Detailed Scan

[Lovevivi]

Hello all mummies to be, I have just did my detailed scan yesterday, baby isn't cooperative. When the sonographer start scanning, the baby sleep so deeply and makes the scanning a little tough. The sonographer then shake my tummy vigorously, but baby still did not wake up. I told the sonographer should I go n take a walk and she told me it is not necessary.

She then asked me to turn to my left n right to scan for other parts of the baby in view that baby is sleeping and not moving she has put pressure to which I felt very uncomfortable and pain.

Without any choices, she agree to let me go and take a 15mins walk and take something sweet. Surprisingly, after drinking a cup of Milo baby is awake! And we manage to complete the scan. however, I still feel the ache from yesterday scan. Is this normal that sonographer shake your tummy so hardly to wake the baby up and put on so much pressure for the scan? I am worry if this might hurt the baby. Hope to have some advise over here. Much appreciated.

I just had my detailed scan last week, and everything looked good.
However technically from the report, it said my baby girl is about 291 gm, and in the 20th percentile for all measurements combined.
My two boys were around 95th percentile, when I was in my 5th month.
I am getting abit worried, my gynae say perhaps my girl is just small and tiny in size.
Cause all the parameters are generally 20-30th percentile.
No idea whether is it I am not eating enough or what...

I had my scan last wk too. I forgot the exact weight for mine. i think either 280 or 300 only and mine is boy. And def in the lower percentile. But gynae said still ok cos above the lower percentile though lower than the av. Maybe cos I'm small size and also didn't put on much weight. Gynae assured not to worry cos everything looks gd.

Let's jiayou! We still hv few mths to fatten him or her up!
