20 week scan piccy!!!

[rakrak]

hi everyone!




hope this piccy works as I've had my 20 week scan today.
Had to wait for over an hour as they were running behind but thankfully once we got seen it was amazing! The sonographer was absolutely fantastic and was really patient and explained everything - nothing was too much for her. We found out we were having a boy too!!!!!!

Have been very worried of recent as I have felt no movement or anything, but we saw a strong heartbeat and she went through every feature from his head to his button nose to his toes.
Saying that he wouldn't keep still so have now got a very sore tummy as she had to keep pressing to try and get her checks and measurements done. I've got to go back for another scan in 3 weeks to get clearer images of the heart chambers as the way he kept moving she couldn't get precise clear images and she said it would be better to be safe than sorry.

One reason she said I might not have felt any movements is that I've got something (can't remember the exact terminology) like a double placenta (?) - it's on the front wall and at the back. Again it's nothing to worry about, will just dampen any initial early feeling from baby as it's so padded and also when I actually give birth they need to make sure both pieces have come out!

Anyway thanks for listening ladies, am finally glad to have seen my little chap xxx

It's a shame really as I was looking forward to feeling him move around early on but at least he's healthy!
There seems to be an awful lot of people expecting boys - especially aroung the August time...xx

I only found out that i had an anterior placenta because it was on my paper work i got given, the sonographer told me all was fine but she never mentioned i had that?? Although on my 20 week scan the sonographer wasnt as nice as the women we had at 12 week scan xx

Gorgeous scan pic! Congratulations!!

[becks20]

Congratualtions on another boy for august! Lol. Great pic x

 

[rakrak]

I can't believe there are so many boys being born! The girls of the future will have a field day!
Yeah I get to see him again as I've got that other scan on the 29th - might even be cheeky and ask if I can have another piccy...xx By the way has anyone had to pay for their scan pictures? At my hospital they are supposed to be charged at £2 each but no-one has ever asked me for money. I had four pictures with the first scan and the lady sonographer just handed me three with this scan as I forgot to ask xx
