The baby is healthy and all organs and parts are measuring the right size and is right on track. I was a bit disappointed though because the tech didn't give me any pictures at all. It was a second US for the chromosome testings they do so it seemed to be all about measurements. Which is good, but I already figured it was healthy since the first US was good and then I had blood work done and that was good. I was totally bummed when we left.

First off, we were late because dh was to pick dd up 15 minutes early from school, the teacher sent her to the office instead of letting her go out the back door (right beside her classroom). So dh was confused and we were 15 minutes late getting to the appt. I don't think the tech was that happy with us. The tech kept saying "I didn't think you were coming" even though I had called the office when we were on our way to make sure they would still take us. I just think the tech was a bit ticked off because she thought she was going to leave early and then I show up. The secretary didn't want to schedule the US to begin with, that late, but it is hard to get off work, get the kids rounded up and get there any earlier. At least they didn't have to miss school for basically nothing.

Even if I would've gotten the shots she took printed, they were really blurry shots that you couldn't even tell what was what. I kept having to ask her what that was and she wouldn't stay on it long enough for any of us to see exactly. KWIM? She scanned the face a couple times, but very quickly and when I asked about seeing the face, she just said yeah, that's the face. Didn't even try to get a shot of it. I think the baby was sleeping because it was not as active as it was before and was not moving around much. The hands were in fists and she tried wiggling the wand thing where the hand was, but the baby was being stubborn and we couldn't even get a hand shot. Probably a boy then.. lol At one point, she was getting a shot of the upper leg, lower leg. I asked if there were two legs, her response..."I would assume, I only need to get measurements off one leg since it's the same measurement." She didn't even humor me and try to find the other leg. I asked about the feet and toes.. never even tried to get them. When the doc came in and she was going over all the measurements with him, we did get to see a quick glimpse of the feet, and I asked if that was the feet, but they both said yeah...that was it, nothing else.

This US took the place of the regular one when you find out the sex. We didn't want to know the sex, so maybe that is why. I am totally disappointed though, it was a waste of our time, money and insurance paperwork and money there. I will talk to my regular doctor about it next week at my appointment and see if maybe he can just do a quicky scan and get me some pics. He's the one that talked me into getting this US instead of the regular one at 20 weeks.


At least the baby is fine and it isn't measuring big anymore.

Oh, I'm sorry. You'd think that people in the business would understand the excitement of seeing your baby for the first time. I hope that they can get you a picture next time. But at least the baby is healthy

I would just ask the DR they take pics for the dr for thoose measurements the dr just might give you one that was taken for him.

I plan to. The problem is... I seen all the shots the tech took up on the computer screen and it wasn't of anything anyone can see or make out. I wouldn't even know it.. It was just parts, like upper leg, lower leg, heart and related positions, parts to that, kidneys (and I couldn't make anything at all out on that one, it just looked blurry)

I'm being selfish, I know.. I just feel jipped is all. I wanted to show off my baby.

They kept ours in the computer and burned CDs for us and sent a copy to our doctor. I'd ask if they can do that...I'd also see if there's a supervisor you can talk to. They make a decent amount of money off these things.
