January Jellybeans 2013!...

[jrowenj]

Yep, I told DH if I put it any lower, it would be inside! I went all over, from belly button down and can only find myself in a few places. It's so upsetting

At 12 weeks Eva was right on my pubic line and a little to the left

I agree! Likeright where bikini line starts. Try holding the wand towards ur pubic area instead of flat towards ur back

Jrow- i may need some pointers im sure once it arrives. Good to know about the fully tummy and bladder!

I was telling hubby that once i see we got it in the mail im using it right away, i always get home before he does.... he was being funny and said "ohhh do i get to play Dr.!?" haha bc he wants to try and find the heartbeat with the probe.

i hope it shouldnt be too hard to find my little bean bc of where the Dr. told me he implanted.... from the scan we were able to see the beanie at 7 weeks 2 days with an abdominal scan bc gummy bear attached on the front part of my utereus! she was impressed as normally they can see anything thru the abdominal scan that early, usually only vaginal. So im hoping this mean his heart beat with be loud right in front!.

I read about a lady using her doppler and found her heartbeat and paniced bc the rate was so low.... i need to remeber not to do that to myself and cause worry!

If u find a low hb its probably ur own so, u can check ur pulse while u listen to see if ur heaeing ur own. Lots of helpful youtube videos! Omg my husband always wants to do the wand but
ts so much easier to do urself. He gets mad at me bc im like go lower push harder hahahaha

 

[JCh]

My DH asked to try the last time I used it and it was actually much easier and helped him understand that the baby moves and it's not just me losing the hb... LOL, kind of a bonding experience!

i hear ya, i keep feeling like im having a boy but then i feel like a girl...i cant wait for my gender scan AUGUST 6th!! my chinese gender prediction is also a boy!!
WHEN DO YOU HVE YOUR GENDER SCAN???/ soo exciting right???

My gut feeling changes daily! Hahahaha one minute I think girl one minute boy. My friend said she did that chinese gender predictor for all of her friends and it always was accurate. If that's the case than boy for me!

I have an appt tomorrow but its not a scan. The receptionsit said it was a routin OB appt. What the hell does that mean? I want a damn scan! I javent had one since I was 9 weeks!

I dunnoooo. I go to dr tmrw so i will ask tmrw! I cant wait any longerrrrr

In a lot of places you can pay for a private gender scan they sell packages from $50-$300. Maybe look into it if you can't wait til 20 weeks. Most private places let u find out at 16weeks.

Did they talk to you about testing for down syndrome? Cause that's what all these 12 week scans are for. (I think)

the downs syndrome is part of the 20 week scan for me atleast for the rest of the abnormality check

Double post

 

[Betheney]

The 20 week scan isn't as accurate for downs. Well not via the nuchal fold anyway. The nuchal fold reading is best done at 12 otherwise I'd do it at my 20 week one and save a tonne of money.

 

[snowangel187]

I guess every place does it differently.

They gve me an option of testing ds at 12 weeks with a scan and going to a specialist for bw or waiting and getting bw later on so i just opted for the general bw

Im gonna ask my dr at my appt tmrw if i can get an earlier scan! If not i will prob look into a private one!

I'm being sent for a blood test for mine, I don't think there is a scan involved... Apparently it's different in Canada.....

They told me if i wasnt planning on terminating the pregnancy due to ds then i could just get genetic testing via bw later on

I opted out of testing all together last pregnancy. And wouldn't terminate the pregnancy no matter what I'm only doing it this pregnancy cause they are doing ultrasounds at 12(I already had) and 17 weeks just for down syndrome. And if it came back that they wanted to do any further testing like an amino etc I would refuse. Then I'll have my 20 week scan. And probably one around 30ish weeks.

They also did bloodwork, which the nurse just called and said my results were normal.

I feel a little guilty for it but I wanna see baby. I wish I had a friend who was an u/s tech. I even tried talking dh into buying our own ultrasound equipment.

Little J ... my brother-in-law's girlfriend is now 8 months pregnant and never had one day of sickness. Not even nausea. Nothing. Her and baby are both very healthy. I know you worry but try and consider yourself lucky. The MS is no fun at all. Mine has been here almost 2 months straight and while now it is more manageable I wish I had been lucky enough not to have it. I can barely leave my house and when the ms started I couldn't even take care of my daughter. Just know that your little bean is growing and doing good in there! I know you'll feel better when you get your doppler but until then try not to worry.
