MummaBear, I am sure everything is good. When I had a morpho scan at week 13, the technician also took a long time (about an hour). Apparently, everything is fine (got my results last week)! The reason which took so long is because my bub was moving all the time! I saw him/her moving in the screen like every 5 seconds from facing us with head than back... you name it. So, please don't stress yourself out because an over active baby can sometimes make procedures longer than usual!
Take care and let us know the results! In the mean time, you are in my thoughts and prayers!
when my ob did a scan of my 2nd bubba, measuring all the head measurements - some were out by at least a week or so from my dates. some were showing a week behind, some a week ahead but the total circumference was normal. i was really worried too but everything was fine. i cant really help on the other questions but i hope the next scan is much less stressful for you. im sure everything will be a ok!
3 boys! how exciting. i have two boys and we have a third baby on the way. im sure its another boy.
Hi there!!
Sorry to hear you had such a confusing experience. I know exsactly how you feel!!
At my 20w scan, bubs measured only 18w. I hadn't worried too much as I had read somewhere that any scans after 12w can be out by up to 2 weeks. The sonographer tole me when I asked about the sex of my bub, that it was too early to tell. I was disappointed.
She also mentioned that I needed to go back for another scan in 2 weeks time as she couldnt see my bubs heart properly.
It was a little weird, but I wasn't too concerned at the time. I went back for my 22w scan with bubs measureing 22w... exactly the right size for my EDD.
Bub's Heart was fine, although something completely different was discovered so I am now headed to Melbourne in the morning for further scans. It's not a big deal... but still scary.
Try not to be to stressed... I know thats so hard to do when you hear something may be 'possibly abnormal'. You will probably find that when you go back for your scan, bub's has grown. Mine had a growth spurt, and did 4 weeks of growing in 2 weeks!! lol
Good luck with your scan and if you ever need to chat, checkout my pins @ hotmail dot com.
