finding out babys sex at 6 weeks!!!
I was just wondering what people thought on being able to find out the sex of your baby at 6 weeks by buying a test off the internet for 180 pounds, i think then you give a blood sample and they can tell you if the y chromosone is there its a boy and if it isnt then its a girl. I personally dont agree with this as people might abort because the baby is the wrong sex etc, i just find these things a bit wrong.

I do agree that it shouldn't matter, as we tried for a long time to have a baby and I would of been just as happy with a girl - i would be lying to say I didn't have a preference.
I had a sexing scan at 16 weeks, mainly because my husband couldn't make the 12 week scan and it was so amazing - I just wanted another one, and the next was at 22 weeks which was far too long to wait, and for me, it made the pregnancy more real to find out the sex - and I'd do it again.
I think finding out so soon into the pregnancy is a big mistake.
Most people don't have their 20 weeks scan to find out the sex of the baby. I had mine to detect any anomolies - finding out the sex was a bonus.
I don't agree with the 6 week test, i feel it will cause a rise in abortion rates as people trying for one sex will abort another.
