I have an ultrasound today

[ElizabethBennet]

It's the NT scan and I'm nervous and hope everything is okay. I haven't seen the baby or the heartbeat since 6 weeks and I'm now 13.5 weeks. I have no reason to believe everything isn't fine, but I'm still nervous.

Also, what are the odds they'll be able to make a guess about the sex of the baby?

I am having NT scan today too!! I read that IF your u/s tech or doctor will make an (educated) guess it can be up to 85% accurate at this point. I think a lot don't want to try to guess though. We are planning to ask too.

We had an u/s at 8 weeks, but I got spoiled by the RE so it feels like FOREVA ago, so I am a bit nervous too.

Good luck to both of you today!

[nmosrob]

Good luck you two!

Good luck ladies! I understand the nerves, I was nervous too. Hope everything goes well!

[estrellita]

Hope it goes well! I was nervous before our a/s because all the what ifs started floating around in my head, so I can relate! I don't know how accurate guessing the sex would be right now. I'm guessing not super accurate. If they make a guess they'll probably warn you not to buy anything yet!

Good luck ladies!!!

The NT was the only time I almost caved with the gender. It wouldn't have mattered if I had though. The tech said her best guess would only have been 51/49% at that point due to bunny's position.

Good luck! My U/S tech wouldn't even try to guess at my NT scan.

[ElizabethBennet]

Good luck whiskeyandwine!

I just finished mine and everything was good! The baby looks healthy and we got to hear the heartbeat.

[starburst604]

Good luck! I have mine tomorrow, I'll only be 11+3 so I'm sure it's too early to tell. We'll get the results through the blood work soon though!

Hope it went well for you both.

It's interesting that so many people got a guess at the sex at the NT Scan. The tech wouldn't do it at mine.

[whiskeyandwine]

Mine guessed, but she said a lot of the techs in her office won't do it.

[nextbigthing]

Mine wouldn't guess, but I had the blood draw for the Panorama test that same day so we found out the sex that way.

Glad it went well! Ultrasounds are so fun! I wish I was having more, now I don't get to see him until he's born, 18 weeks is a long time!
