Diagnostic Ultrasound today!!!
I get to see my baby girl for the second time today! So excited! And this time we will be assessing how far along I actually am. The current estimate is 21 wks. I know they are checking for birth defects too, and as much as we are hoping everything is great we are happy to accept her as is regardless of whether she is perfect or has some differences. I was born with a heart defect, and worked for a long time with children and adults with physical and mental disabilities, so I know if would be hard but every individual is special and wonderful! Has anyone else felt this way?
This is actually my first official ultrasound. I waited for over a month for an "urgent" ultrasound because I was measuring on the big side, but it never happened. I finally just booked at a private clinic to find out how many I was carrying and gender. The place I went couldn't tell me any more than that.
The later ultrasounds aren't as accurate as the one you would've had early on. They should've given you a date based on your first ultrasound.
