Non medical/gender scans - did you have one?

[peanutter]

I had oodles of scans - one at every single appointment, basically - with DS2 because of the issues faced while birthing DS1. I didn't get pictures at each of them, and they were all the usual black and white jobbies (not the 4D ones).

It was nice and reassuring and all the rest of it, but it was only because of the issues first time around.

They were just at the hospital, with the Ob.

Had a 4D scan with both my boys in the 3rd trimester, we loved it

Thanks for all your replies They switched over to 3d at my NT scan, so I've seen that bubs is still skin & bones. It was still awesome to see the extra detail/different images! I had a scan yesterday to check my subchorionic bleed and I asked if they would be able to see the gender, but bubs had his/her legs closed. It's made me even more impatient to find out now! lol.

My main worry is having an experience like yours, Aimz. I can totally understand it would have been distressing

I'm currently pregnant with twins, we had a scan at 16 weeks and were told that we were having 2 boys. It was only a 2d scan, but I think they were still too small to get a good clear indication. Then at the morph scan we were told that we had 1 boy & 1 girl. It was so much clearer to see the gender at 20 weeks. Needless to say I was desperate for confirmation that they were boy & girl, so I had a 4d private scan done. Costly yes, but we already have 2 boys so I was desperate to make sure we were having a girl! And yes 1 boy & 1 girl!

As much as the wait until 20 weeks takes forever, I would save your money and wait.
