    Well our DS had all his bits on show

    That said she had already looked over him and she knew before she pointed out the area. We wouldn't have known what we were looking at otherwise.

    Didnt find out with # 1 or 4, and when the sonographer is in that region, they simply ask you look away. I could never tell what i was looking at anyway, even if a doodle was staring me in the face, i wouldnt have been able to pic it

    We didn't want to know either. But I looked at the screen the whole time and never saw anything. Maybe if it was a boy I might have been able to tell lol, but most of the time I had NFI what they were looking at.

    Clearly our DS was a boy but we looked at the screen the whole time and saw NADA. We really didn't know what we were looking at

    With Niki we wanted to know and the sonographer was a right PITA and didn't want to tell us.
    This time round we weren't too fussed but because we had soooo many US I figured we'd see something or nothing sooner or later. I knew from around the 16 week mark though.

    A friend of mine decided they weren't going to find out but on the day of their scan the sonographer just put the thing on her belly and bubs bits were on full display - just the way bub was lying at the time. He quickly removed the probe thingy and appologised but it was a little late - seems their little boy wanted them to know !!

    Just tell them you don't want to know , if you don't know what to look for you'll be none the wiser anyway.

    Thanks for all the responses. I'm not a sonographer or ultrasound reader, but do know about the stripes. Hopefully, the little one will just keep themself decent and not be too obvious. I will be going in saying 'i don't want to know.. i don't want to know...' so the scanner person knows our intentions.

    Thanks again all,

    Kate

    I found with all 4 of mine that they didn't reveal the information until we asked but they had already had a look. They are able to tell with just a glimpse usually.
