Ok in Australia we don't have to pay for ultrasounds. It's free. I'm not too sure where you come from but WOW!, having to pay for an ultrasound that is a joke. I simply asked the technician to let me know what i was having and she told me it was girl. It was absolutely free for her to tell me.

most of the time you get at least one ultrasound included with all of your doctors fees. You can ask the doc to tell you what the sex of the baby is. it should be included with your total fees for pregnancy. If you're on medicaid or have insurance, i'm sure they will cover it because the ultra sound itself is to determine the health of the baby, not just to figure out the sex. The doctor more than likely won't let you go your whole pregnancy not having an ultrasound, like i said it's for the well being of a baby, not for the sex. don't worry about paying any extra for them to tell you the sex.
good luck.

You will go to a routine scheduled ultrasound at around 20 weeks. Yes, you will pay for the ultrasound, but your insurance will cover it. Finding out if it's a boy or girl is free. The technician will ask you, "Do you want to know if it's a boy or girl?" And you'll say, "Yes." or "No." and it's completely free to find out. In fact, most technicians WANT to find out... it's a perk about being an ultrasound technician, you get to find out if it's a boy or girl and see the mother's reaction. :)

well you can get an ultrasound done between 18 - 20 weeks (if the baby cooperates and doesn't cross its legs). if you don't have insurance then yes you have to pay for it out of your pocket. if you just wanna have fun with it...check out

I am on medicaid but I was told I would still have to pay $50 to find out. Don't know why this is. I have heard of other doctor's charging as well. It probably just takes alot more time than usual or something.

most times you find out on your 20 week routine ultrasound. You only have to pay for what your insuarance doesn't cover. mine was a 15$ co pay. It depends on the type of coverage you have.

if you have an ultrasound the tech would gladly tell you if the baby is cooperating. you do have to pay for ultrasoudns if you don't have insurance though. i never had to pay. i eas on medicaid and did not pay. No one i knew had to pay as long as they were paying for the ultrsound services

You should pay. The psychics make you pay to tell you your future
