Ultrasound Thread Jan 12-18

[jedimomtricks]

I want one. I have no reason for one until 20 weeks...but the want is strong with this one. I want to see my nugget.

[abvintage]

Not to clog this up but I have an integrated screening tomorrow so I will have an ultrasound. I'm excited but to be honest I'm nervous they are going to tell me the sex already. MY SIL found out with her 1st at 13 weeks and I'm just not ready yet (i'll be closer to 12 weeks)! I absolutely know that they will PROBABLY not but I'm still afraid of that off chance that it could happen.

Duuuude I'd love to know in advance. I've got two boys already and I want to know if I need to get girl clothes or not. I know, so very unimportant, but it's on my mind an embarrassing amount.

We have all boys in the family so we're secretly hoping for a girl, but if they call it this early it normally means boy. I LOVE my nephews and I know I will love being a mama to a little boy but we would like to be the first to introduce a girl to the family. That's incredibly stupid but it's true.

I hear you. I obviously love my boys, they are amazing and I would adore having all boys and getting to be queen of my castle for LYFE, but I'd also love to train up a little feminist and teach her my ways

ETA: not that my boys can't/won't be feminists. They totally will.

I had my first ultrasound today! Perfect little cashew nut measuring right on and with a heartbeat of 180bpm. I'm so relieved!

I am AMA so having blood work done for genetic testing at 10 weeks that should tell us sex by 12 weeks. I can't wait! Not that I care either way, but I'm excited to know. I think it will be so cool to announce to everyone that we are pregnant with a boy/girl. We won't tell anyone until full genetic testing is back because we are paranoid that way so I think it will be so fun.

It's weird. I have one boy, so before we started trying, I just assumed our next one would be a boy. Like, my body would only carry boys for some reason. Now, I'm feeling girl. Hard. I can barely remember the boy names I picked out at this point.

Ahhhh! Words cannot express how excited I am to find out the sex early. I am the most impatient human on the planet. It is literally the only good side of carrying hemophilia, lol, I get to find out what I'm having at week 12.

[telos]

First ultrasound today!! Measuring two days ahead - 10w4d, but we're keeping the due date. I'm so elated, and in love.

[ampaints]

My husband couldn't go to the ultrasound yesterday (it was my third with my RE) and I just realized this morning after he'd left that I didn't even show him the pictures! All of my coworkers saw them, but not my husband. In my defense it was late when I got home and I had a burrito calling my name!

All sense goes out the window when burritos are involved.

No u/s for me this week but just wanted to say that I'm anxious to find out the sex as well.  I want another girl for material reasons because DD had reflux so there are a lot of cute clothes I never put on her because she'd just spit up all over them.  I have everything I need for another girl!

We had our u/s yesterday, saw a waving and kicking nubblet. It was the most adorable thing ever, and I'm not a fan of ultrasound baby pics. Everyone is pushing that this one should be a girl (because I can control that you know), so I am overly defensive and "I THINK IT'S A BOY!!!" all the time. I'd love a girl, but I'd also love a second boy. I'm just getting so effing tired of the commentary and weighing in on what genitalia my child ought to have.

/end rant. Today has been a long day, time to drown myself in ice cream.

[lindy]

Mine is Tuesday and after not being able to find the heartbeat today on the Doppler it needs to be here now.

[heavenwhip]

I'm probably not going to get an ultrasound until 20 weeks. I really wish I could see this little bean sprout as early as you guys in the states do. In Canada they usually do early us for high risk or multiples only. So maybe I should stfu and count my blessings right.

[abvintage]

Woot woot! Got back from my integrated screening / NT scan. Tech said the baby was "feisty". I have no idea where they would have gotten that.

[lulurm]

We had our 3rd u/s today! Our LO is growing nicely (he/she is actually measuring 3 days ahead), and was VERY active, which was fun to watch! I described it as a "jazzersizing gummy bear" to DH (who couldn't make the appointment). HR was 170.

...my PgAL brain is finally quieting, but I don't want to let me guard down!! Congrats to all the other Jan 12-18 u/s moms!!

I'm the only girl in a family of boys and my husband also only has brothers. I was so excited to have a girl last time, and I must admit that even this time around I'm hoping for a girl because I've just never experienced the whole sister thing (it always seemed so special and mysterious to me). So much so that I'm tempted to find out just so I can adjust my thoughts around everything in case we have a boy. In the long run, I'd be thrilled either way, but I'd need some time to re-work the mental image I have of our future family. I think we're still not finding out, so I should get my act together anyways.

I want an U/S right this minute!! Especially after seeing abvintage pictures. I have to wait until Monday.

Had a dating ultrasound Monday and I go back tomorrow morning to try and get some better measurements. I'm bouncing between boards since my lmp was oct. 3rd but baby (for the half a second it sat still and the doctor got a super quick measurement) is measuring 10 weeks 2 days.
