At my 20 week scan. Sonographer said everything looks fine. Took a scan photo for another member of staff to look at. They want to get a photo of the nuchal fold again as they had some concerns. Want me to come back in 30 mins (12:45) - I've thrown up I am so anxious. Not sure what I need but if you could help me pass the next 30-45 mins a little quicker I would be hugely appreciative of that.

Hiya, let's distract you. First baby? Are you finding out if it's a boy or girl?

NC505 · 18/06/2018 12:21

tiny we aren't. I thought I saw a willy though! It's my first and my partner's second. Felt first kicks about a week ago, very exciting!

Hi OP! How was your weekend? What did you get up to? X

tinygirlsmum · 18/06/2018 12:22

Ahhh, makes me want to do it again! Is there somewhere you can get a drink of water if you've been sick? How about something to eat, it's nearly lunchtime!

Hey, when I am trying not to think about something I visit the imaginary zoo. First I think about something beginning with A like anteaters, then I try to visualise them and what I know about them. When I’m done I move on to Bears or Bees.

Can I ask how old you are OP?

NC505 · 18/06/2018 12:24

fruit hi! Made pancakes for Father's Day, went for a lovely walk, saw my mum on Friday. Very chilled. Have been nervous about the scan all weekend! Surely she wouldn't say 'everything looks fine' then seek a second opinion? That would be unprofessional, I think Sad

waves I hope it goes ok :) have you thought of any names?

Melliegrantfirstlady · 18/06/2018 12:24

Could they not get the baby into position? I don’t understand why they want you back in 30 mins

NC505 · 18/06/2018 12:25

tiny I am so nervous I don't think I could eat a thing Sad

Joke my ds just told me...

What did the constipated plumber have to do? Work it out with a pencil.

Melliegrantfirstlady · 18/06/2018 12:25

Still so young! Honestly the worrying never stops with children 👶. I’m sure things will be absolutely fine.

NC505 · 18/06/2018 12:26

rat we haven't! We have tried but disagree on everything! DSD has hundreds though haha.

mellie I think they have other people to scan and they have a free slot in 30 mins? That's what I gathered anyway..

Hello there ! I’m just getting ready for work. So can’t be bothered. Naughty aren’t I lol.

Do you watch spring watch? I’m so sad it’s over !

Hopeful16 · 18/06/2018 12:27

I had to do this - they wanted to see baby's spine and she wouldn't shift. I had to walk round for 30 mins and go back. During which time she had moved position and they could see what they needed.

NC505 · 18/06/2018 12:28

inand no I don't! What's that?

OP posts:
ohlittlepea · 18/06/2018 12:29

Because then they would have the consultants opinion Melliegrant.

Sorry its such an anxious wait OP. Do you have headphines with you? Theres some amazing relaxation meditations on you tube you might be and able to zone out to.

I like the imaginary zoo idea 😍

NC505 · 18/06/2018 12:29

hopeful she said she would come out with a photo an we could go home, but she immediately got another member of staff in to the room to ask them something and they've said they want to scan again to check the nuchal fold. But this is after she's already told me everything is fine. Im confused.

OhTheRoses · 18/06/2018 12:29

Could you go for a walk? Handhold here.
I look at clohds at times like this and see if any look like animals.

NC505 · 18/06/2018 12:30

ohlittle should they have told us they needed a second opinion to prepare us do you think? Rather than telling us everything looked perfect? This is agonising.

I was a lovely programme on BBC2 with Chris packham and michaela strachan about spring, they would set up cameras underground and watch badgers etc.

NC505 · 18/06/2018 12:31

Can you walk to the hospital shop and buy a magazine or some water or anything? The walk will pass the time than staring at a clock perhaps
