I'm 8 weeks pregnant now and I go to the doctor on December 14th. Will the doctor be able to tell if it's a boy or girl that day or will it still be to early to tell?

It's too early, sometimes the way the baby is placed in the womb, it just may take a while before you'll know which sex your baby is. Either way, I hope that your baby is healthy, and that you have a problem free pregnancy. Best of luck in the future.

Too early to tell, and unless you have irregular periods or have problems the doctor may not even to an ultrasound. You will have an ultrasound (for sure) around 20 weeks to check things like the organs, heart, spine, size and that's when they will usually also tell you the gender if they can see. Some women who have ultrasounds around 14-16 weeks can find out too, but not really any earlier than that. Plus, remember even at 20 weeks....babies don't always cooperate! My daughter was laying face in with her legs crossed and the Tech tried everything! They moved me onto sides, had me sit up, they stimulated her.....and she would not move or turn around. We didn't get to found out!

Oh no. That's WAY to early. You can't really tell until about week 18. If you are having a boy, you *might* be able to tell sooner, but week 18 is usually when they will start looking.
I found out at 18 weeks exactly, and I'm having one boy and one girl. It was pretty obvious at that point. Also, you don't want to get a false result because you checked too early.

Too early. Even if you had an ultrasound - The babies genitals are not visible on the outside yet. They are developing on the inside, but you wouldnt be able to tell by looking at it.
Sorry! Just be patient. I find out December 13th and I cant wait!!
Good Luck and Congrats!

way to soon they tell by ultrasound and at 8 weeks they can see the heartbeat and that's it around 18 - 24 weeks is best you will have to wait I had 3 ultrasounds and not one of them could tell the sex of my baby I am 1 week over due and scheduled for an induction on Saturday and won't know what the sex is until than it honestly is more exciting not to know I am so glad that it is going to a surprise.

still too early. They can't tell until 17-20 weeks w/ an ultrasound. Congratulation on the impeding baby!!!

Nah thats quite a bit too early, I think around 20 weeks or so they can tell. And that is with a cooperative baby.

Everything is formed by 13 weeks, so they should be able to tell the sex at 14 weeks. It might still be a little to early to tell at your next appointment.
