I was back up at the hospital this morning for my follow up scan. I know I mentioned last week that my baby wasn't cooperating so the woman doing the scan couldn't get a proper look at his heart or the cord.
I was feeling nervous this morning and more so when I was waiting in the waiting room.
Everyone was absolutely fine and my little boy looks perfect.
It was someone different doing this scan. Her name was Roisin. This was the same woman who done my very first scan at 5 weeks + 1 and also my follow up scan at 6 weeks + 2 when I got to see the heartbeat for the very first time. Roisin was happy with everything. She pointed out the four chambers of the heart. It was so amazing. She then pointed out the cord and showed me the blood flow. After she had checked what she was looking for she just took her time pointing out all his features. She was saying how full his lips are in there! He as really curled up again and apparently has lovely long legs.
Towards the end she asked if I wanted to know the sex. I said last week I was told he was a little boy. Roisin said she thought the baby was looking girly so she called in someone else to try and get a better look. The cord was down between the legs. Eventually we got a really good shot and he is definitely a little boy!!
I did say to her at the end I didn't care about the sex. I'm just so relieved that he is healthy and growing as he should be. She agreed and said that's the most important thing.
It was amazing seeing him again. I won't see him again now until January when I have my follow up scan to check the position of the placenta. I did get another picture but he was moving so much today so it's a bit blurry.
I'm just delighted that my little boy is healthy ♥
