The 20 week appt.

On Thursday we go for our 20 week ultrasound.  I have been hellbent on not finding out if "Plum" is a boy or girl and want to stay strong.  I had a friends appointment go sour because the tech used the gender.  

 Any advice for those of you who didn't find out for approaching the appointment? 

Thanks all!

  • Just find out!!! ;-). J/K

     

    No advice since we found out, but can't wait to hear how things go!! 

  • I would tell the tech right away that you don't want to know the sex.  With DD #1, it took forever for them to get a shot that told us she was a girl.  With this one, it was the first shot on the screen.  The tech should respect your wishes, but they are human and may slip up and use a gender in conversation, but I think that's pretty rare.  
  • The tech at our u/s asked before anything else -- did we want to know. I told her if *I* could see it, then we could find out (and told her that *I* wasn't the one that wanted to find out, so that was the compromise). When we got to the shot, she pulled the screen away and said "Okay, are you sure you want to know?" And then showed us. She was awesome!

    Just make sure you tell them you DO NOT want to know. The tech doesn't even need to go looking for the shot if you don't want to know!

  • We have never found out and always told the tech first thing that we did not want to know. We have never had them slip.

  • We didn't find out with N...as others have said, just be up front before the u/s starts. The sonographer told us to cover our eyes when she was checking that area...it worked out perfectly.

     IMO, you won't regret not finding out. Just an extra incentive at the end of labor Smile
