Question for #AUStriches - have you ever heard of parents-to-be being refused and being told they’re ‘not allowed to say’ when they ask for the gender of their unborn child at an ultrasound?

Happened to friends in Sydney this week.

I believe the person doing the ultrasound is not allowed to say, if it's not the obstetrician. Some new practice?

Partner a few months ago had a similar issue where the sonographer doing an ultrasound couldn't (wouldn't?) provide details and it was the GP who revealed findings.

So strange. Isn’t the sonographer is supposed to be ‘the expert’ in that loop, why does the message need to filter through a GP?

You would think hey! Perhaps, in the event the news is unsatisfactory, the GP is more well eqipped to handle trauma or other difficult conversations? My best guess 🤷

Next they’ll require only psychiatrists give the news because they’re the only ones qualified to handle emotions 🙄

and you have to go through a huge long questionaire and waitlist to get one.

and that is all mandatory to have children, ofc. otherwise you will be put in jail and your children separated from you and put in foster homes to provide meat for our benefactors.
