I begged DH to let me find out this time, and he said "sure, whatever, we'll know sooner or later"

yay!!!! Now I am VERY excited to get an ultrasound. Of course, now since I'm having a home birth with a midwife, I'm having a hard time finding somebody that will give me a u/s!

:

I just want to know that the baby is healthy, where the placenta is and if it's a boy or a girl! Can I get that info from the places that do the 4D ultrasounds?

Yay! I think you can get that info from the 4-D ones, but not sure. That said there are people who do u/s privately (not through a hospital) and they are usually much cheaper than a u/s through a medical office. Your MW should know of someone, I would think.

Mine recommended a private u/s (although I am going with the medical one since insurance will cover it) and she said the guy would do the normal 20 week measurements and tell gender. He is a certified u/s tech, just works for himself not a hospital.

But I imagine the 4-D "womb peek" places can see gender too, although I believe they are not allowed to do any of the medical measurements or diagnosing of any kind.

Good luck!

Yes, you can find out the sex of your baby at one of those ultrasound boutique places.

Yes, they can tell. My fil had a 4d machine, and we did that a couple times with ds1. It was so fun, he really did end up looking like his us!

I am so jealous! Hope you find a place that will give you the information you seek.
