Last night while looking at my little calendar card thingy I realized that I think I have been miscounting my weeks. I think I am in the middle of my eight week. (not seventh!) Which of course, is not that big of change...but its exciting! I have more chapters in my prego books I can be reading already! The part about it that bothers me is that when I originally called the doctor they said that they didn't need to see me till 8 or 9 weeks. Well my first appointment isn't till the 23rd and that one is just family history and just with a nurse. And the first "doctor" appointment I have isn't even till the 30th. Well I am going to be one day short of 12 weeks by then! I need to call the doctor's office back today about my thyroid questions anyway so I think I going to question whether I should be coming in sooner??
On another note, I just got a call from one of my old girlfriends that was asking how I am doing and she mentioned something that we could find out the sex of the baby WAY earlier than I ever expected? I mean I was guessing we wouldn't know that till like half way through the pregnancy...and she thought it was something like 12 weeks or something? That can't be right, is it? Anyone remember?
You are so cute! I've heard that they can sometimes see at 12 or 16 weeks but have also heard that they won't tell you that early. They just can't be sure cause he/she is still so tiny!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of one of these kits until I read this blog entry but it may be worth a shot?

If I were you I would wait on your doctor's appointment because if you go too soon - even at like 10 or 11 weeks, they will sometimes have to do a vaginal ultrasound versus the normal one on the belly. I had a normal one at 10 weeks, but I know Steph had to have a vaginal one at 10 weeks and we have the same doctor. I'm not sure what determines tummy versus vaginal, but it's just a thought! I'd hate to have a vaginal one - SCARY! Haha! Not to mention I'm sure Robby would be scarred for life after seeing that thing go in there...haha!
ReplyDeleteThey usually tell you the sex at 15 weeks if they can see the right parts :)
ReplyDeleteThey do a vaginal ultrasound if they cant get a good image and if they are not able to see the heart &/or hear the heart rate as well as they would like.
