SMH. I just noticed that all of you ladies know what your having. I don't get to find out the gender for another couple weeks- my doctors need to have a good look at my LO's heart to make sure it doesn't have any defects so they asked me to wait until for the gender ultrasound until after 20 weeks. I'll be about 22 weeks before we get to find out if we're having a boy or girl.
What???? I've never heard of this before. Why can't they tell you at the same appt?? We went to an outside appt at 17 weeks to find out. You can always lie and say you're going on vacation for an earlier date
My youngest brother was born with 3 holes his his heart and had to have open heart surgery at 3 months old, and I have a blood clotting disorder, which is why they want to look at the heart when it's developed more completely. Originally they were going to do my gender scan at 20 weeks and then the scan for the baby's heart at 22 weeks, but at my last OB appointment (18weeks) they asked if I wouldn't mind waiting and doing them both together at 22 weeks. *Shrugs*
The scans would have been at 2 different hospitals since my OB would have done the gender one and my Specialist would have done the heart one. My DH just broke his arm about a week ago so we decided to wait and just have the one appointment in case he wasn't up to driving and I had to find rides to them... Like he's had to do with the appointments he's had for his arm. He's on leave from work on doctors orders.
