We paid for a private scan at 16 weeks. It's very much worth it!

My gender scan cost 55 and 20 bucks extra for a 3D and 4d picture and got all of them on a DVD. That was in vegas

Hi! Yes so worth it, our insurance only allotted two ultrasounds and babygirl had her legs locked so we paid to get a scan done at a private place for 75 dollars, with DVD and pictures. If they can't determine gender you can come back as many times as it takes since you're paying to soley find out gender. They usually can tell you the first time though because unlike the hospital ultrasounds it's their sole mission to determine the sex of the baby. : ) good luck!

I say at least look around at pricing see if it seems worth it to u :) I had just a quick peek with my dr Tuesday he thinks it's a girl but he couldn't see that great so tomorrow I have an appointment at a gender ultrasound
for 35 dollars and then one more check at my drs at 20 weeks

Well the place I went to will redo the session for free if baby doesn't cooperate. But the session cost 100+ depending where you live I live in fort worth Texas so the places here aren't too badly priced

my anatomy scan was not for sure too, they told me girl but she was breech and had her legs crossed. So I went to a 3d ultrasound place and they couldn't even guess boy or girl so i'd say its a gamble! I just bought neutral colors in case!

The gender scan was 110 and the scan I'm going to tomorrow is 100! It is so worth it to me because my Dr. Isn't giving me anymore sonograms and I didn't get great pics of my baby before so  I'm hoping I'll get to see what his sweet face looks like tomorrow :)

I think it is. That is how I found out the gender of my baby. You get a DVD pics and 30 mins at most places but I was so excited to find out what I was having and thank god I did because two weeks later at my anatomy scan my Dr couldn't tell Cuz baby wouldn't cooperate. Now  I'm 27+4 and going.tomorrow to get another 3d-4d private scan that I'm paying for

Either ask for another one or pay for a private scan if you really wanna know the gender!
