Vent session

[Jestaa]

My Dr. does ultrasounds late during pregnancy only (during glucose tests or high-risk). Today marks 25+6 for me and I had my glucose test this morning. I get to the office and it's running off a generator because the breakers were down...so I have to wait another 3 days to know the gender of the baby. The anticipation has stressing a little. I am down to 100 days and still not a clue what I am having. Sorry for the long vent, just was almost in tears because I was sooo looking forward to the ultrasound.

I know how you feel, when i went to find out the gender of my baby he was being extremely difficult, he wouldn't open his legs far enough for us to see after an hour and a half he finally decided to show the world lol we almost gave up but always keep in mind even if there is power your baby maybe difficult i suggest drinking something cold really cold before going in this way the baby will be active and you won't have to worry about not finding out

Well hope u found out what ur having! I did and it's another boy! I was so upset but I got over it as long as he's healthy that's all that  matters :)

I understand what u mean but now we have the technology so yes we get antsy I'm not stressing either but I would like to know what I'm having as well it doesn't mean we're not enjoying out pregnancies any less

I'm not stressing about not knowing. I know it's a blessing and a newer thing. Just got excited and let down a little. I think the family is stressing the most, they are very excited to know what colors to get.

This may not help you much,  but humans have been around for thousands and thousands of years and it's only in like,  the last 50 years that mothers could know before the birth what gender they were going to have.  It was like Christmas - you didn't know what the little package was under the tree until when you opened it.

Not knowing the gender of your baby isn't worth stressing over and making you unhappy.  Some parents choose not to know.

Similar story JDove. I had my 1.5 year old at Sweedish Covenant in Chicago. I am delivering at the same hospital but with a different doctor. I too had many ultrasounds with my son, but this time around we are on BCBS and they only cover a couple. Thank you for the story, and Good Luck to you as well :-)
