i turned 18 weeks today and tomorrow im going for my ultrasound to mesure the baby's body parts. Can they detect the baby's genitals? Is it fully developed?

Yes, they should be able to tell the sex. Typically between 9 and 12 weeks the genitals are differentiated and by about 16 weeks--sometimes even less, the sex of the fetus can be seen on ultrasound.

Oh yes if the baby is in the right position a baby is the sex that is by the time you are 14 weeks pregnant maybe sooner but I advise you to by the best book ever what to expect when you are expecting congratulations and good luck

I went in for my ultrasound @ 18 wks 3 days. I asked if I could "guess" by looking myself, first. It was obvious! He is all boy. So, yes. It is detectable! I'm excited for you! Boy's parts look like a turtle, Girl's parts have 3 solid white striaght lines. See if you can tell before the doc does. I loved it!

If they can't tell the sex of the baby at the appointment tomorrow then they definately will be able to at the next on depending on the baby's position (sometimes they can be alittle shy) Go to webMD.com and they have a pregnancy calander that can help you track your baby's progress. Good luck and CONGRATS!!!!!!!!

they will be able to tell. i founded out at 18 wks if you can take a piece of candy along with you or a small snack to get the baby moving around so it won't be so hard for the dr. to see i hope u get what u'r heart desires but remberthat as long as the baby is healthy that is what really matters

They may be able to see gender. Easier to see after about 21 weeks. Check out babycenter.com. It gives week by week development and pictures.

Yes they can but sometimes they can not tell until 20 weeks and above, But keep your fingers crossed and maybe you can find out if it a boy or a girl, congrats and good luck, keep as posted and tell us if you find out.

They should be able to tell the sex now. Our hospital wont tell you, so we are waiting to see an OBGYN that has an U/S machine in his office. Hopefully we will get in and get to find out. Good Luck, Congratulations.
