My doctor said that I will have to go to the hospital where I'll be delivering at for my 20 week appointment bc they can't find out the sex at their office. I'm a little confused about why they can't find the sex if they do ultrasounds there also. Is there something special they do at the 20 week appointment that would cause my regular doctor to not be able to do the u/s and find out the sex? It just doesn't make any sence unless there's something else they are going to do that couldn't be done at a regular dr office. TIA!
Re: 20 week u/s ?
My doctor's office refers to it as first trimester screening. It's just a test to find out the chances of the baby having downs. There is an u/s and blood work performed.
