They'll basically just take youre vitals
(like everytime.)
then the .Dr, or technician, will come in
and drape your legs and start looking at
your angel!! They normally start with the
measurmnets. Then they start having fun
and taking lots of pictures. (this is at
least what my .Dr did!!) ask him/her if
you can have acouple of copies to give to
your parents and boyfriends parents.
They'll prob. Be glad too!!
Good .Luck!!
P.S...Do you want to know the sex or is it
going to be a surprise??

instead of just telling you??

No u didnt type in spanish but wat is like
vitals and all all? I didnt think they
looked in between ur legs? Thot it was
just putting gel on the stomach and then
they get to see the baby.
My doctor told me they dont tell u the
results of the babys gender until 20
weeks. And im going at 18 weeks. So I
dno, thats what he told me. I thot that
was kinda odd tho.

Laura, how old are you?
Vitals is your heart rate and blood
pressure. Don't you get those every time
you go to the doctor? You get weighed and
he measures your belly, right?
At your ultrasound, you'll mostly lay on
the table while they put the wand on your
stomach (and this is where you'll wish so
bad that you could just go pee!!). You'll
get to see your baby. It's perfectly
normal to cry. At 18 weeks there is a
good chance you could find out the gender.
And you'll go home with some pictures.

At the ultrasound they will look at your
little skoot thru the abdomin...Sometimes
they will do a vag probe. I dont' like
those, they dont' hurt just kinda
uncomfortable. They normally do those
during the first few months.
In your case they will use the little
thingy..Not sure what it's called...And
measure the head, heart, arms and legs.
They will look closely at the spine and
heart rate. Just kinda make sure that
the baby is developing correctly.
They told me at 18 weeks what my baby was.
So maybe you will know at your visit.
But it's really fun to get your first look
at your little skoot. I love to have
them done. Have fun and let us know how
it turns out...Bring a vhs tape so that if
they can tape it if they have the
capability.

My .Drs office makes me pee as soon as I
go to the back. They do a couple of tests
on it before I go into the room.
Laura, what would you prefer a boy or a
girl?

At 18 weeks I don't think that they will
be looking at the baby thru your vagaina,
they will do an abdomin scan, so I don't
think you will have to be worried about
being half naked in front of anyone.
They normally just have you unbutton your
pants and they tuck a clothe into your
pants to keep the jell off of them.

I think there is one around 32 weeks
unless you are having complications or
they find something wrong with this u/s.
It also depends on how many your insurance
will allow. Some only allow 1 or 2 if
the pregnancy is going properly. They
will let you know at your visit.

I dunno. I know that I had one at around
20-22 weeks. My next one is in mid april
which is week 34 for me. So sometime in
the home stretch, maybe? Last month to
month and a half?

They are so fun, believe me, my skoot was
just flipping and spinning around that the
tech couldn't get a doppler reading of her
heart. It was too funny. She did
finally get it. But hopefully you should
get the sex of the baby. That is the
most fun part of it all.
They will measure the heart, head, arms
and legs, they will take a heart doppler,
and look at the spine and just make sure
the baby is developing correctly. Then
they should take some pictures and stuff
like that. So that you can have some.
I love the pictures. But the tech told
me right away what I was having. And I
was only 18 weeks along.
