2nd Ultrasound

Here is the second ultrasound picture, which was done a few weeks ago. It finally looks like a baby. The very bright spots in the hands, head and body are the bone forming, which I thought was pretty cool to be able to see. At my last appointment they were finally able to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler, so it looks like I have a "normal" uterus now.

12 Week Appointment

Hello,

I had my second visit with the midwife today. All is well, except my uterus is incredibly retroverted (meaning backwards) and flat as a pancake. That means that we couldn't hear the heartbeat again with the doppler and I had to get another ultrasound. This time the baby looks much more normal, you can see the legs, feet and hands and there is a distinct profile of the face. They are still unable to determine the sex, but will be able to in the next five or six weeks. For some reason, most people think it's a girl. I have no premonitions. I am also evidently not gaining enough weight, so I guess I am going to go have a milk shake now.

Take Care,

Sarah
