ultrasound at 19 weeks and worried

[AJC]

I felt the same way before my 20 week scan - sending you a big big hug!!! Am sure everything is going beautifully.

I feel the same! Hoping to get in for my scan this week or early next week.

It is natural to feel nervous I think. Maybe because you arent experiencing any symptoms you could ask your doctor to use the doppler so you can hear the heart beat when you visit. I thinkyou can even hire or buy these as well.

thanks for the reassurance, starting to feel less anxious

Hey there just go to a GP if you are worried and they should be able to hear babies heart beat from 16wks.. I haven't had a scan since 12 weeks and don't have one til next wed but I have heard babies heart beats (I have twins) twice just at the doctors.. Mind you I am at docs all the time as I am a high risk pregnancy, but if you go and ask to hear heart beat I doubt they would say no.. Good luck.

yep I was the same, but before I knew it I was in the waiting room, and everything was fine. Our little champ was in there as happy as a pig in mud.
Good luck mate

hi girls, just thought id update you. Went to the ultrasound and bub is still there. The lady doing the ultrasound was terrible. She took 1.5 hr. She could not see the head properly because baby was in awkward position. So then she did vaginal ultrasound. Then consultant came in and said she missed one part. So had to get on the bed again. She still could not find it so consultant tried and found it instantly. I asked about the gender and she said legs were too close together and i should of asked her at the beginning. She was so cold and didn;t give much feedback when doing the ultrasound. I kinda feel ripped off as i was so looking forward to this ultrasound.
