@PizzaMonster3 I'd say you have a 50/50 chance of the guess being correct!
There is supposedly an "angle of the dangle" method that really experienced techs can use to determine sex early even though the sex organs still look very similar.. so I guess it just depends on how knowledgeable the tech was! My 15w wrong guess was in the OB's office so not a super knowledgeable tech. But my DD definitely had what appeared to be a little penis between her legs at the time!
FFFC: my assistant just told me she purposely diverts crazy people who call in (potential clients) to the other attorneys and only gives me the normal people.

There was no giving up for me! I went to the hospital knowing I would be getting the epidural all four times. This time too, from day one I was like drug me drug me as soon as humanly possible. There was a chance hubby would miss the birth of our second and his sister was on call- she knew the plan drug me fast.
My only birth plan was not cussing. No lie! I was and still am terrified of cussing at my husband during child birth. Always hated it when it happens in the movie.

When I was pregnant with my first my hubby suggested I try all natural to save money...I gave him a death stare and said I don't care how much it costs, if this is coming out of me I don't want to feel it. No giving up for me. I just knew I didn't want to feel it when I didn't have to. And I have been told i have a high pain tolerance.
I went in thinking I would go unmedicated. I literally lasted all of 45 minutes. As they were giving me my epidural, I had morphine and fentanyl in my system and I was sucking back the gas like it was a wonder drug. I am not afraid to say I gave up and I'm not ashamed. Stuff like that puts undue pressure on women for things to be done "right". "Right" is subjective, different for everyone and often can change in an instant.
My confession is, and I want it on record that I'm NOT a judgey person by nature, but I feel like many mamas give up too early on unmedicated births I feel horrible thinking it but every single one of my gfs asked for an epidural the second they were admitted without even seeing how their pain tolerance is and what their amazing bodies are capable of! We can do it! Haha please don't hate me.
Let's break this down a little since you are majorly back-pedaling currently.
1. You are really not the best person to determine your level of natural judgey-ness. Most people claim to be totally unbiased and no one is.
2. You said you are talking about medical professio als but this clearly says your gfs asked for the epidural. This doesn't sound like a case of "omg the medical community didn't educate and just pushed the drugs"!
If you can't stand the heat then stay out of the kitchen.
As many people have already said, not everyone desires a med-free birth regardless of complications.
To reiterate... what you just said was "I am totally not judging but I am actually judging if you have these circumstances and don't do things the way I did them."
"If you can't stand the heat then stay out of the kitchen" i'm in the kitchen. bring it on

i don't see the point in playing these little weekly FFFCs and UOs if some ladies get their panties in a bunch about it. get over it. we have opinions and things we secretly think. i'm totally judging you mean girls lol grow up and deal with the fact that people have varying views. jeesh
But really can't we just move on and forget this little chat ever happened

FFFC: I loudly said "how freaking obnoxious can one be?!?" When another mom from another team put her shit as close to on top of mine as she could get in the dressing room with the entire room empty. Umm I got there and planted my stuff first. I will not accept your stare down lady, I will continue to rant loudly until you get the hint to get the eff away from me!!!!
Totally used pregnancy to skip out on a rehearsal that's supposed to start in a half hour. I'm exhausted and cranky and we started 40 minutes late the last rehearsal and stayed late because of the late start. I didn't get home until 10:30pm last time.
I should feel bad, but I don't because it's for a non-paying gig next weekend.
We have non-alcoholic margarita mix in the house.

@buttercream_frosting same, but hi I'm getting an epidural incase anyone was wondering, because I've already decided at 18 weeks I'm giving up on my labor.. #noragrets
I've thought about adding this to the Things To Do Differently thread "I won't get an epidural this time because I'm not a quitter! LOL SIKE!" (Psych?)
i quit on the epidural, birthing in general, BFing...and at this point i am about to throw in the towel on parenting too and just let the ipad take it from here.
@carries2018 the iPad and daycare basically raise my child.
