Crazy pregnant lady, party of one...

I'm trying to clean up some of the Christmas garbage from gifts at DH's house.  We had brought over the latest sonogram pics - they're the first GOOD pics we have of her, in both 2D and 3D/4D.  And to be fair, they were the ONLY good thing that happened last week between the GD tests, diagnosis, and cancellation of our vacation.  So we had brought home 4 shopping bags of stuff, most of which were his (to be fair, it's his holiday, so no biggie).  I go through the bags I can find and the pictures aren't there.  And I start to get nervous.  So I ask DH to come up and help me look.  And not only can we not find the pictures, but we can't find two of the four bags.  He had emptied them out either Saturday or Sunday, and I guess he threw them out...and I think the sonogram pictures were in there.  And of course, now I'm upset.  He is now outside, trying to find the bags in the garbage, to see if he can find the pictures.  Part of me wants him to keep going, but part of me just wants him to stop because of course, if he finds them, they're likely to be so destroyed that we can't even look at them.  And part of me wants to cry.  I know this is stupid but they were seriously the ONLY good part of last week.  Crazy pregnant lady over here...

  • You're not crazy - I would be upset too!  I'm sorry that happened, and I hope you do find them.  The place we did our 3D/4D also gave us digital copies; maybe you could call and see if they still have digital photos on file for you?

  • It's my regular OB, and I get a fair number of ultrasounds, but I don't know that they keep the pictures after they print them for us. It's not like I went to a special place.  This is going to sound dumb, but it's the first time we could start to see what she looks like - she has hair and it looked like my nose.  And I am just sad that we can't find them.

  • Aw you aren't crazy. Hugs*. I can see that being rough. Maybe call the office to see if they could squeeze you in and tell them what happened. Much love and good luck darling

  • Definitely not crazy. I can't stand losing stuff, let alone stuff that special. Will you get more pics when u go to your OB? I know it's not the same but it might make u feel a little better?
  • I would feel the same way. See if the doctors office has extra copies or if you can go back in. I went to a local ultrasound place today and for about $100 they printed 6 photos, gave me a digital copy of 37 different photos, and a 30 min DVD of our session. Totally worth it. Perhaps there is a similar place in your area if you can't get into your OB office.

  • Aww! That sucks! But I purchased my whole file after I had my ultrasound (I put in a request about a month after). Most diagnostic tests are kept on file for a while so I would definitely ask about it, you may have to pay, but it is an option.

  • Oh no! I hope you were able to find them! I'd be so sad too. Sounds like a pretty normal, non-crazy reaction to me. You've had a lot on your plate from the sounds of it. I think you can go ahead and give yourself some credit for holding it together.
  • I'm sorry.  You aren't crazy to be upset.

  • @Laura8388 - definitely wasn't yelling or anything.  I felt bad that he went outside at 1am, but I was definitely sad.  And we didn't find them.  We went to bed and the two of us were fine with each other, just upset about the pics.

    I'm going to call my OBs office in a bit - I'll see if they can print new ones.  Thanks for the reassurance - I still feel like the crazy lady a bit, but definitely not as bad!!!

  • I'm sorry that happened and you don't sound crazy at all. I know at my OB office they have all the ultrasound pics saved to my file, so hopefully yours will be able to print some new ones for you.

  • Not crazy at all, hopefully you can get replacements from the doctors. I lost my daughters U/S pic and 18 yrs later it still bums me out that she is the only one that doesn't have one. (they only gave you one back then)

  • I would call and see if they still have them on file. I know you said it's your reg doctor but mine actually has all of my ultrasounds recorded. I didn't realize they did until my second pregnancy, when they realized I was pregnant with twins. They quickly pulled up my last ultrasound to see how they could have missed it. So go ahead and just ask your doctors office. Good luck!!!
  • That is most certainly NOT enough to qualify you for "crazy pregnant lady" status! I think ANYONE would be upset to lose something like that! I KNOW I would have been devastated. Hugs for your sorrow... Please let us know if you are able to get replacements printed from the OB...
