    When is/was your scan? 
    This morning!
    How far along were you/will you be? 
    17w6d but the US tech said it was measuring at 18w5d.
    How did it go?
    Great! It lasted about 30 minutes. She measured arms and legs and spine and head, etc. We saw its fingers and toes. And saw it hiccupping! We have a CD now of pics and little movie clips.
    Did you learn anything new about you or baby?
    Just that it looks perfect and is measuring ahead. I am very relieved. Still team green!
    Wasn't it a problem that you didn't want to know the sex? I'm afraid that it'll be obvious even to me if not this time, then at week 28. How do they work around that?

    Our AS will is three days from now (19+6), I'm very excited, especially that I started to feel the baby move only about a week ago.

    Edit: sorry, I see now that is was already asked  :D
  • @bnsmith85 The tech was pointing out what everything on the US was and she pointed to the placenta and then mentioned that because of it's location, it would "act as a cushion".

  • @bnsmith85 , it was because baby was using the placenta as his pillow and he was trying to explain how the baby is positioned... He was also explaining to us how babies like to stay close to the placenta probably because it is soft, etc... he then proceeded to tell us that I had an anterior placenta, and it was smack right in the middle (that that was a good thing---no obstruction).  He explained that some placentas are off to the side and also explained what placenta previa was.  

    I think he mainly mentioned it because SO and I were asking a ton of questions.  ha.

    In canada they don't tell you the sex in the ultrasound they turn screen peak then turn it back they send the results of sex to the Dr which you can call and get 24 hours later. We are going team Green because we have done prepared pink and blue we just want to feel the excitement of not knowing till the second it comes into the world. However I am dutch so our male children tend to have ears that stand out in an ultrasound lol. So if it's a boy I'll know just from the giant ears.
    I think it depends on the lab, because my ultrasound technician told me the gender (a boy) but wouldn't write it down, and I'm in Toronto.  Funny thing my doctor today didn't even mention the gender to me.

  • When is/was your scan?  Today, May 17th

    How far along were you/will you be?   20 Weeks

    How did it go?  Great!  Baby is healthy -- so thankful!!  He/she was wiggling around like crazy the whole time.  Baby was suckling, probably because I hadn't eaten breakfast yet!  Got some 3D photos - I was really happy because we didn't get any with our first because he was hiding behind the placenta.

    Did you learn anything new about you or baby?  Measuring 1 day ahead, but other than that, nothing out of the ordinary.  Loved seeing my baby on screen <3

    Our appointment is Monday, May 23rd. I'm soooooo anxious/excited but SO so scared/nervous. I was very sick this pregnancy and have taken Zofran a lot. I took it with my first and our son is 100% healthy.. but I haven't seen this baby since 7 weeks and I'm terrified something will be wrong with her. Sorry to be a debbie downer but I just had to get that off my chest... praying everything goes well. 6 more days!!

    Thanks! I guess I'll have to ask some questions at my next appt. We were just so awestruck that we didn't think of any questions at the time.
  • I'm so jealous of you all. I just scheduled mine yesterday and it isn't for another month  :'(
    I'll be 22 weeks. Wahhhhh!

    @cd92007 You have nothing to worry about. Studies on Zofran have shown that it does not have a higher risk of deformities or abnormalities when compared to pregnancies where it was not taken. Good luck at your ultrasound!

  • Had mine done two weeks ago, team green. Can't believe I'm saying that! They called me Monday and told me that baby looks great but my placenta is low-lying so they want me to do another at 27 weeks. Hoping everything turns out okay and excited to see the babe again! 
  • Did you guys have your ultrasound with your regular OB or a different doctor/office?

    I'm so confused... my scan is scheduled for two weeks from now with a doctor that appears to be another OB-GYN for high risk pregnancies (and I'm not high risk). I told my doctor's receptionist that I needed to schedule my 20 week scan and she just gave me this random number and told me to schedule it 30 minutes before my next apt with my OB. After going back and forth between the two offices several times to get two appointments around the same time, I finally have an appointment for June 2. I looked up the ultrasound place online and it appears to be a high-risk prenatal consulting firm. It is a totally different place from where I had my confirmation ultrasound at 8 weeks. AND, I was told that I would be meeting with a doctor from the firm.... so basically I have the ultrasound, meet with a new doctor, then go meet with my doctor. This seems weird to me. Has anyone else had this experience? I could ask my doctor's office, but their receptionists are the WORST!!!!!!

  • @strickland8052 I think that might be common for the anatomy scan.  I've had all my normal ultrasounds with my regular OB but for my A/S, some special other OB comes to his office around once a week to help do them.  For that reason, mine was hard to schedule and I'm not having mine until I'm almost 22w   :( 
  • Finally going to have my ultrasound in a few hours!  This is a little bit last minute but ... was everyone's A/S internal or external?  I've only had one other ultrasound at 8 weeks.  I remember asking the ultrasound tech if that would be my only internal ultrasound, and she said no, you have one other one at 20 weeks.  But everything I'm looking at online says its abdominal.  It's no big deal, I'm just curious! Anyone?  To be honest I'm a little bit more worried about an external ultrasound ... whenever my doctor uses the doppler, I tend to laugh out of nervousness and mess it up lol!

  • @Blonde1817 my anatomy scan will be external but I do have an internal scan back at my dr office a few days later and that will be internal and my 19 week US. From what I've heard, the anatomy scan is pretty amazing and I'm just like you though, I laugh when I'm nervous. Just relax and enjoy it! Best of luck!

  • @strickland8052 because I'm high risk, due to my age, my anatomy scan is done at the hospital with a specialist.
