Last night we had our NT scan and it was almost a total fail. Baby H would NOT get into position. After a half hour of trying - and having me jump up and down, roll over, etc - the tech gave up and rescheduled me.
On the bright side, we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time, and got some U/S pics that don't look like a blob. And even brighter, we'll get more pics when we go back in two weeks!
The pics didn't come out so well, but I'll post one anyway, because I need opinions. Are those the arms that are sort of flailing about near the head? Or is our baby just going to have a ginormous head? These things might as well be those Magic Eye posters because I can never see anything.
Had the same thing happen to me, but they didn't reschedule me. I just have to do bloodwork at my 16 week appointment. It was nice to hear the heartbeat!

Aww, sorry you didn't get all the measurements, but yay for another u/s in two weeks! And that looks like the baby's head, but it's not all that giant - head growth stalls dramatically from this point on. In earlier weeks, the baby's head is much larger in proportion to the rest of the body. By the time the baby is born, the head is about 1/4 of the size of the body.
Ugh those Baby H's, they're stubborn aren't they? Our Baby H was all snuggled butt facing us, I had to stand up, cough, laugh, everything...FINALLY the little person decided to cooperate, but wasn't happy. I hope next time Baby H cooperates. But it is cool that you get to see the baby again - score!
Re: NT Scan fail.
