So I had my dating scan on the 8th. Well the technician couldn't tell me anything at all.... I couldn't even hear the heart beat. She showed me the sound waves but that was it. I got a few pictures but only got to watch the screen for a couple of seconds before she turned it back around. She didnt tell me the heartrate, what I was measuring at or anything.... did anyone else deal with this??? For my daughters first ultrasound didnt go anything like this...
Here ultrasound technicians aren’t legally allowed to tell you anything, the ultrasound must be reviewed by a radiologist and the results forwarded to your doctor.
Ahhh... I guess that's how it must be here as well!
@mommy_broadway, Ultrasound technicians have training in taking the photos a radiologist is a doctor licensed in reading scans xrays etc. It’s a liability, and in most places now to be on the safe side they don’t allow techs to tell you anything. The hospital I work at there’s huge signs telling you ULTRASOUND TECHNICIAN CANNOT RELEASE MEDICAL AND DIAGNOSITC INFO.
That being said my doctor does my scans and so he tells me what he’s seeing at the time! It’s likely nothing to worry about you just need the results from your doctor ❤️
I asked, but she couldn't tell me anything? Maybe some new policy at my drs office?
It depends. My doctor does the scans himself so he was able to say things. Depending on policy most ultrasound techs can’t give out too much information.
@mommy_broadway wait for what tho? What was the point of the ultrasound then?? That's weird?
@jleona I'm assuming I'll have to wait for my next drs appt for the results maybe?
When mine are quiet I start asking Questions. I hate when they don’t communicate bc we automatically start over thinking.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
That’s so weird. I live in New York and the techs do everything they take the pictures but also my tech always told and showed me the heartbeat and she also told us what we were having . But my friend lives in Texas and she had the same problem where the tech wouldn’t say anything and she had to wait until her apt with her Dr to discuss
