Tomorrow.....

post #1 of 27

Thread Starter 
Tomorrow is my nt scan. It's basically an extra ultrasound for me but also a scan for genetic abnormalities. Like downs syndrome, spina bifida, etc. I don't have any family history of it but I figure better safe than sorry plus.....extra ultrasound.

I am nervous, not for the actual results because honestly that won't make a difference to us. But because I'm a nervous nelly.

I swear I won't ask again... Lol but could you possibly spare just a wee bit more vibes please. My appt is at nine thirty so I will update afterwards.

I think I am only nervous because there is A LOT of family drama going on plus the holidays plus every day stress. I'm a paranoid mess lol. I would love to poof it all away but I can't. My harry potter wand broke.

Thank you for any vibes and good thoughts spared. I really appreciate it.

Thanks Pam.

I hate trying to explain nerves to df cuz he is all everything is fine.......as reassuring as he tries to be. It doesn't work. Lol. He doesn't get it.

I'm even more nervous because I'm not seeing my Dr tomorrow I'm seeing a midwife in his practice. It's part of their thing you have to meet them all. I have two people I know who have seen her and neither like her. Bad bedside manner and she doesn't know how to work equipment. So that worries me. Plus I want my Dr whom I am comfortable with. Both my neighbor and I have already had a problem with a nurse there. With my neighbor she didn't pay attention came in with paper work to give my neighbor for a d&c for a second trimester miscarriage. The nurse had the wrong room and scared the crap out of my neighbor. When I went in for my scheduling for my d&e the nurse never read my chart and proceded to go thru all the pregnancy stuff and had me in almost hysteria because I had just found out about the miscarriage the day before and was there to schedule my surgery and fill out surgical center paper work. Despite all that I love my Dr. He is amazing and reassuring. He doesn't feed the crazy but he let's the crazy slip in and handles it well.

I am just one giant ball of crazy lol. Poor df stuck dealing with all my neurotic crazyness. Atleast you all only get the internet crazy lol.

You have my wishes for a good outcome.

 

My DH is the same way, he always tells me everything will be fine.  Well, I'm an adult, I know that sometimes it will be fine and sometimes it won't.  But he is trying to be comforting, and he does worry too just doesn't want me to know.  So your df is probably just as nervous as you are and not wanting to let you see it.

Hon, of course vibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gif are being sent. I can completely understand your worry. I went through 2 miscarriages last year and you never get over it or stop being worried. Is there anyway you can reschedule for a different time when you could get someone else? It really doesn't sound like she has a clue what she is doing.

 

Question (if it isn't too personal), is this test recommended or just an option? They recommended me getting the test for down's syndrome and other abnormalties because of my age (I was 40) but it was our decision. I had an appointment and miscarried before the appointment date so I don't know if they look for anything else that could be prevented. I can definitely understand wanting to know ahead of time if your baby has anything like that to prepare yourself, but if it's not going to change your decision to carry to full term (we wanted our baby, we just wanted to be prepared, you know?), would it hurt to put it off a few days or a week until your doctor is back to do it?

 

Anyway, I hope I didn't over-step my bounds. I'm SO happy for you!! Every doctor's appointment, I think, is going to be stressful for you and ask for vibes at any time!! vibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gif

Aw.  I think pregnancy in general is a nerve wracking thing sometimes!  Especially in the beginning!  *hugs*  I will pray for you; let us know how it goes!

 

Oh and catch me Thursday night and my nerves will probably be in high gear for Friday morning. wink.gif

Calico- it is optional but I still have to meet both midwives. So I am stuck putting up with her. My Dr knows I am adament despite policy to meet midwives he is delivering bean. I won't budge. Thankfully the scan will be performed by a tech not her. She just does.the check up. We are doing the scan because if something could be wrong we want to he prepared, it won't change us wanting bean. We want bean bad!!!!!

Df is being great atleast trying to reassure me. He can't come with but he told me to go get gummi hears and a decaf coffee from dd to alleviate my nerves. I even slept about half the night!!! Woo woo!!!!!

I will update after I update df. I am being a sissy pants cuz I want someone to hold my hand. Maybe I will ask the receptionist who I adore to pieces to come back and.hold my hand lol. Or Pam wanna call off work smile.gif lol I am such a girl sometimes!!!!


Mooch- do you have an appt on Friday?

Hi bean!! wavey.gif  Sooo cute!!  Girls are fun BTW.  I always feel like I'm playing dress up with DD.  Esp this time of year!  Do you have a potty-shot you can post?  I'd love to see what she saw to say girl.  I've seen DD's but that was at 18 weeks with her.

 

I have my big anatomy scan first thing Friday morning at the hospital (my doc doesn't do in-office scans) and then I have a regular appt a few hours later.  I've been feeling kicks constantly for about a week now; so it's helping me be less nervous. But I'm both excited and nervous to find out the gender!  I've got reasons to hope for both but it's just exciting too; which usually gets my stomach going.  I literally got sick before my scan with DD.  hehe

Mooch- woo woo for your anatomy scan already. It seems like yesterday you announced your pregnancy. I have two girls, 8 & 7 and the request was for a brother. Lol hopefully they aren't too disappointed. Lol plus we aren't frou frou lol but I do love me some pink and I think df will love having a princess. He is firmly stuck in his belief that his family doesn't make girls. This potentially is the first ajd only girl in his family. Lol

Libby- you literally took the words out of my mouth. The TCS kids have a ton of honorary aunts and uncles....well more aunts lol.

I can't wait for df to get home. He has only seen the pics via text. It was funny when they tried to do the doppler she kept kicking it and moving. But cooperated thru the ultrasound. Just some arm waving and wiggling, no flipping lol. But I am now firmly routed in not meeting with that midwife again. She rubbed me the wrong way. So my next appt is with my Dr and I will be letting him know I won't meet with the midwives. I'm having a c section anyways so its going to be a 'real' doctor doing my delivery.

LOL!  Tell DF "Never say Never!"  laughing02.gif

 

I'm not big on dressing up when it comes to myself; but DD gets all the frilly clothing.  wink.gif  It's impossible to avoid pink when you've got a girl.  I had a friend insist that she wouldn't do anything pink for her DD when she was pregnant with her.  Well now her DD is 8 and her favorite colors are pink and purple.  I kept trying to figure out how she was going to find enough clothing in the baby section while avoiding pink!

 

I'll be 20 weeks on Saturday; so I'm almost half way there!  That's exciting and scary at the same time.  I'm enjoying the kicking and actually looking pregnant instead of fat; but then I'm in no hurry for May to get here either!!

Lol I love pink but I am not a frills and bows fan. He is warming up to the idea of a girl. Lol I have faith in my friends nub theory. I'm not gonna run out and buy a.waredrobe lol but I feel ok buying sleepers and onesies and stuff.

I can't wait for you to find out what your having. So many babies. Who's next????? Lol

I am so over the moon woo woo happy right now.

The tech who did my NT scan wouldn't even peek at the gender!  I've not picked up anything for this baby yet.  But I have so much stuff already anyway.  Hopefully this weekend DH and I will go buy a "coming home" outfit for the baby.  We did that for DD after our anatomy scan but he has to work Friday since it's the last shipping day before Christmas.  Otherwise I'd have scheduled it a little later in the day and not at the butt crack of dawn.  And we'd have made a day of it.  I like for us to be the first ones to buy an outfit for baby; esp the coming home one since it's kind of sentimental. 

 

We could use a few other new babies around here.  Kenz hasn't been coming on much.

The tech was the same way. No guess. Lol my friend online guessed for me. I'm on a pregnancy forum and she is a member there.

I haven't gotten anything yet either. I want to slow shop so little bits of basics here and there. I'm not to worried about actual outfits till bean is older when I actually evolve from sleepers and.onesies lol.
