gender @ 17w6d..?!!

[OctoberMommy2014]

so after our appointment yesterday, I'm even more anxious to know what our little pumpkin is going to be!!
he/she even had his/her legs closed.. so even IF we could have found out, it was next to impossible obviously.

my question is, my next OB appt. is on the 22nd & I'll be 17w6d.. IF the baby allows us to see, will the official boy or girl answer be set in stone?! has anyone gotten a definite boy or girl confirmation at almost 18 weeks, or should I not buy any pink or blue based on that ultrasound? if not, I know my next appointment will be 4 weeks later @ 21w6d, but geeeeez I don't want to wait that long! "/

thank you ladies for everything, please keep us in your prayers!!
come onnnn October!!! (((: ❤

I found out i was having a boy at 16 weeks and confimed it at 18 :)

well my OB hasn't said anything to me yet about whether or not to have a full bladder when I come in, but then again she doesn't have to.. she sees me with a bottle of water, OJ, or apple juice when I walk in so.. my bladder stay pretty full either way lol

@bebe5709: yeah, I was hoping 18 weeks would be good enough!! gosh, I'm praying.. and yes, my parents were surely surprised with my brother.. they didn't expect to be able to see anything on the ultrasound lol!

@kitty984: well that's good to know! considering I'll be 1 day shy of 18 weeks! & it definitely sounds like you have a sports fanatic in your belly already!!! lol

I think it's crazy everyone says they had to have full bladders. I never had to have a full bladder for any of my scans. It was always a comfortable experience.

Yep I was 18 wks with the first one. This time around I waited until 20 wks coz I wasn't sure if I wanted it to be a surprise but I was hoping for a girl and had my heart set on a girl but blessed with another boy who likes to do soccer, boxing and acrobatics inside.

I only had 1 scan and it was at 20 weeks. Anatomy and gender. I would think at 17 you would be able to see the gender fairly well as long as baby cooperates. My little guy let it all hang out so I would have been disappointed if I was going for a surprise baby lol.
