This is MY opinion, not debate, and I don't need reasons or justifications to feel differently. That disclaimer should keep the dander down and feathers smooth. 😉 I feel like the only woman in the world who does NOT want 10 thousand elective ultrasounds. I love seeing Ajani, but I don't like unnecessary medical intervention. Period. Hubby got a doppler, I returned it and bought monitors. 😂 It's just, I KNOW baby boy doesn't like them. He is like mommy already--leave me be! I trust my body will do what it's supposed to.

I feel like I agree with you on everything lol o.O

I can agree! I mean I have paid for an elective ultrasound with both babies, and two for my first, and I did get a fetal doppler with my second. 🙊🙊🙊🙊 but, I agree. it's weird when some women complain they've only gotten so many ultrasounds and turns out they've had like 8 already. I mean I only had 3 by my regular doctor, plus the 2 I paid for. And then I've only had 1 by my doctor so far this pregnancy, and 2 by a specialist, and then I paid for the gender one, and then I had the fetal doppler, but the doppler was only because we had a loss before this one, and I was paranoid. But I totally get what you're saying!

@littlemissrainesmommy, we're pretty awesome! 😉 @their.bomb.ass.mom I feel like I've had too many lol I just wanna make it to 39 weeks (we won't likely get 40 but that'd be great) & not be poked and prodded along the way. With my stillborn son I had every intervention under the sun--no less than 28 ultrasounds, every genetic test offered, and weekly appointments from 4 weeks. Never found an abnormality, but my baby still wasn't destined for this world. 💔 So now I just want to go thru as undisturbed as possible.

I'm right there with ya. I understand some people wanting it if they have h dims carriages or at a higher risk, but personally I'm happy I got to see my baby a couple times and that's all I could ask for. I'm not big on medical intervention either. I wish it was legal for me to have a home birth where I live, but I can't 😞. Hope you are having and continue to have a happy healthy pregnancy!

Aw, that's awful. I'm sorry for your loss. I didn't have a stillborn, just a miscarriage, but I couldn't imagine how awful that was. But I get it, I actually hate more when they check me, and I really liked my first doctor who saw no need for it, I'm hoping this doctor isn't trying to check me all the time for dilation when it comes to that. I did make it to 40 weeks with my first, but I have a serious feeling I won't this time, and the only reason why I want one more ultrasound is because she was breech the last one, and I wanna make sure she flipped, other than that I don't care if I have another ultrasound, it doesn't matter to me what she looks like, because I know how different she will look when she comes out. I don't even really see the need in the weekly appointments, I hated going to those, I'm fine going every 4 weeks still. 😂 I just wanna relax at this point.

@cmbwalker, I am more relaxed this time around. Uncomfortable as ever at the moment but overall VERY happy. 😄

@tayek, good to hear! I'm doing pretty good so far, but getting bigger and more uncomfortable every week. Also getting more and more excited lol

@their.bomb.ass.mom, YES! And miscarriage doesn't hurt less than stillbirth, trust me. I've unfortunately experienced both. Cried equally, devastation was the same. I think the happiness with Ajani is different tho--I'm so much more peaceful. I just don't like the cervix checks. Those hurt lol I just wanna sit on my yoga ball and drink my juice!

Yessss, & I have yet to bring out my yoga ball, but you have reminded me to do so and I will be this weekend, I loooovvvveeddd sitting on that thing with my first, helped my back sooooo much! 😂😂
