We had our 20 week ultrasound on October 26th. We chose the earliest appointment so we both could go to work on time. We had to arrive at 7 am - so at 6:30 I had to drink 24 ounces of water. At first it didn't seem so bad - but then when we arrived I had to go! It was so early we were the only people there. Our technician was very nice and did a fantastic job. The first question - Do you want to find out what you are having? We both said no - it was hard to not find out while we were able to see the baby but we both agree that we want to be surprised :) Luckily - after the initial view and a few measurements - she let me go to the bathroom! The ultrasound took the full hour. The baby did not want to show his/her face but we did get one good photo of the majority of the face. The baby was also very active during the ultrasound and we could see the baby moving all around. The heartbeat was 134 beats per minute. She was able to show us a good view of the heart and all 4 chambers. (She said it was the best view of a baby's heart she was able to get in a while) We got to see the baby yawn - I think the baby was not very happy that we were disturbing his/her sleep. The technician was able to get all the measurements she needed and estimated our due date at 3/8/2012 (only one day before the due date the doctor gave us). She said everything was perfect! It is so fascinating to see the baby and we even got to see a 4D view - it was so realistic! After seeing the baby made us both anxious to be able to hold our little one!
Here are some shots from the ultrasound - sorry for the poor quality i took pictures of the images on my cell phone.
here was the baby at 7 weeks:
