I would love to know what I am having. But I cant. The hospital where I will have my scans and visits wont tell you!! Its very frustrating!!

There is a private hospital about 20 min drive away that will tell you but it costs about £100. And to be honest what with this being our third 'mouth to feed' we could put that money to better use elsewhere so I will have to stick with the surprise!

I Have to Ask
Posted: 01-11-07 13:29pm

Ok sorry I have to ask why?

Do they give you a reason they won't tell you the sex of your baby?

some hospitals won't tell you because they fear reprisals should they get it wrong. Another outcome of today's compensation culture. Another reason is the fact that some cultures/religions have prefernces for certain genders, usually males, and may abort if they know the child they are carrying is not the gender they want. This is what the hospital I had my scans with my son at told me. They, however, did tell the sex!

my Dr. Told me bluntly before the scan started. "ok. 3 things I need to tell you. I don't repaint rooms, I don't have a crystal ball, & I can't put it back in once it's out!"

the 1st scan I had, "here's the package. It's a boy!!"
i didn't believe him, so I asked him how much would it cost for a sex determination. He said $250! So I scheduled a sex determination to "make sure."

the next scan, he said the same 3 things.
He found her bits and said "it's a girl!"
i reminded him of what he had said 2 weeks prior and he looked confused. He checked my chart and was like, "hold on...Let me check again!"

he confirmed a girl and said "i'll retire if it isn't a girl! But you have your 38 week scan, so we'll for sure see then!"

well...We all know .Oni came at 37 weeks and I was totally confused as to what her sex was!!! Thank .God it was a *girl*!!!

Scans *suck*!!

I was thinking now I have made this topic, I may as well put this question here!!

Since I have stopped smoking I have been literally eating all day! To start with I kept it to fruit and tried to be healthy but it got to the point where I was eating so much (seriously) I got bored with it!!

Any tips on how to stop eating so much and when will this stop!!! I gave up a month ago thought the cravings for food would have stopped by now!! I am beginning to think, that big 'baby' belly you all thought I had might actually be a greedy belly!! Smile

The same thing happened with me! Confused

Quitting smoking made it hard for me to curb my appetite!!! Hence the thousands of stretch marks!! Ha!!

Just say *no*!!! Lol!
