how often can they tell the sex of your baby at the 18-20 u/s?

yes, depends on baby's position - which can change every moment! If you tell them at the start then, yes, they should look out for it....

When I was having my daughter, I really wanted to know the sex...my heart was beating fast, as we'd been waiting half the pregnancy to find out...and then, at the end of the scan, when the sonographer had a look, she said "sorry, baby isn't showing us"...I said "can I get up and walk a bit or jump a bit or something (as they'd suggested this when i was having a scan w/ my first pregnancy) and she said "no, sorry, i don't have time"....so, she obviously didn't have children!! It may have been just another moment in her day, but it was the moment I thought we'd be naming our baby. Luckily, I ended up having another scan at 26 weeks,as I was measuring bigger for dates, and our little daughter introduced herself! I immediately went shopping!!

it sounds like you can start shopping right away then if hes a boy? I guess if it's there to see, it's there to see!
