Had my A/S today and got to see baby boy again. He was super active and wiggly, so it took the tech awhile to get all the measurements she needed, but ultimately she got them all. Dr said everything looks great and baby is measuring right at the 50th percentile.
W, We had our scan with a tech and my OB office called with the results that same afternoon. The tech didn't say anything except what she was looking for. And for me to keeping turning from side to side to get baby to move into better positions.
Hi! I had my A/S on Saturday and it went pretty well. The tech got all of the pictures and measurements she needed, and everything looked to be developing normally. She checked out the baby's nether regions and confirmed that all was well, but didn't tell us what we are having so we're still safely Team Green.
The only disappointing thing was that LO stubbornly refused to turn on his/her side so we could get a good profile shot. We have some cute snaps of arms and feet, but all of the head images are the creepy straight-on alien ones. That said, I think this "Please, no paparazzi!" pic of baby using a hand to cover his/her face is pretty funny.
ETA: Aha! Finally got it to display! Camera shy kiddo:
Annnd it turns out that my OB's office requires one more measurement that the ultrasound tech at the radiology place did not know to get. So, I get an A/S re-do on Tuesday! Hopefully this time the kiddo cooperates and we can see a good profile.
Update 2.1: I had my repeat A/S today, and I'm actually really glad we did it.
The really good news: my squish is perfect! We got awesome views of the heart pumping (a clear look at all four chambers, even!) and profiles of head and limbs - I had even said when the tech came to get me in the waiting room that LO was kicking me in the belly button, and the scan showed I was totally right. Feet pointed straight out!
The less good news: I have placenta previa! Somehow this was missed completely at my previous scan. Oops. The placenta is pretty much sitting squarely on top of my cervix, and we have to hope that it moves or I'll definitely wind up with a scheduled c-section. So far I've not had even a hint of spotting, so this took me by surprise. I'm feeling pretty calm about the whole thing but obviously it's not ideal.

achromia GLAD I came in here! Congrats on a great scan and them catching the placenta previa now! I hope that it moves in time for your babies arrival..but then again C-section just means you have a set date and there is no idle waiting!
achromia, yay for a great repeat scan. Glad they caught the placenta previa this time. And as WineNChocolate said, at least you will have the birth scheduled if it doesn't move.
You're right that it would not be the end of the world if I wound up with a scheduled c/s. Ultimately I will be happy as long as we wind up going home with a beautiful baby.

cute, fikafairy67! I wish they would do a 3D one for me.
AFM, I had an ultrasound (growth scan) yesterday and an OB appointment. Unfortunately the tech took really lame pictures, so I don't have anything good to share. Good news is the babies look perfect, 1 lb 8 oz each. Literally no discordance. And I've gained 22 lbs, but the doc said for twins it's fine. I feel like a whale.
And for my fellow cankle sufferers - doc recommends putting your feet up and wearing compression socks/stockings. There's no miracle sure. boohoo.
