    with this bub i was booked in to get a scan, i rang them just to check if they let you know, luckily for me the receptionist told me they will definatly not tell you what you are having as its against there policy, so i went elsewhere, they didnt give me a 100% it a girl answerbut it was pretty clear, she just said looks like a girl but we cant be 100%.

    with all my other kids the first 2 i never found out, the next two they told me they were boys......and they were with the next one they thought she was a girl, but said its not definate so dont go out and buy all the pink things, she was a girl.......but i have always got the " we cant be 100% sure" so they can cover there backsides i suppose.

    Do you have any places where you can get a 4D scan done. I,m having one when I,m 18+ weeks and they would def. be able to tell you the sex because it's 4D.

    DW had a 4D scan at 26 weeks, and we were told we wer having a girl. They even pointed out the 3 lines blah blah blah. 14 weeks later, out came a boy.

    We had ours done at a place called Fetal Fotos at Henly Beach (in Adelaide)

    Hi,

    We went into our 18 to 20 wk scan with our 2nd child saying "We dont want to know what it is" within 5 mins we ALL went "Oh, well theres no mistaking what he is, is there" our son was sitting there in all his glory VERY obvious indeed.

    Our 3rd child we were told was a girl and she definately is.

    Our 4th we asked but not only did she cross her legs but she made sure the umbilical cord was between them first so there was no seeing around it.

    This baby i have been having weekly scans and they could tell at 17 wks what it is, i still ask every time i have another just to be sure though but its obvious to me what it is anyway

    This baby i had my scan at 19 wks but i know in previous years i have had them at 17/18wks, apparently you have them later now because they have brought in the 12 wk nuchal fold scan and also that extra week or 2 makes it heaps easier to see everything.
