Thanks heaps for all your advice and support everyone. The scan's booked for this Thursday (!!!!) and I'm now thinking of telling mum and dad that if they want they can pop in at the end of the scan, once we've checked everythings okay, and hopefully discovered the gender and had our only little family moments. Then they can have a quick look at bub on the screen before we finish up. A win-win hopefully.

However, someone has just told me that with 3D scans, the baby's gender can sometimes be blatantly obvious, and if this is true, to keep this secret, perhaps I shouldn't invite them in after all!!!

So, can anyone tell me how obvious gender is likely to be on a 3D scan????

Thanks again!
