Re: ***Ultrasound Thread***

  • @mrsbubbles-2 thanks for the intel! That wouldn’t have even crossed my mind so I appreciate the details.  

    It was actually brought up my the US tech when I asked her if there were any “tricks” to predicting gender this early and she explained the theory (without giving it a name - I figured that out by googling) and told me that she would guess girl based on what she saw. So I went google crazy trying to understand it and came across the whole nub/ramzi theory. We have our next ultrasound at 19 weeks and will find out there. :) I agree that it’s just  fun to speculate!

  • @69mil Thanks for being so cool about it! Sometimes people get super defensive about these topics and that's why the threads get shut down all the time. How cool that your US tech gave you a guess! It'll be fun to see if she's right. The wait is a killer and google is so not your friend right now lol! When I was pregnant with DS and we went in for our dating scan at 6w the US tech said "Oh - it's a boy! See how the embryo is right by the yolk sac? The boys always hang out by the fridge" Turns out she was right but that stuck with me until we did the genetic screening to find out for sure!

  • I switched because of the timing of appointments at the first place, then the place I switched to was TERRIBLE. The doctor insulted another doctor who performed a surgery he saw in my medical history (she was wonderful, imo), and he did one of the most half-assed breast exams which felt awkward (didn't even cover the whole thing or into the armpit area), and he did not at all respect my choice not to take a medication for nausea (because a friend of mine won in a class action case against the manufacturer because it caused her son to have a mental disability) and offered me no other options like diet. Needless to say i switched back to the original doctor because my husband and I are willing to live with the early appointments if there's a possibility of getting another doctor like that....

    in conclusion lol I'd maybe try to talk with some doctors over the phone before switching around because what you end up with could be far worse than what you started with (reviews can't always be trusted, this particular doctor had definitely added some generic 5 star reviews, the only reviews that seemed real in retrospect were the negative ones, which seemed to reflect almost my exact experience.)

  • @Secretstapler I wish they would warn more people about having an
    anterior placenta or a retroverted uterus and it might take longer to pick up the heartbeat on doppler. Both times my
    tech had actually mentioned it, so I wasn’t too scared when the OB couldn’t find it with doppler.

  • @lalala2004 I agree!  Last time I had an anterior placenta, and they still found the heartbeat at 10 weeks.  I admit, I never even thought about all of the other places the placenta could be that could make it difficult, so I was just clinging to the fact that my midwife said she wasn't worried at all.
  • This is my ultrasound from Jan 8. I measured 9 weeks, right on track! Strong heartbeat of 186. The baby kept moving but stopped every time the lady turned the monitor around  :(
  • 11 weeks 4 days! 
  • Loving all this pictures! I can't wait until I get my next one. 
  • @kayldawn the baby waving just about made me cry! Cuteness overload! 
  • Is it bad I can't remember exactly how far along we are. Right about 11 weeks! Had a Apt today n got the chance to do a Quick US because Dr couldn't find the heartbeat with the Doppler. 
    SO amazing seeing the little growing and wiggling around! My favorite is seeing the flicker of the heartbeat
  • @vellichor at my 12 week ultrasound with DD I got the exact same picture - she was just facing the other way! So when I was comparing the two photos I thought it was way too cute that they both decided to wave for their photos!!  <3

  • I love looking at these! We had our NT scan and the baby measured 12w1d aligned with original due date. Heartbeat was 158bpm and the little one was moving a ton in there and waving the little hand! So amazing to see.
  • 11w3d, measuring closer to 12 weeks. HB 168. We got to see two hiccups, a wave, and something that looked like an end of 'The Breakfast Club' pose. I think baby has upgraded from looking like a 'Peanuts' character to looking a little like Lord Voldemort. 



    Awe. I’m so happy for you!! Now you can (sorta) relax and just enjoy the miserableness that is pregnancy. Haha.

    13w u/s last Monday.... Moving like crazy from right side at the start of the scan and moving all the way to hiding under my left hip bone upside down. 160bpm and so far healthy
