Do you need a dr's script to get another ultrasound to determine the sex of your baby?

I went for my twenty week ultrasound and was told that they cant tell me the sex of the baby, it's some new policy. So I want to go to another place that will, but my doctor will not write me a script. Can I go to another doctor to get a script? Are there places that don't require a script?
 
You can always pay for one at a private facility. No prescription needed but I am not sure they will tell you the sex, they may just show you and let you "guess" for yourself.

P.S. If the tech was able to tell the sex of the baby they put it in their report to the doctor so the doctor is fully aware. Just ask your doctor. He actually cannot refuse to tell you but an ultrasound tech can for liability reasons.
 
Wow, that seems a bit odd that your doctor wont tell you the sex of your child. Do you have ultrasound pictures? Cause if you do, you can always just google boy/girl ultrasounds & compare yours. But I would try your local hospital. I'm not sure if they would do it. I am just saying. Where do you live at? Cause if we knew where you lived it would be easier for us to tell you where you can go. Or maybe even try planned parenthood. You can go to www.plannedparenthood.com & see if there is one close to you.
 
Unless you want to pay out of pocket for it. Insurances will not cover you to get an u/s just to determine the sex. Its not medically necc. Not sure why they wouldnt tell you cause i have found out the sex of my kids and my baby that is due in april. They do have those 3d places that you can go to and they will tell you the sex but you have to pay anywhere from $60-200 depending on where you go.
 
you will need a script from your doctor to get another fetal anatomy scan at a medical facility, however there are places now that are just set up for fun. Those new 3D/4D ultrasounds you can just go and have to get great pictures of the baby. They do not to a medical scan of the baby just let you look. Hoever your insurance will not cover it, we had the same situation and we paid $115 for the 3D ultrasound at a private place and found out the sex. i dont know where you live but here is the link to where we went so you can see what i am talking about.
 
Well they sent the pictures to your doctor right? Your doctor should be able too look at the pictures and tell you! Some places will not tell you, however your doctor is suppose to ask you whether you want to know or not and send you to the right technician so you can find out! If she/he doesnt send you for another one or cant tell you then I would see another doctor or something Or save up for 3d/4d ultra sound they tell you but its expensive Here it anywhere from 100-300 depending what package you get! good luck
 
That is weird. I know if you go for a private 3d/4d they can tell you and your not a patient...the only thing the require is proof that you are under a doctors care
 
That's is weird, I leave in CA and my doctor is going to do another one because the baby was moving too much so in a week he'll try to see if is a girl or boy.
I think is just your doctor that has issues.
