When Did You Do Your Gender Determination?

[Bini]

I'm just getting anxious to know! And then yesterday, I had a moment where I was questioning if I really wanted to know or not. I'm in my 15th week of pregnancy now and I'm so very tempted to get an elective ultrasound (3D) for a gender determination. It's not too costly from what I'm understanding. Without the full keepsake package, you can do one ultrasound for about $50-$100. I'll keep you guys posted if I decide to do this in the next week or so :]

At birth I will find out. Maybe a month away for me. I don't do scans so I am very happy to wait.

It's a personal decision. I know that some women are concerned about getting them done. I've had this very discussion with my OB and she has said that an ultrasound will not hurt the baby. So I'm not against the routine ultrasounds that are done during gestation. But less than a month away for you? Wow, how exciting!


Update
Hubby and I did an elective ultrasound last night and despite my strong "motherly intuition" that convinced me it was definitely hands-down-a-boy, we learned at 17 weeks that we're actually having a girl :] Yay!!!

Congrats, Bini! While I'm sure a boy would have been great (in fact, we're hoping for one next), little girls are such a blast! ...Especially if you like dressing them up in pink. I do. My poor husband, lol. He's outnumbered at the moment and our house is full of girly stuff now.

Thanks :]


To be honest, not only was my hunch it was going to be a boy, I was really leaning towards wanting a boy over a girl. Haha. But now that the situation has changed, I'm stoked about being on team Pink! And yes, my husband will be outnumbered as well. I'd love to have one of each though, so my next pregnancy, fingers crossed that we swing Blue!

It was only last year that I figured out I was a boy. It had been bothering me for several decades. I recommend doing it sooner. 16 weeks sounds like a good number. I waited too long.

As soon as I looked down, I knew I was a boy. Kinda obvious.

You men! Lol


I should have known those were some of the responses I was gonna get.

NOT TEAM PINK!!!!!!!!!!! NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, c'mon... look at all the princess dresses! They're not all pink...

I like the wisteria lavender, canary blue, and canary yellow better than pink!

Girls are cool! They like shopping!
