08-2-2012 - NT scan results

My mood while writing this blog: Relieved

First off..what the heck is with this site??I deleted a few old pics the other day and it erased my whole profile! I can't even re-add the info. Luckily it spared my blogs, but this is nuts!!

So yesterday was my NT scan. First time I ever had one. Of course I was losing my grip when the u/s first started because the baby was completely still and motionless. Instant flashbacks of last April ran through my mind. I just kept telling myself this couldnt happen again. She was able to get baby to move finally, actually I think she pissed the baby off because when she pushed on my belly, the baby would swing violently like it wanted to make contact with her head,lol.

The measurement was 1.5. Anything over 3.5 is cause for concern, so no worries there. Plus I asked if she could see a nasal bone just for peace of mind,lol. Yep, baby came equipped with one of those too,lol. Baby is also measuring 4 days bigger than due date but otherwise looks healthy and fine♥ Now I am just waiting on my blood results.

So then after what seemed like forever of her looking at and for what I have no clue, she asks if we were going to find out the gender. I asked if she could even tell this early? She said yes. Now....I have always been leary of any gender guesses before 16 weeks. I was 11w5d yesterday. Seems entirely too early to even see gender accurately. She said she saw a protrusion sticking out, and she was guessing a BOY. I asked her the heart rate and she said 171. So I told her that is of a girl:-) She shrugged her shoulders and said "psssht, that means nothing."

I have 5 girls though, and they ALL had heart rates over 150, always. I even guessed my friends and cousin's baby girls accurately. I am taking her carnival guess with a grain of salt for now and see what we have at my 20 week scan,lol. Andy however is over the moon, so I took great pleasure in shooting him down, reminding him she is wrong, its too early, inaccurate and she is a SHE♥

I asked a question earlier today on this site about it. I am curious to know if anyone else found out gender at the NT scan and if it was correct? Because according to this very informative site, it exactly why I have my doubts about gender before 16 weeks,lol...http://baby2see.com/gender/external_genitals.html.
