My little boy looks amazing!
The woman doing the scan was lovely. She was talking me through everything. Everything looks completely healthy. What a relief! The baby wasn't cooperating when it came to getting proper measurements of his heart though so I've to go back on Tuesday for another scan. She said not to worry about it because he was just in an awkward position - he was head down facing towards my back. That was the only measurement she couldn't get.
I mentioned at the start of the scan I would like to know the sex so if she gets a good view to point it out! When she was checking his bladder she said she thinks she can see boy bits but wasn't sure. After she measured one of his little feet and his leg she managed to get a good shot of between his legs. She said she can't say 100% but it was pretty obvious! I shouted out it's a boy before she said anything!
I also have a low lying posterior placenta. I have to have this checked at 34 weeks so I have a scan for the middle of January. She also mentioned his head was blocking her view of some of the placenta towards the end. Since his head was low in my pelvis it must be quite low but I'll try and not think about it too much!
It was an amazing experience seeing him today. There was a huge difference from when I last seen him at 12 weeks. I'm just so relieved he is healthy.
My mum enjoyed the scan today. She said she was tearing up during it though. I'm glad I had her with me for it.
After the scan we went out and I bought some baby clothes. Blue of course!
