Fetal echo

I had my fetal echo appointment yesterday. It was at the hospital and my hubby accompanied me for the appointment. It was basically an ultrasound kind of thing. I did not understand what they were trying to see. But Looked like my uterus has gone upto my chest. I wonder whether my stomach is :). Both the babies are on the right side though. One is up and one is down. Baby B (the up baby) was keeping on moving and the ultrasound technician was having a hard time with her. They were kicking each other yesterday. Usually their favorite position is head to head - as if they are talking to each other. It took about an hour to complete the whole procedure. Then the doctor came in and told us everything looks fine. There might be small defects the test might have missed but nothing major. I do not need any repeat appointments. That was a big relief.

It was sad to sit in the waiting room though. They were so many kids coming in for the tests.

I am feeling the babies move quite a lot nowadays. Sadly for my husband, whenever he tries to feel them move, they stop. I will be 22 weeks tomorrow and now I am starting to show.
