At my last scan the technician said baby was in a position where it was hard to see properly. Got me thinking, can the baccha actually hide behind something during a scan? Just curious if this happened to anyone.
Wait, is this really possible? I am 12 weeks pregnant and sometimes my bump looks so small, I feel like the baby is hiding somewhere inside! Has anyone else experienced this during their early scans?
Haha, yes! Sometimes they are just super shy and curl up behind the placenta or turn away from the camera during the scan. My baby literally hid their face during three consecutive ultrasounds!
Yes, in very early scans (like before 6 weeks), the baby or even the heartbeat can sometimes 'hide' because it's too small. Doctors usually suggest waiting for a week or two and doing another scan. Don't worry, it's a very common experience here!
Oh god, during my 7-week scan, the doctor couldn't see the fetal pole clearly and I literally panicked thinking the worst! But they did a transvaginal scan and found the baby tucked away in a corner. It's so scary but actually very common, so please stay calm.
I wish my baby would hide a bit now instead of pushing their feet directly into my ribs! But seriously, early on they are so tiny that they can easily hide behind your pelvic bone. Don't worry, they will pop up clearly in the next scan.
If you do the ultrasound too early, they might not see the embryo clearly and will ask you to repeat the scan in a week. That just means paying for another costly scan! It's better to wait until at least 7-8 weeks so you get a clear result in one go.
