That is a good thing about the hospitals being for-profit in America. We have access to really nice scans. My doctor's office has a high-tech machine in a room that looks a little bit like a theater. They have a big screen TV on the wall across from the bed so you can see the scan as it happens, and they turn the lights out so it's nice and dark.

But scans are like $800 each. I think I pay about $300 out of pocket after insurance.



Been watching that website I linked to! Yesterday, I had a weird, tube-like, vagina-looking thing, this morning I had something that looked like a tadpole. Then I just checked it a few minutes ago, and its little heart had started slowly beating! I hope that's really happening inside me! :cloud9:
 
I will be getting tons of u/s anyways and I will be seeing a specialist and they have the higher end machines, that can do the 3D pics. But I have had those other type of u/s too. Then again, since I have had so many, I know what I am looking at on the screen now :haha: Now if I did want to get a private one here I would have to travel 4hrs and then pay for it....not feasible for us.

Only two more days until my first appt. I am sure I won't be seeing the OB until around 8 weeks as usual.

That is what my Dr office looks like too. Love the big screen tv's as they do the scans.

I had that vagina on my screen too hahaha, but that is so cool that you are seeing the heart already!!

Are any of you renting or buying a doppler? I did last time, I may do it again this time too.
 
There's a private just-for-fun place next to my favorite Mexican restaurant, which is my major craving.

Here's what they offer:

It's ridiculous that this place is able to make a profit off these prices, but the doctor's office charges $800 for a 2D scan! I guess the medical diagnostics are figured in, but still! $300 should cover that.



AFTG, I've always said I wanted to get a doppler, but I've never made it far enough to use one. I'm hoping I will this time!
 
Ohh look at that cheesey grin hahaha... that is deffo what i expected when i clicked that link lmao.... some cheesy guy rubbing a belly haha x
 
:rofl:

It's all about the warm-and-fuzzies, Rhi! Come on! lol
 
They haven't missed a trick

cheesy man rubbing a belly
prince or princess scans

Ginger, I agree about the scans in the U.S. towards the end you can even see your baby's face. I have 2.5 weeks until my first scan, blood work, etc. I'm very excited about it all.

I don't think we will do the 4D scan because we want his/her face to be a surprise!

I think my appointments will only cost about $10 each because I work at a teaching/research hospital, so we get a really big cut on the price. I don't mind residents being there when I deliver either. I remember being in dental hygiene school and being very anxious/eager to learn my trade.

I'm feeling very weepy and emotional today. I hope this passes. :cry:

Also, I miss coffee and craft beer and wine, and hanging out with my husband and watching sports. :-({|=
 
omg GIRLS!!!! I have just made a boobie about my boobies!!!

I thought I was sending OH a video about me home from work, just got into bed for hours kip and how much my boobs were sore and the left boob was bigger than the right boob and he was to blame for my sore boobs etc... when I got a call off my daughter crying laughing...




I had only sent the bloody video to my son in Law.. he was on the phone too we were all crying laughing so much.. hahahaha.. good job I was still dressed when I made the video.. that will teach me wanting to save time on typing and just sending a video instead!!!


Midwife rang me today I have an appt on Valentines day at 6pm at the birthing centre which is where I first met my OH (well not the birthing centre but dept next door A&E) but it's mad to have a Valentines appt there.. and I thought I would of been seen at a different hospital... Oooooo my scan is monday coming..

og and nausea has set in.. surviving on Bananas and ready salted crisps. x
 
Natasha, I got dark line at 15dpo with superdrug but I know people that use superdrug and get lighter lines at same date.. they are not all the same amounts of dye in them.. FX for you x
 
Omg Serenjay! !!

I feel like it's still an age away til my scan but at least we have a nice holiday coming up. Will need to be careful what I'm eating while we're away and only use bottled water but we would do that anyway (going to Thailand ) :happydance:
 
Serenjay oh my that is hilarious.....so do they know that you are expecting??

tally that sound like a nice getaway. Enjoy!!

Oh I seem to be very ravenous today....maybe I just need more water.....if I eat like crazy now I am going to be a blimp in a few short weeks. Trying to stay decent with my portions.

Yea we're really looking forward to it - we don't get to see my dad often at all as he's overseas working. His wife is from the part of Thailand we're visiting and is going to show us around :D

I am horrendously hungry as well! I'd been trying to cut back to drop a few pounds before the holiday but no chance now :rofl:

Omg GingerPanda I just went on that site, it's well cool! I currently see the weird vagina-looking thing lol!

Does anyone else have a lot of wetness 'down there'? I keep running to the loo panicking that I'm bleeding but when I wipe it's completely clear
 
Allforthegirl yes they know, my daughter was here when I done the final dark test at 15dpo.. so I didnt have to explain the boobs hahahaha :rofl:

I have also not stopped eating... porridge 8am, banana, bread and ready salted crisps by 11am, subway veggie at 1, satsuma more ready salted crisps and a bagel and now about to make some Beans on toast :rofl: im off to "go outdoors" for my dresses next week (camp shop for tents) :haha:
 
I too have been emotional. I was watch Master Cheff and I was in tears watch the kids getting the boot. Dh just looked at with very caring eyes then laughed at me. Honestly I don't he knew how to respond to hormonal tears. :haha: I have try very hard to keep my emotions in check. But if I let go I don't think I will stop :nope:
 
Aw I don't think a good cry is such a bad thing x
 
My GD was crying on the phone last night and I burst into tears!!! I was a proper blubbering wreck!!
 
Tally yes to wet feeling.. and ditto.. panic!! still on wee watch!!

Welcome Sharmon.. congratulations.. :)
