My Scan Result!!

[Pregnopaws]

Ok its was not a great start as most of the water I had drunk an hour before I left home I threw up in the car park! The cold water swilling about my stomach and the journey just did it for me! But anyways.. the scan result was good, we saw the heartbeat going strong, and saw the spine, but baby appeared to be asleep and was facing down not up! The sonographer was a bit of a cow as she had a go at me for not having a full bladder and I told her I DID drink loads, (didnt tell her I heaved most of it up though lol!!)

Also ive been put back a week so instead of 13+3 I am now 12+3 and due Feb 4th. She said they definately dont tell the gender so i shouldnt bother asking in 20 week scan!

So heres the scan pic anyway..

yay
i remember throwing up as soon as i got out of the scan room. i was bursting with water and didnt have time to go to the loo but threw it up every where

glad everything was well! x

Glad everything is good with baby

Some of the medical staff can be really insensitive and snappy can't they.

I thought it was your decision to find out the gender at 20 week scan, didn't realise that they wouldn't tell you, did you want to know?

 

[Pregnopaws]

ooh scan pics not showing for me! grr lol.. Thanks guys, yeah we had decided to find out the gender so we could just go ahead and get pink or blue..

I didnt let the sonographers comments spoil it for me, she was definitely in a fluster and I was most annoyed when she looked at me like I was stupid when i asked her if baby's heartbeat was ok and she said "Can't you see the hearbeat there??" Well, sorry but Im not particularly brill with making out these images and lying down its hard to see the screen.. Hubby said she wasnt mean, just doing her job, but we know better dont we??!!

thats funny

I bumped into the midwife on the way out and asked about the gender thing (she was much nicer) and she told me that they stopped telling parents because some of the parents reactions were dreadful when they found out. Usually because they have their heart set on one sex or the other, the mother sometimes bursts into tears or they both start fighting about it in the room!!

what can they fight about? its no ones fault
maybe because of religions aswell.
my dad was telling me about this asian woman who found out what it was a girl, but wasnt able to have a termination so she got one done illegally when she was 7 months
the reason was, her husband wanted a boy

7 MONTHS??? sorry but thats just murder.. Mind you im not being racist or anything but when you read the stories about honour killings and that it makes you wonder how valuable or in-valuable life is to some people??

[Kimbo]

fighting about the sex! god, they should be lucky they were blessed to have a baby

Lovely scan pic! Glad it went well.

(The gender thing matters in cultures which still have dowries and where inheritance passes only to boys. We used to have similar attitudes here and not so long ago either (women have only been able to inherit property etc for just over a century or so). Avoiding that problem is probably sensible (although they presumably can't prevent them having private scans and aborting on the basis of that information). )

 

[Pregnopaws]

I kind of agree with Allie, why should the hospital feel responsible for imparting news that may/may not cause problems or harm to the child? But on the other hand it does spoil it for genuine couples who have no real preference but would simply just like to know beforehand. I really would like to be able to decorate my nursery in appropriate colours and I don't mind which..

Kimbo, I also googled and didn't find anything on the woman who chose to abort at seven months, but this article below is about a forced abortion at seven months and is particularly sad. (Pls don't read if that sort of thing upsets you easily!)

[DebbieM]

As far as I am aware, it was more so because of certain religions that they no longer tell you the gender. There was, according to what I have heard, too many baby girls being aborted as certain religions prefer boys to carry on the family name.

omg

2004... its disgusting
