We only tell them if they ask AND if we feel the image is good enough to tell... usually in the last half of gestation. Not early enough for legal termination in this state.

What is your policy re: revealing gender of the fetus to parents? We have a lot of pressure on us to tell them the sex of the baby. Thanks for your help

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
