We decided not to have it done. Good luck at your ultrasound and YAY for seeing your little one again!!!

I don't think that I am going to have it either, but good luck at yours! keep us updated!!

good luck!! its not IMPOSSIBLE to find out the gender at 12 weeks, but not very accurate. Fetal sex can be determined during a scan about 12 weeks. The determination is made by studying the angle between the genital 'bump' and the direction of the lower portion of the spine.

How accurate are routine first trimester scans for fetal gender determination.

Ultrasound gender study - Objective study to assess the accuracy of fetal gender determination at a routine first trimester scan for detailed assessment of anatomy and nuchal thickness measurement.

In the study the angle of the genital tubercle was used to assign fetal gender. At 11 weeks there was an error rate of 50% and only 14 of every 100 was assigned correct male gender. In the male fetuses after 12 weeks, there was a significant increase in the angle of the genital tubercle from the horizontal. The accuracy of sex determination increased with gestation.

We're not having it done. It wouldn't change the outcome, so we don't see the reason. We won't be getting any non-medically indicated u/s anyway (so I don't anticipate having any at all, same as with Ani and Fritz).

I'm getting mine done next week. Mostly because insurance will pay for it, and I don't care if my baby has Down's or not, but it's nice to know. Most of all, it's just an extra peek at the baby!

It's very unlikely to know the sex at the NT scan, but it does happen. I'd say to probably 1/10 in our office. Good luck, I hope you get lucky!!!
