I had midwife on Wednesday and she informed me that in my area they no longer tell you the gender at your 18-20 scan, I’m a bit gutted as I think we decided to find out the sex but now they don’t do it! Typical haha. Looks like if we really want to know we will have to go private anyway
The midwife said too many people were getting annoyed if the baby was in wrong position etc and they couldn’t tell the sex and it was taking over what the scan was actually for (which obviously isn’t finding out the sex) probably caused a lot of late appointments too if people were insisting on finding out the sex but baby wouldn’t co operate. I think she said if the sex was obvious and the didn’t have to really check for it they will tell you but if you ask them to do it they won’t. Will just have to see what happens reallyWhy would they not tell you? They can obviously see at 20 weeks and have been able to tell for years, so why not just say? Madness lol

I agree it’s ruined it for a lot of peopleThis is why I hate people, it's obviously nice to find out but if they couldn't tell that's not their fault lol if they couldn't tell I'd book a private scan specifically for finding out haha
