Had my anatomy scan? Does this look normal?!

Question

I’m getting worried I had my anatomy scan a week ago and I have to go back in because apparently baby didn’t move and the tech needed to measure more stuff. I thought it was odd because we did indeed get the gender. Does baby look okay? Is that unusual to go back again? I thought the feet looked odd because it looks like a ball at the end. 
When they scanned my baby’s private parts, it looked like the second photo- with no apparent toes visible just a blob. When do toes develop fully? Does that look normal? I should be 21 weeks when I go back for my 2nd anatomy scan. Idk I’m just so nervous for my baby I love her so much I just want to make sure everything is okay.
TIA!
Edit: thank you so much everyone! I love this community. I go in tomorrow so I hope all is fine but everyone’s comments are so helpeful! ☺️💛

Answer

I have to go back as well but my baby was moving way to much we couldn't get certain photos of her heart.

Answer

I have to go back aswell, had my scan last friday (january 4th) and I have to go back bc somehow there was a shadow over the chest and she couldn’t measure the heart. But we got to know the gender she said 99% a boy. Just got one picture this time but she said she is trying to get better pics this week. So its not unusual to have to go back.

Answer

For my 20 week scan I didn’t have to go back at another date but I did have to go have a sugary drink and for a walk for 10-15 minutes because baby was upside down and it was casting a shadow over some parts she needed to measure. In the end she did move so we were able to get all the measurements that same day. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about, and if there was something they were worried about I feel they would’ve told you?

Answer

I had to go back after a week after my 20 week scan (so I was 21 weeks the second time around) as baby wasn't lying in a good position to meaaure/look at the spine. Even after going for a walk,eating chocolate etc to get baby to move. I went back and everything was fine, they were happy with everything.
It's not unusual to have to go for a second scan if baby isn't playing ball and not moving properly! I had to go back for a second 12 week scan for the same reason.

Answer

Depending on the angle and pressure of the US wand you're seeing different levels and parts of baby's limbs so definitely don't read into how much or how little of your baby's body you can see. Most ultrasound shots are not clear and whole. Good luck!!

Answer

These are from our 20 week scan, we could see all her little toes and fingers.
The ultrasound tech did say since she was moving so much and didn’t get the best images for some things our doctor may ask us to come back in again, that it’s not abnormal. She did say everything looks great to her though.
Just take a breath momma! Try not to worry, they probably just need better images.

Answer

I have to go back as well. Only because they couldn’t get certain measurements due to my boy not changing positions and being stubborn like his dad 😂 there shouldn’t be anything to worry about. I’m 22 weeks and when you go in just ask them about their feet. My ultrasound tech took a picture of just his feet for me because sometimes certain areas look like a blob.

Answer

I have to go back again as well because baby wouldn't move and let them see her other side and they couldn't get a good photo of her for me. Don't worry, it's just routine so that they can get all the necessary measurements.
