We waited for over half an hour and nothing had happened, and Hannah&#8217;s bladder was very much making itself known. Eventually, I hunted down a midwife and she saw us first. Annoyingly, after all the bother with getting blood out of Hannah, they had lost\/messed up her bloods and they didn&#8217;t have any results. Hannah was not in a very good mood by this stage, so we got the midwife to skip some of the things they&#8217;d normally do because they&#8217;re not relevant after the end of this week anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we got called into the scan room and it all went a bit fast. There was none of the poking about trying to find the heartbeat I was expecting. The sonographer (is that a word?) plumped the probe straight down and found the baby straight away. The measurements tell us that hannah is (was) 10 weeks and 3 days into her term, 9 days earlier than we thought. It was amazing to see this tiny little thing waving its arms about and hiccupping. I felt a bit cheated because I wanted to just sit and watch it for ages. Too soon, it was all over and we were ejected back into the waiting room to wait for our photos.<\/p>\n<p>All very exciting and now I can&#8217;t wait for the 20 week scan. Of course, there&#8217;s an incredible amount to do before then including moving house and registering with a GP in Devon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wrigley.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/12weekscan-640px.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"image10\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wrigley.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/12weekscan-640px.thumbnail.png?w=665&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The scan\" \/><\/a> Click to enlarge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We finally had our 12 week scan yesterday.
