Update and ? : Can I have some sticky baby vibes?

[pittpurple]

I'm horrible... Dulce, so glad that everything looks okay so far. Spotting is horrible and terrifying but it really can be nothing at all. Drink lots and keep your feet up. Catch up on some silly movies!

Glad to hear everything is okay!

I wanted to be Team Green but my DH wanted to know. I didnt say anything to the doctor before the scan because I didnt think it would be possible to find out now.

Then I heard: nene (boy) but my DH said he heard niña. (girl)

But when I asked him again, if he really heard niña. He said he is not sure. I guess we are going to find out because he is all nervous now.

It would be so much easier if it was in English. Boy or Girl. Cant get that mixed up.

I am sorry that you are feeling horrible. Is there anything that your doctor can do for you?

The earliest it is possible to tell is 12 weeks, but the baby needs to be in the dead-right position for it. So it's only done when the stars align and it's a blue moon kinda thing. I had 2 sexed at 12 week scans and both were right. The others were later (I get mucho scans so my weeks are "off" from most normal scans). Either way it was way rude to blurt it out like that. Did the tech at least apologize?

Oh, and I love the fact I get to whine about your dumb tech because YOU HAVE A STICKY BABY. Woo hoo!!!!

So glad you got to hear the heartbeat and all is looking good.
About the dr telling you the sex, it would be considered normal to find out the sex, as in it's the default option I think. So that could be why he told you without you asking... Maybe Popcorn can confirm this?

Oh - I just meant I was a horrible person for posting a long post about what I was going to do about finding out the sex of the baby without even sending you my well wishes! Also... this is a post about you, not me

Am so glad that things are looking good for you, take care of yourself!

Pittpurple:
No worries
Are you going to do the scan? I think it is a good idea to do the scan because it will give you a peace of mind. However, the people who do it are doctors or are certified technicians? I would just want to make sure before I did, just so they wouldn't give you any wrong information.

Hiya,
I am going to do it. I think it will help me calm down a bit and my mom would love to be here for something like that. I found this company - www.ultrasound-direct.com/babybond-pregnancy-scans/gender-scan/
It was recommended on a couple UK sites and seems legit - there's a downtown location so I can get there easily and it's not horrifically expensive. Honestly, I would happily have a scan every week if I could afford it so I think I'll be doing pretty well to hold out for 3-4 weeks now!

[dulcemariamar]

Cool! So you going to find out the sex?? Do you have any feelings about what it might be?

[pittpurple]

DH keeps saying 'he' but I keep thinking it's a girl. Absolutely thrilled with either of course! What about you? You're only a couple weeks behind me... are you looking pregnant yet? Any guesses on what you're having?

[dulcemariamar]

Like I said in my previous post, I wanted to be Team Green and I actually got my DH on-board with the idea. However, since the doctor told us yesterday the sex, but we both understood something different we still don't know. I will probably find out because my DH is now going crazy not knowing.


I really could care less. The only person who cares, is my MIL because she really wants us to have a boy because she already has two granddaughters. 8-D

I don't know what I am having. My friend said I probably am having a boy because I don't have morning sickness. I am not sure if there is an link between the two.

[pittpurple]

Was just curious if you had a 'feeling'!
I know DH wants a boy, particularly because this will likely be our only (bio) child but I know he'd be happy with whatever. I'm not good with surprises! And... if it is a boy, we'll need to sort out a bris for him which might be a challenge since there are no Jews here so I'd like some warning!

[anna7602]

The whole confusion between niño and niña is why most Cubans refer to their male and female children as "hembra" or "varón," something DH found really odd the first time he heard a Cuban talking about their children. I never thought about it too much, but I think you should use these words to clarify next time you have a scan.

I can't really answer your original question since I have no idea if 12 weeks is too early or not. We were Team Green and I really liked not knowing. It saved me from getting bags and bags of bright pink clothing from my MIL and from having to discuss names with people (we kept our names to ourselves).
