I have an ultrasound tomorow and I will be 17 6/7 weeks pregnant....so 1 days short of 18 weeks. Assuming the baby cooperates, can they tell the sex of the child this early?

It's totally possible. I found out at 14 weeks during both my pregnancies that I was having a boy. It is definitly easier to find out if it's a boy, rather than a girl. It also depend on the person doing the ultrasound. If they spend their time looking to see, than it's much more likely. Some doctor's will only pause for a moment to see. Also, technology is getting better all of the time, so don't underestimate the veiwing power. It is awesome. I love ultrasounds. It is amazing to see the little person inside of you. Good luck! :)

Yes that can tell the sex of the baby at this stage as long as the baby is laying the right way. Drink something with caffeine in it. I always drank a 24 ounce bottle of Pepsi before having the Ultra sounds done. I found out with all 3 of my babies.

Yes, the sex of the baby can be determined at the end of the first trimester.
That said, it'll depend on the position of the baby and if they can get a good look. But things are developped enough to see.
Good luck :)

You bet. You could have told what baby is a couple of weeks ago. Most ultrasounds are done between 15 and 20 weeks.

Yes you should be able to tell if baby is in the right position. However, I wouldn't be drining a lot of sugar and caffiene as has been suggested because you don't want him/her moving around TOO much. if they are the tech may not be able to get a good view. Wait and see then if not in the right position they may ask you to drink something to get them moving a little.

You may very well be able to tell the baby's sex. Usually you can tell as early as 16 weeks. Good luck!

it truly is amazingly attainable. i got here upon out at 14 weeks in the course of both my pregnancies that i grew to change into into having a boy. it truly is definitly more beneficial uncomplicated to substantiate if it truly is a boy, fairly than a lady. It also anticipate the guy doing the ultrasound. in the adventure that they spend their time searching to substantiate, than it truly is plenty more beneficial possibly. some medical professional's will truly pause for a second to substantiate. also, technologies is getting more beneficial proper consistently, so do no longer underestimate the veiwing potential. it truly is astounding. i love ultrasounds. it truly is magnificent to substantiate the little man or woman interior of you. solid fulfillment! :)

SURE THEY CAN. GENDER CAN BE DETECTED AS EARLY AS 14 WEEKS, BUT GENERALLY THEY TEND TO WAIT UNITL WEEK 18 TO MAKE A MORE DEFINITE ASSUMPTION. I WAS ABLE TO TELL I WAS HAVING A BOY RIGHT AT 18 WEEKS. THE CLINCHER IS IF THE BABY WANTS YOU TO KNOW OR NOT!!! GOOD LUCK!

Yes, you may be able to tell if the viewing angle is really good. Some people want to be surprised which I think adds to the experience, so think it over b4 you ask.
