16 Weeks Pregnant And Question Posted: 07-08-05 14:31pm
Hi I am 19 years old and I am almost 16
weeks pregnant. I go on july 19th for my
first sonogram, what are the chances of
them knowing what sex my baby is?? I am
so excited I want to know so bad, but I
dont know if you can tell at 17 weeks.
I'm also kind of nervous about my first
sono, the doctor didn't want to give me
one until she could see the chambers of
the heart and test for down sydrome all at
the same time. What am I to expect. My
fianace believe that we are having a boy
and he will only look at pick out boy
names, I don't want him to be disapointed
if we find out we are having a girl,
because his dream is to have him grow up
and play baseball and catch with eachtoher
in the backyard. Well I will quit
rambling... Also I am due on christmas
day of 05, but I guess I will know for
sure when im due on the 19th.

They'll probably be able to tell you what
you are having- depending on what way the
baby decides to lie on the day (sometimes
they won't co-operate at all)
it's funny- I didn't much care what I was
having the first time around- but when
they told us it was a girl, we both just
teared up straight away, and decided that
we must've wanted a girl the whole time.
I'm sure if they'd said "boy" we would've
felt exactly the same.
Don't worry about your husband being
dissapointed with a girl- she'll be his
little princess, and i'm sure she'll love
playing catch in the backyard with her
daddy.
We were quietly hoping for another girl
this time though- 'cos I think a girl
needs a sister, and my husband is always
keen for girls he has 3 brothers so he's
over boys. We found out we were indeed
having another girl at my 20 week scan-
and even though we were both delighted
with the news, we both admitted to feeling
a little pang of loss for the boy that it
could have been - just for a moment
!!!!!!!
You'll be delighted whatever they tell
you.
