When can you find out gender?

We don't want to know the baby's sex... but I do want to know if they're healthy (anxious first time mom after a miscarriage)-- when does GWU MFA do the NIPT? I am scheduled for a viability ultrasound at 10.5 weeks and another ultrasound at 12 weeks but they haven't mentioned bloodwork. I do have a "virtual" appointment with their genetic counselor-- does she then send me in for labwork after?

Yes, the counselor will send you for blood work after that.

I don’t recommend sneak peak! I did it at 9 weeks and it told me girl. Well our NIPT came back at 13 weeks and surprise..boy.
