All of our packages include gender determination/confirmation (if desired). Our experienced, certified technicians can usually determine gender anytime after 16 weeks. We don't make any guesses here - if the baby is not in a position where our technicians can be absolutely sure, we will have you come back as a courtesy until we are confident about the gender.

We pride ourselves on our skill and accuracy and gender determination/verification when it is desired. However, we will never guess or give percentages on gender. If, for any reason, we cannot determine gender and you are at least 17 weeks pregnant, we will invite you back for a free return visit (must return within 2 weeks of original appointment for free return). You don't want to know gender? Not to worry. Our sonographers always ask if you want to know gender before they get started. See similar questions...

Yes, in almost all cases we provide confirmation of your baby's gender (only if requested). However, if the baby is uncooperative during the session and we are unable to confirm gender ID, we schedule a complimentary repeat scan for a later date. this point, insurance does not cover this as it's an elective procedure and is not intended to be a replacement for your physician ordered ultrasound. You will need to pay this as an out of pocket expense. See similar questions...

The amount of time that a woman is separated from her baby is a key factor in establishing the LAM criterion of full or nearly full breastfeeding, day and night, with no long intervals between feedings. A woman who is separated from her baby regularly for more than four to six hours cannot expect a high level of contraceptive protection from LAM, even if she expresses milk during the separation.

The gender is determined by the Beanie poem or how Ty refers that Beanie...whether it is a "He", "She", or neutral ("It"), like 1997 Teddy. Erin has a neutral poem but Ty kept on speaking about Erin as a "She" in the Ty website...then Erin is a "She". See similar questions...

Approximately one-quarter to one-third of all untreated pregnant women infected with HIV will pass the infection to their babies during pregnancy or childbirth.

Women should talk with their clinician about when and how often they should have a Pap test. Current general guidelines recommend that women have a Pap test at least once every 3 years, beginning about 3 years after they begin to have sexual intercourse, but no later than age 21. Experts recommend waiting about 3 years after the start of sexual activity to avoid overtreatment for common, temporary abnormal changes. It is safe to wait 3 years, because cervical cancer usually develops slowly. See similar questions...

ldquo;Full Aneuploidy Panel” tests for chromosomes 13, 15, 16, 18, 21, 22, X and Y because these are the chromosomes that are most commonly abnormal.
