I have the exact same ad but I think it’s because I have such bad anxiety and keep googling stuff like this
I compared my first gender scan (boy) to my current pregnancy gender scan (girl) and honestly there’s no doubting itDefo girl, if it was a boy you'd know about it no doubts
Do they warn you before they look at the genitals? I don't want to accidentally find out that way.
We had a private gender scan and I had told them I wanted it in an envelope for later and they just got me to look away a ton. I never once saw.
At my 20 week nhs scan I didn’t notice them looking at all
I assume they did since it’s a full check to make sure baby looks all good and healthy but I know baby is a boy from the gender scan and nipt blood test and I didn’t notice anything.You can always let the sonographer know before a scan that you don’t want to know the gender, I’m sure they’d tell you to look away at the right times
my sonographer (NHS) asked before starting the scan if we wanted to know and also asked again before doing that part of the scan to make sure!
He was great let us take pics and videos and got her moving around doing a little photoshoot for us, really grateful for that as it saved us money on a private scan
Ooh I’d have been so mad! Rude how you’re expected to make commitments around the time you’ve had a huge life change and will be recovering physically and mentally too
they turned the screen off when I had a private scan and the NHS 20w scan tne sonographer asked if we knew and said she could turn the screen off if we wanted to keep it a surprise. Worth asking/ letting them know
Ok 36+4
Does anyone else get this intense pulse / heartbeat feeling in their stomach, kind of lower left. I’ve tried googling and it basically says something to do with increased blood flow but I find it SO uncomfortable I hate it. Lasts like 5-10 mins. I originally thought it was baby hiccups but I don’t think so anymore

Yes. At our 20 week scan and our extra growth scan they asked us if we knew/wanted to know. After we said we didn't want to know they made sure to tell us to look away before they scanned those parts. You may have to look away right at the start though because I know someone who found out she was having a boy as soon as the scan started because he was in a weird position that made everything very clear
People are weird. One family member “didn’t like” names like George or Harry that we shortlisted but wouldn’t quit with names like Ocean, Phoenix or anything spelled stupidly or made up like Tyiger or Grayclynn - not remotely our taste.Told my mum one of our baby names today after she’s begged for months and recommended loads of obscure, rare and old fashioned horrible names. She’s been saying for ages how ‘she wants to get the baby’s name right’ and she’s ’been researching’.. without us asking her or wanting her to mind you. Straight away she was rude and dismissive of it (we said a nice normal fairly common name everyone in here will have heard of that suits a baby at all life stages). Back to not telling a soul it is
Another referred to baby by a nickname so much (think Trigger or Barbie) we had to explain to oldest and the people they got confused and told that it wasn’t the actual name.
I’m also in the camp where I am struggling with people saying they can’t wait to meet baby. The same people who haven’t bothered with me my entire pregnancy, or have been a complete let down when important things have happened in my life.
I used to hate it when I was struggling to conceive & people would say you feel differently about things when you have kids but I can hand on heart say I do already. I’m just not giving people the time of day anymore. Baby is the priority & she just won’t know those people. This includes family members, but I refuse to let my child be a photo opportunity and then forgotten about.

On my way down the hospital for my C section now, wish me luck ladies! Scared isn’t the word lol I hope everything goes well!
Good luck!! Sending you lots of love
My son did this to us - literally bum against my tummy, legs apart! The first shot we got on his 20 week scan was of his bits. Luckily we wanted to know. He’s 17 months now and equally pleased to show them off. We’d like a surprise this time though so I’ll make sure to tell them.Yes.

12 week scan today and I’m so nervous! I also had a dream it was twins - we’ve had early scans though so fairly confident it’s not.
I do wonder how many times a twin is missed at an early scan.
Wow the waiting around doesn’t help the nerves does it so far tho everyone has been lovely!
