Going to halkidiki in Greece.
Just had the scan and measuring 11w1, so just too small to do the nuchal test. So I have to come back on 18th. What a shame ;)
Anyway here is a pic from today :)
Awww what a little cutie!!!
Ccuuuttee baby Steph have an amazing time !!! Jealous xxx p.s stoked you got that later scan too

Steph, thats a cuty over there :-)
I'm happy for you.
Go get some fun before the baby is comming :-)
What the doctor said? It's a she, right??
My doctor told me at 10 weeks and my best friend also got her baby sex at 10 weeks..wife of my brother also at 10 weeks....Of course they all confirm at 15 but they seemed pretty sure at 10 and thats how it was.
Wow that's early - I won't get that opportunity until 20 weeks unless I pay big bucks! They did look between the legs and said "look there are two legs" and I couldn't see anything between the legs but I guess you wouldn't see anything this early? I'm not sure but I didn't see any "bits"
If you have any more pictures, just email me those. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will see my expert doctor and will ask him to take a look for you.
He is really good.
You have 11 weeks right?
But why you need to pay money so they can tell you the baby sex before?
I dont understand why you can only go at 20 weeks and not before...I can go every week if I want...so different..
MyByC, where do you live? Here in the US, insurance will only pay for a scan at 12 weeks for NC and then at 20 weeks for the anatomy scan, where they will then also tell you your gender. They will do more if you're high risk, but for a normal pregnancy, that's all you get. Of course there are tons of private places that you can go to and pay. We did an early gender scan at 14 weeks with a private place and was charged $100, but she also did a full anatomy scan while she was looking, which is nice because it gave us a bit of peace of mind. The woman who did ours is from the UK and said they are a bit ahead of the US in this department and that she doesn't understand why they won't do gender here at the NC scan, as all the info is there for them to be able to if they wanted. Strange.
Stefk - I see you're in the UK, so it may be different over there, but one thing I found is that here in the US, almost all cheeses have been pasteurized, even bleu and brie, etc. The real risk is from eating unpasteurized cheese, so as ong as it has been, you can eat it, no matter the kind! Here in the US, you have to go to a pretty fancy place to get it unpasteurized as almost all grocery stores and main ****** restaurants only serve pasteurized foods. I didn't know that when I was pregnant with my daughter and gave up some of my favorite foods, but am so happy I don't have to this time :-)
Kitkat, they say your hcg levels are at their highest at 9 weeks, and some theories think that's one of the main causes for MS, so hopefully once you make it through week 9, it will get better for you! I felt that was mostly accurate. I would still have moments here and there in later weeks where it was bad, but for the most part, I felt better overall after about week 10. Good luck!!
ooh crazycat great point on the cheese. I will check whether the ones on sale are pasturised and you are probably right, as a safety point, they probably are.
regarding the scans, in the UK we only get one at around 12 weeks for nuchal testing and one at 20 weeks to check for abnormalities, check the heart, etc etc. The purpose of the 20 week scan isnt to find out the gender and some hospitals wont tell you but I think a lot of them do if you ask. If you want to pay privately some go as early as 14 weeks. Otherwise there is the harmony test from 10 weeks and that is £500. I am not really able to pay these prices so I can wait.
MyByC - I only paid for one photo today because I knew I would be coming back in 2 weeks. I would be really surprised if anyone could tell anything from todays photo but I suppose there are experts out there that can :) - its amazing that you can go every week by the way!!
Crazycatcouple, I live in Romania and I do have an insurrance(which most people not have in here) but at a private clinic and I can go as often as I want.
I heard that even for ovulation doctors dont even want to hear in some other countries but here yes, they do and they help.
I do believe it is important to have a scan at least once/month since there are so many things we miss these days. A friend lost her baby at 12 weeks and she didnt felt anything..no blood, nothing! She went for blood analyse in hospital and meet the doctor on corridor and he said "if you are still here, let's see how baby is doing. I'm free for 5 minutes"....the baby didnt had a heartbeat since 10 weeks...if she would have stayed a few more days, probably she had a intern hemoragy and die...It was bad luck for her to misscariege but also a luck that she meat the doctor ........so I think the system outside is crazy!
Another sad story with a friend this year...she went for natural birth at 39 years old...she waited for last moment..39 weeks came, 40 weeks came...and the water broke...she called her doctor(not a private place) and he said she should go when she has contractions from 10 to 10 min.....and she listend...but when she got to hospital, the baby was dead...got strangled with 2 hours before....SOOOO SAD!
That is because the system is bad.
I do believe from 10 to 20 weeks it's a long distance and doctors dont act proper.
I would pay for a scan if it would not be included in my insurrance, to be honest.
Steph, you payed for the pictures as well? Can I ask how much?
Omg, what a system. At my boy, I could get as many as I wanted at each scan.
Thats so weird.
Not sure how to make this picture bigger. I will try to show my doctor but I dont know. And yes, here most doctors tell you at 10-11 weeks if it's a boy or girl.
I thought outside it's even more advanced but I guess not...
We have to pay for all our scans here and they're so expensive and with our last twins I had to have soooo many as they were really high risk (being mono-mono twins). 😕 Our health system here really sux.Quote:

Cute baby steph. 😊
wow MyByC your country makes every other country look like we are backward and third world! Such amazing treatment you get there. Its true that doctors here dont care about ovulation and wont help (unless you go private and pay a lot of money that is). They dont even listen to me when I tell them that my periods were irregular before I conceived this time and I did not ovulate on day 14 or even the same cycle day each time. So I have had to lie about when my LMP was otherwise they will just go on about the dates being wrong. My doctor didnt even want to help when I said my luteal phase was between 5-9 days this time. I got PG with it so it all turned out fine but I was paying for acupuncture which probably helped. My scan photo was £4 but I only got one because I knew I would be going back. How many weeks are you now? will you be finding out at 10 weeks?
wow mum that does suck that it is mandatory for you to have them and you have to pay!! What if someone couldnt afford to pay, would they just not have them and risk something going wrong - terrible.
I woke up this morning and my boobs seem to be on fire!!! Didnt have this last time.... hope its a temporary thing.
Cute baby steph!
Can't wait to see more pictures when you get back!
I am just recovering from stomach bug/ food poisoning. I never been so sick in my life. It was horrendous. I'm much better but do worry about the baby. Really hope it hasn't affected his/her health. I'm supposed to provide a stool sample but I have nothing left in me! Lol. I have lost 2 kgs! Also the doc has prescribed antibiotics but I'm not sure if its necessary. Anyone else been through something similar? Xx
LaVie, I was in bed for 3 days this weekend with the stomach flu and a horrible headache!!!! It knocked me on my butt! I feel much better now. I didn't go to the dr but I go in tomorrow for my nt scan so hopefully everything is good! I'll be 13 weeks 5 days!

Wow, Romania sounds pretty awesome for having babies :-) And Mum, I can't believe you would have to pay for them out of pocket when it was such high risk! I have a good friend who had mono-mono twins and yes, it is scary and very high risk. Here in the US, insurance will cover anything the doctors deem necessary, so for high risk, it would be covered. It just that you don't get much if you have a relatively uneventful pregnancy. Of course, I think I'd rather have an uneventful pregnancy and get no scans paid for than have reason to be high risk and need them, so I suppose the system is not all bad. At least there is the option to go to a private place for more if you want, and it's not super expensive.
To you ladies with stomach bugs, I hope you feel better and are on the mend! Those are the worst, and being pregnant through one has to be even more so :-(
Lavie and Aoii - so sorry you have been so ill :( hope you are both feeling better and now on the mend. Hope everything is ok with the babsies x
Girls, actually if you go in state hospital(not private) the conditions are miserbale and you actually have to pay the doctors to get attention(but once you put in their pocket 20-30€) then they give you all the attention you need.
And yes, you can go both types of hospitals as many times as you want.
Steph, I am not pregnant. I moved my sway to November. Hope it's my month.
Pls send me a private message with the picture you have closer or more clear. I'll show to my doctor. I dont know if he could help but will try.
Next time get some extra pics :-) anyway...even 4£ it's a lot...for them it's nothing...I dont know why they ask money...
I'm so sorry to hear you ladies feel not so good and I hope all your babies are okay in there. In fact, they are stronger then you would think :-)
Oh Aoii, sorry you have been so ill - sounds even worse than me! I'm feeling much better, thank god. Good luck with your scan tomorrow!
My next scan isn't till mid October. I have been feeling flutters so I'm hoping baby is fine and not affected at all.
Stephk, we have to pay £5 here for one picture! We paid for two but the tec was really sweet and gave us about 6. :-).
Thanks everyone for your best wishes x
Just out of curiosity did this scan at 12 weeks show a boy nub? I'm just trying to be aware of what to look for tomorrow.. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...4723f3cc36.jpg

Hey aoii and lavie sorry you have been so sick that Sucks just as ms is supposed to be lifting!!
Mmmm!! I am totally useless with nubs if I was you and you want to take a peak I would look at confirmed boy/girl nubs there is a whole thread on gender dreaming.
Good luck tomorrow!! Will you ask your tech for a guess? Xxx

Goodluck tomorrow Aoii!
I go for my gender scan tomorrow and i cant be more excited. I doubt i will sleep tonight!! Eeekkk!!
Robin, I know just how you feel :-) I hardly slept a wink the night before ours. I was up all night long thinking about names and the reality of it all. So much fun! Can't wait to hear the results!!
Aoii, is your scan today? Keep us posted!!
How exciting Robin!! Can't wait to hear!! I probably wouldn't sleep either!!

Got to see my baby today. I'm not good at nub shots but if anyone has a guess I'll take it!! The tech was so rude!!http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...99747344f4.jpg

Great baby shot. So cute! Im not very good at nub guesses unfortunately but id recommend posting it under the u/s forums. Those ladies are so helpful! !
Cute baby aoii!! I'm also rubbish at guessing so I'm afraid I'm no help :/
Robin, can't wait to hear the result! Fx for pink :fx:
Super cute baby aoii!! Very round skull which I think is quite girly, but likewise don't really know what I am looking at :) good luck robin pretty sure you will be shopping for pink xxx

Aoii - so cute!!! Yes i am also rubbish at guessing so i would post on the u/s forum. Sorry you had a rude tech, i know they would be rude here too if I asked them to guess or asked for a nub shot or whatever.
Robin - cant wait to hear about your scan! good luck :)
Girl guess with that scan picture x

Omg!!!! So exciting!!! Congrats! Enjoy buying pink!! 😃 how far along are you??
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Not sure if there is any truth to the skull theory but here are all 3 scans around the same time and baby 3 does look different to me... I'm jealous of Robin. I'm only 4 days behind and I can't go in until the 17th.. I'm thinking of calling this other scan place in town and tell them a different due date so they will get me in.. 😉 I just don't know if it's too early?? http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...e313d9a067.jpg
