Hey ladies. Just wanted to let you know I had my NT scan this morning. Baby looked great! I don't get the results until next week after they combine to the blood, but the NT measurement looked really good based on my internet research. The babies HR went from 164 BPM last week to 146BPM, which is now in Old Wives Tale territory for boy. DH is now officially convinced we're team blue, haha.
Otherwise, the scan was a little disappointing. The tech handed it over to the sonography student in the room to get the "fun" views/pictures and to look around for the purposes of learning. She spent most of the time trying to get a picture of the brain, and apparently that is very hard to do at this stage in pregnancy (said the tech, later, when she came back in the room). I was really excited about getting a clear profile view/pic, but she didn't have the time to take one. We only got two pictures and they are both kinda blah. Oh well, we'll get one at the 20 wk.
In other news, I am feeling a lot better about my belly. I learned that the babe is only about a half inch below my belly button. Apparently since I have a short torso, I have less room for baby down low. I am glad to know I have a "real" belly going on, not just chicken nuggets!
Sorry so long!
Re: PG related: NT scan this morning..
Glad the Scan went well, sorry they didn't give you any cute pics. Your belly is adorable and clearly a baby, not chick 'nugets. I have my scan on the 20th and both DH and I are REALLY nervous. They make me go in a week early to get the blood test so they can combine the results there.
I can't wait to see this theory tested out with you & Rogue! I'm curious how true it might or might not be
Awesome that you got to see your baby and scan seemed to go well! Sorry you didn't get any good pics this time. My doc just gave me all of the NT pre-testing stuff so I can send it ahead and get all of the results right there, which will be nice.
And you looked cute in the GP Mama post!
Glad everything looked good- but that's disappointing about the lack of fun pics, blah!
Happy it's Baby Rogue and not Colonel Sanders that's making him/herself known through your cute little bump!
YAY!!!! I'm so glad you got to see your little one again. I'm sorry you didn't get a good profile shot. I have to admit, that's what I'm really hoping for too!
I'm also thrilled to hear about your confirmed bump. I was just reading in "Your Pregnancy week by week" about how around this time it's possible that you start really feeling down about your body and stuff. It was fascinating considering that's what I've been going through. I'm glad i can blame it on hormones now.
Baby chicken nuggets looking good- great news! Sorry it was a little disappointing but you'll be at 20w before you know it!
I know, right? I'm very intrigued by this OWT, because, all though there are definitely exceptions, I do read snippets where there is some medical truth behind it.
