Yeah me n hubby love bella was thinking maybe isabella but then thought we would always shorten it to bella anyways. Am really stuck with boy names though.
 
We have decided on Alfie for a boy, we both love it :) we will actually be more stuck if we have a girl as we have a few names to choose from and we don't agree on our favourite lol!
 
I don't know if we will find out, unless its obvious and can't be avoided! I quite liked the surprise but at the same time it would be handy. We are completly stuck with names this time around, last time OH knew instantly. I'd be super stuck on boys names.
 
ITS A GIRL! :pink::pink::pink::pink:

When they told me at 12w3d, that they were almost 100% sure I was having a little girl, I was skeptical. Even after they said, they are only wrong 2-3 times a year, I still thought there was no way to tell that early. But they were totally right LOL

My appointment went great! Since this is baby #3, my appointments go pretty quickly. I never have any big questions to ask or anything. So we did an ultrasound, took some measurements and all looked fabulous. Baby is measuring a day or two big, but thats always normal for me. The scan pictures are much blurrier this time around, so Im not gonna bother posting them. They dont really look like anything. Im glad I have video of the actual ultrasound though.

It was discovered I have an anterior placenta, so that kinda sucks :(

I also asked for my NT scan results. They dont call you with them, unless something is wrong. So I knew they were okay, but I wanted to know exact numbers. My tri 18 risk was 1/10,000 and my Downs risk was 1/8,300. NT fold was 1.2mm. We are so thrilled with that!!! :happydance:

Cant wait to find out what all you ladies are having!!
 
Aw Bkay yay!!! :happydance: how exciting!!! you have any names you like ?

we are team blue and are naming him Solomon Garn :D

Oh Im so.happy for you! Cant wait till the other ladies start telling.us their teams !
 
Thanks Stelly! Right now our #1 name is Noelle. But I'm still unsure. I love my daughters name so much, Im having a hard time finding another that I love as much. It kinda feels like Im just picking leftover names for our new little girl. Hopefully "the one" will pop out at me soon. Love your name for your little boy!!!
 
Congrats on team :pink: bkay :)

We're most likely going to stay team :yellow: (of course that will depend on willpower on the day!), but I'm really excited to see what everyone else is having :haha:
 
I wanna find out and ryan doesnt so im not sure if ill just leave it because if i find out its a boy ill be over the moon and id have a hard time keeping it to myself with a huge cheesey on my face.

But i do have my names choosen Luke for a boy and Paige for a girl lol I did have a list but ryan score most of them off
 
See with us I'm not that fussed about finding out but DH keeps saying he wants to even though we agreed a while ago that we wouldn't! I don't think I'll give in though, he'll have to wait for the surprise in march :haha:
 
Turns out what i thought was the babies hb on my doppler the other day was my placenta:dohh: im so stupid lol
I know baby was ok as docs checked twice the other day ( thats wen they told me the noise i thought was bubs was actually my placenta) so am a bit disappointed i have my doppler but cant find babys hb. I know its prob coz i have an anterior placenta as it took the midwife 15 mins to find it the other day n they know what their listening for! Just feel disappointed!

Congrats bkay on ur scan xxxx
 
Oh that's disappointing Anna, but at least you know baby is fine too :) I'm sure it won't be much longer before you can find it yourself.

I'm still going back and forth on the whole doppler thing. On one hand I want to get one because I don't have another appointment for a couple of weeks and want to know everything is fine, but on the other I'm worried that I'll get one and won't be able to find the hb and completely freak out about it. If the latter were the case I think it would have a negative effect on my already anxious state recently! I think once I can feel this little peanut moving I'll feel so much better.

I have an anterior placenta too. You have to push HARD to find it. I find its easier for me, to eat something to get baby moving, then I push down a little with one hand, then use the dopper with the other hand(right next to the other hand) and just push the wand down pretty hard. The doppler has skin, tissue and a big fat placenta to get through. You will find it, it just takes practice to figure out the best way to find for you. :) Good luck
 
Hiya ladies
i'm due march 24th 2013.
thought i'd pot on and say hi
 
This is probably a stupid question but how do you know that you're hearing the placenta not the hb?
 
There are some good videos on you tube you can watch that will help you...the placenta sounds a bit more like a wooshing noise and the baby hb sounds more like a galloping horse..it sounds a lot like yours but way faster... I have an anterior placenta and have been able to find it. But I have to push pretty hard and its still low by my pubic bone. I've only once been able to actually listen to it once for more then 30 sec as baby tends to move away pretty quick. I think the baby was sleeping the time I got to listen to it for a few minutes

the fast beat is the babies and the slower noise in the back ground is hers .. hope this helps
