Well first of all Mark I would like for you to know their is a medical reason why ultrasounds are done for pregnancy. Ultrasounds are not for gender, or to just “look” at the baby. Actually, ignorant people like yourself are what I deal with all day. Do you not realize there may be something seriously wrong with the child. Do you know how many idiots I have scanned who only care about the gender and get upset because its not what they want. Meanwhile Im thinking you are going to feel like a retard when you find out your child does not have a brain and will die as soon as it is born! It is called anencephaly it is a congenital birth defect look it up, along with the many others ultrasound helps find to give your child a chance to live. It is because of people like you the ARDMS (sonography accreditation program) and the states are passing laws to prevent non medical use of sonography. So next time you go and get an ultrasound, instead ask the tech if your child is ok and worry about that not the gender!
