I had my 32 week scan today (pic on my blog :D )the women doing the scan made a comment that there was a bit of hair on his head.
I didn't think much of it but said Oh that would be a nice change, as none of my kids have hair at birth (well very little).
Anyway it got me thinking, How can you see hair on an ultrasound?
Not sure FJ, but we saw hair on DS's head at our 32 week u/s as well. We got a 3d one.
YUP :) at my 36 weeks scan with DS 2 she said wow look at all the hair and we got to see it floating in the amniotic fluid.. so cool.. When we had Ds 3 we saw a little and same for DD..
ha its funny actually.. at my wellbeing scan (so I was one day off being 42 weeks) the sonographer said that bubs had a LOT of hair - like HEAPS...
And no... not heaps.. only a little tiny bit... looks like a grumpy old man actually, balding on top but hair on the sides.. lol
At my 34 week scan, my sonographer told me the same. It wa a standard 2d scan aswell.
He did come out with a fair bit of hair too.
I haVE done a bit of googling & found that it caN be seen on the 2d but not the 3d.
It was in the 2d mode that she said it.
our sonographer commented on dd's long eyelashes, and sure enough, she has beautiful long ones!
You can definitely see it!
We had a regular black and white ultrasound with DD at 34 weeks and you could see a halo of hair floating around her head, clear as day. When they have alot of hair, and they're floating in fluid it "sticks up" so you can definitely see it.
I remember when she was starting to crown the midwife said "OH gee!! She's got LOTS of hair!!" and I said "I know!"...kinda ruined the motivation factor she was trying to give me :lol:
They could see it on our scans too. We only had the normal ones.
She showed us and I was like WOW. She said there was a fair bit, and he came out with a ton of hair too.
hmmm I wish I got her to point it out for me!
