Dating scan


My dating scan was today and it was amazing.


I was just about in tears before the scan started because I was so worried something was going to be wrong. 



It wasn't. As soon as she started the scan the baby was dancing around. He kept touching his face with his hands. Everything looked great. 



[I say he - obviously I don't know the sex this early but I hate saying it]



I had opted for the CUBS. The baby was in the wrong position for this so I had to life my hips off the bed and jiggle them to get the baby to move. It worked. Initially the baby was facing outward but she needed him to be facing up. NT measurements came back 1.1mm. Three measurements were taken to get an average and they were all 1.1mm. Anything below 3.0mm is normal. A blood sample was taken as part of the CUBS but I won't get the results back for 10-14 days. I think with the measurements being that low I don't think I would risk an amniocentesis. 



The baby measures 59.9mm which puts me at 12 weeks + 2 days. 



My next scan is 6th October - I'll be 19 weeks + 6 days then.
