alien face!
had my NT scan last week and they gave me a piccy of the babys face. it looks like an alien! just wondering if this is normal for this stage of development? i dunno how to post a photo though. all the side profiles are great its just the front of the face that looks wierd... they didnt mention any concerns though.

Yes it is TOTALLY normal. You have no need to worry, if you want you can google, 12 week ultrasound pictures. You will see your bub is totally normal.

It's pretty creepy isn't it? We got a photo at 12 weeks of our baby staring straight at us with the most evil-looking alien eyes - not really what you imagine your baby to look like!
He still looks a bit odd, but the sonographer said you only get the really nice face scans in the third trimester, when they've put on a bit of fat and the features are filled out.

Yep very normal! At my 18 week scan he looks like a skeleton - pic is in my gallery and it looks like he has no fingers - its just the angle and fluid!

I have been told that is where they actually got the alian image from, ultrasound scans of babies.
