    In general sonographers will not release information directly to you. However if something was urgently amis they would usually get someone in for a 2nd opinion or to talk to you straight away.

    I'm sure everything is fine.
    :yeahthat:

    I have checked with my mum about this previously (she's a manager at an imaging place here) and if there seems to be any issues with bub, the sonographer will have someone come in for a 2nd opinion. However they won't necessarily tell you exactly what the problem is. All reports are sent directly to your OB/Dr, and sent urgently if there are any problems.

    When we went to our 20 week scan they looked at everything, organs,borns,head,etc and sent us on our way.... when we were there though our sonographer was pulled away to have a look at someones elses ultrasound because they wanted a 2nd opinion. She came back looking down and said not all scans are happy scans.... obviously someone else was getting some bad news. that was at the hospital in NSW (sydney) So Im guessing they'd tell you if something was wrong (especially so you could consider your options asap , being that its the easter long weekend....

    Sounds like everything with your bub is FINE Relax and have a happy Easter

    when we had our scan for katy we had 2nd dr come in, then we were asked to wait outside then taken into a office and our dr rang to give us the news not sure if this is standard practice but i imagine if something was wrong your ob would have been notified straight away and called you in

    so relax

    When I had my scan for Emmanuel a 2nd sonographer was called in and we were told the bad news then and there. I'm sure if nothing was said everything will be ok. All the best.

    Hi and thanks everyone

    I really hope they would have told us there and then.

    I'm just a little worried about the spine, as it doesn't seem as clear and straight as our DS's did last time at the same scan. I guess I shouldn't be analysing something I know nothing about though...

    When I rang the Ob at 2:30 (scan was finished around 12:30) they hadn't received the file yet, so I'm hoping they would have sent through to them earlier if there was a problem...
