24 week ultrasound and the little boy’s looking just great!

Wonderful news! I have two young kids and healthy was all that mattered. Super congrats. Will look forward to the new bundle coming and the news to come leading up to this. Be sure to take care of mom...good protein, supplements and be sure to get Omega 3s as this will help with the baby's brain. All the best! Thanks for sharing. Your health...my passion! Hugs, Cheryl

awww- I'm glad you got to see little Tarzan again. I loved having U/S done. It's like peeking into their little world. I wish they'd had 3-D U/S when I was pregnant. I would have definitely done that just for the photos!
The dizziness and nausea while lying flat is caused by the pressure of the heavy uterus pressing onto your vena-cava and aorta (the large vessels that run down behind your abdominal organs) That pressure can slow the blood flow to your brain and make you feel terrible. Usually, the U/S techs use a small wedge-shaped pillow under one side of your body to prevent this from happening. They should know better! If you go next time, ask for a little pillow and shove it under your side to tilt you a little bit.

So great that he was cooperative. My girls aren't and Adia wasn't either. We have an ultrasound next week to check hearts too because they weren't in good positions. Can't wait to see how much they've grown. I'm dreading laying on my back. It's even worse if they tip you upside down. Blech. If I lay down, I feel like I can't breathe for a couple minutes. It sucks.

Hope he moves head down in the coming weeks. Baby A's still breech too and it's adding extra worry to my life. Baby B's transverse.. or at least I think so. Sometimes it's tough to tell who's kicking me to death.

That happened to me at an US too. The US tech explained all of the weight from the baby and laying flat is what did it. I went completely white, almost passed out and almost threw up at the same time. It was funny though when I told the US tech that I felt like I was going to throw up. She jumped up real fast. Both my husband and her told me I looked pretty horrible. After laying on my side for a few minutes I felt much better. I'm happy you had such a great US.

Congrats on a great ultrasound! It's the best feeling in the world, knowing they're safe and sound in their environment. And don't worry about him being breeched, most babies don't flip around til you're like 34-36 weeks. Or you could get lucky and he'll flip around very early and cause you some pain, because his head will take up all the room in your pelvis and you can totally feel the pressure. The joys of pregnancy. Good luck!

Its great that you can share such private and such emotional moments with the whole world. Just imagine, in a few years from now, your kid will be able to read this and one day he will know how much his parents love him.

I remember my ultrasound during my 5th month of pregnancy. Thats when we first got a glimpse of our baby. Here in India, ultrasounds are not done every month - They do one to confirm the pregnancy (which is usually at 6-8 weeks), and then only at the 5th month, unless the doctor feels the need to have an ultrasound done. So i was lying down and the doc kept referring to the baby as "it" as in, "it's moving it's hand" !! And i didnt like that. Disclosing the sex of the baby is illegal here in India, but still, that's my baby she was talking about.

Anyway, what i really wanted to tell you, is that when i first saw my baby on ultrasound, i actually got scared, coz i saw her face, and she looked like a little alien!! :)) Big hollow eyes and nose! It took a little getting used to, but then i saw her waving her hand, and i felt an instant connection to her.

Well, all the best to you. Sorry, this comment has become much longer than i intended.

Congrats! Glad to hear your papaya was cooperative and lookin' good. My son was never cooperative for sonograms. Sorry to hear about your being sickly lately too...that will pass soon and I bet you don't get sick at all in the third.
