"Detailed scan" ???

Are you considering one?

Can I be blunt ... Ok I am going to be but feel free to tell me I've over stepped the line!!

Your VERY edgy as it is ... a little worrier I don't think you going for one of these if your considering it the best of ideas.

 

Ah I thought this was a private thing.

Sorry not quite got to this stage yet ...

I gather if you said yes it is optional so surely they can't 'make' you. Oooo some of the other girls would be better on this one I think.

I wouldn't worry sweetie to me it sounds like you have a kicking little boy there & a born worrying Mummy lol x

 

You don't have to go to any scan, its routine.

Your not made to sign anything to say you have to go.

 

we never used to get detailed scan. most places just get the 12week scan and thats it unless they are high risk. i had a detailed scan with both my too. as my little sister died from sina bifida so i had a high risk of my children having it.

but all was fine.

my mum had 2 spinabifida babies one she found out at 20weeks detailed scan and it was very serve so she ended the pregnancy.

the detailed scans are good they look at every thing.

but if there was a problem but you no it would not change your mind having th child or not then dont think it is worth going to them

 

No

Just check and measure the spine, Legs, head curcumfrance and belly etc

Tis all fine.

They do this also and tbh its not that worrying!!

They check all chambers of the heart and see if the kidney and liver is functioning correctly.

Stop reading on the net, your just gonna make yourself crazy

 

they d check all that they check every thing
but you cant make most of it out tbh.

they count every bone etc

 

Please try not to worry . The scan is for your and your babies benefit. If they think there is a problem they will monitor you more closely. My freinds sister lo had a problem with heart and they are monitoring but over time the problem is reducing, however she is getting more regular checks ,will not be allowed to go oveer dates, may be given a section and bubs will be closely monitored, Bristol will also be on stanby IF they needto intervene medically.

I'm not trying to worry you but point out IF there is a problem and i mean IF it just gives you the care you need.

My cousin was born with large hole in heart and is fine now, but when i had scan this time (didn't find out till recent) they checked very carefully. I was bricking it in case they found anything
butt was all ok.

Its only natural to worry about scan, but STOP looking on tne net and winding yourself up, post here and we will try and help.

 

I agree with Caroline ...

Google is an evil sometimes

They looked at everything with Seren. My sonographer was helpful and pointed out which bit was which - we saw the brain, the heart chambers, liver etc. It was very thorough but was fun as we got to see Seren again. I was nervous before hand - I was with every scan, convinced that this was when they were going to find something wrong. Like you I am a worrier and I suffer from anxiety so yes I did get myself in a state but these are routine scans and they are there so IF (and it is a big IF) there is a problem they can help prepare you or treat it sooner. Yes bad things do happen to people but there is no reason why your baby won't be healthy. Try not to get to anxious,, after the first second scans are great fun and a way to meet your baby again. Let us know how Friday goes and post pics of your scan

 

my detailed scan i thought was ace!!!!!

we got to see everything! even the little creases on the bottoms of Rhys' feet!

 

I had a detailed scan with Rebecca, as Dale's sister died at 2 days old with a congenital heart condition that could be hereditory. All was fine. x
