I’ve read that if there’s nothing between the legs in a potty shot, even as early as 12 weeks, there’s not going to be anything there either. The other way around however does happen. A girl with protrusion that still has to disappear. So she might be mistaken for a boy.
