Who came with you for the big u/s?

Squishycheeks · March 2009

My mom is dying to come--which I'm fine with--and of course DH will be there. I'm just curious because some people seem to view it as a private appointment, and others make it a big family event.

thatgirlang · March 2009

DH only. I wouldn't be 100% against my mom going (if she could) but mostly I think it's a private appointment and I would not want her (or anyone else) there in the event that something looked wrong.

beth thacker · March 2009

My FI, my mom and FIs sister was there. His mom works there so she came in as well. I didn't care who went to be honest with you! I was just so excited!

NDwife07 · March 2009

DH only.

We're trying to strike a balance between this being a private experience while also including our families in all the fun news.

julybride_07 · March 2009

DH and my MIL. My mom was suppose to come too, but she had a last minute meeting that she couldn't get out of. This is the first granbaby for both, so their really excited and it didn't bother me that they wanted to be there.

mavilabride · March 2009

My mom, MIL, and FI were there with my two brothers and FIL on speaker phone.

LMAO I have my very own cheerleading squad. It was actually a really cool experience for me to have everyone "there" and hear the news all together. My family and my FI's family are really close.

saj&jaj · March 2009

Just DH and I. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else, but that is just me.

chounTX · March 2009

Just DH and me - wanted to keep it between just us.

I know a lot of people invite parents/family to the 3D u/s - if you plan to have one of those - that may be a good time if DH wants to keep this u/s for just ya'll

MrsAO · March 2009

Just me and DH. But I would've been open to having both our mothers there. It just never came up...

KelliLynee · March 2009

Just DH.

zoieglow · March 2009

Probably just DH but it's on my sister's birthday and she came to the first ultrasound so if she takes off I'll definitely invite her.

thatgirlang · March 2009

I guess this also depends on your view of the "big u/s." It seems that many mostly focus on learning the sex so in that regard I understand the concept of sharing it with someone else. But it's also fun to find out and celebrate yourselves and then have fun telling everyone!

Jenny3 · March 2009

It will probably be just DH and I, but I'm considering the idea of bringing my girls with me. It depends on the day and time of the u/s.

cabana1 · March 2009

Just my DH. I wasn't against family being there, just didn't think about it! But thinking back, it was a great private moment for us to see our baby for the first time. I feel like if my mom or MIL were there it wouldn't have been as special (in terms of a moment b/w DH and I) but that is just me!

C.Mo · March 2009

I'm torn on this. Only DH came to ours, but if his mom or my mom had wanted to come, then that wouldn't have bothered me. They both viewed it as a private thing though.

niracess27 · March 2009

Ours will be this thursday but DH will be there along with MIL who is flying in from California. My mom was suppose to come too but she can't because they ended up scheduling a confrence she can't get out of.

mrs.serrato85 · March 2009

just DH and I. I was only allowed one person, but i was kinda glad i just wanted us two and MIL wanted to come

j9lovey · March 2009

The first time around it was just DH and I. For our second...I am having my MIL, DH and DD there with us. I can feel the baby moving around in there...so I can pretty much guess that all is well. I also have a doppler of my own, so I check the hrbt every once in a while. We did have a 3D u/s with our first and for that one...we invited all the grandparents. They loved it!

pinkram · March 2009

just DH

lhylcn · March 2009

Just DH, we told family we would be open to them coming to the u/s appts after the big one...just wanted it to be us in case something was concerning.

mrsmel · March 2009

just dh will be coming. we are only allowed to bring one person.

Squishycheeks · March 2009

mrsmel:
just dh will be coming. we are only allowed to bring one person.

I should probably call to see if they'll allow me to bring an extra person; this hadn't even crossed my mind!

FinallyThatGirl · March 2009

We found out the sex at 17 weeks at a random appointment....however we did bring our mom's to the 20 week ultrasound where they do all of the measurements so they could see. The entire family will come for our 3d/4d at the end of this week.

mooninlv · March 2009

just dh

Fluffy · March 2009

I went by myself. DH had to work.

MrsH_2008 · March 2009

Only my husband. ?We wanted it to be a more private moment between the two of us.

sxu0007 · March 2009

My DH and my mom

fallbride00 · March 2009

It will probably be just DH and myself. My MIL lives about 6 hours away and I don't think I would invite my mom unless DH couldn't make it because of work. We already know what we're having anyway, so it's not a big surprise for us.

skimberlin · March 2009

I was so happy my mom and dh went with me. My mom has gone to every u/s I have had. I wouldn't want anyone else there though. It is kind of a private thing, but I think it all depends on your realtionship with your mother. I would never let dh's mom or anyone else go. I have u/s every appointment I have b/c I am having twins so I am letting my Grandma come to my next one to see the babies, but it will be my third and I am ok with her comming.

DarcyLongfellow · March 2009

DH and my MIL were with me, and I am SO glad my MIL came. I wish my mom could have been there too (but she lives several states away).

My MIL doesn't have any daughters, and this is her first grandchild. Sometimes I feel bad for her because she misses out on some of this pregnancy, just because I talk to my mom a lot more than I talk to her. She loved being there -- and that way she got to find out she was having a granddaughter at the same exact moment DH and I did!

I don't really feel like it needs to be a private moment for me and DH. I think having a baby is all about family -- and I wanted to start my daughter's bonding with her grandmother as early as possible!

BeeLove · March 2009

I am just taking DH. I want it to be private. And, in case there is ANYTHING wrong, I don't want it to be a family event.

Aligracegirl · March 2009

Just my H.

I wouldn't want it any other way, and I'm super close with my family.

dmsmth · March 2009

Only DH

MattresMuffin69 · March 2009

DH, DD & my mom. MIL was supposed to come, but got sick.

2bulldogmom · March 2009

I'm going by myself, which I'm perfectly fine with. DH is out of town on military assignment, and local family will be on vacation. I'll have so much fun telling them all the sex and listening to their reaction!
