Change the rules on men being allowed to find out the Gender of THEIR baby.
I would like the UK Government to work with the NHS to change the rules on men being allowed to find out the gender of their baby with the babies mothers permission.
My wife is currently pregnant with our third child. I have recently been to a scan having not being allowed due to COVID-19 restrictions, my wife asked the Sonographer to tell me the gender of OUR child. The sonographer told us that they are not allowed to tell anyone but the Mother the gender.
I think it should be changed as I feel the fathers should have just as much right as mothers do. My wife was also not happy about this as she did not want to find out but was happy for me too find out.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about how to give the results of medical tests to patients and their partners are a matter for the NHS, not the UK Government or Parliament.
