Waaaahhhhh! Can't Find Out Baby's Gender :( Anyone Else?

[Mrs Jak]

I had the 19/20 week morphology scan the other week and I'm really pleased to say that so far everything is looking fine, but when the sonographer looked to see what sex the baby is, the baby was wriggling around a lot and crossing its legs.

I understand that a lot of people love the surprise of finding out at their delivery, but I am so totally opposite and love to know so I can plan and buy pink or blue

I so thought I would come out of there knowing the sex of my baby like I did the other 2 times.

My Ob, (who charges extra for scans) reckons her machine won't pick up the sex of the baby, so there's no chance I'll be finding out from her.

So now I have to wait until at least 32 weeks for another scan to hopefully find out.

Did this happen to anyone else? Everyone else I know has been able to find out and they have all been correct.

Oh no Mrs Jak - how frustrating!! I opted to find out, I was like you - dying to know. I am not sure where you are located, but here in Qld there are a couple of places in Bris and Gold Coast that do non diagnostic scans - so basically 3D scans and gender determination at the same time. Might be worth looking into if you really can't wait?????

When I was pregnant with DD we didn't find out her sex until I was about 32 weeks pregnant. She just didn't want to give it up. Although due to medical reasons I had quite a few scans.

[Mrs Jak]

Hi starangelk, yep we're in Qld too, but unfortunately no one here does the undiagnostic ones

indie24, I really hope the baby will show us its 'bits' at the 32 week scan, like your baby

It's funny, because I always thought that when people said the baby had its legs crossed they just didn't want to tell anyone the sex, but now I know it's a reality!

Oh that sucks! So there's no where that you can go just to get a scan? Even though I know what I'm having, I'm going back at 28 weeks just to get another pic

When I was pregnant with DD she wasnt giving up ANYTHING (not that we were after her sex) everytime I had a scan (and due to medical reasons I had a number of them) she had her little legs crossed. She now sits with them still crossed and when I am feeding her or she is relaxing she crosses them too
