Right
Posted: 09-08-05 14:37pm

Right they said that early it looks like a girl but no 100% but now they say it is 100% a girl. Your right and when they told me that early I didnt really bank on it I said I will wait till I know for sure and that is when I am 8month and you would know but I found out early anyways. Its a girl.

First off if u'd have paid attention to what u yourself wrote before u'd notice that u said 12-13 weeks not 11-12. But hey whos counting.


Sweetie, ur doc is a quack then, and you saw the cord, genitals develop at 12-13 weeks. So, you can't see it. Doctors can only give you about 80% at 16 weeks. Most doctors wont even give a guess at 12 weeks.[/quote]


thanx for the warning, wasn't going to buy loads of boy stuff now anyway as i've plenty of time to get that later on.
And I repeat that I do believe my doctor, and I also believe my eyes, my hubbys, mother and sister in law who were with me during the scan.


'no medical knowledge, is that why im going to med term in about 3 hours?'

mmm pay attention again please, I said I believe u had no expert medical knowledge, it is very different from saying 'you do not have any expert medical knowledge'.

I also said that maybe most doctors are not available to see the sex of the baby so early because they may not be practically good enough (skill wise), as I clearly said that the doc managed to move my baby around, first we saw the traditional profile view of the baby, then with some short quite hard kindof squashing taps, managed to move the baby into position (which is not hard as its in a ball of water and just floats around very easily), and we saw the baby from various angles, including a view as if we are looking down on the baby, so we could see all four limbs etc, and a view from his feet upwards (dunno if u can imagine that how i've described it, its a bit difficult explaining exactly how we saw the baby in these positions).

As for dr spock etc, I don't always believe what others say or what I read, expecially on here (btw what is med term?.. Medical school?? I don't know). I believe my eyes!

Anyway there must be a big difference between the doctors over there and here, as i'm no way near the only person at least in this area that has been told so early what they are having (as my hubby said to me the day before my scan that a friend of his said that maybe we'd get to know the sex of the baby, as his doc told him and his wife at 12 weeks they would have a boy and indeed he was a boy).

Anyway i've got a feeling that whatever I say, u (seksihilly) won't believe me anyway, u keep believing what your docs and textbooks tell u, and i'll keep believing my eyes, and the real experiences of others!

yes, these drs today think it is all the test book stuff--not pointing finger at seksihilly--but they forget the first fact in science that "there are no set facts in science" and they forget the human factor. We know our body and they should pay much closer attention to that, instead they say "what you want to be a dr" no I just want you to listen to me, and believe I might know a little more about my body than you do--dr or not. That is just respect---

like my pregnancy for instance--they did one test I dint pass then nothing just sent me home with all the symptoms and no reason for them at all. Dint even listen to my stomach--they could have listened to my bowel sounds even and there is a way to tell if I am indeed pregnant--just from that. Let alone I am now 10.5 weeks and they can hear the heartbeat by now, since no uterus is in the way. I have felt his heart beat with my hand. And even though my u/s did show the ovary had released the ovum, and has not closed up--as in end of cycle. Since my cycle is not finished for at least 6 1/2 months. And I have great blood flow to that ovary--and quite a bit to the right also

Well exactly,

i've never heard about a woman carrying her baby in her abdomen before, but that doesn't mean I don't believe u, I have no reason to say your lying or that it is impossible to carry a baby outside the uterus, because I am no expert, what do I know bout if it is possible or not etc.
About my situation, my logic tells me that if the external genitals are clearly formed, then wheres the proof that says it is impossible to see them, if u can see the nose, fingers, toes etc, what makes it impossible to see a likkle winky :d hehe.
Doctors work in different ways, and with different ways of using their expert knowledge, am sure fatfamily has had doctors tell her that its useless trying to carry on her pregnancy and others that tell her that with her help they can only try and do their best to see if they can help the baby to arrive to full term or near enough!.

Anyway good luck to fatfamily!!

My link can be seen if you turn the "j" at the very end in jpeg to a lower case j... For some reason this site really messes up links!


As for finding out the sex, a friend of mine found out at 14 weeks, when she went in because of slight bleeding. The penis was very clearly formed. Her doctor said that the reason why most people can't tell the sex that early is because the baby isn't in the position to see the sex. Also, she had a more detailed sonogram, since she was bleeding and they were checking to see if something was wrong.

My other half let me know about a week ago that he doesn't want to know the sex (i thought we had agreed that we wanted to lol, but it turns out, he just didn't want to disappoint me). My mom doesn't want to know either! They said I could find out... But just not to tell them. How the hell am I going to do that?!?! We are still going to discuss it, because I do want ultrasound pics during the pregnancy, and I don't want to pass them up because I *might* see something.

Hehe poor pocket!!

How on earth are you going to keep the sex of your baby a secret??, u won't be able buy anything in pink or blue incase they see!.
If u decide not to find out, I don't think that that the fotos will show anything, I think anyway, all the fotos i've seen have been of the babys profile not in a position where u'd see anything, so I shouldn't worry. Plus if the doc knows u don't want to know, he/she will deliberatly take fotos of the babie in a hidden position anyway.

Your friends doc is right, and I think as the baby gets bigger its harder to move it around to a good position for seeing the sex, which is maybe why my doc managed to see he was a he.

Anyway hope u manage to convince your other half to find out the sex :d

xxxxx

you can see its head on the left, and a little hand on the bottom, its little stubby feet on the right, so cute!

Nothing can compare to hearing your baby's heartbeat for the first time, nothing! It was also moving and wiggling so much... I can't believe how active it is! It just amazes me!


Due date is april 6th :d

Ughh this stupid site!

Http://pocketangelssuga rgliders.Com/sugarsnapshots/albums/album01 /babysonogram.Jpg

that is the correct link, but on top of changing the "j" in "jpeg" to a lowercase "j", you have to change the beginning "b" in baby and the beginning "s" in sonogram to capitals.

Wow, alot to do to just see a pic of a little blob of baby! Hehe
