It's ALIVE!

in July 2011 Moms

I was supposed to have my NT scan today, and after a hectic morning where both DH and I slept late, we got there to find out I'd barely missed the call telling me the u/s tech was sick! I nearly cried!

But at least we still had an OB appt., so we went in to do vitals. I'm another 2 lbs down (no big deal), but then they couldn't find anything with the doppler (but they only tried for like five minutes)! GAH! I was about to lose hope when they moved us into the ultrasound room. Waiting and waiting and more waiting . . . and then finally the doc came in and found the baby.

I was sure it wasn't okay until it started jumping around! We FINALLY got a beat at 167 bpm. I was almost shocked that everything was okay!

So now we're past 12 weeks, baby is fine, and we should be good to announce - but I'm still hesitant. Anyone else just want to keep the secret?

    Last time I felt the same way you do, and waited until I really started showing (around 14 or 15 weeks) to tell people.  Obviously in retrospect, DS was fine, but like you, I just didn't feel ready to share yet.  I think it's worth it to wait until you're good and ready so you can be truly happy and excited when you tell people the great news.

    I'm surprised your OB would even try doppler before 14 weeks. Mine won't. We get a quick u/s to check things out until they can use the doppler. They say it scares the mothers less. I agree :-)

    I completely understand the hesitancy. We didn't tell anyone, including family until Christmas. It's hard to relinquish control of something that is just, well, so "yours" between you and DH.

    Congratulations on a great appointment and healthy baby!

    Sounds like a smart policy, because I was freaked!

    My OB uses the doppler at the 12 week appointment. I admit I'd be nervous about not hearing a HB but we'll be meeting with the ultrasound tech right before we meet with him so hopefully we'll see a HB.

    Now that our 12 week appointment went well, we are ready to announce, but part of me feels the same way you do - a little hesitant. Once everyone knows, all of their opinions and advice will come rolling in - ugh! I'd rather just act like nothing is going on for 6 more months!

    Overall, I think I am more excited than hesitant, so we will be announcing to "the world" starting today!
