I'm close to Toronto. Anywhere within 2 hours of me won't look at you before 18 weeks (trying to crack down on gender selection) and most private places are 20 anyways now too, they are all changing their minimums! I have no idea where in On they are from but I have contacted all private places near me and none do early! Lol weird!!!Quote:

Unfortunately most people that go to those places are east and south Asians and abort the fetus if it's a girl. It's the sad reality. But anyhow, you can get an early gender determination scan at those places. GOOD LUCK
Hm I did call a couple places near Toronto and they said gender determination at 18 weeks! Then I talked to a 3D place in Pickering and she told me they were changing the regulations because of the gender selection issue, maybe I will try a couple more places lol I really would like know sooner, I'm too excited! Thank you :)Quote:

Hi thanks a lot for the info! Where abouts are you? I thought it was just a Canada/Ontario thing! UC baby doesn't scan at all till 20 weeks, I looked at their website! Brampton is too far for me (I'm an hour east of Toronto) but I'm going to check out Markham places, and I'm going to watch that CBC video too! I really appreciate the info!!!! The whole gender selection thing is incredibly sad!Quote:

I know it is torture isn't it???Quote:
