16 week check up (question)
Okay i have my appointment the october 6th and the doctor told me they are gonna check the heartbeat on the fetal doppler. And might be able to tell the sex. But I am not due for a sono until week 20.
Will they check and not give me a picture?
And what else goes on at that visit.
Thanks ladies

Re: 16 week check up (question)
if they are only using the doppler to listen to the heart, you won't be able to find out the sex. If they are doing a regular sono, you maybe able to find out at 16 weeks

Re: 16 week check up (question)
My 16 week checkup is also on the 6th. I think they will give you a picture if you ask. I am lucky, my doctor does a sono every 3 weeks and my perinatalogist every 2 weeks. I am carrying twins so I am not sure if it is different.

probably right because twins are higher risk because there are two inside you My mom had that when she was preggo with my twin and I .

Re: 16 week check up (question)
maybe they were kidding around and talking about the old wives' tale about being able to tell the sex by the heartrate?
