Sitting in the waiting room, surrounded by other mums all staring at the floor, only noise was the buzzing of the water cooler and a few random coughs.. Having my Partner Chris there was such a relief, I had someone to cling on to as I prayed everything was goin to go well.
Person after person were called into the little corridoor where the scanning rooms were, I watched the clock as every second passed by, it felt like I'd been sitting there forever. Finally it was my turn.. I walked into the little scanning room, a man sat at a computer and a women at the scanner. "If you could just lay down over here for me.." She asked, pointing to a bed with paper towl laid across it and as suspected was rather uncomfortable.
"Now this may be a little cold" she said as she squeezed out a dollop of gel on my belly, she then pushed down the scanner across my skin. The TV screen above the bed was blank, plain black.. I squeezed Chris' hand thinking the worst, then suddenly a little white blob appeared.. "And there's your baby" replied the midwife. I can't even describe the feeling I got, all kinds of emotions rushed to the surface, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!!
My little jelly shaped baby was on the screen, wobbling around as the midwife pushed the scanner over my skin. "There's the arms, legs, head, body.." She read out measurements, of what I can't remember now and stated "I'd say, you are about..... 10 weeks, already"
I can't believe I didn't know that! Ten weeks and I didn't have a clue! Unbelieveable!!
"Right, thats it all done now.. Your next scan will be when you're.. 12 weeks, good luck"
