We have the A/S on Wednesday and H schedule changed so he can come too! Eta: apparently I can't read. He works the night before, so idk if he will come since he gets off work at 7am :-(
In the same boat as @Spicyweiner A/S on Friday and DH's boss was nice enough to let him switch days off so he could make it. I didn't think they'd have it this early since I'll only be 18 weeks but I'm not complaining one bit.
A/S on Wednesday here too. Yay for all the Hs that can make it to share! DH is able to come, and mom is watching DD so we can go grab lunch together after for the first "date" in months!
A/S tomorrow afternoon! All three of us are going. DS and I are so excited; H is nervous that he's going to find out it's a girl. I'm pretty sure that's what's gonna happen
So many A/S's this week! Good luck to all you ladies . I have mine on Thursday morning! My fiancé wants to put what the sex is in an envelope and open it at home together so it can be just us which is aweee but also... I HAVE TO WAIT ALL FREAKING DAY?!
Our A/S is this afternoon! I'm so nervous/excited! We have no reason to believe anything is wrong, I'm just a nervous Nelly. I'm so excited to get to see him today, though!
We've got the fetal scan on Thursday. I'm so excited to peek at baby since I can't feel him/her moving yet. As PP said, fingers crossed for healthy babies all around!
A/S on Wednesday! @Spicyweiner like you, my H works Tuesday night. He gets home at 6:30am Wednesday. Luckily we were able to schedule the appointment for 3:30 though, so that he can make it! But that means I have to sit through work all day, waiting :-/ What time is your appt?
I've been thinking it's a boy since our last scan, but last night I had a dream we found out it was a girl. I have no preference, but H is hoping for a boy, and MIL wants a girl (there are very few girls in H's family). Can't wait to find out!
We have our 20 week anatomy scan on Thursday. But there is a lady at our church who does ultrasounds and is having me come to her office tomorrow afternoon for a little sneak peek! Super excited to see this little guy/girl TWICE this week. Fingers crossed we can tell tomorrow if it's a girl or boy - the suspense is killing me!
I have A/S part two this Friday! We had our original one last week but my amniotic fluid was low so we're seeing a high risk doctor with better ultrasound equipment who can hopefully get a better look at things! Yaaaay for bedrest all week...
My advice? Ladies, make sure you're drinking pleeeeenty of water all week before your A/S! If there isn't enough amniotic fluid it could either be a serious problem or just that you haven't had enough water that day and could cause them to not be able to see baby very well. I'm hoping we're just in the 'didn't drink enough water' category but we will find out Friday!
Had our A/S this morning. It was so weird. I'm still in the camp of not feeling much (or not really knowing what I'm feeling)... So, seeing all the wiggling around in there was surreal.
A/S on Friday, super excited to see her again, with all her features and such. I'm pretty sure this is the last time we will see her until she arrives. Not sure if I'm ready to go 20 weeks without seeing her, but it will be fun. Im mostly curious to see if she's measuring ahead/behind/on track. DH is not a fan of ultrasounds, so I know he will be gritting his teeth (not literally) the whole time, hopefully he can chill out enough to just enjoy it.
A/S on Thursday. Hopefully we'll confirm that this little guy is indeed a little guy. I also haven't felt any movements yet, so it will be nice to see what's going on in there
OB appointment tomorrow and A/S on 10/3! Its first thing that morning so I'm posting on this week's appointment board since it will be done by next week's.... Hopefully we'll find out the gender!
A/S went well! All measured healthy, baby is estimated at 10 oz, and is 47th percentile for growth which they said is great for this stage. He is still curled up in there with his little hands by his face!
We do get to do a repeat scan next month because they could not get a profile shot at all, and they still want a measurement of his lips and nasal bone.
I have the anatomy scan on Thursday. I'm excited to see the little guy again but nervous too. I have no particular reason to be nervous I'm just a natural worrier.
So this week we have the AS and I'm excited beyond belief. but last week we had a regular check up. they did a glucose test (bc I'm fat) and a vitamin d test. Both came back abnormal. So now I have to take a Vitamin D supplement and I have to go in for a fasting 3 hour glucose test.
I think I'm fine -- I forgot I was supposed to do the glucose test that day (remembered in the morning, forgot in the afternoon and didn't follow the instructions exactly right) so I think if I do it right this time I'll be fine. But I can't help but feel really worried about GD. I know there is nothing to do except eat healthy but GD would suck.
@Gretchypoo, I hope you don't end up having GD. When will you find out or when are you going in for the 3 hour one? What is the vitamin D test? I've never heard of that one.
Good luck to everyone at their anatomy scans this week! Mine isn't until October 11, but I'm waiting at my Physical Therapy office for my first visit today. Hoping the physical therapist is able to help me find some relief for this awful hip pain!!
@Gretchypoo, I hope you don't end up having GD. When will you find out or when are you going in for the 3 hour one? What is the vitamin D test? I've never heard of that one.
They just took a blood test to check my Vit D levels. Vit D is good for your bones and prevents pre-eclampsia apparently.
I hope I don't have GD too. I go in next week for the 3 hrs test (Friday I think) so we'll find out soon. :-(
Good luck @Gretchypoo! TRY not to worry too much about it because at this point there's nothing you can do except to show up for the test. I know, easier said than done. But you can try.

I have a regular MW appt Friday. Not quite as exciting as A/S, but get to hear baby's heartbeat again, which never gets old!
I also haven't felt any movements yet, so it will be nice to see what's going on in there

My phone is being fucky. It's at 10:30 but he is going to try to flex out early. If not, I'll just drive because he really wants to go.
