Anyone else due??

Belle, I only realized this morning your scan is today, good luck!!

[Belle]

Oh girls, today was an experience. First of all Im glad all looked healthy. The tech was not helpful at all she almost refused to give me a nub shot but I almost cried and refused to leave, so she gave me two without my baby's head (stupid b%^&*) she did that on purpose. I also wanted a potty shot which I know can still be similar at this stage and boy do I regret that shot just look at it. I added in a picture of the skull incase anyone is familiar with that theory. Please take a look and give me your honest opinions I've just posted them on the ultrasound board.

Indira good luck with you tomorrow... I'll be thinking of you and hoping for a better experience for you then mine.

Belle I´m sorry the tech was such a ******.
For having an unhelpful tech you good some pretty good and clear pictures though!
I posted on the ultrasound board, she looks very girly!!

I won´t be asking specifically for a nub shot or a potty shot tomorrow, too scared! I will just look at whatever is there to see.

Belle, sorry to hear about your bad experience! I don't understand why some medical staff are so rude! (It's their job!)

Looked at your pictures on the ultrasound board. I don't think it gets any more girly than that!! You must be so excited!

belle it looks very girly to me... how exciting.....!!!

[dannikins]

good luck to everyone else with your scans, fingers crossed for lots of pink bits...

[Belle]

Girls to be honest I was excited to see the nub but when I saw the potty shot BOY just came to my head. Doesn't it look like balls and a penis? So I'm back to square one. Everyone has guessed girl so I'm hoping your all right but you can't help but feel like it can't be if ykwim.
Indira thinking of you today honey, we have to think positive.
Applesoup stop knitting that blue beanie Monday is your day. Praying for all of us to get a clean run on pink, well whoever wants the pink that is.
Dannikins and applesoup you both look really good, very neat bellies.

Indira, how'd your scan go?

[Indira]

Belle I don´t get skull shape theory but I think your baby´s face looks girly too!

I agree, you have to start a new one on Monday anyway!

Thanks for thinking about me girls.

So basically I didn´t see the nub. She didn´t measure NT, the scan was like 3 seconds! The baby was lying upside down so I needed that time to understand where his head and where his feet were, didn´t see any nub and whoops, she already pulled the scan thing out! I did get a picture but I can´t post it now, I´m in a hotel for schooling tomorrow, when I get home on Sunday I will scan it and show you.
The picture isn´t very clear and I think there´s no nub. The baby has a curved spine and you don´t really see the profile either.
At first I was very disappointed that I didn´t get a nice picture with a profile and that the scan was so quick that I didn´t even feel connected with the baby, you know that happy feeling when you see your baby.
Afterwards however I enjoyed watching the picture and got feminine vibes looking at it (I know it is risky to allow myself to feel this). And I was happy knowing I´m still on team green and that it still might be a girl. Seeing a straight boy nub was my biggest fear and that didn´t happen.
Then I realised if I don´t see a nub in this picture then that´s probably because it isn´t flat but sticking up and the leg is covering it!
After looking 2000 times at this pic (God I´m going insane!) my conclusion is (besides that the dad must be an alien) that the baby is directed with his back towards the ´camera´ so few changes we can see a nub. There is a small white thing in the lower area that better not be the nub, ´cause it´s pointing up 120 degrees but it´s in a weird place.

Oh and now I know this dr. won´t do any prenatal risk test, I´m fine with that, but I have to find where I can get a good 20-22 week scan.

Now I have to go nubsess and compare..

Sorry to hear that she didn't let you see the baby longer. I don't know why they always rush those first few scans? The trans-vaginal ultrasound is really awkward too. You'd think they'd spent 10 seconds turning the ultrasound screen towards you & say "see? here's your baby!" At least you got a picture! Sorry there's no nub, but maybe that's a good thing? After all, you'd spend the next 7 weeks obsessing if everyone's right or not! Let us know when you post the picture!

I can't believe there's only 3 days until my ultrasound. We're stuck on boy names. So stuck that DH (who said he'd spend time thinking about it) suggested a name that was written on the storage room wall in our basement. The kicker, it had 60% of the same letters as 2 of our sons names! grrrrrrrrrrrrr. DH told me he's "bored" of boy names. NO KIDDING!
