I have my 20 week scan coming up and wondering do they tell you on the day if there are any problems or do you have to wait for results?

Yeah most of the time they do or they will ask you to come back 2 weeks later for a further scan just to recheck a few things. I only know this because our first one was born with a cleft lip and palate and that's what happened to us. This time round everything was ok. Good luck for your scan x

If you are seeing a doctor/midwife that day, they would tell you, but the ultrasound tech legally isn't allowed to disclose that information. I had mine yesterday. It was so nice!! Confirmed it's a boy! Haha I got to watch the whole thing. I have to go back next week for more images, but only because baby was being stubborn and wouldn't move to show his face or right hand for measurements. So no need to stress necessarily if you have to go back

Thank you ladies and delighted to hear everything is ok for you how long did it take?

I had mine today, the sonographer confirmed everything looked normal and in proportion there and then, she was really thorough and detailed. Much better than other scans I’ve had! X

Amazing delighted to hear that for you ❤️ how long were you there for? Did you get to hear the heartbeat?

no we didn’t hear the heartbeat but she put it in colour to see the blood flow direction, this is my second baby and I don’t recall seeing that with my first! We were in quite a while to be honest, 15-20 mins maybe, again I didn’t remember being in that long with my first 2 years ago. It was actually a really nice experience. We saw the baby swallowing and grabbing her feet xx

Omg that's adorable 😭😭😭😭😭

it was about 50mins for the ultrasound so I was there for about an hour checking in etc.. but baby wasn't cooperating so that might have pushed it longer
