The flattest nub ever?

You can always ask for another one based on the fact that the tech has you concerned about things that maybe he shoudn't have brought up. I don't think a tech should have said girl when gender can not be confirmed until after a certain time. And here they are not allowed to bring up a concern of Downs' to you and can only tell your Dr. that they need to do future scans for several weeks.

Tell your Dr that the tech was very unprofessional and upset you a lot and you want to confirm a healthy baby!

I'm sorry he put you in a panic :( I think the blood test would put your mind at ease. I would definitely do the amnio if you are questioning any of the tests. I had one with DS1 because of pre-term labor, I was freaked out but it really wasn't that bad.
I also feel the same as you in regards to keeping the baby as shameful as it is to say :HH:

I know those results often come false, thank you for sharing your experience! :heart:

The results just give you odds. Only an amnio can confirm. I would not carry a baby with serious defects to teen either. Downs babies often have severe heart defects that require multiple surgeries.

It's a decision you make for the siblings too. Us parents do not live forever and at some point the existing kids will have to take over. It's a big decision.

I'm sorry you've had to go through all this, z-b. That tech definitely needs to be smacked.

ZB, I don't know anything about nubs, but I hope everything is okay with your baby! I am worried about that same stuff--I am also 39, and I have been worried about what my scan will show... :worry:

I agree, if you are worried, ask for another scan!! ANd if you are not comfortable with an amnio, that is your decision. Can you get a CVS where you are? That is what I am looking into right now.

I agree, the picture looks so stretched out.

I hope that you have a healthy little baby cooking in there :)

I don't see a nub in either shot, but I hope all is well with your baby!

No gender clues and I hope everything is well with your baby, Good luck.

Can't see a nub. I hope everything is ok, am sure it is xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
