A lot of sex reveal posts...

Why do I feel like there are a slew of people finding out the sex of their baby before 18-20 weeks?

I still have another month to go....*sigh*

Those of you who did elective u/s, what was your reason? I'm assuming you'll have an anatomy scan closer to 20 weeks to make sure your baby is healthy, correct?

    I found out during an appt regarding a UTI - but my doc does quick scans at every appt unless I'm just stopping in to get blood drawn. I didn't even know they could tell gender before 16 weeks via u/s!

    I will find out in Thursday, but its not an elective u/s. I am considered high risk so I will get more ultrasounds than a normal pregnancy would have.

    Not elective, but I had my first high risk cervical check u/s at 17 weeks.  The tech was just cool/nice enough to take a peek at baby and we found out yesterday through a little reveal our neighbor helped me with (just waiting on pics to announce).&n

    I'm having the same impatience... My last ultrasound was at 6 weeks and I'm 16 weeks now. I'm also high risk so I don't understand why they aren't giving me more ultrasounds... Guess for some of us it's just a waiting game!

    I had an elective at a private place for $150 just because I am super impatient, I'll admit it. At that ultrasound she measured everything pretty much like the a/s will do and she sends it over to my doctor. But then I will have another a/s at the actual

    I'm having an elective one only because I know someone with her own ultrasound business and she is willing to do it for free but I will probably pay her something!!! I still have another two weeks before in 16 weeks!!!

    I don't live in the US. As long as you're not going to a government doctor it's the norm here to have an u/s at every visit. It's not something I had to go out of my way to have done. I would have had to have gone out of my way to opt out.

    For us we were at our genetic testing appt and the doctor was able to tell us. I think more people find out earlier now due to the genetic testing. We're not 100% yet, only because it's early so we aren't getting excited until our Harmony tests come back
