Starting to Freak Myself Out

[RedCanoe]

I had a bunch of scans with DS#3 for a SCH and by 16 weeks his boy bits were unmistakable. Seriously. To me most u/s images just look like blurry blobs but when my tech showed me a potty shot at 16 weeks she didn't have to tell me what that was, lol. So, my point being, although nothing in life is a guarantee, I can't see how an experienced tech would miss boy bits at 17 weeks. You've got a girl in there!

Oh Mocha it's a girl!! All 3 of mine were identified before 17 weeks if it makes you feel any better I hope after your 20 week it sinks in but I think after wanting something so much for so long, it's hard to believe it when it happens so I am sure on some level you won't believe it til you meet her. What a sweet moment that will be

I guess some more reassurance is that there is one Tech so that Tech should have LOTS of experience then! With my 3rd DS we had US at 16weeks and they didnt even need to tell me it was so obvious as she passed over and she wasnt even looking at that area yet! Id go elsewhere in another week to put your mind at ease if your anything like me I wouldnt be able to wait. Good luck!

Thanks, ladies

I bought a couple of girl things yesterday and I felt like such a fraud browsing through the girl section! I've never even let myself look at that stuff before because I found it so painful.

I wish I could go again, but the closest place that does 18 week scans is well over an hour away, and dh would never agree to me paying that much money to hear the same thing again when I'll hear in 3 weeks for free. I just need to try to be patient - not really my strength

I will say, though, that the tech was really confident, telling me she was 100 percent sure it was a girl.

That is me too. I have moment where I really feel like I am "faking" this and actually have to go look at my ultrasound pictures and kind of relive the moments of the first ultrasound where I was 80% sure I saw girl bits and then the second where it was confirmed to assure myself, yes, this really did happen, it's happening!

I have not bought anything. My mom did take me shopping the day I told her but I tried to restrain myself!!

Me too, like I've said before I saw a penis on screen and larger than life at 13 weeks with DS4 and even tho they would not confirm, I'd have had to be be both blind and deluded (instead of just deluded haha) to miss it.

Remember at your earlier scan you didn't really see anything?? I think not seeing anything at the early scan and then being told 100% girl at the second scan is prettymuch a solid lock!!

I wonder how many of the people who got ultrasound opposites were really told 100%, KWIM??

That's it huni, it's your girl!

Mocha, I know you are going to worry, but try not to. I am sure this is your long-awaited daughter!!

Mocha, I think we need to see some pictures of the baby girl stuff you bought

I bet she'll look soooo cute wearing them!
