Hello all! :flower:

I just had an ultrasound today at 39+3.

The ultrasound looks soooooo different with a full term baby in there!!!

I've read online the face can look squished and distorted because the pregnancy is so far along... have any of you had this experience ?
 
My girl's face looks squished on her 39 week ultrasound pics. My DH looked at the pics and wanted to know what's wrong with her nose. I told him she's just squished in there and he said I hope her nose isn't messed up :dohh:
 
With my DD I had my last scan at 36+4 and it was a bit difficult to see everything clearly but it was obvious her face was her face IYSWIM
 
At last scan 37+4 you couldn't see a lot as her hands were up by her face... You could still see the odd feature though
 
My son's at 36 weeks were scary! Don't worry, its not a true reflection of their appearance! x
 
100% normal which is why they recommend a 4D at 29 weeks. Their entire bodies are completely squished into a ball (which is why they love to be swaddled after because it comforts them).
 
Haha OK good to know I'm not alone~!!! I was kinda surprised to see what the baby looks like in there ... I was like "hmm.... that doesn't look quite right... :wacko: "

Good to know it's just because (s)he is all squishy! lol poor baby :flower:
 
I had one done around that time and its looked so wierd. It got me really worried. Have since given birth to a perfect baby boy. You have to remember the scan picture is not like a photograph xx :flower:
