Just had my first baby scan! :o)

[nat_84]

Just thought i'd inform you all that i just got back to work after having my first scan and oh my gosh it was AMAZING!!!

After a few questions, she splatted the jelly over my belly and in seconds our baby was on the screen!!!

She showed us the baby's heart beating away, said everything seems normal and meausured the little ones head, waist and legs.

It was such an emotional experience, tears filled up in my eyes and my fella had tears streaming down his face.

The nice lady gave us our two pictures for free because she said they were a bit grey because i was bloated...:o(
But one picture in particular is sooo cute and clear!!

Then after the exciting stuff i just had to give blood and urine samples - so fingers crossed for my results in 4 weeks!!

Isnt it such a special thing to see.
So glad alls well with bubs, i take it they couldnt tell the sex or did you decide against asking?

[nat_84]

No we asked about the sex but she said it's too soon.... but we defintely want to know!

Little babys legs were so cute and little!!!!! lol.

lol Sam - one day hunnie!!!! It'll be worth the wait!!

[buzybee]

awww im welling up here :'o) so happy for you hun! i bet you feel like your walkin on air!
take care and congrats to you both!! xxx

[redcrx]

must be such a weight off your mind to know that little one is snug and safe in there.
Did you mention the dizziness to the midwife?

[B00]

They don't tell you until the 2nd set of scans red, usually about 20 weeks (well they didn't with mine anyway)

And lol nat, it's very emotional isn't it? I cried like a real sad sack at both my scans. Are you now showing your work mates going...."there's a leg, there's an arm" whilst they look quizzical because they don't see what you clearly can? Or was that just me :-(

[whiskeysheri]

Aww, babe, that's great!

Little mini nat! How excited will your mum and dad be later?! I'm so happy it's all going well for you, hun. Lots of love x x x

[loobie]

I'm sitting here awwwing at my computer screen and getting ridiculously broody so thanks hun!! I'm so glad all is fine with bubs and hope you are feeling better now. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

[Miss Inquiry]

Congratulations Twinkle....

Reading your post has warmed my heart, i'm sure your gonna be a great mummy!! x

[smudge]

Well done & congratulations nat & fella!

They didn't do scans when our two daughters were on the way in the 60's, but know we'd have both been bawling if they had.

I've scanned & saved all our Granchildren's scan pic's to my pictures - wonderful to look at!

I love babies & watch all the midwifery prog's on Discovery!

[redcrx]

thats what i thought B00, as that was the situation when i had my son in 2005. but someone mentioned a couple of weeks ago over on family that they were told at 13 week scan the sex of the baby. I questioned this and someone else posted that you can tell at that stage.
sorry nat, Im talking over your thread, apologies

[nat_84]

awww thanks everyone!!!! Ur all so nice!!!!

lol BOO as for "workmates" its my miserable boss and hisson. I showed them my pic and they said congratulations and is amazing etc.

In my scan you can see both his/hers little arms and legs!!

My scan pictures going to go in my purse!! So i can show all my friends when we go for dinner on Wednesday!

The second scan pic the baby looks a bit like a rabbit :o(
Both his feet are in line so it looks like he's got massive feet - lol. BUt my fella was happy to take that one!

I'll try and post up the pic tomorrow! xxx

[nat_84]

Oh and did ask about the fainting thing and she just said it was normal.

I asked the midwife what my blood pressure was like and she said normal.

So i'm just going to make sure i eat and drink something first thing in the morning now! DOnt fancy going through that again!

[johnlambert]

nat, so glad to hear that everything is ok after tis morning, try a cup of tea and a ginger snap biscuit to counteract the morning sickness.
