Who else has A/s this week?

melszum · May 2014

My anatomy scan is Wednesday. I'm both excited and nervous. We are team green but I can't wait to see him/her. What are you looking forward to ?

jusmale · May 2014

Mine is tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing how big the baby has gotten and for both grandmas to see the ultrasound. I had the panorama blood test at 10 weeks that told me I'm having a girl, but I NEED to see it for myself on the ultrasound to believe it.

bumpuser10309732 · May 2014

Mine is also Wednesday and I CANNOT WAIT! I'm seriously not functional today and I see tomorrow going much the same. I'm so nervous to finally see our baby!

Eastie156 · May 2014

Mine is Friday. We already know girl; I'm just hoping/praying the A/S confirms all our further genetic testing was correct and the baby is healthy. All this testing and this pregnancy are messing with my emotions.

heathera1979 · May 2014

Mine is Thursday and I'm soooooo excited!!!!!!!

Wino411 · May 2014

Mine is Friday and I'm a mix of both nervousness and excitement. I get nervous before every u/s. Can't wait to confirm baby is growing healthy and strong and SOOOO looking forward to finding out the sex. Friday can't come fast enough!

Bebelove0947 · May 2014

Mine is tomorrow. DH isn't able to make it due to work. We have 4 appts this week and this one that he wants to make it to the most but it's with a specialist and we couldn't pick the date or time. I'll be going by myself. =( He missed our last one too for work out of town. (My mom and sister went with me last time) As much as I'm looking forward to it I'm also not because I'll be alone. Just hoping for a healthy baby.

Mine is on Thursday and I can't wait. I am just hoping that the MFM actually runs on time (for some strange reason, they run an hour late - even my OB doesn't run that late).

MFMs tend to run late because they are dealing with much more complex issues than a typical OB. As my MFM says, 50% of the time he is giving bad news (he's an uber high risk MFM - you need multiple referrals/have to met a specific criteria to see him), and that tends to take much more time. When he has a patient in the room he does everything he needs for her, including calling labs or consulting with another MFM, which also adds to visit time. Lastly, MFMs perform quite a few amnios, and if you have an A/S that took 30min longer than anticipated, then he goes in the room to explain the circumstances and next/steps and an amnio is required, he is spending at least an extra 45min with that patient.

Just lurking on this thread! I am looking forward to all A/S scans this week! FX for great appointments!

If it makes you feel better my drive is an hour and 20 minutes :-)

AppleGrapeMSTK · May 2014

Friday at 3:00. With all the meetings I have this week plus leading into a 4-day weekend for me, I am certain that this is going to be the Longest. Week. Ever.

Jesslynnsell · May 2014

Mine is Wednesday. I'm very excited, but trying not to get my hopes up too much just in case little one isn't cooperating

MrMrsandBaby · May 2014

@theresat858 and I will be finding out at the same time, my a/s is Friday at 9:30.

On a side note...do you all have to come in with a full bladder too? I feel like I may be in the minority here.

I haven't been told that but I do have to pee in the cup every time so I always have a full bladder.

Lauren1184 · May 2014

I have mine on Friday!! So excited! We are hoping to find out the sex, too!

@MrMrsandBaby I was told no restrictions on food, drink, or bathroom.

Ug! Jealous! I need to do like 60 oz of water and "do not void" before the appointment. They do an abdominal u/s first then let me pee (which takes like 5 minutes to empty). Then it is vag cam for the rest of the u/s.

c&bmama0911 · May 2014

I have mine Wednesday morning.. I changed it from next wednesday because im freaking out thinking it's not really a girl.. I don't care boy or girl, I just want healthy.. but I also want to go buy some stuff!! I made the mistake of googling and comparing girl and boy u/s pics and became convinced its really a boy.. and Im within my a/s window that my doc gave me so im going this week to find out one way or the other.. a little crazy? Maybe..

Taramocd · May 2014

I had mine this morning. Everything looks good. Little guy has a larger head with long arms and legs. But everything is normal and that's all we wanted.

I really hope so, we bought our first house last fall and it's an old farmhouse in the country. I thought my commute time to civilization was bad, but I have no room to complain!

Haha no way I'm all about complaining! I was just trying to make you guys feel better about your situations ;-) I have a hospital 30 minutes away but I like the bigger city doctors and hospital more

I am NOT excited about having to have such a full bladder during the scan. That is a lot of pressure (both literally and figuratively)!!

I had mine this morning and had to drink 32 oz of water 1 hour before. I asked the U/S tech and he said not only does the full bladder allow for easier readings, but it also stresses your cervix. Apparently this is about the time when an incompetent cervix might start to cause some problems/be diagnosed. The whole thing took about 45 min and I was allowed to pee 35 min into it, but only because the tech thought it would make baby change positions. He was a tad uncooperative this morning!

Whoa, I don't even know how I'd make it to the appointment without peeing my pants or having my bladder explode. I can barely hold it for 20 minutes after drinking 16 oz! GL!

Rickaroo922 · May 2014

We have our anatomy scan on Friday at 10! Im so excited to see the baby and make sure everything is good. I also can't wait to find out if DS is getting a little brother or sister.

MrsMac613 · May 2014

Mine is Wednesday but we just saw the LO at a sono with my high risk doctor on Thursday. So I'm just looking forward to seeing her again. Everything looked good when we saw her last week.

Mmylsa · May 2014

Mine is Wednesday... And just like you all, I am super excited to see!

hippohat · May 2014

Me! Tomorrow afternoon for us. It was supposed to be last week so I'm kind of over waiting.. We're Team Green, but I can't wait to see baby dancing around in there. Planning to bring DD, I'm excited to show her what her baby brother/sister is doing in there!

I haven't felt many flutters this time around, but I think I started feeling kicks last night, continuing today! I'm ready for regular movement to ease my inner worry-wart

No full bladder here - they only request that for early ultrasounds.

MuffinMom14 · May 2014

I go in on Wednesday at 8am. I asked about the full bladder thing, and they gave me some sort of wishy-washy answer. I feel like if it was that important, they would have told me ahead of time, and I have to pee all the time anyway, so I'm not going to push the issue. If they want me to drink some water, I'll do that, but even with the ultrasounds when the baby was smaller, I didn't have to do that and they didn't have issues.

golfingdarwinfish · May 2014

I was told to use the bathroom right before my early a/s (and I was so nervous I completely forgot to use the cup!), but did have t/v and traditional ultrasound during my early a/s. The t/v was to adequately image and measure the cervix; it can be done sans-tv, but my MFM favors the more finite measurements from t/v.

lct2008 · May 2014

Next week for me

this week already seems to be dragging. Haha. Enjoy your a/s ladies. I loved being able to look at baby so long last time.

megsandjohn · May 2014

Ours is on Friday and I can't wait! I just want to see our baby and know that there are no concerns!

I don't even mind if baby keeps his/her legs closed and we don't get to find out the gender. I just wanna see the little baby who has been kicking around in there so much!

ladybug0088 · May 2014

We go tomorrow. Lots of prayers for all of our healthy babies.

elsie2014 · May 2014

Mine is on Thursday at 8am. I have been sooo jealous of everyone that has had theirs already. My midwife made me wait until I was past 20 weeks, so even though I'm due Oct 3, I feel like I'm one of the last ones! Lol. I'm super excited and super nervous. My brother has spina bifida, so I'm considered higher risk for it. All we've done so far is the quad screen, everything came back fine then, but I'm still ready for some peace of mind from a full A/S.

Also, just seeing now that they may do a vaginal ultrasound??? I guess I assumed at this point it wouldn't be...should I be prepared for that just in case or would they have told me if I needed a vaginal us?

Coles404 · May 2014

Mine is tomorrow at 3:30 and I can't wait. I just want to make sure everything is ok and she is still a she!

GL to everyone that has appointments this week!

JJsMum · May 2014

Mine is Thursday at 8am! My 20w appt is on Wednesday, but I have to wait until the next day to see LO. Boo

The great thing is that my ILs (whom I love!) get in to town tonight, and are staying with us after Wednesday (couple of nights in Seattle before heading out our way), so my mom and ILs will be here when we get home to announce who we are having. I'm about 90% sure it's another boy, but keeping hopes that we might get a girl still

live4thegiraffe · May 2014

Ours is tomorrow at 3pm. I'm so excited and nervous:-x

mamamurphy · May 2014

Ours is on Wed... Dying to see this little love.

eacaldw · May 2014

Our scan is tomorrow. I'm with all of you. I am super excited, but a little nervous. We already know that baby is a boy, and now we want to see that he is healthy and growing as he should! Looking forward to seeing our little guy!

MrsTinMKE · May 2014

Mine is Thursday afternoon! I can't wait! I am excited to see the baby again, see how big she or he has gotten, see them moving around. I can't wait to meet our LO!
