Couldn't visualize heart or hands at 20 week ultrasound

Assuming this is normal? Has this happened to other folks? Fwiw - baby was in breech position.

I had to go for a fetal echo because they couldn't get a clear shot of the heart at my 20 week u/s. Everything looked great, she's perfect. Did they ask you to come back or refer you out somewhere with stronger equipment?

What did they tell you? Are you going back?

Super normal. They had trouble getting the full visuals they needed on the heart for mine too - we almost had to come back, but then he moved.

With my first, there was some stuff they couldn't see well (don't remember what, now) and I actually had to come back. It happens.

Normal. I had to wiggle and shimmy to try to get one of mine to move but no luck. Went back a week later and he was in a better position and they got what they needed.

It isn’t a sign of a problem - they just couldn’t see what they needed to.

They said to come back in 2 weeks
