No that makes sense hun of course, if it's something I need to do for baby then I'll do it. It's odd, because I only had hypertension with dd1, was fine with dd2 although had a couple of hospital visits where my bp had gone sky high but after over night monitoring it always went back down again I guess I should just be thankful they're giving a sh!t as the hospital I had my daughters in were pretty crap!

Mummylaura, I think all of the potty shots on here so far (from uk ladies at least) have been privately I've never known an NHS anomaly scan to print off potty shots, they usually either just offer you a profile shot or nothing at all! I think those done at 20w, privately or NHS, will be pretty accurate as everything is well and truly developed then and unless the cords in the way on a baby girl there's usually no mistaking it! I had my gender scan done at 16+1 but I'd been put forward and I don't really think I should have been, so definitely getting them to check next week but I doubt the baby will have grown a scrotum by then

Morning,
lovely bumps.
Welcome new ladies.
I find out tomorrow too. Can't wait xx

I am so excited for you!!! I know the night before I went in for my gender scan I could not sleep a wink lol, even more than usual lol.

Wildchic this is my sons potty shot! No mistaking he's all boy

Congrats hun!! I bet you are so excited!!

As for the pictures and the potty shots. I got really lucky, the doctors here wanted to do multiple ultrasounds and they gave me 4 pictures each time. The private place that I first went to was really awesome. I paid $70 and they gave me a whole gift box, and a CD With 30 3d/4d pictures and the whole thing recorded on video. I was surprised by this because we only paid for the 2d gender scan lol.

The tech at the private scan told me it was the easiest gender scan she had to do yet. Our little girl just let everything open on the screen almost like she was sitting on it lol.

I've never been given a potty shot at nhs scan either but this will be first time at the hospital I am using this time. I know they won't tell me gender tho xx

They don't tell you the gender back at home where my parents live but they do where I'm living now so we will get to find out 1 week from now.

I had my appointment with the psychiatrist yesterday and he sent some people to the house today and they have to come everyday and on Monday they are sending another doctor to come and review and they keep talking about tablets but they never work so i probably won't take them. They say they have referred me to some specialist midwives but I don't really know. It's all very overwhelming...

Hope everyone is okiee.

Xxxxx

I have been reading what some of you ladies have been saying about the gender scans. I am really sorry that they won't tell you the gender at your normal hospital. It makes no sense since they can see it, why not tell you? I am confused about this. Here in the US they make it a priority to check the baby's health but they also tell you the gender afterwards.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I think it's possibly down to some getting it wrong and then complaints? Probably covering their own arses.

That makes sense, in a way lol. I wish they would just tell you guys so you don't have to pay extra for a private scan.

 

[brunettebimbo]

My hospital will tell you I just didn't want to wait

I've also heard that it can be due to high numbers of different cultures in certain areas who may experience gender disappointment, I'm not sure how true that is Though.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I've heard that too.

Baby looked great at the anatomy scan. Here's my very obvious potty shot. Can you tell what team we're destined to stay on?????

MummyLaura - they do it all at every scan I have. Nothing private or out of pocket paid here, this is all covered by my insurance at my run of the mill appointments. They take about 90 minutes and go over every single part of each of them including detailed video of heart, brain, stomach, kidneys etc and always do a quick flash of the bits at the end.

I got about 50 uploaded to a DVD this time as well as video, usually it's more like 20 but since this was 20 week they went over faces, fingers, toes etc to look closely for physical deformities as well.

There is NO denying both ours are boys lol

 

[messica]

Babies were positioned oddly with B's butt and legs pretty much right in front of A's head. B's monkey toes were in almost every A face shot and video she tried to get until B flipped at the very end and they were both breech and head to head again lol

 

[DolceBella]

Great pics Messica!

 

[Kiwiberry]

I can't wait to go in at 30 weeks and get some 3d/4d images!!! I have some now from a previous ultrasound but they are not that distinct.

@messica, that is about how my doctor's works as well. I only get 4 images instead of 20 though. They were printed out as well. The private place I went to gave me a CD with 30 3d/4d images and the whole thing recorded. Along with a nice gift package.

Congrats on being team pink dolce and kiwi!!!!
