Any other ladies from Germany on here?

[GeCon]

Valentine's Day sounds like a great plan, Pumpkin.

LFG, have you got a link to those stats?

[GeCon]

Forgot to answer your question: I meant Saarland.

[Longingforgirl]

GeCon, sure: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...readsheet.html

Pumpkin, that sounds reasonable. Hope you get pregnant on the first try!!

Oh, another question.. when you do get pregnant, are you going to be team green or are you finding out the gender?

Have a nice evening ladies!

[Pumpkin2011]

I am definitely going to find out but we won't tell anybody. How about you?

[GeCon]

Thanks, LFG. Hope it is okay to shorten your name this way? I will have a look at these stats after.

Yes, we will definitely be finding out. Way too impatient to wait. Think it will be nicer for our LO (2.5 years) too as we can get him to prepare for it more.

Will you be finding out? How does it work in Germany anyway? How many scans do you have and when? Our LO was born in the UK and there you usually have 2 scans: one at 12 weeks, where they determine how far along you are and another at 20, where you can find out the sex.

Have a great evening all.

Oh great, kind of great that you are all planning on finding out. Me too. I am so impatient and this waiting is real torture for me. Lol. Seriously.

GeCon, sure, shortening that long name is good
You get to have more ultrasounds here, which is really a good thing. Officially, you get three, but I don't know anyone who only has those three (except for one, a friend of a friend, but she wants it that way).
My gyn told me that I could book extra scans. 100 Euros for scans every time I have an appointment, which is usually every 2 or 4 weeks. Depends on the doctor I guess. On monday I will have my next appointment and as she already knows that this is an oops-baby, I will also tell her how scared I am of another boy and that I am dying to find out the gender. I hope she will understand. But I heard that she is very supportive

My LO is going to be 3 years in May, but apparently he is not really interested in the baby, lol. I think I am going to get a book about getting a sibling for little ones. Maybe then he understands a little better... DS1 wants to go to an ultrasound with me. The other day, I was looking at a picture of an ultrasound here on the forum. DS1 saw the picture and asked me "Mommy, what is that? .... A baby?". I was really surprised that he could see that. So I am taking him to an ultrasound He is so looking forward to "be getting a baby" as he calls it. Lol.

[GeCon]

So you have to pay €100 for each scan, which totals to at least €300?

[Pumpkin2011]

No GeCon it's kind of like a flat rate. You pay 100€ once and get a scan at every appointment which is once a month.

[Chessika]

Usually you have to pay for extra ultrasounds. Some doctors offer a kind of "flatrate", you pay a certain amount and get an ultrasound every time. I was very lucky with my doc (he is retired now). Since I miscarried my first baby and had gestational diabetis, I had appointments every three weeks. He had this ultrasound machine, where he could do nuchal scans. So I could see my son every three weeks, even in 3D, for free.

[GeCon]

I see, sorry, I misunderstood. That's not too bad at all then.

From when will they tell you the sex?
