Coz I know y'all are on the edge of you seats waiting.
went fine, I tried to be vague about period/dates/tell her I'm sure I ovulated sure late etc in case she tried to dismiss my u/s request (hippy midwife practice) anyway I'm scheduled for 830 am Monday.
Apparantly they aren't doing the NT test anymore they are doing the newer early blood tests that are more accurate. They say you can also find out the sex from these tests! And they can be done from 10w on. I don't know! Find out the sex now or wait til 18w?!
the bad part is now I won't get a 12w u/s. they really don't do u/s there unless there is a reason but they say I can come in any time at all and hear the heartbeat for reassurance.
also my nausea got even worse tonight and I've eaten four Popsicles for dinner as the thought of actual food is making my mouth water so badly (in a bad way) Uggggggg I need this to end.
That's how Biblio found out Ruby is a girl! I don't know... The only reason I would be hesitant is because it's not as exciting as seeing it on the US. But you could know so early!! Hard decision!! Glad you get an US and everything looked good!
She is saying edd is probably april 23rd but I know the u/s should say more like 28th and I will demand they change it officially! Not having another pitocin induction if I can help it.
I can't even be happy for you. I am too jealous about the harmony test. Get it! Get it now!
She didnt schedule it, just said any time after ten weeks but my next appt is not til oct 5th. I'm thinking I will call prior and schedule the test? I really would rather know ASAP about the trisomies.
Glad it went well. Sorry you are sick. I'm adding popsicles to my shopping list.
My OB recently told me that they offer the Harmony test to everyone now, too. How far along are you? My due date (on paper) is also 4/28.
I think 7.5 weeks? But I won't create a ticker until the dating u/s.
she said dating u/s at 8w is extremely accurate which is why I'm assuming I'll be told 27/28th. Based on my positive ovulation test on the 4th August this is I think what the Internet told me.
Glad everything went well. I would TOTALLY get the test and find out ASAP!! I need to know these things...I mean...if it were me, I would need to know. And, I've said it before, but I went through 11 CASES (100ct) of those long plastic wrapped ice pops during my pregnancy. I ate 1 every 5-10 minutes in the early days. Hope you feel better
Great news!!! Find out now please! I can't wait to hear do you have a gut feeling?
I dunno I feel like the fact I'm so nauseous again means another girl yet I can't picture it being a girl? I am picturing a baby boy and that is what "seems" right in my head lol
We have all the girl clothes already though! But I would like a son...
I would definitely want to know asap about the trisomies, preferably before I told people about my pregnancy.
I've already told several people but I'd certainly rather know before I told work. Also if I decided to terminate I would probably lie/be vague and tell people I "lost baby" because of the judgement

I had bad MS this time! It came later but it was awful. Zofran did NOT help this time.

This is what I would do too . I actually sometimes think about whether or not of post it on here. I'm sure someone would flame me for that.
Good luck on Monday! Maybe you should start hoping for twins- a boy and a girl. That way you get your 3 kids, another girl, AND a son!
I also didn't tell work or very many people (ILS included) until I was 4.5 months. There were issues and if H and I decided to terminate, I didn't want judgment or his parents to shove their Catholic thoughts on us.
I agree, I think I would share here. I don't imagine anyone would publicly flame though I'm sure some would silently judge. But, whatever. If we don't talk about this shit then it never becomes ok and the guilt will never go away. We need to let people know the things they decide with regards this difficult stuff, is normal and accepted and it doesn't mean you are a shitty person.
I don't want to bring a child into this world who will live a brief life of pain and suffering. And yes, selfishly, I don't want to live that life.
