Baby sticking tongue out in ultrasound

[Liverpoolgirl50]

I’m posting because I’ve never seen anything like this 😂 but after looking closely at my 12 week scan it looks like baby is sticking it’s tongue out.. is that normal? The ultrasound tech didn’t say anything but I can’t stop looking at it haha.

😍😂 Blew my mind when I learnt that they swallow the amniotic fluid👅

Yes my consultant pointed out my baby doing this at a scan yesterday and said she was swallowing the amniotic fluid. I think it’s why baby keeps getting the hiccups!

At my most recent scan baby was licking the placenta

Oops posted too soon!

I was going to add that our midwife said it was normal (and adorable!). Basically practicing for when they need to latch/swallow!

Yes, we saw our little one having a drink in our scan- I hadn't heard of it before!

We saw our baby swallowing the fluid and sucking his thumb on our scan!

So funny! Our baby looked like they were giving us the middle finger when we had a 3D scan!

We saw ours have a wee during a scan at 28 weeks, I was AMAZED

We watch dd1 playing with the umbilical cord on one of our scans, she was bending it and pulling it 😂😂 it's mad what you can see in the scans these days xx

That's not the tongue, it's the baby's hand on the side of the face. If you look you can see the arm.

DD1 was hiccuping during my 20 week scan with her. Tech said she was drinking the fluid

That would be one big tongue on a small baby

I have the same too ❤️❤️

3d scan at 37 weeks baby winked and laughed was very funny
