    It's the exact same as a normal scan, don't be worried, the girl going into labour was just a coincidence.

    Also, just a note, could you please go easy on the text speak, it makes it difficult to read for other people. Thanks :) Good luck tomorrow.

    I got gender determination scans on mine - it was just an ultrasound and the sonographer(?) was able to explain to me how she determined the sex of our children.

    Relax, therte is no hard associated with scans. In all the years they have been doing them and all the reserch done on them, there is no evidence to suggest that they harm baby. I was told this by my midwife and doctor when pregnnant as i had to have scans every two weeks for a months and i asked the doc would it be safe for the baby to have all those exyra scans on top of the normal ones and that is what he told me. What happend to this friend of yours was a total coincidence. And the gender scan is the same as any other scan you have had. All they are doing is seeing if they can see the sex of the baby.. Its just a normal scan. Enjoy it and dont worry!
