Is ultrasound scanning accurate enough to reveal a baby's sex at 17 weeks?

if they can see anything it would be very accurate, the problem is at this point the baby is usually in the head down fetal position and there is not alot of room in there to move around and being able to see anything at all in that area can be difficult, i had an ultrasound at 32 weeks and the tech said i could offer her all the money in the world and she wouldn't be able to tell the sex at this point (i already knew at 20 weeks, its a boy)
good luck maybe you're still in a position you can see

∙ 6y agoAn ultrasound scan at week 16 is most probably accurate compared to earlier scans. This is because even at week 15, the baby has already formed its organs and certain body parts. That is why at week 15 or 16, you can already have your baby's gender checked.
In fact, you can even make that check up at week 16 more memorable. You can opt for a center where you can have a 4d baby scan of your unborn child. Then, you can get two photos of your baby's scans plus a filmed record of the ultrasound itself in a DVD.
There's also a package with a disc and another with both DVD and USB. That way, you can say that the gender check is worth it!

∙ 15y agothey normally wait until 20 weeks, so I don't know how accurate it would be at 17 weeks. I would suggest getting another scan at 25 weeks if you get one at 17 weeks
