I just had my anatomy scan at 17w4d. Baby is wonderfully healthy and everything was perfect. The gentleman that did the scan noted that he was not as good as his wife (another u/s tech) at determining gender, but he would give it a go. He said that at 17w4d it still may not be blindingly obvious. Baby was breech so we didnt get a great shot. He "thought" he saw a scrotum once. Then he saw what he kept saying was a "little triangle" that he believed was the penis. At the end he said "if he had to make a call, it would be boy". But he didn't sound sure. The next day we had both sides of our entire families coming and were planning the big baby announce/sex annouce in an event my 10yo planned. Well we just didnt feel good about his call. In a fit of pregnancy insanity I called the independent u/s place here that does those 3D sonos. I asked if they could scrap the 3D and just do a 5 min sex determination check. They said sure, got us in the next morning, halved the fee and took a look. The lady there said the opposite...but 17w4d it should be really obvious...she didnt ever see the girl parts (we had 3 distinct lines with DD1 and DD2) but the "lack of boy parts" ended up with her calling girl. She seemed pretty confident with her assesment.
I wish we had just waited to birth, as DH and I were both totally fine with another girl. Once we got a boy read the first time, we both were more excited than we thought. The second girl read left us a little deflated.
We wont have anymore sonos and will be just tickled with our new baby. But now the whole thing is playing with our heads.
Anyone had a sono just shy of 18 weeks and had it be a boy but didnt get a blindingly obvious shot? What are the rules on when you should be able to see everything with ease?
