Is my baby different from others?

Question

So below is my "anatomy" scan although baby was curled in a ball and wouldn't reposition, only jumped a little, so we couldn't learn the gender today. Aside from that, Doctor said that the baby weighs about 11 oz., but has still not come out of my pelvis yet. Looking at this, I noticed that I've seen a lot of ultrasounds and I've never seen a baby positioned like mine. Also I never have seen the spine on any other peoples ultrasound. Is this weird? Is there something wrong with my baby??? I'm 20 weeks 1 day

Answer

Its just early. They look like aliens early. Its normal

Answer

I think it's normal, I could see my sons spine in our ultrasound photos as well

Answer

Thank you everyone for commenting, I've been so worried this pregnancy about every little thing because I had a miscarriage a while back, and my boyfriend was told by doctors he would have a hard time having kids due to low sperm count and his smoking and everything. Our baby wasn't planned so I see him or her as a complete miracle, because doctors also told me with my cycles being so out of whack even when I was on the pill I would someday have a hard time conceiving too. I just want a happy healthy baby and hopefully natural birth unless I need epidural. I'll keep everyone updated once I go back in a month for my next scan. Thank you all so much 😊

Answer

I have to have another one done because mine wouldn't move from that spot.

Don't worry everything is just fine with your baby!! Here's a picture of my baby girl and you can see her spine also, she was 24 weeks and 4 days in this ultrasound, I'm 27 weeks tomorrow 👶🏽🎀💖

Answer

I have one where u can see his spine but they sleep the way that most comfy maybe that's the comfy warm spot

Answer

My first anatomy scan my little guy was just like that too, tucked face down with his knees bent and i dont have a printed pic but definitely could see his spine on the screen too! Also they werent worried about the position, it was just annoying that they couldnt see what they needed to like that. I went back a week later and all was fine!

Answer

This was my first DD. I spent an hour jumping around and trying to get her to move out of that position to no avail. She was positioned differently the next time.
