hi samie, they normally say they cant tell until 20wks as that is when it bits are developed.

how strange is that i just learnt a few things off that web page lol
and it says as well that his or her sex can be identified as early as the 16th to 18th week of your pregnancy.

hey :) i had my 4d scan at exactly 16 weeks and it was very clear and we found out we were having a boy (hes 8 months now) my partner was adament he already knew because he saw his bits at the 12 week scan! if u want to find out just postpone ur scan for another week :)
just be prepared coz baby will still be really skinny at that stage coz they develop organs n stuff before they put fat on n get chubby faces xx

helloo yeah they do say u can actually tell at 12 weeks and on a survey they did like 60% or something close to that actually got the sex right but they refuse to tell u so early on, ill be 15 weeks 3 days, i get really paranoid so ill be just happy if baby is all well would love a girl tho :) got a 2 year old boy, and yeah iv heard that about the baby not having much fat yet would you recommend having the 4d scan that early on? there both the same price so I can just say when i get there xx

hi i had a private gender scan at exactly 16 weeks. 20wks scan is nhs standards, a trained sonographer can defo tell the sex before that tho.

i booked with baby bond the earliest they would do a gender scan is 16 weeks. good luck. xx

yeah i cant wait till 22 weeks 2 no everything is ok, think coz i had a still birth b4 i extra worry about everything and i have a fear of getting my hopes up if that makes sense, so i will be having the 15 week scan any ways just the 2d at 4d are the same price at this stage so didn't no wat 1 to go for, leila did they tell u the sex of the baby at 16 weeks and was it a 4d scan? xx thanks for your replys ladys :) much appreciated xxxx

Hi yes they told me i was having a girl. but it wasn't a 4d scan, just a gender scan. 90quid. thou she did flash the 44inch screen to 4d, and also gave me two still images from 4d as a taster. and at the end she said i hope you will come again. But sadly we really cant afford it.

if you can afford it id say go for it.

It was a really great service, spacious and not rushed. i was in there with hubby and todler for about 20-25 mins.
