HOW DO YOU DO GENDER AT 16 WEEKS?

When doing a gender verification ultrasound we start at 16 weeks while others start at 18 weeks. A medical sonogram is usually done between 18-20 weeks. The sonographer will have a lot to look at so if baby is not cooperative she will usually continue the exam.

At Little Bo Peep we use top of the line ultrasound machine- The GE Voluson 730.
This enables us to see the gender clearly at 16 weeks. Our sonographers only job is to find out your baby's gender. When someone is paid to do that they've got all the motivation in the world! Very unoften we get an unusually stubborn baby for eg. if baby is in breech position with its but deep in mom's pelvis, it is more difficult to see the gender.

We do try our best at little bo peep to see the gender. If baby is uncooperative we'll have mom jump up and down a little bit, give her chocolate (sugar rush for baby) or have mom go to the bathroom. This usually works 97% of the time.

As a bonus, we put 3D ultrasound on during your gender verification ultrasound so that you can see a more realistic view of your baby
