It seems like the first thing people ask you these days
when you tell them that you are expecting is
"Do you know what you're having?"
I'm generally a bit cheeky and reply
"A baby. Fingers crossed anyway."
But of course I know what they mean.
With the progress in ultrasound technology
it's now pretty much a standard
that you can find out what gender your baby is
when you are scanned around 20 weeks.
And from the people I speak to
it seems like the vast majority take up the offer.
