Funny Medical Story

So I realized today that my doctor and hospital now have an online system where you can make appts and view test results - cool!  I was looking through my old test results, and I had a ton from my pregnancy, including all my NSTs and U/Ss and stuff.  

Anyway, they I got to my last U/S when I was 33w pregnant and I'm reading it and it says 'Number of Fetuses: 1 F".  and I'm all like "yea, one girl...." and then I realize...I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A GIRL.  So, now I know, I cannot read these when I'm pregnant this time unless we want to find out the sex.  WTF?!  How pissed would I have been?!  :)

Re: Funny Medical Story

  • Good thing you know now. Is it possible for them not to enter the sex? I know my practice just takes a quick look but does not write it down at all so no one can slip. 

    Oh I would have been pissed. But also I may have played the ignorant card and thought F stood for Fetus

    Agreed! I wonder if you said don't write the sex on my report if they would anyway ... Is it necessary that they know the sex of the baby pre-birth? I mean for medical reasons, my OB didn't do my anatomy scan and even though I knew the sex of my baby I don't think I ever heard her once say boy/him/he until after he was born.

  • No, not an option as I understand it.  The U/Ss aren't done in my O/Bs office, they're all done in the Hospital and read by the MFMs.  So, they warned me that they do look and do note it but won't tell you if you don't want.  So, I knew my OB would know (she told me and told me if I ever decided I wanted to know, she could look it up).

    Sometimes, yes.  I know at least two people that had strange values come back at either NT scan or 20 week u/s and they wanted to be Team Green but they ended up finding out the sex b/c the values were in the OK range for one sex and not the other.  I don't remember specifics but I know both were having boys and were OK since it was a boy.
