wow, can't believe how many get it wrong. We've been told twice it's a girl, i'm still going to get it checked in my 4D scan coming up next week.

Have any of you who were told a girl & it wasn't see the 3 lines? I'm so paranoid as everything I bought is pink hahaha even the rocking horse

On the subject of u/s machines....our experience is that yes, the ones that bulk bill are generally a bit older whereas the ones you pay $$ for are well worth the money (you get a rebate anyway). My midwife's face fell when I told her I'd been to Box Hill hossy for my second u/s as she knew immediately the place she'd initially referred us to (right across the road to Box Hill) was a whoooole lot better. We thought we were being smart by not having to pay but regret it now as we didn't get any pics done, and the screen seemed rather blurry. Our 12 week pics (at $$ place) were a whole lot clearer than the 18 weeks screen ones. Anyway, next time!

Hi,

Perspective!... perhaps you should focus on having a HEALTHY child!

As a qualified Sonographer, determining the gender depends on...
1. Maternal size
2. Baby's position
3. Pregnancy Gestation

You should never be GUARANTEED the sex of your baby, but if the above points are all optimal and the quality of the machine is good, then it is usually quite clear to the Sonographer.
