1. no because the external sex organs do not develop untill around 15 weeks and even then it is hard to tell the differance between a boy and a girl.. there is no way wiht any accuracy untill around 18 weeks
2. you should wait, if you call the place they will tell you the best time frame. if you get the 4D done at 12 or 15 weeks the baby will still look all boney because they havent got any fat yet
3. Nope! Baby's not developed enough yet. You'll have to wait til around 17 weeks. That's when I found out what both of mine were.
4. MY Dr does it at 20 weeks.... but ya i think it can be done sooner at like 17.... there is an online blood test that can be done after 8 weeks if you have to find out now, but its expensive and you have to draw your own blood.
5. Not possible as the genitals are not developed at 12 weeks. I've heard of people taking gender tests but i am not so sure what they are...only other option is to wait until 18-21 weeks just like every other pregnant woman has to.
6. There is 4d ultrasound places in my area that does gender at 14 weeks I guess it depends on the tech and the machine My doctor said that the sex organs are there at 12 weeks it is a matter of being able to determine them I have heard so many on here say that it can't be determined before 17 18 weeks but if you do your own research on the web 12 week determination is like 90 percent accurate I think most people say 17 weeks because that is when doctors typically do it
