Heyy guys as you know ( mainly because ive been going onnn and onn and onn 
about it ) i had my 20 week scan today and YAY everythings fine, but it was a really horrible experience and i came out all upset and not just because we could find out the sex ( il come to that ) but the lady was sooo horrible !!
Firstly we got there early, as last time we had a bit of a cuffuffle about my letter saying 10, and her machine saying 2, so i called to check in the morning, got there 11.30, went in aboutttt 11.40 and was out before 12 !! Honestly my first scan was longer, n im sure this ones meant to be a big one for checking everythings ok,
Next she made me lay down and turned the monitor away so that only she ( and OH if he lent around my feet) could see it, so far all shed said was, do you want to sit down, and move up a bit, i was really excited so possibly annoying her with how much i was talking asking if she could poss get us a pic of little hands or feet,whether she could try n find out the sex blah blah blah, ( she said no im afraid not their too arkward, and promtly took a £4 photo of LO's shin, bum and half a foot ), but yeah back to my point i kept saying can you turn that round, can i see like a little kid n she was just saying il show you everything at the end,
AND THEN she said you might have to go for a walk, or if i just and started prodding, and smooshing, did this for a whole, i told her it was starting to feel a bit sore and sicky so she stopped and so right well thats no good, theyd curled up into a ball OH said and were waving their little fists ( you tell her little one !!!! ) so i said well can i see now PLEASE ?!!? n she turned it round so i could see, said this is the head, this is the heart, these are the legs, n then i said can you tell the sex at all, wheres there legs ?!?!? So she said no, theyve moved so theyve got their legs crossed now, and then said oh wait i could probably get that now ( get whatttt ??? i said but..... nothing) and then she said thats it then, il just fill in your charts and send them out I didnt even get to see their arms, luckily i checked my charts and shes checked, all arms legs present even if not seen I must have seen the baby for about 5 minutes if that.
I know im probably being a brat and lots of people dont get scans at all, or at this time but im feeling a bit sore on me tum now n LO's really wriggly, and everyone keeps asking me boy or girl, and im all disappointed because we were going to go baby shopping after but then we couldnt and we didnt know what to do with ourselves all day !!
And to top it off, we had to pay £15 for pictures, for 5 pictures we had no say on, she just clicked away as she went i think, because i didnt see her take em, and tbh my 12 week ones are clearer, but because she'd printed them off we had to pay for them, we said a few so i guess thats our fault as much as anyones but none of the pics are of the whole baby, n there all fuzzy and you cant really tell whats what.
On the bright side i did get one good one ( LO said oo can you take one of them now quick if you cant turn it round (bless him )) Where there all curled up with their knee in their face and their head on their chest
And everythings OK with LO ( even though how quickly she did the scan makes me a bit worried about this, could she have gotten everything she needed in 10-15 minutes, what if she missed something ? ) so im just glad babys healthy and happy and standing its own 
Ps i meant to write this sooner but iv been avoiding having to read riotgurls post lol i KNEW you'd be able to find out the sex ya jammy sod !!
