My ???

Question

On Glow I see a lot of women who actually don't get to see their little one at Doctor visits that often so I guess I shouldn't complain but tomorrow I'll be 16 weeks and I've seen my baby and received copies from the ultrasound maybe 4 times already so I was used to always getting to see him/her and today I went in for an appointment hoping I would get to see him/her but they just used the Doppler to let me hear the heartbeat and I won't have another appointment until my Anatomy scan on January 5th so the next time I see my little baby they'll be almost 7 weeks older than they were the last time I seen them and I'm excited to see how much growth my baby will have in that period of time but I miss looking at him/her already ? this is gonna be a long journey even after their born I'm so attached already lol maybe they'll start kicking soon ? sorry guys sometimes I think it's the hormones ?

Answer

In the UK, if it's a low risk straightforward pregnancy, we only have two appointments where we can see our babies, at 12 and 20 weeks. But that said we obviously could pay to go private to see the little one which would about £100 a go. Also we don't get to hear the heartbeat at appointments until after around 24 weeks. ?
It's frustrating that suddenly you haven't had a chance to see your little one but if your doctors happy all is well in there you needn't worry, you're doing your job keeping him or her warm
And safe :) xx

Answer

The only time I got to see my baby was at the anatomy scan. I cherished that moment because that's the only time I will see him until he is born which can be any day now. I only get the fetal Doppler at all my appointments. I guess it's just standard at where I go.

Answer

I had my first ultrasound with my twins at 20 weeks, than about six or so afterwards. With my youngest child I had three. One at 20, 35, and 36 weeks ( because he was breech). This time I'm 10 weeks and have had two ultrasounds. One was too early, second was a dating ultrasound.
