And he was so full of doom and gloom! It was so depressing. He was going on about all the negative stuff that can happen: twin to twin transfusion, premature labour, late m/c, gest diabetes blah blah blah. I know it's his job, but I am enough of a nutter to start with, I don't need to know about all the things that COULD go wrong!
On the plus side, he has a portable scanner so I got to see the gremlins, and am having a scan on Wed to check growth and he said they *might* be able to tell the gender. At 14 1/2 weeks? Unlikely me thinks, but however, I'll ask anyway... Then I have another scan at 17 weeks, and then my 4d anatomy scan at 19 weeks. My poor babies are going to be so exposed! No privacy in utero for them! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Those powers that be are good like that! Giving you lots of negative stuff! I am sure none of it you will really need to be bothered with! Just keep it at the back of your mind and leave it there!
I have read that they can tell the sex very early these days! How exciting! -------------

Well, at least he's covered his ass and told you every possible worst case senario! Some doctors seem gifted at making you feel like going "My baby/ies will be fine!  " and walking out!
Very cool that you got to see the gremlins, though! And I'm with Jess - so jealous you get so many scans! My first (and probably only) isn't until May 26th! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

yep around 14 weeks you can get an ok idea of what sex the babies might be - sounds early but usually you can get the idea. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja
