They'd tell you only the basics and send the report to your OB ASAP and your OB would call you to come in. They're only sonographers, they're not medically trained to sit down with you and discuss what is happening. That's what an OB/GP is for.
A sonographer can only see whats going on they can tell you what they see, but a Dr or Ob can discuss what can or should be done, they would have a letter printed inside your scan results, and then the Dr would talk to you.
They would probably recommend you speak to your Dr if they saw anything abnormal.
Our sonographer went back 3 times to measure something... She said all is well but now I am convincing myself that there must be something wrong if she had to go back and do it again?????
When was your scan? If there was something wrong, you probably would have received a call from your OB by now. It is common for them to go back and look at something a couple of times as sometimes bub isn't in the right position. They'll go out and look at the prints, come back in, look again etc.
Very rarely these days will they put the report in the envelope with the scans. They usually send the report over the referring dr.
Try not to worry too much Zinnia, it might've been that bubs wasn't in a great position to measure it the first couple of times, or they were just double-checking. I'm pretty sure they would've told you if there was something to worry about, or as the others have said your care provider would've been in contact. If it is really worrying you maybe give your care provider a call today and ask so that you can ease your mind.
