12 Week Scan, minor problems?

[shazland]

Hi There.
Has anyone had a scan where things haven't worked very well and it has been a bit dissapointing?
I had mine yesterday and it took ages to get a clear enough picture and for the sonographer to do the measurements.
The baby was lying in a funny position so she had to try and turn it around (which with a full bladder was kinda uncomfortable). She also said I had drunk too much water and to go and get rid of some so we could try again. Apparently more "average" sized women don't need to drink as much before a scan??
Then she said I was a bit too "gassy" in my stomach that's why we couldn't see very well
I've been for an earlier scan and everything went fine, but was really looking forward to getting a clear 12 week pic. I look at some other ladies scan pics and they look amazing.
Not the sonographers fault I'm sure but she was rather grumpy.

Hi Shazland

I'm going for my 12 week scan on Wednesday this week. I will let you know. Just to inform you I had a scan at 9 week 3 days as I feel down the stairs and was worried. I got to see quite a bit and maybe you should insist on another appointment as I would be feeling quite hard done by if it was me.

Good Luck and I hope you get to see your little one properly soon x

I have had a 20 week scan before where they couldn't see properly even with loads of effort. It is a shame but as long as everything is ok thats good =)
