I am aware that most of the time this is usually done sometime between 16 and 22 weeks but is there a week that is best. I know sometimes if you go early, its less accurate, and later the baby doesn't have as much room or something. So when is the best.

Somewhere around week 18. But it's never a sure thing. You might have to check a few times before you can be reasonably sure of the baby's sex.

They recommend between 18 and 22 weeks for the sex scan. I had it done with #1 at 20 weeks and were able to see everything, but with #2 we had it done at 18 weeks and it was alittle bit harder. If you want a definate (which you can't get anyway, there is a 10% chance of mistake), then I would say go for the 22 week mark. This way everything is in place and might be easier to see.
Good Luck.

I had a sonogram done at 19 weeks and they were able to tell the sex of the baby...and it was pretty clear. I went and had a 3D sono done a few weeks ago (at 28 weeks) just for fun, and it confirmed that I was having a girl (there was no mistaking). If you're really curious you can do a 3D sono and they can tell you for sure. It won't cost as much if you get it done just to verify the sex (usually b/w 18 and 24 weeks). Plus its really fun!

any time after 16 weeks is best. Sometimes baby is in an awkward position and you just can't tell. Sooner is better though, because they have more space to move around freely, giving you more of a chance to see.

I got mine at 18 weeks and it was accurate. Of course, everyone says I have a blessed little boy, so I dunno if that had anything to do with it.
Everyone says that the best week is approximatly 20 weeks.
