September 2013 babies!!

[Thorz300]

Ok I am really upset and don't know what to do. This weekend I had some bleeding and BAD cramping and had to go in and get checked. Because it was a significant amount of blood they sent me off for an ultrasound. First and formost baby is fine and they think its because I have partial placenta previa, but don't believe it will be a problem, they say it should correct itself, and I believe them because the same thing happened with DS2 and it indeed corrected itself and slowly moved up. So that is the good news....Baby is FINE!! I'm so upset though because during the scan the tech asked me if I wanted her to peak between the legs. I told her sure, but that I already found out the gender a week ago. She said "according to our records you would have been 14 weeks 5 days, and you cant trust a scan that early" I never told her that they told me boy at the last scan. Anyhow, she went ahead and took a look, and I thought I saw the same "boy bits" that I saw at the first scan, they hadn't changed or grown at all which surprised me, I thought it would be even MORE obvious as it had been a week and a day later. The tech said it looked to her like swollen girl parts, and she would give a 75%-85% girl guess!!!!! WHAT????? I told her they told me boy a week earlier, and she responded, "Thats why I tell people the should NEVER get a gender scan before 16 weeks!"

I really wish I would have told her not to look!!! I am upset that I now have a glimmer of hope for a girl! I know in my heart that I cannot be that lucky as to have it actually be a girl, so instead of being happy and excited I'm MAD, not mad because it might be a girl, mad because I feel like this is an unnecessary emotional roller coaster. I'm trying my hardest to not let what she said get my hopes up, but how can I possibly not let it give me hope????

I'm going to continue with my boy nursery plans because it is going to be a pretty neutral nursery and only accents will be green so I just wont do the accents in the room until my 20 week scan next month!!! UGH, she didn't print out any pics for me because it was not a gender scan it was only to check on health of the baby!!!!

I don't know what to do or how to feel. I think its probably best to try to protect my heart and believe its a boy!

Wow Thorz, that is crazy!! I don't even know what to say. I'm glad the baby is looking healthy and I pray you find out once and for all what gender you are carrying. I can't imagine how frustrated you must be feeling. Your nursery sounds lovely and I can't wait to see pictures!

Just been for scan consultant is worried baby may have brain damage off to st George's for the specialist tomorrow :-(

[Thorz300]

Oh NO fish!!!!! I'm so sorry! What makes them think that? I really hope everything turns out ok my prayers are with you!!!!!

[shiningstar]

I'm praying for your Fish!!! We had a scare like that with ds1 and everything turned out fine.

[Longingforgirl]

OMG Fish I cannot believe this! I have to ask as well - what makes them think so?? You and your girl are in my prayers. I so hope it will be some false alarm. Waiting till tomorrow seems like torture. My fingers are crossed for you... hoping for good news tomorrow. You have been through enough already...

[atomic sagebrush]

What??? Thinking of you fish!! and positive thoughts headed your way.

[fish2012]

Baby has calcification on her brain maybe due to me having a virus in which case will be ok, maybe that its from toxins from the other twin may be something else he could nt say ;-(

[fish2012]
