20 weeks scan - what to expect ?

Question

2 weeks until my 20 week ultrasound appointment.
What can I expect and how did your appointments go?
They told me it’s 1-hour long. All my other ones were about 15 mins. Thanks! 🥰

Answer

Mine took 2.5 hours, baby boy didn’t want to move so it took a while to get everything. They will look at literally everything, in very great detail. Blood flow to body parts, all fingers on the hands and toes on the feet, all 4 chambers of the heart and to make sure the blood flow in the heart is functioning properly, they will measure head shape and make sure the spine is fused. It’s pretty awesome to look at if you know what they are looking at. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. They had to do both ultrasounds (vaginal and abdominal) for me to check my cervix length.

Answer

That’s weird.. usually they don’t go over than 45-60 min
But if you don’t know gender, they’ll tell you. 
They check the heart, toes& fingers, femur (growth)their weight, brain and neck and spine.. kidneys etc 
Literally everything, just gets exhausting and when you can’t breath tell them so they can allow you to lay on your side, it does help.
