Anatomical Ultrasound

bk88rn

Our big ultrasound is this Friday and I am freaking out. The thought of it sends me into a crying fit. I'm so so nervous that something will be wrong with one of the babies (expecting di/di twins April). There's no reason for me to think anything is wrong, I get to see the babies weekly on ultrasound bc I work in an ER and everyone loves to ultrasound me. But it's not as detailed as what they will see for this big one on Friday. Being a nurse all of the worst things are in my mind and I'm having a hard time staying positive. I feel rediculous but can't shake the nerves. Just need some encouragement,prayers and positive vibes please!!!

If you are already seeing them once a week, and assuming you had the NT scan in the first trimester, most major medical emergencies would have already been caught or noticed or suspected by *someone*... the anatomy scan will be more in depth, but it's not likely to find some rogue problem. All the things will be OK and your holiday will be marvelous and full of ridiculous sonogram images.

I never did the NT scan and I can't honestly say whether I regret that or not. I wasn't prepared to do an amino so I didn't want the NT to give a false positive and then I freak out the rest of the pregnancy. Which evidently is happening anyway.....
