Re: [ozmidwifery] Home Gender Prediction Kit

Interesting!  If it is as accurate as they claim, I'm guessing it would be a fairly big seller.  I couldn't see how much it was...only lab costs were US$250 so not cheap but I know a lot of people would pay it out of impatience of having to wait to 16/17 weeks for ultrasound to find out the sex of their baby.  Even though you hear stories all the time of wrong sex via US, people generally seem to think US is 100% necessary and accurate.   Personally, I like to have a 'prize' for having gone thru labour....finding out what I've been carrying all those months :)   And yes, I can see more terminations based on wrong sex.   Regards   Jayne     ----- Original Message ----- From: Kelly @ BellyBelly To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 6:44 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Home Gender Prediction Kit Hello all,   I’ve just been approached by a Journalist for a QLD newspaper asking about a product recently released in the US which can apparently test for the gender of a baby from 5 weeks of pregnancy. I was asked to comment and also asked if there was anyone else who might be able to make a strong comment, either for or against this sort of product and what it might result in – i.e. more terminations? More gender anxiety? A big seller? If anyone knows of someone who would be relevant to comment about gender testing, please let me know or forward this email to them and I will pass on the details of the journalist.
