Today I played Guinea Pig for my doctor because they are testing a new Ultrasound machine and this is how it went!...
OMG! The new machine that my doctor was trying out today (and they are apparently going to buy
) was AMAZING! They can do the ultrasound in lots of colors and the images are SOOOOOO clear.
Cool things I can remember at the moment:
1) Baby had the hiccups and it was SOOOOOOO cute!
2) Baby was kicking and punching like a kickboxer.
3) The ultrasound machine can be changed on screen to show levels of blood flow in the baby and from the placenta to the baby and vice versa! This was BY FAR the coolest part of the scan. I and everyone else could easily see that they baby has LOTS of blood flow from the placenta. VERY COOL!
4) We got to see and measure the baby's brain. Although we are pretty sure that it is a boy, I will know for sure at 20 weeks. However the nurse goes, "Baby has a nice big brain. Must be a girl!" Then we both started laughing!
5) I came home with 7 pictures but I am only posting the best 3. The others look almost like repeats.
6) Baby looks like a BABY now! YAY!!!
7) Head, Brain, Body length all measure PERFECT! YATTA!!!
So, scan went great. next appt/scan is on June 18th. Until then, I can rest and know the baby is growing healthy!
And, here are the pics... (BTW... Picture #3 is of the brain!)
