Candy had her 20 week scan yesterday. And, to celebrate, I bought a scanner. You know. As you do... It's some what easier to put the picture and the info on it up here, although I will do it on the Sprog page at some point...

It went reasonably well - all the bits are there. There were a couple of problems - it was in an awkward position so the nurse couldn't see it's heart properly (although she saw enough to be able to say that it was healthy, she couldn't get all the measurements she needed or something) so Candy has to go back in a couple of weeks to re-check it. Also, the placenta is apparently a bit low - it's not covering the birth channel but it is a bit close to it. Again, the nurse said that there was a 95% chance that it would be okay, but it also means there is a slight chance that Candy may need a caesarean. In the picture - which is a bit harder to make out than the first one, I think, the head is top left in profile and the feet are top right. The solid white stripe down the middle (running left to right) is the spine.
