20 week/Anatomy Scan Ultrasound Thread

Taylovesbrad

Hi ladies mines on thursday. I'm excited and a little nervous to see this babe. Let's post pics of our little chick's and support each other as we get our results.

kimb311

Great idea to keep it all in one place. As we all get closer it's going to be one of those annoying messes! Good thinking!
I have my AS tomorrow and am a total mess. History of multiple loses and every milestone freaks me out that this is the time we find out the bad news.

I have my anatomy scan on Thursday too! Super anxious as well as we also decided to not get testing done. Praying for a perfect healthy LO!

@Tayslovesbrad Mine is also thursday at 18+3. I am so nervous, I am at a high risk clinic bc of a condition my baby was born with and passes a month after birth. Cant explain my feelings, im just praying hard.

Mine is this Friday at 20 weeks. We are very excited and don't care if our baby is a boy or a girl. We just want to start setting up the nursery already! 

crisobrewha

Good luck!  Mine is next Wednesday so fingers crossed!

My doctor does anatomy scan at 15weeks! Just wanted to tell people I thought this was so odd but I did find out the sex yesterday! (Baby girl)

elise&babyB

Mine is in a month!! I'm so jealous of you ladies that have already found out or are finding out soon!!

CMDD

Yes let's keep this here for everyone to post in one place. Mine isn't until 8/21!!

amama3

Mine is August5th!! Will be 19 1/2wks. Can't wait to see my baby "> 8->

Mine's on Monday too. We had a part one anatomy scan at 17 weeks where we also found out it's a girl and now it'll be part 2. I'm extremely nervous. In my last pregnancy we found out at 20 weeks about my daughters's congenital heart defect so I'm terrified it'll happen again. We also have an echo scheduled next Wed to look at the heart in more detail. Hard to get excited when I worry so much.

Elisemenchies

Mines not until July 31st! I can't wait , hope yours all go well!!

minceys4

Mine is not till August 3rd it feels like an eternity away. I'm just ready to know if everything is ok so I can breathe a little bit easier. You would think being my third time I would be used to the waiting.

vppittman

@AlejandraN2 are those types of heart defects genetic? It definitely sounds stressful to have something specific like that to worry about. Good luck and keep us updated.

vppittman

Mine is a week from tomorrow. I already know the sex and that we are low risk for downs because of the blood test, but I'm still a tad nervous bc I had a miscarriage with my last pregnancy. Luckily I got a sneak peek last week because of a slight bleed. My OB did an us and cervix check and everything was good then.

fashiongirlsteph

Had my anatomy scan an a fetal heart echo last week. We already had a CVS test done at 12w and knew it was a healthy baby girl so was just concerned about the echo (My niece has a severe CHD) Thankfully all went well!! Getting ready to finally announce to the rest of the family and our friends. 20 weeks is a long time to keep a secret!! Halfway there!!!!

missphil

I just had my 20 week ultrasound on Monday and the baby gave me his thumbs up, a-ok!
Good luck to everyone!!

AlejandraN2

vppittman they didn't find a genetic mark for what she had no (we did a lot of genetic testing after she was born). So it was a fluke, but once you have one cardiac baby, you're more likely to have another. I'm hoping that this baby gets an easier entry into the world.

I go Friday morning at 730!! I'm so excited even though we're team green I can't wait to see my little babe !! I'm wondering if this baby will be holding his ear like my son or sucking their thumb like my daughter

chickadee87

Mine is Aug 11th. Ages away!! Nervous as im a ftm x

maryleffue

Mine is on Monday at 19w 5d. Can't wait to see the baby again! We already know its a boy but we miss seeing him!! Hoping everything is perfectly healthy and normal at the US.

Kaeter

Mine is 19 days away on August 3 feels like I just found out I was pregnant December 25 will be here before I know it ... Still undecided if going to find out if it's a boy or girl

caitlingray

Mine is Thursday too! There are so many emotions built up in me right now! Nervous, excited, happy, terrified. Plus they are having me drink 32oz of water 45 min before and I'm not convinced I'll be able to hold my pee for the whole ultrasound! Can't wait to see my LO and finally say he or she definitively.

Taylovesbrad

Woke up this morning and am super nervous about tomorrow's appointment. Ugh! I just want everything to be.ok. can they count fingers and toes?
Congrats @missphilippine !!! Looks like your babe is suckling their thumb.
Praying for you @msierra3

I can understand exactly how you feel. I'm a FTM, but I have a congenital heart defect which increases the risk that my baby will too. I'm excited to find out the sex, but my fetal echo is the same morning (next friday). I'm essentially on the verge of tears every minute I'm so scared I passed on that gene. Yes, I knew the risks going into the pregnancy, but it was a lot more abstract talking about it 2 years ago when I wasn't pregnant vs. getting ready for the testing now that I'm almost halfway through this pregnancy.

leannecruz

Everything is right in my world! Team green-- but the ultrasound tech i think gave it away.

GodIsFaithful93

@Taylovesbrad I'm in the same boat as you!! SO freaking nervous for my 8:30am appointment tomorrow! I cannot stop thinking about it! Just hoping everything with our LO looks perfectly healthy! Hope your appointment goes amazing!!

abloom6510

Mine is next Friday. Blood testing says we aren't high risk for anything but still super nervous...

kimb311

Just walked out of the anatomy scan and super happy to report that everything looked beautiful and perfect to quote my MFM!!! I couldn't sleep last night, this morning my stomach was a mess. But we walked out with a perfect looking little boy! Who P.S. Had a woody the whole time "> We go back in 6 weeks for an echo. Not because anything was wrong, just policy for this office if you are AMA. I'll take any extra peeks they want to give me! Off to Buy Buy Baby to order furniture!

GodIsFaithful93

Congratulations, @kimb311! How exciting and funny! That will be a good embarrassing story to tell him! Happy shopping!

I had mine this past Monday, and we found out we're having a boy!  I didn't realize I'd be so nervous, but it's always amazing to see your baby on the ultrasound, especially to see how much things have changed!  We meet with our OB to go over the findings next week, but I think things went ok  Plus I haven't heard anything for our doctor yet, and she will call if something is amiss.  Fingers crossed!

I found this short video about what to expect in the anatomy scan! I have mine Friday and am cautiously excited!
