AW: NT scan and stuff

We had out NT scan today. It was AMAZING! We got to see the prawn wiggling around and waving at us! And midway through, the u/s tech asked if we wanted to know the sex! I didn't even think you could tell this early, but the prawn was quite accommodating and our tech said we're having a boy!

She is apparently about 95% accurate, according to my doctor, my mom (the head midwife at the practice), and all the nurses. And she wouldn't have said anything at all if she wasn't confident. Of course, we will confirm at the anatomy scan.

So excited! This has been the best day ever, and DH was able to be there with me for the news! Plusalso, I got a new job! Not the one I applied for, but one I'm actually more excited about. I'll be doing habilitative support /developmental therapy for little kids at a local Montessori school that has a stellar reputation. Monday through Friday! Holidays off! No shift work! No violence, being cursed at, or having people trying to kill themselves on my shift! Woohoo!

I'm just feeling really happy and excited right now, and I needed to explode it all over the bump. What is making YOU happy today, marchies?

Plusalso, have an ultrasound of the prawn's bottom, lol!

Re: AW: NT scan and stuff

  • Yay for probably boy prawn! And yay for happy new job!

    I had my NT scan yesterday and I'm still totally happy about it. I keep staring at all the pictures we got. My 12-week OB appointment is in about half an hour so I'm also happy about that. 

    Also, Your unicorn siggy always makes me lol.

  • Awww, thanks!

    And wasn't the needing to pee part just awful? Prawn wasn't moving enough at first, so I had to get up and move around. Then after, I had to pee so much worse! Worth it, of course!
  • Congrats!! Awesome! Had mine today too and while we didn't learn the sex everything is moving along as planned. So exciting!

  • Congrats! I asked at our NT scan this morning and was just told it's too early to tell lol. The tech went over the butt part like you have in the photo and I didn't see anything in between the legs so I'm rooting girl ;) obviously know it's not reliable but I'm teasing H about having another one of me around
  • Congrats on a great scan and the new job!

    Congrats!

    My tech last Fri tried to see if he could tell the sex of the baby because my SO told him he was hoping for a boy. We didn't see anything in between the legs...but he said things could change in between now & 20 week u/s. :P
  • Congrats on the new job and the great scan!

  • We had our NT scan yesterday. It was an amazing experience. The baby kept moving and wiggling fingers. S/he even yawned while we were watching :) no luck on the sex. We did not ask and the doctor did not mention.
  • Congrats on a heathy baby boy!

  • Congratulations!  Yay for happy news all day!  :)
  • We also found out that we are having a girl. Our tech was pretty darn sure... we saw what they call the pitchfork and on another one, three lines.
  • Wow that's quite the day!  Congrats!  Did you get the results of the scan (other than the sex)?

    I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

  • Congrats on everything!! What a great day!!

    No, I haven't had the results of the bloodwork and measuring yet. I am assuming the results just aren't back yet, since my doctor's office is quite prompt. Nobody mentioned how long results take, so I'll probably call them and check in if I don't hear back this next week or so.

    Hee hee pitchfork! With my DD the ultrasound tech kept referring to the 3 lines as a cheeseburger lol

    I've always been told to look for the hamburger bun lol. Congrats @Whitfry‌ !!
  • Reading all this makes me excited for our nt scan next week! I've read so many things about why to not get them but seems like everyone here is happy they did! We have ours the 11th:)
  • Just got a call from the OB's office, and we passed all the tests! So there is one thing I don't have to worry about. Now if I could just get up the energy to start clearing out the back bedroom so I can turn it into a nursery.
