Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[meeks32]

Hi ladies. No news just regular OB appointment heartbeat great but no proper scan till 22 weeks. We saw a head, heart and legs as he zoomed in on the heartbeat but not clues. The doc is lovely but the receptionist is a bit dizzy hence the confusion.

Thinking of you GeCOn.

oh what an anticlimax for you (and us!!). How many weeks until 22 weeks? I cant see signatures and never get time on the real computer.

Awwwww sorry Em! What a letdown! Glad to hear baby is doing well though

Emily - What a bummer! So sorry! 2 more weeks, it looks like...looking forward to hearing your news then.

Ladybugs - GL tomorrow! Will pray for your sweet baby and that all is well. Can't wait to hear!

Meeks - Have you decided to try to find out on the 27th?? I would totally do it!

AFM - Trying to keep my chin up, and trying to stay off google! Not feeling so hot these days. Feeling sick, almost worse than early on. Still not to the point of needing to throw up, just nauseous. Also, NASTY taste in my mouth, and certain things I eat taste weird, almost like chemicals. Yuck.

haha sorry, rainbows and ladybugs are similar metaphors in my mind! lol

I like that thought meeks!!!!! I also am having a rainbow baby....the metaphors are so sweet...now all we need are little emoticons like hotmail!!

Emily, what a shame that you didn't get to find out. Has the new appointment been made yet?

Ladybugs, I'll say it again. Good luck with your rather long appointment today and fingers crossed it will bring you all the answers you are hoping for.

Aww......a few more weeks now Did you get any pix of baby? How was the OB?

No pix either. OB was nice and also positive about having the baby here. He checked the heartbeat on a monitor but made it clear we would not be having a scan this time. As he was moving around we got a quick glimpse of bits of the baby - lovely long legs The person who does the scans is a tech and uses 4D (?) at 22 weeks. What is 4D? I guess it means the equipment is good and at 22 weeks the gender should be clear. There is no way i could have stayed team green or got him to write it down! I zoomed in straight away looking for clues!

We will tell the boys what they are getting as soon as we know. I think it will help them bond and they need certainty at the moment.

Sorry for keeping you all waiting We went out till late and my phone here doesnt save my password etc for this website. No appointmnet date yet as the secretary had to contact the tech who was not working last night. In roughly 2 weeks time.

I will be at my friend's place later today and will not be able to be on genderdreaming....but I will get Dream to give you the update on it all. Thanks again Dream...you rock!

Emily....I am glad you got an appt..too bad about the miscommunication, but I bet your wee baby was lovely!!!

Myrainbowgirl...I have been waiting for a rainbow, but we only had a sprinkle of rain on the bus ride...it would have been a great sign!!!!

AFM....only 3 more hours until the start of the appt....and a long day! Baby had been kicking so much yesterday...calmer right now, but I was enjoying the tapping away yesterday.

Emily, glad your little one is doing well, it's always lovely to hear the heartbeat and see them even if its just a glimpse! I always cry when I hear the heartbeat, something magical about it!
Did you feel more confident about the thought of giving birth there? I think 4D is video (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

How is everyone else doing today?

Dream, DS1 was an emergency section at 42 weeks, was induced and it all went downhill from there boooo! With DS2 I wanted a VBAC, they were worried about my need for induction and that may lead to another section so at 39 weeks they started with stretch and sweeps, had 3 in total and went into labour myself, all went well. I think the plan is to do something similar again with this one but may start a bit earlier 38 weeks ish X.

Good luck today Ladybug! Praying they give you good news about your little rainbow girly girl!

Ladybugs, I'll say it again. Good luck with your rather long appointment today and fingers crossed it will bring you all the answers you are hoping for.

Can't wait to hear...
