does anyone know if you have to do all this for renewing your maid's visa? I am about to renew our maids and never needed all those documents before? Thanks

Good news everyone! I've just seen Dr Nicola in Spinneys. She is opening a clinic in Uptown Mirdif but it wont be ready for a few more weeks so you can get appointments in the meantime with her at Healthbay Clinic on Al Wasl Road (www.healthbayclinic.com or 04 348 7140)

Sorry, but at 12 weeks you can (but not always) see a willie. I agree you cannot always tell as it will depend on the position of the baby at the time of the scan so I agree that your expectations must be realistic or you could be disappointed. The difference in just a week is vast at this stage (ie between 11 and 12 weeks) It will also depend on the skills on the person scanning. A radiographer trained in obstetric scanning can often mistake female gentialia for a penis in these early stages but the question was specifically about Dr Mirza who is highly trained in fetal medicine and scanning and I believe he is pretty accurate most of the time. As a midwife myself who was trained in obstetric scanning, I am pretty sure I know what I saw on my own scan! I accept the point you are making though and the official guidelines is to find out the *** at the 20 week scan (although even then they can be wrong even then) I think (for what an opinion is worth) it is fine to have a scan at 15 weeks when your Mum is here Flordia Girl, but heed the warnings made by others that noone can be 100% sure on a scan. you can't see a willie at 12 weeks, you can see a knobby thing on either a boy or a girl, if the baby is a girl this becomes the clitoris. They can guess based on the angle of it, if you figure that normally you could guess and have a 50% chance of being right even without an ultraosound, then they have about a 70% chance of being right, so still a 30% chance of being wrong. I would recommend not asking any earlier than 15 weeks, because it can actually affect you more than you'd think if they turn out to be wrong. I've just been through this. At 12 weeks the sonographer was sure it was a boy, at 15 weeks different sonographer was unsure (he had previously been very sure at 15 weeks with my first baby), 18 week scan they said girl, 20 week scan plus 3d/4d very sure girl, last scan 23 weeks again sure its a girl so finally I believe them. I'm thrilled to have a girl as have a son already but now I am actually grieving the boy I was imaging having, really wish we had never asked at 12 weeks. Anyway at 15 weeks pretty much if its a boy then they will probably be able to tell (if position is right to have a look). If its a girl they will be less certain, as it could always be the case of a penis that is hiding somewhat so you might have to wait until 19/20 weeks.
