when can you .......

[trudie]

find out what sex your baby is??? at how many weeks

 

[Rock-Angel]

20 week scan normally!

But depends on your hospital, apparently some of them won't tell you anymore. And sometimes they can't tell even at 20 weeks depending how cooperative the baby is being.

 

[trudie]

thats just not fair lol i have to w8 till the end of april

 

[trudie]

thats not fair they should give u the choice to find out it should be ur choice if you want to no or not so you can get ur nursary ready, clothes etc

You could have a private gender scan - most clinics will do these from around 16/17 weeks. Costs vary quite a lot depending on where you are though, from around £60 - £150.

And be grateful you don't live in an area where you don't even get a 20 week scan - not all NHS trusts offer them, so all some people get is a 12 week one, which really *IS* ridiculous!

Hehehe well we ought to make the most of our tax money really you know! Your hospital might well be prepared to tell you, plenty of them do! Ask 'em. I think the reason some of them don't is down to the ethnic make-up in the area, if you know what I mean - at the end of the day it doesn't really make much difference to most of us but there are people who'll take drastic action if it's a girl... sad but true...

 

[trudie]

yeh i see i did think that would of been the reason and it is sad that that happens, but we should make the most of our tax lol ur rite i didnt work 60 hours a week for nothing lol

You usually have scan at about 20 weeks which should be booked after your dating scan (12 weeks). The sex can usually be determined anytime from about 16-17 weeks.

If you dont usually get 20 week scans in your area, then the best bet for a sexing scan would be a 4D scan which you would have to pay for.. but it is amazing!

[trudie]

do u know how much they cost they look really good

 

[Jaded Diamond]

you're probably best googling 4d scans in your local area.
There are a couple of places near us that do reassurance scans and you get a couple of pictures and are about £60.
But they also have deluxe packages with dvd's and stuff too and they're like £150ish. The prices varied depending on which place i looked at.

our daughter was a lil bugger tho she was very shy and kept her legs crossed we didnt find out for sure she was a girl until a private gender scan (free @ innervision!) at 33 weeks!
