Had a really good scan, baby would not stay still!! lol He was on one side facing my belly and by the end of the scan he had turned a good 180 and looking away. US tech could not go in the order she usually does because he would not cooperate at all (so wiggly and moving and kicking - though I felt none of those movements). He also would not stop showing off!!!

He was measuring 21 weeks, so he is a few days ahead, but otherwise looking very healthy.

Doc also discussed the spina bifida results from my 16 week blood draw. She said it is very low about 1 in 59000 chance.

My weight gain still seems to be on track, although looking at it, it is heading closer to the 35 lb range rather than 25 lb range.

Overall it was a pretty good scan, even though the tech scared me at how much she kept pushing the wand into my abs.

Unfortunately I was also diagnosed with SPD and doc had no real way to relieve it. She suggested trying tylenol and a support belt. She did say sometimes SPD just lasts a few weeks and goes away, so we'll see how that goes.
 
Aw congratulations on the scan! Great news about the spina bifida... SPD can vary from person to person, hopefully yours will go away!
 
Glad all went well :) sounds an active little boy!
 
I had excruciating SPD with my DD (like, I had a hard time walking at all), but like your doc said, it just went away after about 3 weeks. FX'ed yours does the same!
 
Awesome! Hope mine goes just as good as yours :) My first just lay there sleeping so maybe this baby will show us his/her moves and give us a show :)

Ugh, I hate when the tech pushes so hard during the ultrasound. It's like can you not? Lol
