Why not to have a Gender Scan in the 14th week....

So, unless you tech is obsessed with gender, and really really knows what they are looking for (ie ME), I always recommend to NOT get a gender scan in the 14th week. Even early 15th week can be trouble!

Here are some pics of my lump, to see the range of images all taken from the same baby, the same day. 14w4d. Babe is measuring 15wk though.

 Wow, I do see how you can be thrown off by certain shots!  I can see being told both boy or girl depending at what angle or shot you're looking at.

Congrats again on little "Miss Kitty"

GL & best wishes

Congratulations on your little Miss Kitty.

all the photos looks girly. You just have to look closely and make sure you choose a tech with a lot of experience like CC :)

I was able to find out my baby was a girl at 14 weeks. I alo had a very good tech who is right over 90% of the time :) 

 

CONGRATS ON YOUR BABY GIRL CC.

I agree with that! Was told Girl at 16wks and now boy at 17-its a shock i could have done without...needless to say *if* there is a next one we won't find out till our 18wk! SO happy for your little GIRL though CC! ;)

Miss Kitty, LOL! Thanks for posting this, Charliecats. My obsessed husband and the obsessed techs (lol) at the imaging center he works at were like, "LET'S SCAN YOU!" yesterday. As you know, we are the same due date. Well, one minute she was like, "OMG, that's SO a boy!". Then she was like, "wait.. wait... not sure and would get a very "miss kitty" shot as well. As you can imagine I'm frustrated and just want NO MORE SCANS until twenty weeks. FEH! I've run the gamut of emotions this last day. I wish I had never been scanned, especially by someone who is not a full time OB sonographer. She got good pics, but I really didn't feel she knew what she was really looking at. It was so weird...

Congratulations on your little girl. I am so excited for you and I although I don't know you I feel as though I do through these boards.
