The scan on friday was truely amazing - I wasn't expecting to see anything much (I'm a bit of an ultrasound cynic) but was excited regardless.
Apparently it helps if you have a full bladder, which I did not due to them insisting that I give them some wee-wee. I think nurses actually think you have two bladders.
So I took my belt off and my knickers were shuffled down just enough to see some nice pubes poking over the top - but I didn't care. She lubed up my stomach then pressed down with her scanner.
And there it was. Plain as day, something that (to my suprise) clearly resembled a baby. It was about 7cm long inside me and seemed keen on doing acrobatics and swimming about. I had no idea babies that small could move so much! It's really wierd that I can't feel him/her when he/she moves. It kicked it legs and seemed keen on swimming upside down, even the doctor was laughing! I couldn't speak, my eyes had the beginnings of some deep emotion that I am not sure I have felt before, and my mouth remained a little open though smiling.
Because I don't have a camera, or in fact anyway to get the scan picture onto the internet, I've decided to draw you a copy.
Try and imagine that looking more like an ultrasound picture and that's basically it. All looks good so far, if there are problems I should find out after the next scan.
I am quite excited now. :-)
