How reliable are ultrasounds in detecting sex of baby?

Question

I'm supposed to have a sono at 16 weeks. Doctor said we will be able to find out the sex at that time.

Answer 1

I have 5 kids. They got 4 right. I had 4 boys and then I had a girl. They told me that my 3rd was a girl but turned out to be a boy.It really depends on how the baby is positioned.

Answer 2

Depends on how ur baby is positioned. They gave me an ultrasound around 16 weeks and said it looked like a boy. Then another around 20 weeks and it appeared to be a girl, although i had genetic testing done and had already known it was a girl since i was 11 weeks. So the second time around was right. Although on 4D sonograms u can clearly tell what gender.

Answer 3

Very reliable unless the baby doesn't cooperate then its hard to be accurate. I had my first ultrasound at 17 weeks and was told I was having a boy. Last week I went in for my second ultrasound at 28 weeks and had it confirmed again that I'm having boy. Good luck!

Answer 4

well you may be able to see the sex, but it is not as accurate as having it later in the pregnancy. You should be having another sono, if for some reason you will only be having one ( some insurance carriers only allow one) then you should wait until later to have your sono. It will be more accurate. I believe about your fifth to six month. Good Luck! Congrats

Answer 5

Only if the baby is in the right position for the ultrasound to show the sex

Answer 6

hiya i found out at 17 weeks that hes a boy but saying that its easier to tell boys from girls,
i reckon as long as your baby is positioned good that you ll be able to see, it also depends on the experience of the technician doing the scan.
good luck x x x x
