i go for my 20 week ultrasound appointment. i am supposed to have a full bladder. its 20 minutes past my appointment time and i cant hold it anymore. i have to pee.
of course, as soon as i finish they are ready for me and irritated that i emptied my bladder. well, dont keep a pregnant woman waiting with a full bladder.
they get to the appointment business and all is quiet. i can only assume they are taking pictures, doing their thing. so much time goes by and she says she cant get the pictures because the baby is moving. well maybe if you held the device still long enough you could get a decent picture. she was moving the damn thing all over my belly. she said the baby's face was covered...eventually i learned that at first she was facing the placenta....later she had her arms in front of her face. either way, thats no reason to move the machine around so much and to take shitty pictures.
after what seems like 5 hours, she takes the images to the dr, lets david in the room, and the two of us sit for another long period of time before the tech comes back in the room. she begins showing us the baby while we wait for the dr during which time she makes dumb comments like, 'theres one foot, theres the other, they are together." well i sure hope so!
finally the dr comes in and he cant/wont tell us anything about the baby. we got a half-ass answer that she is fine from what he saw and they legally cannot tell us the gender......what the fuck is this appointment for?!
the tech claimed she had better pictures that what she could show us real-time and gave us a cd. we get home, there is only 6 images on the cd and none of them are what she said they were. and to top it all off, they look like shit. you cant really tell what any of it really is. i am so beyond annoyed.
i spent 2 hours on base to learn nothing about my baby and not get any decent pictures. the real time wasn't bad. it would have been better if the tech would have held still!
anyway, heres the pictures and video clip. i will end up paying a place to show me something decent.
