My 12 week scan in is 1 week and I am getting anxious as hell! With all my other kids I couldn't wait for the 12 week and couldn't wait to find out (then always cried in the room when the doctor's told me boy).Quote:

Between their "guess" and the pics, it will be pretty indicative of whats brewing it there.
My dh doesn't want to know - he's not going with me my mother is. I don't think I'll give him the clue, but he'll find out later down the road for sure. He honestly couldn't care less either way. He wants a girl for me - cause he knows how badly I've wanted this and he just wants my desires to be over. I think selfishly he doesn't want to find out because he doesn't want to deal with me if I find out its a boy.
I could have written this myself.Quote:

My youngest is starting preschool in Sept. I was right there -- all 3 of my boys will be in school all day and I can finally have the oppertunity to do something for myself. I got married and had my 1st son right out of college so young at 22 and now that I'll be 32 I feel like I have no identity other than wife and mother. That's all that defines who I am because that's all I've ever done.
I desperately want a daughter and thats why I did high tech over and over again. When it just wasn't working I was unsure. I felt I couldn't just leave things as they were when I was struggling & fighting for baby #4 to come for so long. I felt like because God had seen how much I cried and all the heartache and how badly I wanted it that he would just bless me with a daughter. Now I just feel foolish. It doesn't work that way, does it? This very likely could be a boy and here I am with a 5 1/2, 7 1/2 and 9 year old starting all over again. Like you said Mum, for a girl it would be all worth it; but to start all over for another boy makes me second guess having gotten pg again.
My gf's sil had 2 boys and got pg with #3 last year. When she had her u/s she found out girl and when I received the text I just started to cry uncontrollably. I just felt like I will never have that moment, that moment when they tell me "its a girl!". I have imagined that in my head over and over. I have imagined the birth of a daughter, holding her, feeding her -- everything. But the hardest part is knowing thats all in my head, its all a dream and most likely that's all it will ever be. I hate to say this but I can't help but feel like its so unfair that other get to experience that incredible joy and I never will.
My little man said to me at breakfast this morning..."mommy, what if there's a beautiful baby girl in your belly?" It melted my heart. "I said Dylan, you have no idea how wonderful that would be..."
20 weeks today, and 20 week scan. Little man is on target for growth and all looks well. He was curled up asleep with his hand up by his face so was difficult to measure, regardless of the walking and jumping. Wanted to check for cleft lip and he was snuggled up right in front of the cord and didn't want to move, could only see half of his nose and mouth. The sonographer didn't seem very worried at all but wants me to come back for a rescan in a couple of weeks just to be certain. Hopefully she'll be able to get a decent look next time. Stubborn little sausage...
AFM the placenta was a little on the lower side. Not placenta previa by a long shot, just lower than their protocol. Again, she wasn't worried but they want to recheck, by then hopefully the position should improve.
I'm glad all is well bunny, it's great to know they are healthy! :)
PFP, good luck with your 12 week scan. I am really keeping my fingers crossed for you.
My Doctor just called saying they found an antibody in my blood. He's talking greek as I have no idea what that means, he told me to go there and he will explain but not to panic. Has anyone heard of it? A bit worried now :(
PFP good luck on your scan fingers crossed for you till than!
Aidansmum I do not know what that means but I'm hoping & praying its not a big thing. Keep us posted until than praying for you!
It turned out they found an antibody but don't know which as blood was insuficient, so I had some more drawn and they will find out what antibody it is. the Doctor said the antibody is weak so he's not concerned, that the worst that can happen in this case is that the baby can be born with a bit of jaundice, but he will monitor me and have blood drawn every 4 weeks to make sure it's not getting worse. :rolleyes:
Pfp best of luck with your scan :)
Aidansmum glad it's nothing serious with your little girl.
Afm I have a scan on fri which will hopefully confirm my panorama results. Can't completely accept I'm having a girl until I see it with my own eyes!

Hi girls, just came back from my 12 week scan, everything looked good, baby was active and kicking the entire time. Dr was concerned about the heart rate, baby was high at 190 so he wants me to come back for a 20 week scan and everything! I am still bleeding heavily and have been having nightmares of baby not being viable but all is good :) Here is the nub I got!
