Well the little peanut didn't really cooperate today! The baby first turned away from us so they told me to walk around for 20 min then come back. So the second time, baby peanut was turned laying on its back but he kept turning his face away from us. To measure, they needed a clear profile picture. The ultrasound tech kept trying to aggravate the baby to make it move; it only resulted in a few hick-ups! The 3-D ultrasound to the left is the best picture; however, the shadow of the placenta blocked the left side. Since we had to wait hoping the baby would move, we did get to see some very detailed shots of the arms, hands, legs and feet. Based on the measurements they did get, the doctor said everything looked very normal. Of course, they never give you 100% certainty in Korea; so our doctor says it's only 60% accurate. I don't anticipate there will be any problems since Greg and I are both young. Of course they will continue to follow up in other appointments. We got to see all the peanuts details, the legs, feet, hands and a good strong heartbeat of 160 bpm. Everything looks great so far! My next appointment will be in May but I don't think I'll get another ultrasound until I'm about 20 weeks.
In this picture to the left, the baby is looking at us. One arm is blocking his/her face and you can slightly see the other one up by its head on the other side.
