Do they tell you the gender at 20 week scan?
Will you find out the sex of the baby? The 20-week ultrasound is often known as the “gender reveal,” but it depends on the baby’s position and the medical directive from the clinic or hospital where you have the scan.
Why am I nervous for my anatomy scan?
But for those expecting again after a loss, the anatomy scan can be a scary, anxiety-ridden time. It may be the time that you found out something was wrong with your other baby, or when you found out that other baby had already passed. For some, it may be the first time you’ve ever even made it this far in pregnancy.
