Disappointed at Ultrasound. :(

At my 19 week ultra sound i didn't get to find  out the gender cause my babies legs weres closed. I'm so disappointed. Is their any specific way of telling weather your having a boy or girl??

there's no way to tell.
My baby girls legs were closed every single ultrasound lol
I had to book a 3D ultrasound to find out.

Your ob can tell you by your blood work at 19 weeks!

Dedekurd, you wouldn't necessarily be able to tell at 16 weeks which is why most Dr's won't determine gender via ultrasound that early. The genetalia still aren't fully developed and one can easily look like the other.

They gave me the option of doing the blood work. They said usually its only for pregnancies that might be at high risk of something but my doctor said he would give it if I wanted it. Found out its a girl. But I was only like 16 weeks. Now I'm 25

Its so frustrating i live in norway i dont get another ultrasound tell my last weeks. I have to pay for a private one. Its so expensive. I had one 16 weeks as well but it didn't show clearly so im assuming its a girl sense a boys package would clearly show by then.. right???

Same with mine. The lady couldn't tell plus she was so effing rude!! The whole experience sucked! But my doctor looked on a small ultrasound machine and she thinks we're having a GIRL

The only way is through an ultrasound but dont feel bad my baby was being stubborn the first time my doc tried and at the anatomy scan was being completely uncopertive so at 33 weeks still not sure.  You still have anatomy scan to look forward to good luck though hope you get to find out
