should I be worried?? (20 week scan)

Question

So we went to the 20 week scan yesterday, the lady said the skull, brain, spine,stomach, bladder, kidneys arms and legs were all normal appearance however she couldn't get a good view of the lips (for cleft lip) the heart chambers even though we saw the heart beating away and the feet at the scan she couldn't see. She said it was due to baby's position but he was moving a lot. I have to go back in two weeks, I'm so so scared in case there is something wrong with the baby. Is this normal to go back in a couple of weeks?!

Answer

The heart was my babies most difficult,  and her hand.... because  she just kept bouncing  around.  Took about an hour  to finally  get all the  measurements.... but  My belly was sore afterwards

Answer

I just had mine yesterday and I don't think I have to go back, but it took our tech a while to get what she needed of the heart chambers. He kept putting his little hand over where she needed to be to get a clear view. She just kept poking and prodding before she was comfortable with letting us leave. I wouldn't worry too much! Baby was just being uncooperative!

Answer

I had mine yesterday and have to go back to see the chambers of the heart. My baby wasn't cooperating and she couldn't see his chambers. We saw his heart beating, but we will go back in a month. She wanted him to be over a pound and he was 11 oz. She said she wasn't concerned, just wanted a better shot. Plus we get to see them again :)

Answer

They saw something with the placenta at my 20 week scan, so they will be doing more scans now. It's normal, but still can't help but worry. I've got about 2 weeks before my next appointment

Answer

I am so glad I found this. We had our anatomy scan Friday and was told we need to come back in four weeks for a repeat scan because they couldn't get a good view of her heart due to the position she was in. Now I've just been freaking out thinking something is wrong with her heart. But I guess it seems pretty normal with some of you ladies also having to go back to do position of the baby the the tech not getting what they needed.

Answer

The heart was a tough one for us too! Baby was moving and it took awhile to get the pictures because there are quite a few they need to get and sometimes it's even too soon! I wouldn't worry :)

Answer

I had to go back 7 days later. It is just so you get a new Appt. Time as they reserve a certain amount per US and can't try to reposition baby for too long otherwise it could take all day. Don't worry too much. They just like to get thorough pictures for the 20 week scan. :)

Answer

The same thing happened to me. I go back in 2 weeks and I'm terrified, I don't even want to go.
