just an off day

I think my hormones are crazy today. I went for my 18 week detailed ultrasound today. All morning I was so nervous and excited. So when I got in the room and was getting ready the tech was saying how I was in there to early and I should wait two more weeks....and she doubted that she would get her measurementd etc....so I was feeling disappointed and confused because my doctor wanted me to go in at 18 weeks...which I am. So she is doing her thing and I am trying to watch on the screen but the tv was tilted in a way that it was blurry since it was a flat screen monitor. So in the end she rebooked me to come back in two weeks and the scan would be better
But....she did tell me that from what she saw everything appeared to be normal and it looks like I have a baby girl. I cried with happiness with thst news.....but when I got home and put the cd in my computer to look at the pictures....they were awful! I can't tell there is even a baby in the pics...so felt so sad at that. Plus my husband has been out of town working for the past 6 weeks and he has missed out on both ultrasounds so far and all my family lives in Ontario and I am in Alberta so I have been alone through all this. I think the crappy pics was the last straw. I cried my eyes out for an hour. I am chalking it up to hormones and feeling a bit lonesome. Sorry this is so long.....but needed to get that out. Thanks for listening.

Thanks girls!! It feels good to vent, that's for sure and here I know I will find people who are going through the same things and understanding!! Thanks for listening. I just hope the next ultrasound goes a lot better. About the pics...ya, she did the same thing to me..she gave me pics of something but to me it just look like nothing LOL I can't even see anything that looks remotely like a baby!! Why would they do that!! Ughhhhhhhhh

Sometimes ultrasound techs can be such *******. I had my anatomy u/s on tuesday and it went great. I'm a thicker girl and I didn't feel like he put a lot of pressure on my belly. Although why does it seem that they never give good pictures? Baby was clearly sucking his thumb and the tech didn't give me a picture of that but of things I couldn't even distinguish. Also I was called back thursday for a level 2 ultrasound and that tech pushed really hard on my belly and said rude comments and how if they had told me gender on u/s tuesday I said yes and she's like great so I don;t have to. Really? was that a nessecary comment. I'm sorry you have to go back in 2 weeks but 18-20 weeks is what I've heard it's best. Maybe she/ he ***** at doing their job and aren't even sure of what they are seeing. I don't know I'm just venting as well.

Look me up if you ever want to chat. I mean it. I've been very bummed out could use an ear also once in awhile going thru same. Things.   Keep ur chin up good luck. It will get better. Also sounds like the tech had a bad day to be that negative to u image sorry u had that bad experience. When lonely talk to ur baby also. It's fun when they react to differen. Things were say and do.....
