20 week scan

Had my 20 week scan today and everything was fine but they couldn’t find all babies vessels in heart so having to go back? Baby wasn’t playing ball moving which made it difficult and midwife wasn’t the most helpful as had us in and out!
Is this normal?

Try not too worry too much! My first has a heart defect and our scan was much the same I had to go walk around and come back, but they then booked us in the next day at hospital in London for a more detailed scan of his heart which is where they found the defect. (Which doesn’t cause him any problems)
Hopefully if they have asked you to come back for the same scan they are confident they just couldn’t see properly☺️

they didn’t even get me to walk around, literally just tilt to the side and still couldn’t see what they wanted to see so booked me in for 10 days time.. anxiety is sky high ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Fingers crossed if it’s for another 10 days they aren’t concerned, and it’s just a case of baby’s position! But I understand, the nerves I felt the rest of that day and up to my scan were awful

Yeah, 10 days! Just wish they made me do more to change positioning, little pickle was so stubborn and kept putting arms to face 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had mine last week and the same happened to me, I have to go back tomorrow so they can check baby’s heart as they couldn’t see everything they needed to see. I was happy they booked me in for another day as I was sent away twice to go for a long walk and to eat and was doing star jumps in the room but baby still didn’t want to move position.
