Yesterday I went for my 20 week anomaly scan. I felt nervous, sick and worried but a little excited about finding out the sex if possible. Went in and the girl was terrible she looked like a student /12 year old asked me to lift up my top. Then put on the jelly and she didn't talk for like 5 mins felt like forever. She didnt say if the baby was alright or if she was seeing what she needed. Only proceeded to tell me about 5 times because of high bmi pictures wasnt good and she couldnt get measurements. This I knew felt like she was just saying your too fat cant see over and over again. She dug in the thingy to my tummy it really hurt was holding back tears because I wanted to get the info I needed. Then she turned on the screen showed me and DH a foot and head that was it. DH asked about the sex she said she thought she had an idea but didn't want to say and to come back for the measurements coz she couldn't see (again because of high bmi) then she said I'll print pics whilst I used the loo. And to meet at the desk for appointment next time.
she didn't say if my baby was alright or hear the heart beat or if anything I came out in tears and thinking my baby wasnt alright.
Wasn't til I got home I seen she had put scan report in notes and she did measure some things needed.
I feel upset and angry I was told nothing I'm a first timer and didn't know what to expect. Feeling worried about the rescan now.
