in July 2012 Moms

so i have my anatomy scan on 3/7. my husband will be with me - he comes to all of the appointments :) my stepmom has been asking to come to an appt for months now, so i finally succumbed, and she is coming...and she is having my dad come...i told my mom about them coming...and now she is going to, haha.

 anyone else have guests for theirs?? i even get a dvd of it, but that wasnt good enough for them!

    first things first check with your dr office.

    Mine only allowed 2 adults in the room

    For me this was such a intimate moment for my Husband and I and we are quite private about things. You much kinder than I to share this moment with your family.

    In my office, only me and my husband are allowed in the room.  You might want to check to be sure that they will be allowed in.  My parents really wanted to see the baby so we did an elective so everyone who wanted to go could lol  Good luck!

    All of our appointments have been just DH and I. I'd actually prefer not to turn our medical appointments for the pregnancy into a group outing, because I'm often talking about other things with my doctor that I'd rather not discuss in front of others. We've taken a few videos ourselves of the first couple of ultrasounds, which we shared with family later. And we usually send any ultrasound pictures we get to the people who are most interested.

    Also, have you checked with your doctor's office about your guest list? Often times they limit who and how many people can attend. For instance, I've seen a lot of places say only two guests are allowed (including the father/birth partner).

    omg good thinking guys! i didnt even think to ask them! haha, ill call now!

    and yes, i was a little hesitant about having them there, but i know they are doing the ultrasound first thing, then doing our appt after that, so i wasnt really worried about it being too 'medical' i guess.

    Mine is different because it is twins but they specifically told me no guests because they really need to concentrate and did not want the distractions of people talking and asking questions and coo-ing and stuff...  I did think about bringing DD (never anyone else though!) but she will come to a routine one later on.  It is a pretty significant medical test really - when my OB was telling me about the no guests policy, she said tell people to think of it as being guests at a colonoscopy but less cute.  Her point was that guests are not really done at medical tests.

    bleh. just my personal preference, but i would have laid my foot down and said no. i'm not one for any extra "chaos" in situations though. just me and DH. also, if there were any issues, i would want them discussed IMMEDIATELY with us in detail so i can see what they're looking at, and not wait until it's private. it was so nice having the tech explain everything she was seeing/doing, and i wonder if yours will keep her mouth shut because of your guests, and it's not "private". i would hate to think "everything must be normal!" and then later on at an appointment with my midwife (or your OB) find out there were problems.

    also, i dont know if this is for everyone, but they first did a trans-vaginal ultrasound to check on my cervix, soooo....
