Second Scan at 8 weeks 3 days after worrying first scan- what do everybody else's scans look like?

I've Just had my second scan today after a miscarriage in February this year. I had my first scan 2 weeks ago at 6 weeks 3 days but only a yolk sac was seen and the radiographer was concerned she should have seen more.
Today at 8 weeks 3 days a baby could be seen aswell as a heartbeat. Although she dated me at 7 weeks but said this could change.
I've never been so happy to be told this pregnancy is viable!
What do everybody's else scans look like at this stage? My picture looks more like a blob than a baby ;)

Mine was external hence why it wasn't too clear. I should have had an internal I expect x

It can impact the quality of the scan! She also added she wishes people were asked to empty there bowels before a scan!! Was yours an internal?

Yes she did an external and wasn't happy with the quality so did an internal and got much better images once she used a special cushion and tilted back the bed!! She told me there's so many factors to a good image - scan equipment the sonographer themselves, and she said if your gassy or too full
