Baby Boy Gender Scan 16 Weeks

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.

Baby boy gender scan 16 weeks.

By 16 weeks all of the parts of your boy fetus are formed. In these situations you may actually be sixteen weeks or more at the time of your first ultrasound. 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. An ultrasound technician could see your baby s gender as early as 15 16 weeks but most women will find out during their second trimester ultrasound.

At this point it is too late to do the early risk assessment testing. 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. In all four of my pregnancies gender was very clear by 16 17 weeks. There is also the angle of the dangle theory.

This was our ultrasound when we found out the gender of our baby. 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. If it s 30 degrees or under then you likely have a girl. Between weeks 18 and 20 a trained sonographer will perform a detailed anatomy scan called a level 2 ultrasound.
