Third Trimester Ultrasounds | 10/5/09 2:34 AM
I had a ultrasound at 21 weeks they told me I was having a boy but the cord was also between his legs. I asked the doctor at my appt last week if I could get another ultrasound to make sure everything was alright and to make sure that it was a boy. He told me if I want a second ultrasound for gender prediction it would be $75. I thought that was kind of crazy I don't have to have the picture I'm just wondering if it was really a boy. I have 2 boys already and had multiple ultrasounds with him. The nurse told me that he does a quick peek at 36 weeks but there is no guarantee that he look to see the sex just to see the position of the baby. Am I crazy for wanting to switch drs. or just concerned?

When we went in for our anatomy ultrasound our baby wasn't it the best position to see the gender. The ultrasound tech told us that she thought it was a girl however. She said we could take another look at our next appt if we wanted to. So of course being that we already have two girls we wanted to be sure, and asked at the next appt to be checked. The receptionist then proceeded to tell us that it would be $50.00. If there is no medical reason to do an ultrasound then they have to charge you. Your insurance won't cover it, just to see the sex of the baby. We thought it was kinda ridiculous that the ultrasound tech didn't tell us that initially, but we paid the money anyways. My husband just had to be sure. Oh and boy are we sure now! She is for sure a girl. I think they gave us like 13 pictures just of that area at that second ultrasound lol. It gave us peace of mind when it came to painting the nursery though!

I didn't find out the sex of my baby at my 20 week u/s and now am kind of wanting to. So I guess I am more than likely going to have to pay for another one!

When I went for my ultrasound for the gender the technician was having a hard time making out the baby and what I was having. At one point the baby refused to move from the positon (he/she) was in.Somehow the technician said she thought she saw a penis but was very unclear...At this point I still have no clue what I'm having I'm just relaxing. I pray it's a girl but if its a boy I'll still love him with all my heart.

I am 20 weeks and know i am having a girl, but with my second child i could not find out what she was so i went to baby waves and had a 3d 4d ultra sound and it was so well worth the money they give you a cd of pictures and it is just really cool to see them in 3d, even thou i know this one is a girl i will still go have this done, if you have the time and money to do so check out the sit to see if they have one where you are!!!! www.babywaves.com.
