gender surprise with monthly ultrasounds possible?

[Anonymous]

Hi there, OP here -- yes, PP, very helpful. When my doc first mentioned monthly ultrasounds to me he talked with me about the discussion about ultrasounds. He said that he believes they are no risk to baby, but in order to make sure the benefits outweigh risk, he doesn't do long ultrasounds. (I've only had one, but it was probably about 3-4 minutes, just enough time to measure baby and check on the heartbeat. He also probably let us have a little bit of extra time since it was our first glimpse of the baby.
