Had the 12 week scan this morning. A slightly odd affair. We were on time and were told it may take up to an hour. A woman arrived after us but was late for an earlier appointment, she was throwing the toys out the pram as she insisted she had dr. blah blah do the scan, after much shouting they agreed (I think just to move things on).
As a result we got delayed a bit and ended up with another sonographer. There was a language barrier from the start. It was all a bit slap dash with no explanation of what was going to happen of what did happen. When we did ask a question, he just replied I am doing the scan, are you ok?
Anyhooo we saw junior wriggle about and it was magic. After much 'tuning in' he was able to take measurements and a couple of stills. We said is everything ok? He said as far as I can see, it's a bit fuzzy but looks ok. I will do you a report. Ok I thought that will give us the details. Wrong.
He then said to wait outside for bloods to be taken and handed us the print out and the stills.
The report said bugger all, it dated the baby at 3 days later than predicted and said the scan was fuzzy and the NT was 1.3mm at 12+2.
As far as I can work out that is 'normal'.
We sat waiting for ages for the blood test, we then went to reception, asked what was going on and was told to pop your head around the door over there. We did and the lady then took weight, blood etc. I think we would have been there all day if we hadn't asked.
In the end the result seems ok but really the scan was a bit flaccid.
I was hoping for at least an explanation as we went along as to the image on display but nothing.
Will now have to wait for the blood results and then the 20 week scan.
Bah.
