Second anomaly scan?

Hi I'm pregnant with my first baby, I'm having a little boy Grin I went for my 20 week scan and all measurements were fine but his legs couldn't be measured as he wouldn't straighten them, I was told to turn on both sides but still no luck Sad is this something to be worried about?

No, don't be worried. I had to have a second scan because baby wouldn't roll over to get face shots. They'll check again within 3 weeks and more than likely get the right pics they need

I had to have a second one for the exact same reason and everything was fine they got to see what they wanted straight away was just the baby position stopping them at the first one

Very common, don't worry xx

No, it doesn't mean there is anything wrong, just that baby was in a silly position so they're getting you back in to take the measurements they couldn't take. I had to do this as well as my baby was laying down on its front so they couldn't take the heart pictures/measurements the first time and had to wait for it to flip over!

This almost happened to me too, fortunately right at the end after lots of jumping up and down and coughing baby moved and they got the measurements.
It's nothing to worry about though, they just can't complete the scan until they have all the measurements, and they can't keep trying for ages or they end up running really late for all the other appointment. I am sure they will get them next time.
