I thought it was a girl at first because i saw lines down there p i guess it was just his little toes lol we were so surprised and.
Baby boy gender scan 16 weeks.
At this point it is too late to do the early risk assessment testing.
If it s 30 degrees or under then you likely have a girl.
Between 12 and 15 weeks when looking at a side view on the ultrasound if the dangly middle part is at a 30 degree angle or greater with the spine your baby is likely a boy.
It is normally possible to tell the gender from a scan after 16 weeks sometimes earlier at 12 weeks if the nub theory is used.
But the technician will take measurements of your fetus that will help establish or confirm your due date.
But of course many little babies are not accommodating and don t let the sonographer have a good enough look to see if they are a boy or a girl.
It is at this time that the sonographer will measure the size of your baby check the major organs measure the level of amniotic fluid to make sure that it s right and check the position of the placenta.
Between weeks 18 and 20 a trained sonographer will perform a detailed anatomy scan called a level 2 ultrasound.
This was our ultrasound when we found out the gender of our baby.
In these situations you may actually be sixteen weeks or more at the time of your first ultrasound.
By 16 weeks all of the parts of your boy fetus are formed.
Final note it s normal to want to know your baby s sex but having a healthy mom and a healthy baby are always more important.
