Early Gender Scan? To pay or not to pay...that is the question

[Jadis]

a gender reveal photo shoot? What a fantastic idea! I love it. So what's the timeline like? How long after the photo shoot until you can reveal the gender to your friends and family? I'd be twitching with excitment, I think I'd burst trying to hold it in. I can't wait to hear I'm sure you've got Aubree in there!

Yes we're SOO excited! We have a session booked for the 7th with our photographer, I wanted to book it so its far enough away we can reschedule if they can't see for some reason! But she said to message her after the scan and shell get us in ASAP. Thank goodness jan is her slow month then she said since she's already caught up on photos we will have them by the next DAY!!! So hopefully it'll work out we won't have to hold it in for long at all, I will definitely be bursting as well

Will you post one of the pics from your shoot here for us to see? It's such a fun idea!

Your photo shoot is tomorrow, CVD! You must be looking forward to it, can't wait to see a pic-it might give me some ideas. Our u/s is booked for Jan.23rd, I'll be 18 weeks exactly...eeeeek...I'm terrified now.

We actually had to cancel it. I am terribly sick. I've had the flu since Friday and DS is still sick too. But we actually decided not to do the gender reveal, since we found out a week early I just wanted to tell people rather then keep pretending I thought its a girl so were actually just getting regular maternity/family photos. We're still going to incorporate some baby boy stuff in but it's not being used as an announcement! All my super cute ideas were girl things
Can't wait to hear your update on the 23rd ill be checking lots!!

Since the CBC report on early gender ultrasounds in June, no where in Toronto will take you before 19-20 weeks. I called every single place possible in the GTA.

Really??? I'm in Calgary and there are a few places here that will do it...I got a potty shot at 15 weeks with DS. What did the CBC report say?

That too many were using ultrasounds then getting abortions for gender selection. It's really sad.

OMG, really??? I don't mean to sound weird, but was it a cultural thing? Like, female babies were being aborted. Honestly, I'm shocked!

Yes! Apparently the majority were of the Indian culture. Since the undercover investigation, everywhere has changed their guidelines in Toronto! Even the place I went, just east of Toronto, changed theirs from 18 weeks up to 20! So sad sucks for those of us who are just excited and want to know!
