In canada you have to pay for a special gender scan. Sadly the law was passed due to gender selection. So you also cant find out at most places till after 23 weeks. Or you can pay a couple hundred bucks to find out at 20 weeks.

I don't think it's all of canada, my friends and family back east NB and NL all were able to find out. The tech told me they won't tell you before 20 weeks here, i'm 20 weeks tomorrow.... I was so heartbroken. Some of my friends were told earlier, think it depends on the tech...mine wasn't budging I can find out monday when I go over results with the geneticist. I had to book mine earlier to decide on amnio... my original appt was at the end of the month... catch 22. didn't want to go ahead with amnio without all info from blood work and level 2 scan, yet can't find out gender because it's before the 20 weeks. sigh! I'm 40 and have had 6 miscarriages, this will be my last pregnancy....it was heartbreaking that she wouldn't tell me.

Lucky bums back east!!!

Oh man one day!! I'd be so sad too!!! Well at least you get to find out. We are paying a stupid amount to have a 3/4D scan and gender scan....which will be fun!

Frustrating hey? I think if we ask they should tell with the assumption that we can't sue or something dumb like that if they are wrong.

As far as the latest buzz on problems with certain cultures choosing gender selection (and terminating girls) I think they need to find a way to address the issue without punishing the people who aren't finding out for those reasons.
