nope but it's now almost 4 hours after her scan!
oh ok thanks Rosie, not sure if thats a good thing or bad thing though?!?
Well...scan went very well. The tech was the sweetest thing ever and really loved that I was surprising my DH for his birthday. My baby was also NOT shy in the least (mighta been the jelly beans I ate not 15 minutes before!). I did cry...but they were tears of joy and possible disbelief...she says we are having a girl! I honestly want to analyze the DVD to bits, I don't truly believe it. She has been a tech for 25 years and said she was 99.9% sure. I just don't know how long it will take to sink in. DH was surprised when he opened his box of balloons. He asked "how I knew." I had to tell him I found out today. Hahaha. He was happy. I am happy. Even though I can't wrap my head around it yet. I am gonna post the video to get others opinions in the ultrasound forum as soon as my husband burns it onto the computer. Thanks so much for all the love ladies!!
That is such fantastic news! <3
May the good streak continue!
Onwards, to more scans, ladies!
Yay! Congrats!!!
If I had my NT scan at 12 1/2 weeks, is that still considered on the early side with plenty of time for a nub to rise? (Just curiously thinking out loud... I'm starting to feel that build up to the scan on Wednesday! Ahhhh!)
Congratulations that's lovely news xx
Congrats!!!! Finally a pink streak!!!
Shell you are Next!
YAYAYAYAY Hotdogz That is wonderful news :cheerteam: If your tech thought girl then Im pretty sure youve got your girl :):):):) let the pink news continue :):)
I think that too. I was measuring 13+1 but I was only 12+1 so I worry about that all the time.. It's hard not to worry but Im sure come Wednesday you'll hear PINK :):) Your tech thought so too so that must be a good sign hun - Cant wait to hear :)Quote:

YAY Hotdogz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats exactly what my tech said.. At the time she said I think its a girl but then as we were about to leave she said "dont go buying anything as I have been wrong this early before" That was enough doubt for me!! Ah well, either way I guess we will find out soon enough.. Then we can find something else to worry about lol
Congratulations, Hotdogz!!! :ballerina: Let this pink trend continue!!!
It's at 9am central time. I am so ridiculously nervous.Quote:

Good luck shell! Try not to be too nervous, I honestly think there is going to be a long streak of pink now, there HAS to be to even out the gender balance, I truly believe we are going to see a very high percentage of pink for the lucky ones left yet to find out gender :)

Woo hoo, hotdogz!! I am so excited for you!! After I saw the 12 week video, I felt fairly certain you had a little girl in the there. ;) But it still feels so good to have it confirmed, I'm sure. Can't wait to see pics of your little cutie!
Congrats Hotdogz!!!
Yay! Congratulations on your sweet little baby girl! I am sooooooooooo happy for you. Enjoy shopping for all the frills and pink!:princess:Quote:

Thanks so much ladies. I even pulled out my sons sono pics from 16 weeks to compare and it's pretty obviously a big difference, we got the classic three lines shot. And the tech even said "I don't say anything if I am not really sure." So she wasn't guessing. I just can't really believe it. Stupid, I know. It felt just like i thought i would at the time of the scan, I was crying and asking "are you sure?" a million times. But now that the dust has settled, its strange how I am not thinking about it any more. It's almost like it hasn't happened...I still am calling the baby "it." I guess I just need more time. it's probably pretty common.
And my nub shot was really girly...but early at 12 weeks even. Baby even measured slight on the 12 week scale (only the 5th percentile). And clearly that nub held strong. So I would say a nub at a measured 13 weeks would be pretty darn accurate. I would eat my shorts if you, surgena, are not having a girl.
And MUCH LUCK and PINK DUST to you Shell!! I will hope you continue the streak of DGs we have had suddenly. It's so hard not to be nervous. I found 15 jelly beans about 20 minutes before the scan worked like a charm. Baby was a dancing machine and showed her goods readily.
Hotdogz it is common. My baby was very asleep and uncooperative at her scan and the tech said girl, I saw the stick straight nub and called it even before she did.. and there was a point she got an in between leg shot and there was nothing there.. but she only saw one angle.. couldn't get the underneath shot so she wouldn't make a complete statement and had us come back. Afterwards I was convinced enough, and so was DH that we went to the party store to get a box filled with pink balloons for my mom and sister. But at the same time I still was in denial.. and that whole week I just couldn't believe it until it was confirmed by an experienced OB at the same place. But after that point I was STILL nervous as I went to get my monthly scans to check on the anterior placenta, and was nervous and had to make sure she was a girl. DH couldn't believe how nervous and in denial I was, but I told him it's VERY common!
I just went and took a peek at your video hotdogz and I think your babies nub looks similar to my bubba's this time!!! Here's hoping :)
Congrats hotdogz!! :)
Good luck and heaps of pink dust your way, Shell!
I did put up my sono video, if anyone cares to look. Thanks Butterfly...I am grateful that you are seeing all girl :) I very much think you are an "expert" when you have been around for a year and have stared down that same shot yourself. Looks like our families are rather similar (my boys are 3 and almost 15months, so similar gaps).
That's a girl !
And I'd trust your tech :) I think most good techs would have you come back if they weren't sure.
Hotdogz, She's a girl, no doubt! You got a freaking AWESOME scan DVD complete with 4D, I'm envious! :)
We couldn't get a DVD.. it was money for that or the gender party. And I love the pics of my little one at 15 wk 3 days, they are my favorite! I urge all my GD friends to get a DVD because it's just so awesome when they are tiny and their whole bodies fit on the screen!
PS I love the age gap, yep my DSes are 18 months apart and they are the BEST of friends! :)
I was pleasantly surprised she charged me half for my scan when I went :)
She said I come so much lol..
Yay congratulations hotdogz amazing news :) fx this pink trend continues!
Good luck today shell I will b stalking xx

Looks like May was the month for having baby girls dammit!! ;)
I've been having a dull crampy ache in my lower right side... like a mild period cramp. Remind me, this is normal, right?
It's been since yesterday evening. Yesterday morning, our road was covered in black ice and I didn't know and walked out like everything was normal, then of course had a "Oh, shit..." moment as I slid and fell on my bottom (more towards the right side... all my weight fell on my right bum cheek! Haa.) I was shaken but felt everything was fine as I literally just fell on my butt and my bump was untouched. I wasn't sore at all from the fall until I woke up this morning. I used the doppler today and baby's fine so think I'm just being paranoid (like always...) The dull cramping is probably just a stretch spurt and just a coincidence it's happening around my slip 'n slide fall!
Oh ouch you poor thing! I was having crampy feelings a week ago, felt just like my period and I worried but all was ok. Now I just seem to be having BH contractions a fair bit but I do remember having them with DS2 early on aswell. Im sure all is ok but if you're worried at all then call your Ob or go to hospital. Better to be safe.
Don't have an OB here... I use a midwife! :) I'm sure I'm fine... I really didn't land hard... and the cramping is just mild and dull... but I work at the hospital so if it persists I'll stick my head in A+E (next to my department, haha) and ask.Quote:

I think I may have to take a step back from this board. Although I'm so happy for those who have gotten their DG (I really am)- its extremely hard for me to read about some of you hearing what I so desperately wanted to hear. Just when I think I may have a good day with no tears, I will come on here and it starts a downward spiral again. I really hope to get to the place where so many of you with opposites have gotten. I admire your peace and happiness.
Maybe it's silly to say, but what I am feeling is as raw as when I first lost my mom this Spring. And to have a mother daughter relationship taken away from me twice in just 7 months is too much for me to take right now. I feel like no one (even in real life) can truly understand what I'm feeling right now because my feelings are complicated with the death of my mom. And I need to figure out this GD before the baby is born (which will be only 1.5 weeks after the 1 year anniversary of my mom's death). I think I was really depending on a little girl to give me something to look forward to. I know it's not this little guy's fault- and all he wants is to be loved. You all know its not about the things I do have- but about the lifetime of experiences I will never have now.
I'm sorry :(. Congrats to all of you who have heard such good news! I'm hoping to be back at some point. Just have to figure this all out first......
