Ladies due in Sept/Oct/Nov 2012, gather here!

Awe, good luck Mocha! Can't wait to hear!

[Mochagirl]

Oh, and I've been very VERY tempted to call another u/s place that's a little closer to see if they'd see me this weekend. When I was in contact with them before, they were willing to see me at 16W5D (we decided to go with the other place, though, because it's right on the way to my Mom's place), so now of course I've started to wonder whether they'd see me at 16W1D instead, which would be Sunday.... Do you think I'm better to wait? I imagine a scan at 16W5D would be more accurate, right?

[Mochagirl]

Actually, I just looked at their website, and they're not open on Sundays, which would mean I'd have to go Saturday, when I'm exactly 16 weeks. What do you think? Too early? Should I just stick with what I have since I've waited this long already?

I think quite a few of the ladies on here went at 16 weeks (Z, happyheart I think went at 15ish weeks? chocolate) and they were told gender and the gender stayed the same! I think ultrasound machines these days are pretty darn good.

[auroara78]

I'd say go,but I'm prolly a bad influence, I'm living viarcriously thru you having an early gender scan since I can't do early hehe

[Mochagirl]

Oh, you ladies are BAD! Now of course I'm even more tempted. By coincidence, a good friend I hardly ever see lives in the same city as this u/s place - down the street, in fact, so we could visit her at the same time to make the trip worth it (the whole family would likely come since I don't want to have to drive home afterwards in case I'm devastated - the kids won't come into the scan, though, or even know the actual purpose of the trip).

I guess it wouldn't hurt to call them to see what they say. They already thought I was crazy asking for a scan before 18 weeks, they'll probably think I'm completely bonkers wanting one at 16 weeks!

Mocha the place i will go do gender scans from 16 weeks onwards, but when i was pg with DS3 i was going away and asked of they would do it in the 15th week and they agreed too and they told me he was a boy and got a good potty shot also.

Just me being impatient i would go for it I will be booked in for mine as soon as i can...lol!

[Mochagirl]

Well...I called and had no luck. She told me they don't do scans until AFTER the 20 week scan. What's the point of that?? I know that's not true because when I emailed them they said they'd be willing to do one at 16W5D, but I didn't want to get into an argument. I think this is fate telling me to wait until next week to find out.

I had a little bit of a *nightmare* last night, lol. I had a dream that on my ultrasound it showed a boy, and I felt so sad and so crushed (exactly what I said I wouldn't feel) that then in my dream the sonographer said "wait, no I was wrong, I see labia"...LOL Who thinks the word "labia" in their sleep????????

And then I got so excited that it was a baby girl and then my dream bounced to seeing her in this light pink very long ruffly gown (I dont really like lite pink much as a color so...) and she was sleeping so peacefully in her bassiet and then they told me "she's not ready yet! She has to go back in your belly to grow some more" and I said something like, "OK that's fine, at least now I'll know without a doubt she's really all girl."

I guess despite all my good intentions, my heart is really, really set on this baby being a girl.

SIGH.

I really do not want to be heart broken in a few weeks time.

Must have been the night for nightmares!!

I dreamt that we found out the nub on my pics was in fact a leg although did not find out what it was lol
