I thought I would write about my experience of both internal and external ultrasound As I went through fertility treatment and had treatment called IUI which involved having washed sperm inserted at the time of ovulation. I had to have internal scans to examine look at my ovaries to determine when ovulation was going to ...  Read the complete review

I remember the joy and elation myself and my husband felt when we discovered we were going to be parents for the first time. No words can describe the feeling of knowing you have a tiny little life growing inside you and that in 9 months you will be holding a gorgeous tiny baby and be a Mummy & Daddy!! I discovered I was pregnant ...  Read the complete review

I have thus far had 3 ultrasounds, 2 NHS and 1 private, and have also managed to get 3 completely different experiences. My first ultrasound was a routine 20 week scan (anomally scan) at the local hospital. I had read various things on this scan and was looking forward to my first opportunity to see the baby. Unfortunately it turned out to be a ...  Read the complete review

After having 3 children i have a fair bit of experience in the scanning department, from the fears of getting on the table and the scanner suddenly saying 'i'm sorry miss x there is no baby, you must of imagined it' (i had nightmares with all 3 kids) to 'please sit down mr x there are 3 babies in there'. I am glad to say this has happened on no ...  Read the complete review

I have one child already and I am currently pregnant again. So I know a little bit about the Ultrasound scanning process. At about 12 weeks of pregnancy ( sometimes earlier if there are complications or a history of twins ). When you go for your first scan you should have the sonographer ( the person doing the scan ) explain to you what they are ...  Read the complete review

When I found out I was pregnant the first thing that enters my mind is 'I can't wait to see it'. With my first son I had to wait until twenty weeks before I got to see him but by the time I got around to my second they were offering a 'Dating scan' at twelve weeks. Both experiences are totally different. The date for my twelve week scan ...  Read the complete review

During my pregnancy I had 12 scans. My first was at 8 weeks due to going to A&E with abdominal pains, my next was my usual dating scan at 14 weeks, my 20 week scan, I had a 4D scan at 26 weeks and had togo back for another the week after, we found out our daughter was measuring small and I didn't have a lot of fluid so from 30 weeks ...  Read the complete review

Ultrasound scanning is a great piece of technology and has come far within the last 10 years or so. The detail they can go into on an untrasound is amazing and helps both mother and baby. I was having twins so i frequently had scans which were usually every fortnight. It was important i had so many scans to make sure my girls didnt develop twin to ...  Read the complete review

Without a doubt ultrasounds are an incredible piece of technology when you are pregnant. I have mixed experiences. My first ultrasound was to confirm that a pregnancy had failed, which was awfully traumatic but that confirmation was what we needed in order to accept it and to grieve. Without it, we would have gone on waiting and ...  Read the complete review

Over the course of the last 5 years or so I have had cause to have four ultrasound scans. Two pregnancies and two scans for each. Both were amazing experiences that I would not have missed for the world. Generally, every pregnant woman will receive two ultrasound scans during the gestation period (at least in my area of the world ...  Read the complete review

I have only had three ultrasound scans. Two were with my now three month old daughter and the other was in an earlier pregnancy that turned out to be a blighted ovum (i.e. there was no baby in the pregnancy sac). The first scan I went into without any knowledge of what it might show and was ignorant in the fact that I was pregnant and that was ...  Read the complete review

When I actually got to the hospital to have my first scan, it occured to me that I had no idea what was going to happen. I've been doing a lot of reading and swotting up, but most information says something to the effect of 'and then you have an ultrasound scan which should show you a few things." In light of this, I thought I would ...  Read the complete review

Our third pregnancy didn't go as planned. I delivered a small for term stillborn baby boy, even though I had attended my 20 week scan and baby was growing nicely. If we had have been given a later scan, the growth defect may have been detected. We were told subsequent pregnancies would be monitored with fetal growth scans. We now have an ...  Read the complete review

Isnt it wonderful how things have changed in such a short time. Oh how I envy pregnant Mums today able to have an ultra sound and to have a picture of their unborn baby. When I was expecting my first (no this isnt a here we go..) there was no such thing. By the time I had my third in the mid 80s the scan had just come to ...  Read the complete review

WHEN I HAD MY FIRST ULTRASOUND SCAN I REMEMBER DREDDING THAT IT SHOW A PROBLEM WITH MY BABY IF THERE WAS A BABY THERE AFTER ALL, LUCKILY MOST SCANS SHOW THAT THE CHILD IS PERFECTLY NORMAL SO THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I WAS UNLUCKY WITH MY SCAN AS MY BABY WAS LYING WITH MOST OF IT IN MY WOMB SO I COULD NOT MAKE MUCH OUT EXCEPT THAT IT WAS A ...  Read the complete review

.... there is something wrong with your unborn baby. Although I had an eight-year-old boy, we always knew that we wanted another child. Unfortunately it took rather longer than anticipated for this to happen, and after previous disappointments month after month, I had resigned myself to the next disappointment before I had actually had ...  Read the complete review

When you're expecting a baby, probably one of the highlights of your pregnancy is the scan. Now, depending on where in the country you live depends on how many scans you routinely receive. Down here in Devon we get a dating scan at 12wks and an anomoly scan at 20wks. The dating scan is just that, it confirms the dates of your ...  Read the complete review

After having to go for my twenty week scan alone as my husband is in the army and was away on exercise I firstly was very nervous and very excited. The nurse soon put me at ease then continued with the scan she measured his littlel head, heart and then kidneys once finished she took me back to his kidneys and explained that there was a problem ...  Read the complete review
