We based in GZ so no checking of baby sex. Where is good in HK & when should we do the check?

From week 14 onwards the doctor should be able to make an accurate guess.

I am fascinated by the phrase "accurate guess". Surely it is either accurate or it is a guess.
What you are doing when sexing is looking for a penis and testicles, if you see them its boy if you dont its a girl. Problem is if you look too early and dont see them it could mean its a girl or that you just did not find the equipment.So generally the later the better. When you have the most important, and the most essential U/S, the anatomical scan at 18-20 weeks the sexing is very reliable. It is interesting that many couple still prefer not to know, wanting to have that surprise at birth, my own daughter expressly told the US techs NOT to say a word.

Hi, I just got a 45 minutes detailed ultrasound in Adventist Hospital. The told me I have 70% chance to get a boy. The cost was 2000 HKD for the exam. The 3D ultrasound is much more expensive and the image is more clear for you.

Agree with TC. Scans have come a long way in the last few years. The 20 week scans with my last 2 were so clear a 3 year old could have told you what I was having. And it doesn't spoil anything, its still a surprise whatever day you find out. And it does help you get prepared. With my 4 one I really wanted a girl, I found out at the scan that I was having a boy, I cried all night. But I'm glad I found out as I had 5 months to get used to the idea of having a boy, picking a name, seeing all the pluses of having another boy, so that by the time I had him I was over the moon. But I think if I hadn't found out I would have been really disappointed on the day, at least for a while.

Agree with TC. Adventist is not on my shortlist either. A friend of mine was scanned twice there and told both times she was having a girl. After several rounds of girly shopping and receiving pink frilly presents, she gave birth to a healthy boy. Although not disappointed with a son, there was some confusion in getting to know 'a different baby' and some delay in choosing the name.
Victoriita - hang on to any receipts if you go shopping.

Macor Wan - St. George's building - try him. He has the latest machine - something like a 4D machine and can provide very detailed pictures. His tech is also really good.

Sure fire way to tell sex. Take a gold wedding band and hold it from a piece of thread over your belly. Just let the ring slide to the middle of the thread about a foot down. hold the thread steady. If it is a boy it will swing back and forth. If it is a girl it will rotate in a circle. I have never seen it wrong! you can tell on yourself or your husband, do the same but hold it over your wrist. yours will rotate your husbands will go back and forth...
