I'm Currently Feeling:  | 20 week scan on tues.. How likely is it that we'll be able to tell the sex?
Ok... So tuesday is scan day! Soooo looking forward to seeing bubs again and we would definately like to know the sex... But now im thinking, what if baby doesn't want to cooperate?? Is it possible to give it a poke around to try and move it, or is that easier said than done? Also, how accurate are they? Do they often get it wrong? Sorry if my questions seem abit silly... |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | They should be able to tell the sex, but it does depend if the baby wants to play, Doing a little wiggle might help, but it depends if the sonographer is willing to let you, they can sometimes be a bit sniffy.
They are pretty accurate, but have been known to be wrong. just ask the sonographer how sure they are when they tell you.
Good luck though hun xxx. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | when i went for mine the baby was in an awkward position and i was asked to lie on my side to get her to move, it depends on who u get though cos mine was a private sexing scan so obviously they might have been more willing to try and move the baby, im sure i have heard of nhs scans though were they let u go back after 10min walk and food to see if the baby has shifted position
i hope u find out babe

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Check with your hospital as some dont/wont tell you .. just their policy im afraid.
Most will do though given your LO isnt curled up into a ball!! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My son was sitting indian style when we had our sexing scan. The tech did some measurements and by the time she was done- he had uncrossed his legs. She told me that sometimes emptying your bladder helps also. Good Luck! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Good luck . If your worried hun try a sugary drink just before you get called in .
Should get baby active , If baby is active and movinga round should have a good chance of getting the right angel to see .
Hope u have a fab day . xx . |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | When we first went in the baby was in such an odd position and his foot was slightly between his legs but halfway through he just moved and showed us his dangly bits in their full glory haha. |
