They couldn't get the views or measurements the needed of his face and the front side of his body so we went back a week later.</p> <p>ETA: 3D pic of his face from second scan because I remembered it was on my phone :silly: </p> [attach=4156/15/nmvgvg.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2145222 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 15:45:11 +0000 GrapeCrush 2145222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD I had to go back. Mainly it was for a growth check(they had my due date wrong and were convinced i was having a ginormous child), but they were having trouble getting a good picture of her heart, so they decided to wait till the next scan to try again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2145163 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:57:03 +0000 Purpledaisy 2145163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually had to get three anatomy scans done. They just had trouble getting clear pictures of everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2145146 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:47:15 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2145146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes-the tech discovered my son had SUA (Single Umbilical Artery) at my anatomy scan, so we went to the hospital and had another full anatomy scan with the better equipment and a perinatologist. Luckily everything was fine, but it was nerve-wracking to go through. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2145129 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:31:40 +0000 Corduroy 2145129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to go back three hours later to get a picture of LO's ankle. Because it was the same day as the rest of the scan they didn't need to re-do the rest of it. I had my regular OB appointment in between the two scans and she said she couldn't care less about the ankle but it was the radiology department policy to have a complete set of pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2145043 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 13:45:10 +0000 NurseDMB 2145043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I had to go back with my DS because they couldn't get good enough measurements of the heart because of his position </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2145032 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 13:40:56 +0000 mrswin 2145032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I had to go back because they couldn't get all the pictures they wanted of her heart and she would not turn over so that the tech could get the pictures she needed even after walking around, drinking water, etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2145011 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 13:27:44 +0000 mfa_lady 2145011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I had to go back at 24 weeks because DD was so balled up they couldn't see her heart well enough. They kept using the buzzer to try and get her to wake up and stretch, but it just pissed her off. She'd kick me, then ball right back up. Every. Single. Time. (Turns out, it was a sign of things to come...even now at 3.5 months, girlfriend always knows exactly what she wants and always does it her way. :silly: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2145007 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 13:24:06 +0000 pinkb 2145007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes with DS they said they needed better pics of his spine and brain, I think. Really freaked me out, but all was good, the Dr said the images just were just not up to her standard. I think I Had to wait 4 or 5 weeks to get in the second time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144973 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:52:46 +0000 cranberry 2144973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, with DD they couldn't get a good picture of her spine, so they had me come back in 4 weeks later for another scan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144963 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:47:46 +0000 FaithFertility 2144963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to go back to get a clear picture of the left side of her heart </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144959 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:44:41 +0000 californiadreams 2144959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes had to go back because he was not facing the right way to get all the images they needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144932 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:22:38 +0000 Smurfette 2144932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did have to go back. Totally forgot. They couldn't get a good measurement of her brain (I think). Went back in 4 weeks, my next appointment, and everything was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144906 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:00:24 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2144906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had Cap'n'Crunch for breakfast before my NT scan and the baby wouldn't sit still long enough to get the measurements so we had to go back for another u/s after meeting with the midwife. We had to have a second anatomy scan because they couldn't get a clear image of the heart the first time. I got a little worried about that but everything was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144865 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 11:27:19 +0000 Torchwood 2144865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had to go to MFM with R to confirm hydrocephalus. They got all the shots they needed though. This time they weren't able to get all the shots of her heart they needed (she was too wiggly!), but they're doing ultrasounds every 4 weeks anyway to monitor the SCH, so I didn't have to go back specifically to finish up. They just got them at the next ultrasound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144743 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 10:21:53 +0000 avivoca 2144743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to go to MFM for choroid plexus cysts and to get better shots of her heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144712 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 10:08:09 +0000 namaste 2144712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. She had her legs over her head lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144696 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:59:33 +0000 bpcmarj 2144696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: My issue was that she was nearly dormant. She just would not move around and no amount of pushing or jumping would help. But, like her mother, she loves chocolate and it is still a great motivator for her! ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144690 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:58:11 +0000 YouGotMe 2144690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When mine was finished the tech said I'd likely have to go back but my OB decided not to. They couldn't get a clear picture of her spine or tell the sex. I didn't care about knowing the sex though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144670 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:48:34 +0000 Andrea 2144670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to go back with both kids because they found choroid plexus cysts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144657 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:40:51 +0000 autumnlove 2144657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: I am going to try that. My LOs have some leftover Easter candy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144654 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:40:15 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2144654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to go back with L. She was too wiggly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144648 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:37:33 +0000 ValentineMommy 2144648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With both kids, yup. Neither one of them wanted to cooperate and get into the position they needed to see clearly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144639 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:34:05 +0000 bpcmarj 2144639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With P, yes. She was notoriously uncooperative during ultrasounds. They couldn't get the measurements of her kidneys if I remember correctly. And they couldn't find the sex either, but wouldn't have redone it for that reason. The next time I went I drank an OJ before I went in and they gave me chocolate when I got in the room (a trick I would have to use for every ultrasound and NST...and I had a lot since I went to 42 weeks!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144589 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:11:13 +0000 miramira 2144589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have to go back, but I was in there for a looong time, having to lie in different positions, cough, etc in order to get a good view. I think it was for this scan that the tech sent me away to go empty my bladder and jump up and down in order to get the baby into a more cooperative position, hehe :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144588 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:10:13 +0000 Anagram 2144588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but my OB sucks so much and is so busy that I can't get back in for 3 freaking weeks! I'm so frustrated. I'm going to be 25 weeks by the time my "18-20 week" anatomy scan is finally finished.</p> <p>grrr </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144581 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:07:35 +0000 autumnlove 2144581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: Ya, the tech adjusted the bed in different angles and made me walk a little but my baby didn't want to cooperate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144574 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:05:55 +0000 tinyperson 2144574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I had to go back for another round because she was moving too much to get good images of one area. They tried everything to get her to move the way they wanted her to, but no dice. I didn't have to drink 32 ounces though! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-redo-your-anatomy-scan#post-2144568 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:04:29 +0000 autumnlove 2144568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my anatomy scan yesterday and my OB's office called afterwards to tell me that some images were not good enough. I have to go back tonight and drink another 32 ounces of water. </p>
