i'm going to the Rotunda too.
I hope to find a better midwife.
I can image the way you felt.

They will ask but sometimes just to cover their own backs they will tell you its not 100%.I think sometimes you just know.

I couldn't wait to find out the sex either and on my 22 week scan in Holles St we asked the midwife could she tell and she did say they couldn't be 100% sure but that it was a boy and then i got a 3d sc an done privately and that also proved it was a boy and on 30/09/2007 out popped a little boy so thankfully they didn't make a mistake.
I have heard of a good few people who were expecting one sex and got another though scary!

We had a scan at 16 weeks and, unless I'm remembering wrong, they said they can't really tell until about 22 weeks. Anybody been able to tell earlier than that?
We don't get any more scans until about a month before the due date. Bit of a pain as we are struggling to think of a name if it's a boy

I was speechless and didn't open my mouth for the rest of the scan...

Wow! How incredibly rude. I think my head would have went if she'd spoken to us like that. Fair play to you for keeping your cool. Sounds like one sour (fill in your own blank)

Rotunda told the sex of the baby. Also said he was a little rascal on my hands. Boy did she call it right!
