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.

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.

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.
