How far along do you have to be before you
are abe to tell the sex of the baby?
Like, what is the absolute earliest age
you can tell? Thanks for any answers!!

I wouldn't trust it before 16 weeks.
18-22 is most accurate.
Why do you ask?

Um at 16 and some days weeks he gave me a
70 percent chance... And he sounded
pretty sure.
It's not enough to go by though so i'ld
almost definiatly think anything before 17
weeks can't be reliable, or atleast not
enough to paint the nursery pink or blue.

Well all you nosey rosey's....If you must
know, my not so good friend is all the
sudden wanting to hang out and everything
again (she had an abortion nearly 6 mos
ago, so I kinda cut all contact to her)
and she's now about 12/13ish weeks along
and claiming her Dr. Told her she's
having a girl. And I was just curious to
see if they can even tell that early.
Sorry girls, i'm not pregnant lol!!!

I think i've read that the genitals just
start forming around 12 weeks (i could be
wrong though). There is no way a doctor
would have told her the sex so early.
Like tanya said, even at 16 weeks they're
not going to be 100%.

mistaken...And then I shall give it
another whirl!

Gender can be detected earlier than
through ultrasound by amniocentesis...
Though she can't play that card since
early tests are done at 13 weeks (and you
said by 12 weeks she was saying she was
having a girl) and most standard tests
between 15 and 20 weeks.
I think your friend is fibbing.

she said she had an u/s. Why she had an
u/s this early is beyond me, because here
in the .U.S we (normally) only get 1 done,
and that's around 20 some odd weeks or so.
So i'm pretty sure she's just tryin' to
become friends again. So I agree, I think
she's fibbing. I hate fibbers.

It really is none of my business but why
would someone have an abortion and then
get pregnant 3 months later and decide to
have the baby?
Perhaps she figured she had a 50/50 chance
of guessing right so she just decided to
tell you it's a girl. Maybe the joke will
be on her and it'll turn out she's having
a boy.

Yeah, I was almost 16 weeks and they told
me it was a girl. (a girl at the hospital
who knows my husband did that one) then my
doctor ordered my "official" scan and they
also said it was a girl (@ 18 weeks).

I found out at 20-something weeks.. But I
could have found out at 16 weeks if they
would tell you in this towns hospital but
they dont.. And I was told that it was a
boy from two differnt doctors from a
ultrasound, and a differnt doctor from my
amnio I had done said it was a boy too..
So 100% boy.. But yeah, I think your
friend is lying to you... Most people
dont have a ultrasound done until atleast
`16 weeks for due dates.. Did you ask her
when shes due?
