20 week scan

Had our 20 week scan today - have to go back in 2 weeks as couldn’t do all the anatomy they needed due to baby being so curled up and tucked away.. anyone else had this? Sonographer said everything she could see was fine but I’m stressing 😓

I had the same! They couldn’t see the face and the heart properly as the baby was curled up. I think it’s mainly a time issue, they didn’t have time to make me walk around in the hopes of the baby moving so they rather you come back and have another try. Try not to worry! If all the bits they saw looked good, I’m sure the rest is fine too 💜

I honestly don't think they let you reschedule if they have any concerns, they will simple just run late for the next patient. So the fact that they have asked you to come back is actually a positive :)

Had this with my first, all fine and totally normal. I was nervous waiting for the repeat scan too.

Low lying placenta

Was told I have a low lying placenta at my 20w scan(5mm from cervix) and when I asked them if it was ok to fly the next week (3h flight) they were a bit vague so now I am confused. Has anyone been flying with a very low lying placenta?

Anyone else nervous to start buying things??

We had our private gender scan last week at 15w+4 at window to the womb and found out we are having a little girl! 🌸 after 2 early losses previously, I can’t help but feel nervous to buy things for her. My family are so excited and have already bought a few things. I keep saying let’s get to 20 week scan then we can buy things properly. Has anyone else started to buy things yet??

Provider didn’t discuss this with me last visit and i just saw results in portal. I was 35 weeks last friday when i had a growth scan (i also have gestational diabetes) but it says estimated gestational age is 33 weeks with the measurements. It also says suspected placental insufficiency. But at the appt the doctor spent 2 mins with me and said everything is fine?? Anyone else had this and things were ok?? I’m now freaking out

Rest

Hi ladies,
How are we getting rest to reset the nervous system when you are alone with a toddler?

My husband is out from 8-530 and I am exhausted..
