They usually do a routine
checkup/ultrasound in between 16
&20wks just to check the health of the
baby, &they'll ask you if you want to
know the sex.

Sometimes it isn't always possible to
determine the sex by ultrasound. And
many doctors do not think that determining
gender is a good enough reason to order an
ultrasound (they can be costly).
Ultrasounds are used primarily for making
sure that your baby is growing healthy.
My 20 week ultrasound was not able to tell
me boy or girl and I hear that happens
alot. Luckily for me, I was able to have
another one at 23 weeks b/c my little baby
wouldn't sit still the first time, and
they were not able to get accurate
measurements ( the whole reason for
getting an ultrasound). However, many
women will only get the 20 week scan and
then no others. So don't be too set upon
finding out the gender b/c your baby may
not cooperate :)
