Suboptimal views, 24 weeks pregnant

So I posted the other day about my my second anatomy scan but didn’t get much feedback. Basically only told to stop freaking out. I’m looking for people who have had a similar experience. Not people telling me to stop worrying about my child.

They still have not visualized either kidney.

Also her left brain, and left extremities.

Anyone else deal with a stubborn baby and they eventually find the kidneys?? I’m majorly freaking out. Yes, I understand if the doctor was concerned they would tell me. But I’m still going to freak out. This is my baby..the only thing helping me is that her amniotic fluid was normal.

I’m kinda confused on them not getting optimal views of her left side, according to the tech, she was laying facing up with her left side toward my front.

My first daughter, they could only find one kidney until I was 37 weeks then they finally saw the other one. Which was less scary (but still scary) because at least she had 1 visualized. I’m just scared this time because if she has no kidneys, she will not live.

I know you don’t wanna hear, “don’t worry about it.” But try not to panic before it’s necessary. One of my twins had to have her echo done 3 times because she was not cooperating. And finally they were able to see what they needed and complete it. If her fluid is good, that’s a good sign that her kidneys are doing their job! I know easier said than done, but try not to worry too much, I’m sure everything with your baby is just fine!

As hard as it is try not to panic until you get some definitive answers. All that stress and worrying remeber she can feel it too. Knowing she has amniotic fluid is a very good sign and you just have to focus on that and breathe momma. Your feelings are more than valid and you have every right to worry about your baby no doubt. Just try and take it as easy as possible and one day at a time.
