Maybe she had amnio done because of her addictions?

That's odd, because I had an ultra sound at 16 weeks, back in '94 and was told I was going to have a boy - and they were right

I had a look online and it said anything from 16 weeks but that the person writing had had one that even at 28 weeks they couldn't tell.
From what she was saying it depends on the skill of the scanner (radiographer?) and the position on the baby.

I have to hand it to her. She handled her jail sentence way better than Paris.

She maybe lying about being off of drugs but she is way smarter at playing the spin game than Britney, Blohan, and Paris.

My doctor wouldn't tell me the sex of either of my babies. I *knew* both times though, so it didn't really matter too much.

What sucked for me is that we don't get ultrasound pics [I have no idea if this applies to all of Canada, or just the area I happened to live in]. I had the ultrasound for my daughter done a couple of weeks farther along than with my son and the difference in the size of the baby and amount of space in utero was just amazing. I really would have loved to have photos!

When my husband and I went for our ultra sound, we asked if we could have a picture of our baby and they said we could. At that time, you had to ask, they never offered (I live in Canada, btw) I have it in my son's baby book.

in the local hospital here you have to pay for them, but it's the norm to get them.... I don't know how recent this is tho - aabbcc I can't remember how old your kids are.... maybe Icepik's are younger?

My son will be 13 this year.

We had a few friends who had ultra sound pictures and they told us that when we went in for an ultra sound, to ask for a picture of the baby. They had no problem with that, whatsoever. I didn't have to pay for it, either.

The picture certainly doesn't look like todays ultra sound pics do (obviously, right? It was 1994), but you can certainly tell it's a baby. He was laying on his side, so his head, spine, legs and arms are visible. If it wasn't tacked into my sons baby book, I would love to show everyone here, just to show how good it was, considering the year.

My kids are 14 and 15. I am 29. *cough*

No one, either in the doctor's office or at the hospital, said anything to me about the option of getting an ultrasound photo. They just did the procedure and hustled me along. At the time, being too full of all the water I had to drink beforehand, I was more than happy to rush out and get to the nearest bathroom!

She handled her jail sentence way better than Paris.

Perhaps because they only gave her 4 days? (just a thought)

^ oh, you have hit that good age haven't you?

Don't forget that Nicole's was a plea-bargin so she know what it was (as she'd already agreed to it), whereas Paris' was a verdict/judgement.

[curlysem]

i thought she didnt want to know the sex of the baby??

[cynic]

Between the drugs she's been doing and the lack of healthy weight, I don't know how she could carry a child to term. My money is on an extremely premature delivery if she even makes it that far.

Has she played pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey yet to find out who the babby daddy is?

[Novice]

I think a roulette wheel might be a) fairer & b) more accurate

[cynic]

Did I read that she has it narrowed down to four? I cannot believe that she found four men to sleep with her assless self......
