Thanks.

Hi

When I had my exam back in November, they didnt do this, I think they have stopped doing it in favour of just doing a chest xray. The doctor told me that they can tell by the bones on your chest what sex you are. The medical itself is nothing to worry about though. Good luck!

The only check that I received for that in April was a quick peek down my knickers, the doctor just lifted them momentarily and then put them down. It may be different for men though. I'm sure that you can tell from the x-ray, but a different person deals with the x-ray than the doctor whom you do the rest of the exam with. And also anyone that has done certain sports (particularly to an elite level) has a slightly different bone structure to the norm for their build.

Thanks ladies. I'm feeling a bit more prepared now. Although I won't be having the x-ray as I am pregnant. So maybe my baby notes will be enough but hey, we'll see.

Thanks again!
