awesome scan Shocker! so happy you got to see you little one moving around and got good pics!
I get to see my little nugget on Wednesday the 18th at 6 pm so maybe DH can show up. I refused the NT part of the scan because it only gives you indication you might have a chance of a problem and I don't need any more red flags and fears popping up. I get a level 2 u/s at 18 - 20 weeks and they can check for Downes markers then, along with my afp test at 16 weeks. 1st appt went well, doc very reassuring, and apparently I didn't really put any weight on, despite the fact that my pants no longer fit?? Maybe I weighed less than I thought I did originally. Yay me?

hi ya hunnies have any of you ladies done the red cabbage gender test
JUST FOR FUN

i thought it would be fun to do so i did it a few weeks ago and it went a red/ purple colour and i confused but as i got put back on my dates it would of ment i was only like 3 and a half ish weeks pregnant and i think i did to wrong as i left water hot and didnt measure amounts

but seen as i have some cabbage and in almost 8 weeks supposedly the ideal time to do it i thought id read up and give it a bash well my water has cooled now and its a defo deep purple girl result

will any of you ladies be doing this and have any of you ladies done this before and was it wrong or right for u

just a fun way to pass the time for 9 months i think

doesn't it bring you to ? I feel so much better having heard it...now I'm worried because I have had to search for it sometimes for a while, and I have checked every day (sometimes more than once if I didn't pick it up the first time), and now I'm reading it should only be used in moderation. Will now have to limit myself to only check every few days I guess ?

This is a new one to me? I only heard of the chinese gender chart and the needle on a string test which always seemed to work for me. This time around depending on the website I visit the chinese chart gives me varied results. the needle test said girl yesterday. Someone on one of the other threads mentioned the baking soda test, which gave me mixed results depending on if I added urine to baking soda (girl) or baking soda to urine (boy). Maybe I've got twins growing in there and the gender prediction fairies are messing with my mind

 

[flutterbaby]

this one you add both to a seperate cup and get the results i wish i knew how to upload photos but im so thick

Perpetualmama. Defo the best feeling . Oh im glad im not the only one i freek out when i dont find it as well first day took ages and i wasnt even sure i was doing it right. Today i worked out that if i tilted to little probe thing slighly towards my belly i could pick up the heartbeat alot quicker and the sound would be better but i only moved it ever so slightly. I panic when it takes more than 10 secs to find babys heartbeat its crazy lol.



Flutterbaby ive never heard of that one before sounds interesting

Both DH and I got an unexpected day off from work, so I called the radiology dept and rescheduled my scan from Wednesday at 6 pm to...an hour from now!! time to start filling my bladder! Can't wait to see the little nugget

So none of these are great profile shots... most of the time our beanie was facing front. But you get the idea.

Holy cow, could I see him/her wiggling/jiggling/dancing. It was awesome.
