not such a great experience- moan

[cupcake]

so as u know i had my last scan and it was ok except for this calcification thing i need to get check out. i just feel so disappointed. i was so looking forward to seeing my baby and the experience was nothing like my 16 wk scan. at the 16 wk one the doctor was so nice, he pointed out all the babys body parts and showed us two pictures of the baby in 3d. the doctor was nice, the room was calm and quiet with soft music in the background and i left feeling so happy. i stared at the pictures for ages.

this time it was a different doctor, he was annoying. he was cocky. he kept sighing throughout the whole thing. he pointed out the babys parts in a kind of dead voice and its was hard for my husband to see. i couldnt concentrate on enjoying it at all. the baby did not want to cooperate and turn to face the doctor and he kept bashing me all of a sudden with the ultrasound "mouse"
he didnt even warn me and it was terrible, im sure the baby hated it and was scared. i couldnt get any 3d pictures because the baby didnt want to turn to face us. this was my last scan and i didnt enjoy it, i just feel so sad about it.
then in addition this business with the heart. i just left feeling so down.

i know there are worse things in life than feeling disappointed, i just needed to get it out. and if my onion head is reading this then , he was the best onion head ever, he was so supportive.

God I know exactly how you feel, however i haven't been able to enjoy my last 3 scans, my first and second scan were amazing, they showed me in detail body parts and talked me through everything.

And then on my third scan as soon as they found my baby had a bladder blockage, they all went quiet and were whispering to each other and pointing at stuff but not telling me anything (which really annoyed me). Its also hard to enjoy the scan when you can see the problem for yourself on the screen.

My last scan was slightly better because the bladder was unblocked, but there were still a few problems and they still whispered whilst me and OH just sat there.

I haven't even got scan pictures for the last 2 scans because they never gave me any even though I asked.

Lets pray our next scans will be better experiences, because I dread them now. xx

I am so sorry that you had a bad experience during your scan. That's truly unfair!

 

[Vickie]

I'm so sorry that you didn't have a good experience during your scan. I would have been disappointed too.

I am sorry you had a crappy scan. There is nothing wrong with being disappointed either, this is your baby, you want to see it. We all look forward to scans and want to get the most out of them.

I know what you mean. My first scan at 8 weeks the doc was amazing, got to wach the whole thing and he showed us her arm and leg buds and tried to show us her head and such. At the 20 week scan the tech had the screen turned away from us so we couldn't see it. Spent about 30 seconds showing us her bits and pieces (which I couldn't really see cause she wouldn't turn the screen more) and gave us a few pics that weren't really that great. At the one a week later to re-check her brain she didn't show us the screen at ALL and didn't give us any pics. I really want a private 4D scan, but it's that or childbirth classes and the classes are more important

Sorry your scan wasn't what you had hoped for. It's crap that the doctor wasn't as inviting as the last one you had never mind having this other thing that he obviously never bothered explaining to you which is worrying you. I don't know, some health professionals treat us with no respect.

So sorry you never had a good experience this time round. It is disappointing and you have every right to be down about it. x
