PAL - February 2013 rainbow babies

[babydreams85]

Scan went excellent today! Baby measuring 4 days ahead and waving and sucking his/her thumb.

NT measurement was only 1 so doctor said my chances of the bloodwork coming back abnormal are very slim.

Baby kept his/her leg in front of the nub, so I couldn't see anything and the scan tech wouldn't guess either. I'm going to book a private scan at 16 weeks to find out if we are or . I still have a gut feeling it's a little girl, but I am probably WRONG LOL.

I am so relieved!!!

Just out of curiosity, did anyone else pass up/refuse the NT scan/testing?

I just figured that after everything we've gone through to get this baby, there's nothing they could have told us that would have caused us to want to do anything other than HAVE the baby, and so why put ourselves through the needless worry if they saw something early that *might* indicate problems we can't do anything about right now anyways?

Anybody else, or am I way out there?

I refused to have it too, because I didn't need the extra worry. Now I'm a little worried I should have had it. I would not have had an amnio to further test things bcause of the risk of m/c. I would not abort it anyway. Hoping my 2 week scan comes up clean.

Congrats baby dreams! You got some great photos!

I am so happy to report my 12 week scan went well today too! Baby was facing away from us and sleeping but got to see legs crossed and hands up by face. It's so amazing how different everything looks in just a few short weeks! Feeling better and more reassured. Looking forward to second tri!

Congrats, glad everything seems to be going so well for everyone, think I'm coming to terms that I'm going to just be neurotic at every stage, now I'm worried about hearing the hb at 16 weeks and the 20 week scan! might pay for a private scan at 17 weeks before I go on hols just for some reassurance...

We're going to be fine NT babes are growing well, soon enough we'll feel them squirming and kicking, and we'll know all is well!
If you think neurosis is bad during the pregnancy...wait til it comes out and you can't sleep more than a wink because you just have to check on him/her one more time The older I get the worse it is.

I saw a lady with twin boys-maybe 6 onths old- and a toddler at the market (thankfully with her SO) and one of the boys was just screaming and crying. I sent me into a panic. I am so tired right now, and it dawned on me that I'm going to have to deal with THAT again. Don't know if I'll ever feel like I have the energy for newborn care

Yay Rosebud! Glad all went well for you I so wish I'd gone in for a 12 week scan...5-7 more weeks until I see my little one again...but who's counting?

My scan went GREAT! I am so excited and I had myself convinced that they weren't going to let me see anything so it was a pleasant surprise! OH went in with me and my 73 year old grandmother even got to come in for a peek...it was the first ultrasound she's ever seen so that was kinda cool! They didn't tell us an estimated due date...I will get that when I see my doctor on the 22nd! We did have a nice, strong heartbeat of 173 though! And now OH and my Mom are totally convinced that it's a girl! Me, I still think a boy! Now I can't wait until my next scan in September! We will be able to see so much more! A friend just messaged me on fb too and said that she is going to let me borrow her doppler so I am pretty excited about that. So I am feeling much, much more relieved and confident now! And second trimester is finally here so I hope I am out of the woods as they say!
