Congrats on team blue Paiytonsmummy!
FX it is a girl sister rose. If our gender can't be determined on Wed, we will pay for a private scan. It is about $95 here.
 
I would recommend a private scan too girly.. to put your mind at rest. At the end of the day its our babies and bodies, if you were not happy then it will be nice to repeat it.
 
I know she managed to get all measurements and that baby is perfectly healthy, I feel like I was cheated out of my bonding session with bubs. Does that make sense? I wasn't really able to see the screen and we didn't get a good scan picture. Think I've just convinced myself into booking a scan. And OH is happy if he gets to see baby again. :)
 
I have also been disappointed with my scans. I won't be getting anymore scans unless my new dr wants to do one. I'm moving so I will be seeing a new dr in August. I hope i get a scan then! All of my scans have been nice during but at the same time seem to go by so fast and I never get good pics. I havnt even got the traditional ultra sound shot ( with the baby from the profile). I want it!
 
Me too! My doctor is great, but our scans are so, so short. I don't have any more either :-(

I really, really want a 3D ultrasound.
 
I ended up having a couple more scans after my 20 week one ( i had a low lying placenta and i was overdue so they wanted to make sure everything was ok.) I found a REALLY nice ultrasound tech that i LOVE and i am going to him now. He understands that this is and experience for us aswell and hiding the screen and not saying a word often can make us nervous. So he shows the screen the whole time and explains everything he is doing and all the measurement. He is so awesome and doesnt rush anything! He is as good as paying for a private scan. The only thing is the private scans are in 3D which is always nice but again, i would highly recommend getting one! :) (BTW Girly- i walked away from my 20 week scan crying last time so no, you are not the only one!)
 
I can't believe they wouldn't let you see the screen. I guess I got lucky that my ultrasound clinic takes their time and that you get to see the ultrasound on a big TV screen the whole time. At our 18 weeks scan the tech was even nice enough to double check for us to make absolute sure that he was a boy. I hope that you can get a better experience with a private scan.
 
Sorry to butt in, i'm coming on for a moan. I am bloody fed up of not sleeping. It's always worse in the week, prob coz i am very aware that the alarm wiill go off and i can't just sleep til i want. So it is now 4am. Been awake since i. Went to the loo at half 1. I also had a horrible dream about dh cheating on me, it was very graphic as in everything happenibg right before my eyes. So i'm also fuming at him. On top of that my hips hurrt aand i can't breathe (asthma). Getting. V pissed off!!!!!!! Argh, needed to vent that! Xxxx ps i know none of these things r serious but just needed a little moan
 
So sorry Broody! I know how you feel! I am always so tired, but can never sleep at night! I have had some WEIRD and graphic dreams too. Lovely hormones I suppose. Maybe try a body pillow for your hips? I tried and it didn't work for me, but everyone swears by them, so hopefully it will work for you!
 
I know how you feel. :-( usually I can't sleep because of my acid reflux or because the space between my hips and ribs on either or both sides feels like my skin is stretching to the point of explosion.

I did read tonight, however, that instead of tossing and turning all night, it's actually better for you to get up and watch tv or a "boring activity". You'll fall asleep faster when you get your mind off it.
 
Oh: m sorry, I know what you mean thou. I had it with my last pregnancy and it started a couple weeks ago with this one. Unfortunately it never weny away with me and only got worst by the end :( ... I think it might be your bodies way of preparing you for no sleep after the baby is born! Lol!
 
I'm still sleeping but my hip has been killing me since Saturday! I thought it was just me! I guess it is pregnancy related.

So both of my pregnant friends gave birth last night! I need Ripley to keep baking for another 4 months but it doesn't mean I'm not excited for her to get here!!!
 
I had a dream last night/this morning about Marin being here and just snuggling and loving her. Then I woke up. Cruel, cruel trick.

Only about 3 and a half months!
 
My 20w scan was not that great..all previous ones were excellent. I was in a scan room that never had the tv to watch baby on, and could not really see on the sonographers screen. Baby was also very uncooperative in regards to movement..and the pics were rubbish. I have had so many scans though now that I am in my 6th pregnancy so I dont really feel cheated.
 
Oh and sleeping is starting to get hard for me too.

My left hip is a bit sore..and getting up to pee overnight a couple of times. It only gets worse from here ;)
 
I've also been having a ton of trouble sleeping at night. My left hip gets sore easily when I lay on it and my abdomen seems to constantly feel sore. It also doesn't help that Liam seems to like to move around a lot right when I lay down to go to sleep. :wacko:
 
Sorry I've been a slacker ladies! I've been reading, but not posting.
I definitely haven't been sleeping at all and I've been super busy planning my daughters 1st bday party...it's been chaos. This pregnancy is flying by..even though I still have my picc line and still don't feel great, I've been very preoccupied and busy trying to keep up with my almost 11 month old, so time is flying!

We'll all be meeting our little peanuts in no time! Just have to get through the summer..

Hope you ladies can get some sleep :)
