In a way it was so nice to go for an elective gender scan BEFORE the anatomy scan, that way I wasn't nervous about BOTH things ... health and gender, at the 20 week.
TTC5 almost 15 weeks!!! From a rocky start it is so nice to see this little one coasting into that 2nd trimester and looking good ... and looking like a boy :bigsmile:
ZB loads of women have babes (healthy ones) in their early 40's. If you feel up for it, go for it. My neighbor had one at 42 last year. Her 4th :) And they are planning to have a 5th! But I get it. Heck I'm 33 (nearly 34) and will be 36 IF we have have a 4th ... and I just don't know if I want to do that ... feels like my odds of a healthy nugget AND odds of a boy are both going down as every year passes. So I get it. The reality is odds are still in our favor of healthy babies though!
Yeah, I am hoping to NOT find out gender. The problem is that I have looked at so many u/s pics since the last pregnancy, I can identify the hamburger and the turtle pretty well (in older babies--not good at nubs really). I am afraid I might just SEE it, you know? I will tell the tech to warn me if she is in the "area", so hopefully that will be enough. I am still pretty sure the baby is a girl, but right now I am so consumed with health worries, I haven't had any GD. I really just want the baby to be healthy and normal!Quote:

I got my gestional diabetes test results back and they were a little high, 141 and they want it about 130. Well I am just blow away because I eat very healthy and am right on with my weight. Well I had to do a fasting sugar test where you don't eat or drink anything after 12 midnight and have your blood taken. Well, it came back at 73 which she said is too low!!! And should be more like 100 after the fast....uggh. So, she said I just need to eat more snacks throughout the day. They think I go so long inbetween meals that when I eat my bloodsugar spikes. I just don't get it. I have to go back next week and do another sugar fast blood test.
So, that's me.
When are we to expect another update from girlmom?
Hobber: I am sure you will make the right choice on finding out gender. There is always pros and cons. You just have to figure out was is important/right for you. I am glad we know because I can wash only boy clothes and prepare for him. But at the same time it would have been amazing to have such a great surprise in the delivery room. Had it been a girl.....there is so much cute girl clothes out there right now and healthy really is all that matters.
TTC5: You are not finding out gender right?
WP, weird about your blood sugar test! I hope you next test comes back clear!
Hobber whenever DH and I had the u/s where he found out girl (he still doesn't know I had the early one on my own to find out) we told the tech we just wanted pictures, we didn't want him to tell us in the scan ... so whenever he went there he just told us to close our eyes. I'm sure if you tell your tech you don't want to know they can help you avoid seeing anything.
Crazy about the blood sugar WP! Glad you don't have gest diab though! Now that DH knows did y'all pick a name? It was Gabriel or Gideon right?
Girlmom hope all is well!
That's a good idea, begonia.
Right now GD has really taken a back seat to health worries. :worry: I know I should stop googling. I keep finding scary amnio stories where things go wrong. I just can't decide what to do--I really wish there was another way to find out if the baby was healthy without being invasive! I am so torn. DO I do the amnio and risk the baby, or skip it and risk having a baby with issues? Ugh. I am a mess over this!
WP - after yesterdays scan (see my recent pic in gender determination thread) I think it is a girl so no I am not sure I will now :(
TTC5, I don't think your boy lost his wee-wee. I think he is still a boy!!
