How many weeks did bub measure Jark?
Suregena - Id be pushing for a 12week scan....just because you had an earlier one, doesn't negate your right to a NT scan, your earlier one was to make sure your baby is ok, this one if to check for Downs, so they can't not give you one just because you had an earlier viability scan.
I think it will give you peace of mind especially if you are still getting spotting...
I'd approach it one of 2 ways..
- Push for the scan for the NT reasons, you want this test done becuase you and hubby need to know about any potential chromosomal issues, dont mention the spotting becuase they they might think you only want the scan to see the baby, not for the NT purposes and they might say no. Say that the stress levels of NOT having the NT check done exceed the stress levels of getting a high risk result, and that you want to be prepared.
- Say that the you are getting lots of cramping, lots of spotting and are concerned, lay it on if you want, but if you take that approach they might dig their heels in and so no...
I reckon you go with the first approach and push for a NT for the purpose of the NT and then they really cant refuse.
I personally think its a very important test, and if i had absolutely NO worries about miscarriage, and absolutely NO inclination to get any gender clues, I would STILL be getting an NT scan for its very specific purpose..
Good luck - let us know how you go!
Beautiful baby, Jark!
Thanks everyone! I'm in love already :). She didn't tell me how many weeks the baby measured........but according to my very accurate calculations I am 12 weeks 5 days :)
Cute baby! Glad it went well!
Such a darlin' little thing, Jark!! Cutest little button nose...I can see why you're in love. :) congratulations on a healthy, active baby! Looks kinda girly to me, but you never know! ;)
Having a horrible day. Finally feeling a few movements but I can't shake the feeling something is wrong with this babe.
Jark, your baby is adorable!
Rosie - call the dr? Id rather you go in and make sure ok than not and something happen
I'm so irritated with my cousins fb posts. All she posts about is her pregnancy and how nice her hair is now or how great she feels etc etc. and all I do is throw up all day long. Ughhhh
spinning that reminds me of that movie What to expect when your expecting, have you seen it? Its so funny and the woman who breezes through pregnancy ends up with with the hardest twins :)
Rosie feeling movements is a good sign, why would you feel like something is wrong?

It's just a feeling I can't shake. I talked to dco about it and he said baby is fine, if something was wrong I would know. ummmm. So guess I have to wait until the ultrasound in a few weeks.
Having a cold isnt going to hurt bubs is it?
I've had a nasty cold the last 4 days...no fever thank goodness, just a sore head, sore throat, sneezing and runny nose.
Having lots of fruit for nutrients, and took some paracetamol to make sure i dont get a fever...
Just wanted to make sure that having this cold wont harm baby?
Colds are not harmful. I had one with my other two. I also had one this time around. It is infection and fever that can be harmful so keep an eye on it...watch for fever and at first sign you are suppose to take a fever reducer. It is impossible to avoid getting some form of illness and if colds were harmful to a fetus I think everyone's baby would be born with issues since almost every pregnant woman gets a cold at some point!
Yeah colds are fine it's the fever that's the issue. Which you have taken Care of.
I haven't seen the movie but I want to now lol!
Rosie - just pay attention to movements and if they stop or lessen maybe insist on being seen? How far along are you? (I don't see the tickers on my phone)
about 18 weeks. I can't really feel him move much since my placenta is anterior. I don't really feel like he is going to pass or anything... just feel like something else is wrong. Hard to explain.
Thanks girls - nothing like some reassurance :)
have you had your anomaly scan scan?Quote:

bugger :( Any chance you can move it forward? make up some excuse!Quote:

Try and think positive - easier said then done, i know, but it really is the only thing you can do...
really hope everything is ok with bubba!
Thanks lassie, I hope you are right and it's just intense fear getting the best of me.
Hi ladies! Hoping everyone had a good weekend.
3M is your scan Thursday? What time? Mine is tomorrow morning at 10:20 and I am so nervous. Are you feeling baby move yet? I have maybe felt a few nudges but nothing definitive yet and it has me on edge. DS3 I believe I was feeling by now, but I'm nit entirely sure. Here's hoping some pink dust came both of our ways!
Goodluck tomorrow winngrin, is it a gender scan you are having?
Hi ladies, I too have my 20 week scan at 2pm tomorrow and am petrified so its good to hear I'm not the only one! Winngrin do you know what you're having? We haven't found out yet and I'm so scared that I'll see something I'm not ready to see on the screen as I've studied so many ultrasound pictures I know what to look for now, argh! Still unsure whether to just find out tomorrow or not really...?
Thanks so much for remembering my scan Winngrin. That means a lot. My appt is at 4:30pm est on Thursday. I can't believe in 2 days I'll know what I'm having. I'm trying to really prep myself to hear boy, but my imagination keeps running wild, and I'm thinking pink a lot too!!! I've looked at what seems like millions of u/s pics even though I had no gender clues on my nt pics...lol. I have 2 days to live in the unknown before my family makeup changes FOREVER!!! hahahaQuote:

I just want to know its alive and growing... and to peek at the nub if I can spot it....
Happy election day to those in the U.S. Today is also DS2's b-day and I think I have pink eye :( . I have a follow-up elective scan on Thursday too. When I went 2 weeks ago, she was running so late that I only had enough time for her to look at gender and that was it. So she said I could come back when I wanted to finish up the session. Is it crazy of me to be wishing and hoping that somehow my obvious boy pic will turn into a girl????
Not crazy at all Beachy! I am convinced mine is a boy after studying Ramzi's theory like a mad woman for weeks which is why I just can't take the plunge and find out for sure! If your picture on here is your current pregnancy it looks like a girly skull to me so that makes me question that theory too? Happy birthday to your precious boy today, boys are just so delicious though aren't they ;)
I was reading ramzi theory the beginning of this pregnancy and i saw more opposites than not..
My impatient self called another scan place that I've been to before, and I have a gender scan today at 1:30!!!!
good luck tomorrow 3men & winnigrin...may you both hear PINK!!!
Beachy, it's not wrong to have hope....I was just thinking the same thing as I read your post, before you said...is it bad to have hope that it's changed? I really hope you just enjoy the scan and bond with your cute little baby...he is going to be so adorable!
Rosie, I hope your baby is OK. I didn't feel Lillian move much until 22+ weeks because I also had an anterior placenta. I hope it's just nerves.
Jark, cute little baby!!
Yes, election day finally!!! Voted by mail weeks ago and ready to move on..
Beachy~ Happy birthday to your DS! Oh no, sorry about the possible pink eye, hope it's not but whatever is going on I hope you get better soon.
Good luck today and pink thoughts Winn and Threemen!!!
I can't believe in less than 3 hours I will know what this baby is!!!!
