After A/S question help!

Ok so I am sitting waiting for my A/S and I was just told they won't give me any results until I see my OB. He won't see me for another two weeks and I'm already at 22 weeks now!! So the receptionist told me unless I bring a list of specific questions, my "wonderful" OB will not be specific about results.

So.... I was wondering if I could get some input about what questions to ask post A/S.....

TIA

  • I don't know if it's common to have to bring a list, but I'm guessing the doctor will go over any issues.  Even if the tech won't tell you anything, it doesn't hurt to play dumb during the scan with a lot of "what's that?" & "Is that normal?"  You might get some info!  Here's a list I stole off babymed with what they check for, so I'd just bring that and ask if all of these measurements, etc were normal...
    Face 
    Brain (ventricles, choroid plexus, mid-brain, posterior fossa, cerebellum, cisterna magna, measurements of anterior and posterior horns of lateral ventricles) 
    Skull (shape, integrity, BPD and HC measurements) 
    Neck (nuchal fold thickness) 
    Spine 
    Heart (rate, rhythm, 4-chamber views, outflow tract) 
    Thorax (shape, lungs, diaphragm) 
    Abdomen (stomach, kidneys, liver, bladder, wall, umbilicus, cord, abdominal circumference AC) Limbs (femur, tibia, fibia, humerus, radius, ulna, hands, feet femur length FL) 
    Genitals (gender, abnormality) 
    Cervix (length and opening) 

    Good luck!

  • I never ask specific questions regarding my AS. If something was wrong with part of her anatomy, they would tell me. I don't see a reason to ask about every part of her anatomy for my OB to say 'all good' over and over again.
    If there was a concern previously, I would probably ask the condition of that.
