This is a place for regular June '18 bumpies to post their ultrasounds and anatomy scans. Our pinned ultrasound thread is really long and clogged up with one post wonders. This is not meant to be exclusionary, if you post semi regularly AW away! If you are a lurker, feel free to post but we would encourage you to jump in on the other weekly threads as well!
This can be an ongoing thread so feel free to bump it with your scan at any time!
I guess I'll do the inaugural post on the "secret" ultrasound board. Had my elective ultrasound last night and it was awesome! We were there for like a half hour just staring at our little BOY and we got to take home 10 pictures!!

@patientlywaiting10 the girl doing mine kept saying 'I'm checking for this... yup, looks all good' for everything. then before we could leave, the dr in the office looks at the pics. so think all is good! I'm sure my dr will confirm everything before I see her again also.

We had a quick ultrasound at our appointment today. She rushed it and the baby was face on so this is what we saw. I really can’t wait to see a more human looking scan...I feel like he’s looked so alien like in ever scan so far (16w 5d)
@helenbz We didn't get a photo yesterday, but ours looked straight at us. FREAKED ME RIGHT TF OUT! I was waving at my husband saying "wtf it looks like a demon! I blame your paranormal shows" {since he watches a lot of that kinda stuff lol} It's just so unnerving and you don't expect it lmao
@helenbz@MissKittyDanger yeah no one really prepares you for the scary skull face baby pictures do they? You always see the cute side profile baby ones. Then you get pregnant and everything’s all tales from the crypt and you are NOT ready.
@Austenista Oh our doctor from the get go has told us, "now your baby won't look much like a baby until much later on. It actually looks a lot like an alien in the early scans". haha I still love seeing that little peanut kicking and moving all around; alien or not. :P
ETA: Yay for good scans for you all so far! Ours is Monday and I'm as equally nervous and excited!

@Austenista They really don't! I mean once you mention it to other mothers, they're like "yeh isn't that creepy!?" and all I think is "WHY DOES NO ONE TELL PEOPLE THAT!?" Although I'm not sure I'd be prepared for that even if I knew lol {my H now jokes he's putting that in the baby book "18 week ultrasound, your mother said you looked like a demon."}
Just your friendly neighborhood reminder that this new thread was started because the old one got clogged... if we keep chitchatting in this thread, it's going to get just as crowded and difficult to wade through.
Unfortunately a little blurry but here's our confirmed boy!
I'm 18+6 today and he's coming in at 19+4, weighing a whopping 11oz already and in the 89% overall. Doctor reviewed scan and he said baby looks great!
DH and I found it cool that his cerebellum was measuring 21+4!! US tech said if any part it's better to be measuring ahead it's in brain function. HB was still strong at 161... Yeah about that wives tale at girls over 150 Anyways, growth check in 4 weeks, can hardly wait to see him again... He was so mellow today for the scan!
Side note- felt my first sure movement about a half hour before today's appt, what are the odds? Even with a confirmed anterior placenta today!
Baby girl doing a *boop*. Sorry it's a little blurry, this is a zoomed in pic of the screen from my vantage point laying down. Did a quick peak with a portable US at work- also confirmed the results of my NIPT, and it is indeed a girl (would post the potty shot, but it's not super clear). Also could clearly see her 4 heart chambers. I have my official anatomy scan on the 30th
Had my anatomy scan this morning - we're having a boy! Got an email from my dr. after the appointment that everything looks normal. Such a relief! Here's a pick of baby doing some yoga.

It’s a girl!! Baby sister was very wiggly and cooperative, the tech today said “She sure hasn’t been shy about showing us she’s a girl this whole time!”
Edited: The pic on the disc looked better than the crinkled up purse picture
Baby boy looked great. He was squirming around like crazy. His profile looks slightly different than our last two, so I’m hoping he comes out actually looking like me.

Ahh!!! I’m totally loving all of these and want to reply to all of you every time but I don’t want to weigh down the post with chit chat. BUT, I’m so happy everyone’s scans are going so well!
We had ours yesterday too! Baby was good at first but then got antsy so the tech was having a tough time getting measurements. She ended up getting what she needed and our ........BABY BOY........ is healthy and looking great! Weighing in at about 13 oz and measuring at about 21 weeks (I’m technically 20 w today). I am so relieved everything is looking great!
Here’s a picture of our sweet boy!

Ahhh!! So happy I got to see my little bubby today! Gender still a mystery (team green); when I asked the tech halfway through the scan if she already knew what it is she said yes! Was so hard to resist asking her to spill the beans but H had me stick to my guns!
And OMG, look at these little tootsies (bottom of right foot)! I'm in love!!
We had our a/s today and the tech said everything looked good. He was moving around and punching/ kicking at everything. As one point he was facing the placenta and it looked like he was using it as a pillow. The tech switched to the 3D view for some face shots then- it's amazing what they can do, but kinda creepy. Congrats to everyone else on the u/s results. Half way there!!
I think I'm regular-ish.... but ill spare you the potty shot, as it's the only "decent" photo they captured. Our boy looks great, although he was absolutely not cooperating for measurements. We get to go see him again in 4 weeks! Rather than an U/S you can peek at our FB announcement. Waited til A/S to announce, so reactions have been so so entertaining!
Clogging this up to say @twelvetwosomeonenew I've been trying to figure out a way to announce on FB, and I think I may steal your idea. That's really freaking cute!
Here's our little man! Everything was perfect during our A/S today. He was wiggly and bouncing around like crazy and when we started the US, he had hiccups!
I'm 20w5d today and he's measuring 22w1d with his head circumference in the 96th percentile! My doctor's office doesn't make adjustments to due dates so I get to go back in April for a growth ultrasound to see if he's still going to be a big, big boy!
So my a/s was last Wednesday, but they put all the ultrasound files on a disc. That's awesome, because they're easier to store in the long run, but my laptop doesn't have a CD drive, so I have to wait until I get to work and download the photos. And it's been busy at work lately.
Anyway, here's our healthy baby boy #3.

Everything looks great. Measuring 19w5d instead of 20w but everything is on track. We turned our heads for the gender area scans but she did print them for us and put them in the envelope with the answer for next weekend. We are keeping it in the glove box of my car and I am curious but holding strong not peaking. The first shot was cracking me up so I had to include it.
Finally got my profile! And baby Girl cooperated well! Found out my placenta is an anterior so helps my PGAL brain a bit. I was worried I wasn’t feeling much. Big sited is so excited to play dress up ❤️ Edit to crop out details thanks @dinodna3 my apps being weird and not recognizing changes on my phone
Finally got to see our baby! 19 w 6 d but measuring 20 w 4 d. Everything looked good...baby was sleeping at first and facing inward but woke up after I emptied my bladder and turned around.
It still seems surreal that we have a little baby in there!

Baby looks great! I have partial placenta previa so will have another ultrasound at 28 weeks to see if it has cleared.
