21 weeks pregnant and worried about baby's hand position on scans

4 replies

I am 21 weeks pregnant and have had 3 ultrasounds in the past week as my baby was too stubborn to move so they could not fully do her anomaly scan. They did note that on each scan her hand was consistently in the ‘Rock and roll’ position 🤘. Has anyone had experience with this? I am starting to worry it’s not normal and she may have an issue with that hand. First time mum so possibly worrying too much. Xx

I’m so sorry… your child is going to be a groupie and love rock n roll.

In seriousness though it’s just a natural hand reflex.

It could be that they have just been unable to visualise her whole hand or it could be that she has a congenital hand difference affecting some of her fingers - I absolutely don't want to worry you, but I also don't want to pretend it isn't a possibility. No matter what happens in an promise you she will be absolutely perfect!

If she does happen to have a hand difference there is a wonderful community of families in the UK ❤️
