My Doc Appt On the 18th
Posted: 08-05-04 09:29am

Okay I have another doc appt on the 18th. And on that day i'll be 15.1 weeks, 4 months. So do ya'll think if I tell her to give me an ultrasound and the baby is cooperating that she'll be able to see if I am having a boy or a girl. I would really like to finally be able to give my baby a name instead of saying baby, he/she, or him/her.And jordan if you are here pm me, I have something to ask you.

I was told they look, and if they don't see boy parts, then its a girl, cause boy parts would stick out obviously at this point. So if they can look and say thats not a boy, the its a girl. Haha cause girl parts arnt fully developed yet. I also heard they could give you a guess at 15 weeks if they spread their legs, but I wouldn't relly on that untill a later date. Even know with one guessed girl, and one more confermed girl, I am wondering if she will turn out to be a he. I guess time will tell! Smile since I never got a single "that is a girl!!" I just got.. Looks like a girl, .B.U.T!!! Gerr haha

Well my u/s tech showed us three distinct lines that were the u-know-what. I have definitely heard of guessing "girl" for lack of parts, but what I saw wasn't a lack of parts, there were definite parts!

Oh but i'm 19 weeks not 15...

Do ya'll think it is okay if I go to someone other than my doc to get an ultrasound. My doc doesn't work in a hospital, she works in a private office, and like when they call your name and bizz you in on the side there is the bathroom them the ultrasound room. So I won't ever have one done by an ultrasound tech (unless she is one too), but just in her office. So I want to go to a hospital to have one done to see if there is a difference. Do ya'll think it's okay, and how would I go about doing it?

I don't know if you can or not... Some places require a doctors referral, and if you are getting ins to pay for it, they definitely will. You could go to one of those places that doesn't do it for medical purposes, like in the mall. Where they just make pictures and videos, but of course, you'd have to pay yourself.

I heard the ones they do at the malls can cause problems for the babys. Its highly not recamended. Not sure what it can or would do to them, but I ws told not to do it at malls.
