12 week ultrasound scan - what can we see?

Recently had our ultrasound at 13 weeks (see attached), but we aren't sure what we're seeing! We know the head of course and think we can see a little hand at the top-middle, but can't tell if we're looking at the side of baby, or the back and they're facing away. Their brain seems to indicate lying on an angle but we've no idea whether this is true as we can't work out any of their facial features! Thanks in advance for advice from those more experienced than us!

I’d say the baby’s head is slightly turned away from you so you can’t see an outline of the nose etc. Theres the stomach which you can see and then the leg/ foot at the bottom.

I had a bit of a nightmare getting any scan images of my baby boy as he always turned away from us. It became a running joke that he did what he needed and then turned to sleep!

This is baby from the side. They have both hands just infront of their face, which is why the nose/profile of the face isn't quite as clear.
Then as you move to the left you can see the belly and further along (and more vertical) is one of baby's thighs :)
