Week 20 - Ultrasound... It's a Boy!

A lengthy diagnostic ultrasound is performed at 20 weeks, although many people (myself included) think of it as the ultrasound that will reveal the baby's sex.

The technician will be looking to view and capture the entire spine, all four chambers of the heart, both kidneys, the brain, and the placenta.
