Hi ladies, thats me just back. My scan went perfect everything is good and healthy. We didnt ask about the sex but Im pretty confident that I got a good view when she zoomed between the legs..,there was 3 very clear lines and def. no penis sticking out so Im thinking girl.

Leliana is that what you saw at your scan when you found out it was a girl?

Also my anterior placenta is high up and I asked the sonographer about it as I dont feel movement yet. She said from her own personal experience that she has 3 kids and 2 of the pregnancies had anterior placentas. She said that there is a huge difference in feeling movement. The placenta is a few centimetres thick of tissue which acts as a shock absorber /cushion so only when you get a hefty kick or punch would you feel it. She said not to worry about not feeling movement as the baby was so lively anyway. Was so cute aswell she even zoomed into the lips, its so amazing how everything is so well formed already.

 

[katestar53]

Wooooooohooo so pleased that everyting went well sweetie Sounds like you have a little girl as well, how exciting. They say about the three lines being a girl. And on ours you coudl quite clearly the willy! Did you get a picture?

They said the same to me as well. He was kicking so much and almost doing sommersults and I still didnt feel a thing!!

 

[grenouille]

Great news Justkeeptrying!!

Good to know about the anterior placenta. I've been feeling some movement in the past 3 days so maybe those are huge kicks

 

[Justkeeptryin]

I got 4 scan pics but to be honest their not great. The sonographer tried to take pics of the face head on which was clear at the time so that you could even see the lips, but by the time the pics were taken the baby had moved. So when you look at the pics you cant really see anything that clear.
As much as the anterior placenta is annoying us just now I think we may be quite grateful for it later on when we're being kicked silly, it will still maybe help.

My next scan is at 28 weeks and will be repeated every 4 weeks. Its growth scans to ensure that the baby has enough room etc.

 

[Nitengale]

Great news Justkeeptrying!

Kate: oh yes we are hoping to find out the gender, hoping baby cooperates, any tips?

 

[love1623]

Congrats Justkeeptrying three lines def sounds like a girl !!

Nitengale the ultrasound tech told me drink glass of orange juice 30 min before session to help baby be active so you could get a good look at parts

Hey sweetie, I'm so glad it went so well! My anterior placenta is high up too which is good for labour but totally normal not to feel all movement. I tend to feel my movement quite low when my little lady is kicking me!

As for the sex - yes that is exactly my experience! When the sonographer checked for the bladder she looked underneath between her legs and we saw three very clear, very distinct white lines. No willy at all! My husband and I said we both knew at that point it was a girl, before the sonographer even confirmed it. When she did confirm it she did so by checking the lines and telling us that is the way you can tell. If the legs were nicely open, there is no way of denying it as the penis simply isn't there. Congrats!!

Nitengale - after my friend had a frustrating scan where her baby was laying it's stomach and wouldn't move, I decided to be proactive. I drank half a cup of coffee before the scan (my first throughout this whole pregnancy lol!) and ate a handful of maltesers. My LO was moving perfectly, not too much but she definitely wasn't asleep. I had a bar of chocolate in my handbag on standby too in case she needed a sugar boost to get her going. I had heard juice is good too. I think something sugary is the key here xxx

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Thanks Leliana, thats exactly what I saw what you described haha
My husband was oblivious to it as he didnt know what he was looking for. Im still keeping it an element of surprise as I didnt ask the sonographer to confirm it but Im pretty certain x

 

[grenouille]

I should have read those tricks before my scan! It was right before lunch and I had only eaten a few raspberries to keep me from getting too hungry. Maybe that's why it's legs were closed

I thought my hubby was oblivious too but afterwards he admitted to me he had spent the entire day prior to the scan googling what to look for! I thought I was being dead clever when I'd clocked her white lines but he said he already knew lol. I really should give him more credit

 

[Leliana]

Grenouille - hehe, maybe your little one is just more refined! Ours apparently have no shame, legs wide open

 

[LalaR]

Leliana and Justkeep - congratulations on the scans and being in team pink. I'm glad everyone is starting to feel some flutterings now. My little wriggle has been so active the past 2 days and it feels like he or she is tickling me from inside. It nearly got me into trouble in a work meeting as I had to bite my lip to stop myself laughing!! Still 3 weeks to wait for my scan. Now starting to worry I will be able to tell the gender as we really don't want to know and I would never be able to keep it a secret from DH. I don't care what we have as long as they are healthy.
