Hey ladies - I'm back from my scan. Everything looks good. The tech was silent for the first 10 minutes of the appt, and I was scared to death to ask if there was a heartbeat, but at the end of the scan she let me see it. What a beautiful sight! I have no idea what the baby measured since here in Canada they don't tell you much at the scan - their policy is no medical information. That info will be sent to my midwife, and I'm hoping she'll call me in a couple of days to let me know. I asked about the placenta, but apparently placenta position is medical information too so she couldn't tell me. She did show me on the screen where my placenta was, and with a transvaginal ultrasound it was just right of centre on the top of the screen. I have no idea what, if anything, that means. Anyway, I am sooooooo relieved to have seen a heartbeat! Now I have to wait until my 12 week u/s and I can start to nubsess....

They don't tell you anything.... The techs here are talky talky the whole time.
Happy you had a good scan and I look forward to the nub!
-
Glad everything went well, Mocha! :)

I WISH they were like that here, PP - they're always so tight-lipped here, and you only get to see the screen for the last 2 minutes of the appt!
Anyway, here are some pics. The quality isn't great because I just took a picture of the scan rather than trying to fire up my ancient scanner.

Awww, look at that precious little baby! :)
-
I like to watch when they measure everything and listen to them say how perfect each measurement is...
You got some nice pictures there!

The only time I got to experience a scan like that was when I was pregnant with my twins. Because I had to have a scan every week, I had it in a tiny clinic just down the hall from my OB rather than the official hospital u/s clinic. It was the best clinic - they had two monitors - one facing the tech and one facing me! I got to watch the whole thing, and dh was able to stay for the whole thing too rather than just the last 2 minutes. I miss those days...I get angry that they don't at least let us watch even if they can't give us information - it's MY body after all!
-
Yeah, at my scan they had a mointor pointed my way and I loved watching the scan...though it wasn't very long, it was nice to see everything...
I can't believe they don't try to reassure you first that everything looks good.
The tech didn't give you a due date or anything? Mine got updated to Sept. 16th to reflect my Dec. 25th conception. If you concieved on Dec. 24th, then you should be due Sept. 15th?
-
They should give my midwife the due date info, and she'll probably call me. Right now I'm assuming it's Sept 15th based on both LMP and O day.

Oh, Mocha...such beautiful pics!!! I'm tearing up...I'm so happy for you! :HH:
