Question 1

how accurate is a gender scan at 20 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Depends on variables: In the hands of a well trained technician and with the cooperation of the kid, it is relatively good. However, I have had parents decorate a nursery based on a "girl"  scan  and face a surprise when a boy came out.

Question 2

how accurate are 12 week ultrasounds with gender? they were incorrect with my last child so just want to know if they are most likely wrong again?

Accepted Answer

Not very accurate: The accuracy will vary depending on the experience of the sonographer and the ability to locate the genital area on ultrasound. In one study: at 12 weeks, when the genital area was successfully visualized, gender identification was correct 92% of the time. At 13 weeks it was correct 98% of the time. **In this study a very experienced physician, not a technician, did the studies.

Question 3

how accurate is a 16 week gender ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Quite accurate: By 12 weeks, the fetus is fully formed. All its organs, muscles, limbs and bones are in place, and the sex organs are well developed. So 16 week gender ultrasound is quite accurate. Congratulations and all the best

Question 4

is week 11 transvaginal gender ultrasound accurate?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Gender body parts can be reliably seen starting at 19-20 weeks.

Question 5

at what month is the most accurate to know my baby's gender?i am now at my 15wks.pls advise.thanks!

Accepted Answer

The older the better: As the baby grows you can see things better just because they are bigger. The farther along you are, the more certain  they can be.

Question 6

are baby gender ultrasounds accurate? is there any chance that an ultrasound showing my baby's gender is wrong? i'd hate to completely prepare for a b?

Accepted Answer

Nothing is 100%!: Fetal ultrasounds are generally accurate when predicting a baby's gender but there are times when it is not correct.  Best to be surprised anyway!

Question 7

how accurate is an ultrasound at 18 weeks 5 days in determining gender?  we had 2 different techs; one told us girl and the other said it was a boy.

Accepted Answer

Can be difficult: I would not pick out gender specific clothes or decorations for the nursery.  Sometimes it is very easy to see the "important bits", and other times, usually related to the position of the fetus, it can be very hard.

Question 8

can ultrasound give us accurate baby gender report within 12 weeks of pregnancy, or any error could be possible? kindly explain me

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: 12 weeks is little early but sometimes the gender can be seen. It really depends on the technician, the quality of the sonogram machine and the position of the baby. You can discuss the specifics with your doctor who ordered your sonogram. IF there is uncertainty you may want to repeat it when the baby is a little further along

Question 9

can ultrasound give us accurate baby gender report within 12 weeks of pregnancy, or any error margin could be possible? 
kindly explain me

Accepted Answer

Same answer: The answer is the same as the previous version of this question. Sometimes it is possible to see gender this early and sometimes not. It depends on the skill of the sonographer, the quality of the machine and the position of the baby. Often with early sonograms the recommendation is to repeat it later on when the genitalia can be seen easier.

Question 10

how accurate is ultrasound done at 20 weeks for gender determination of fetus. is obstretics ultrasound with same accuracy. same question for 22 wks?

Accepted Answer

Mostly accurate: Ultrasounds at that point in your pregnancy is generally accurate.  Remember, however, that the presence of a penis to diagnose a male is generally easier than the lack of one to diagnose a female.  As one of my teachers once observed, "some boys are shy".
