Scan tomorrow!!.......,

And I'm really excited but also very scared!



For those of u already had there's, how long are u there? Do u have to take a urine sample with u?

Do they tell u straight away baby is all ok, or does it take a while??



I am so scared they are going to tell me there us something wring or there is no baby or something!! I know it's Williams I'm sure it will b ok, but I can't help worrying!!

    Good luck at your scan...it's very nerve wracking isn't it!?



    I had mine on Monday and was in about 20 min including paperwork and booking next scan.



    I didn't have to take a urine sample but you do need a full bladder for scan!



    Our sonographer told us straight away that baby was there and showed up heartbeat before doing the measurements and checking everything image



    I hope today doesn't drag on for you!!

    I didn't have to do a urine sample, but as I was having the combined test for Down's, they do take a blood test after the scan to go with the nuchal thickness measurements they take during the scan.



    They told me then that everything looks fine, but I have to wait for the combined test results (you get a phone call within 5 days if you're high risk and a letter within 2 weeks if you're low risk in this area).

    Hi I had my scan on Monday, im up in Scotland so not sure if we are a bit different but I will tell you what happened at mine.



    I had been told to take a urine sample but completely forgot, oops. Went in for my scan about 2ish and the baby showed up right away, the sonographer showed us the heartbeat and moved the scanner thing around so we could see all the arms and legs. I then had to go out and pee to see if it would move baby into the right position for the head measurement. this never worked so had to wait a bout ten minutes and fill my bladder again. It worked the next time. I was in for about an hour for the scan.



    I then had to go for my booking in appointment which took about 40 mins. Was a bit longer as I had to talk to the doctor about the injections I have to take to stop blood clots.



    My scan was great and I was surprised at how clear it was.



    My tip is make sure you eat something, I could only manage half a roll and by the time I was getting blood taken I was starving.



    Good Luck for tomorrow
