I’m going to be 20 weeks tomorrow inshallah and my scan is tomorrow as well iA. We have more growth scans here in the US plus I get more for cervical measurements.
Maybe I should tell my mom and sister to go out shopping on Black Friday to get good deals. It must be overwhelming to do all of it by yourself queen. I was making a registry and trying to think what to put on it. My friends are insisting on throwing me a baby shower iA.
Random but I want coke again.

Aw thats lovely. I hope everything turns out to be good at your end and you find a perfect healthy baby in the scan

A tip, because I have been to my scan recently, if your baby isn’t in the right position to have his gender revealed, don’t completely rely on the Sonographer, suggest her to re-scan it either after you take a walk or you stand up, move a little and then lay down to recheck.

My Sonographer did the worst to me. She kept on looking for other things (I know that those are really important), & when I asked for the gender, she asked me to wait. I would have not asked her twice if I had not noticed the baby’s right position, I just didn’t want the baby to change the position so I had to ask her twice and both times she said, wait. Not only that, she was at the very back on a seat and actually a new trainee was scanning me. I was like an experiment to them

Later on when she said, ok now lets see the gender and Oh! the baby has changed the position, I could do nothing and stupid of me that I said ok, and came out from the room. When reading online, a lot of to-be-moms wrote their stories and shared how they gave the suggestions. After reading that, I regretted, at least I could have made ONE effort to convince her. I didn’t say anything

I eagerly wanted to know the gender (because my hubby wanted to know), and God knows how long had I been waiting for this day to know my baby gender. I just thought, I wish I had read the stories before going to the ultrasound so that I could take any step.

If YOU are really interested to know the gender, don’t be chipko but at least for once, you can demand for it. I don’t know if you will have other scans after that or not, but I was more sad because I knew, it was my last scan!!!

My hubby has given me the option for private scans but I don’t want to spend a lot on that. As, the minimum cost I came across is no less than £75!!!

p.s., I have also come across that a few sips of coke (or any fizzy drink) before ultrasound makes the baby keep moving
