**NEW US THREAD ***

[WineNChocolate]

Sorry ladies...the other one is longer than the first....sooooo since most are getting close to NT scans and soon gender reveals. I thought I would start a new.

I am at my 13 week check up and terrified a Lil. I hope my squish is in there still. :eek:

[kaydee0402]

WineNChocolate, hugs! I'm sure everything will be great!

[lastnamewithheld]

WineNChocolate, I hope you have a great appointment!!

[WineNChocolate]

No real update..doc is behind sitting here waiting. With a lady who brought in her 2 year old. Her mom is obviously going through a check on the new one..older child screaming. Lol, why we don't bring DD.

[sdgal]

Good luck at your appt WineNChocolate,

I have one this afternoon as well. I also hope Mr. Squish is still there.

[WineNChocolate]

Hey ladies...so I thought i was getting a sneak peak but not till my appointment tomorrow. But we have a 156HB so thats good! Tune in tomorrow for pictures of the squish.

[hmr11913]

Hope your appointment goes well today WineNChocolate! I get to see our squish Friday!!!!!

[sdgal]

No ultrasound for me yesterday. But I did get to hear the heartbeat at 150-155, which my doctor said is consistent with having a boy.

[WineNChocolate]

Soo NT scan was spot in great. And we got to see fingers and toes and hands and feet. This one does not move as much as my DD. She was not as cooperative. The asked if I wanted to take a sneak peek. And well she cant sign off on it but...

ITS A BOY! whoop one for one. Phew!



sdgal yeah labor date twins and both boys!! Oh and our HB was 156.

[sdgal]

Congrats WineNChocolate!!! I had a feeling you were Team Blue after yesterdays 156HB

[requiressnacks]

Congrats on your baby boy, WineNChocolate!

Is there really any science behind this low HB = boy thing? I'm just curious.

[legalbeagle]

Yay for great appointments WineNChocolate and sdgal!

My doctor said yesterday that it seems to be a trend that boys are in the 150's and girls are higher in the 160-170 range. But she said its not a proven science.

I wouldn't paint any nursery based on just the HB.

[WineNChocolate]

@requiresnacks DD was 160. Soo I am following the trend.

[fikafairy67]

I have an NT scan this afternoon at 4:30pm. Based on my bloodwork issues (that STILL haven't been resolved) I last-minute requested all of the screening they can offer me.

I'm really excited to get another peek, and hope they will humor me to try and guess what the gender is. I'm just so anxious about this stupid Kell thing that I'm not as excited as I probably would be normally.

[requiressnacks]

That's interesting, sdgal and WineNChocolate! They didn't measure HB for me yesterday so I am so curious! At my NT scan, both babies HBs were I the high 150's.

[WineNChocolate]

requiressnacks maybe two boys..but twins might change things.

fikafairy67 I hope everything goes as planned!!

[fikafairy67]

Everything went well with the NT scan! Still no idea what team we might be, stinker was backwards and bouncing around so much they had a hard time getting the measurements they needed anyway, much less trying to sneak a peek.

I will post a photo soon! HB was 157

I pick boy!

[fikafairy67]

I'm still thinking girl, even though the HR was 157. DS hung out in the 140s most of the time!

Awe look at the baby! So sweet! I hope it's a girl for you!

[emilie]

My girl had a HB of 138 at our last u/s....hasn't the whole HB/sex thing been debunked?

[WineNChocolate]

Hey ladies my Lil one sys hello! See him waving.



And well the arrow tells all it is a boy for sure.

[mrswillie]

WineNChocolate he's so cute! I can't wait for my a/s and some fun pics.

I think most of the gender predictors have been debunked. My girl has had a HB of 155 all along. My last girl held steady around 140.

"Hey, ladies!"

So fun to see all of these little babies!

I'm trying not to let my nerves get the best of me for our anatomy scan next week. My practice's policy is to send all patients to a specialist for the anatomy scan, so I have no idea what to expect. The ultrasound tech at the office is so reassuring and always talks me through everything, so I really hope the specialist does the same thing.

I haven't had my anatomy scan yet, but I had to go to the fetal medicine specialist for my NT scan and I will be going back for the a/s. I actually loved going to the specialists office because they took so much time going over the scan and reviewing every little thing. I think the anatomy scan is a longer/more detailed u/s too, so hopefully you'll get to see more of the little one!

[lola]

emilie, That's good to hear! My husband said the same thing, that with a specialist, they're probably more likely to take EXTRA care at setting moms at ease.

[sdgal]

You guys are lucky with your specialist for your scans. I will also go to a "specialist" for our anatomy scan but since they aren't a doctor, I don't think they can tell us anything at the scan. They just send all the pictures to your doctor for review.

But I never had the NT scan, so I really don't know. My office doesn't do the NT scan if you do the NIPT.
