September 2013 babies!!

[Thorz300]

I don't understand the system here either and I feel lost! I want to go back home to Utah and have this baby!! LOL this is my first baby in Ohio, so I just had to go through my insurance to find an OB I LOVED my DR for all my other babies! I really want to switch dr's but I don't know where to turn and feel like I'll just keep having the same problem. I don't want to bounce around to a bunch of different docs. I actually like the dr I am seeing, I just don't like the system the clinic has. As luck would have it, my poor baby seems to be coming down with something, so I have to cancel my scan for tomorrow anyway, I may just conveniently be un available for the next 3 weeks because of sick kids!!!!

OMG Fish, twins! The last nub definitely looks girly. And aren't B/B fraternal twins the least common combination? You're bound to have at least one girl in there.

Thorz, I know someone who had GBB and *knew* her last was a girl because she'd dreamt about her and because her DH was sure and he'd been right with the other three. Well, of course, she had a third boy. I'll accept that some women do have a sense of what they're having (although with a 50% chance of being right it's not hard to be right) but once we have a preferred gender I reckon that intuition gets skewed. I had loads of dreams about DD3 being a boy and of course she's a very cute little miss.

Salsa, I'm in Aussie too. What time tomorrow is your nuchal?

Hi Mum to three girls, its at 10am WA time. So anxious. I was never this anxious with my others, I dont know why Im suddenly stressing. I just feel Ive had such a bad run with sicknesses I hope the bubs is all ok and healthy in there!!

Ugh I am so very frustrated, I went to my appt this morning only to find out that it was just for blood and paper work and that I have to go back tomorrow for the ultrasound! I'm bugged because they should have told me that a head of time that they were two separate appts, now I have to try and find a babysitter for all 3 of my little boys in less than 24 hours. The thing I am most bummed about though is apparently they do not do a 12 week scan. I will have one done tomorrow (9w4days) and then not again until my 20 week scan! I wont even get the chance to nub guess! I wonder what my dr will do if I cancel my ultrasound tomorrow, and then tell her that I wont be able to reschedule for 2 weeks! There is a thought!

How disappointing! Can you go to an independant place for your 12 week scan? Your doc should give you a referral if you ask for one. Its your right to know what is going on in your own pregnancy. And if you want to test for downs etc then you should be able to, even if your doc doesnt routinely do that. You still have time to sort it out, you have up until 13wks and 5 days to do the scan. If you do get your doc to refer you, make sure he also refers you for bloods to be taken in conjunction with the scan. They then use your maternal age, your bloodwork AND the scan NT measurment to put into a formula and it spits out a probability of risk. Hope that all makes sense. Just wanting to make sure that if he doesnt routinely do it, he knows what you need!! Good luck x x

Salsa any news? Never heard the me them thing sure you'll be fine xx

Thank you, Scan is in a little over 2 hrs. Will update when I get back!! Still not sure if I'll ask for a nub shot.... Not sure I can cope with the obsessing! haha And we arent finding out at all for the whole pregnancy!!! So I think its just best to not have an image I can totally stress over for the next 6 months! haha we'll see x

[Wanting-a-girl]

Don't get one salsa! Lol I didn't want one but ended having one.... No obsessing today for me I am just taking the nub as a grain of salt so I don't set myself up for dissapointment.... I have my name picked for a boy and havnt looked at anything to do with a girl lol

[Mum to three girls]

How was your scan today Salsa?

[Salsa]

Hi girls!! Sorry for such a late reply!! As soon as I had scan I had to pick up my 2 yr old from pre kindy, then off to swimming lessons with all the kids!!
Ahhhh scan went really well. Baby is perfect and so cute... I didnt want a nub but guess what???!!!!! I got one AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! let the obsessing begin lol!

I'll put it in the ultrasound section too but what do you all think??
I think its parallel to the spine even though it looks angled up, the spine is quite curled.

What do you reckon???
12wks and 4 days...

Very girly nub. I hope mine DOESN'T look like that.

[Northern_Shutterbug]

I think that looks like a girly nub and skull! I'm no expert though!

[Salsa]

Very girly nub. I hope mine DOESN'T look like that.

When do you go for yours?? I soooooo dont want to get my hopes up! I know 13 weeks is a better time to make a guess.... Im trying to play it down, but I can already feel a few pangs of excitement!
