18 weeks detailed ultrasound $7.25 CAD

BC Women’s Hospital parking $2.25 CAD
Ultrasound picture $5 CAD


Couple of interesting things about BC Women’s policies:


They don’t allow taking pictures during the ultrasound and won’t record the ultrasound for you. The only thing you can get is one picture.


They don’t reveal the baby’s gender until week 24 – this one was pretty shocking, especially since during the ultrasound we saw this huge thingy between the baby’s legs, but the technician wouldn’t confirm…


My DH later figured out that abortions in Canada are possible up until week 24. So it seems that in order to prevent people from doing "gender selection abortions", they do not declare the baby's gender prior to week 24.


Few days later my OB confirmed – it’s a boy. She said not to start buying anything gender related before we hear it twice from her, because she might be wrong...


Here is the little one:
