Scan Photos

Mine with my first baby was like this. Hoping this one isn’t the same after giving it to my MIL last time and she saying “what am I looking at?”🙄 we did get much better pictures for our 16 week private gender scan x

Our first pictures weren’t as clear as we’d hoped either, no words to make it better but just sharing so you know you aren’t the only ones 🙂 x

Please try and remember that scans are medical appointments for the sonographer to perform extremely important health checks on your baby. My sister in law is a midwife and sonographer and said that people really do seem to forget this now. Photos are a bonus but are not in any way helpful the purpose of the appointment.

All that matters is that the sonographer was able to do their checks and that your baby was healthy. I know pregnancy can be a nightmare and make you feel like crap and all over the place about things you perhaps never usually would but try and be happy and grateful that your baby is happy and healthy, especially given the huge sadness you had before.

I mean this with all the kindness, I just know that if it were me, feeling similarly, I would want the same reminder. Take care x

Drink just water 3 days before xx

I had the same at Northampton! My private ones are so much better 🤍

All of my pics for my first baby were grainy and bleh. The scan reports state in various medical ways that they are unclear because I’m fat.

My daughter was beautiful. The pictures didn’t matter in the long run. I’ll never have to look at them again because I have her.

Try to stick with the positives xx

We had ours on Friday at mk and they weren’t perfect but they did give me option to buy more and also 2 different photos so 2 of them were good and 2 were okish lol
