20 week scan - gender reveal

I have my 20 week scan at the JR this week and was wondering when it comes to finding out the gender, are they willing to write it down on a piece of paper as we want to do a surprise gender reveal? Has anyone had their 20 week scan yet?

Vague sex given from sonography

We opted to find out the sex of our baby. The sonogrpaher said she “thinks it’s a boy but can’t be 100% sure” and that we should have a blood test to be sure.

For some reason the ultrasound technician was not informed of how far along I was and sh...

Telling close family

I am 8 weeks gestation tomorrow (although scans show baby only as 7 weeks but with a healthy heartbeat). I am dying to tell my family but don’t want to get their hopes up in case something goes wrong. Is everyone waiting for the 12 week mark? 🙈
