Extra Ultrasounds at 23 Weeks and 27 Weeks

I had two more ultrasounds after the sex determination one, done during the 19th Week.  The reason for the 23 Weeks ultrasound was because they were unable to get the desired visuals of his mouth and his heart. He was already showing his little personality during the 19 Weeks ultrasound by refusing to move his arm, which was draped over his face or turn his body in the right direction. So we got to have another ultrasound! During the 23 Weeks ultrasound they were able to get a visual on his mouth, the 4-chamber heart visual on the other hand was not captured.

So my doctor said in a later appointment that if I wanted to, I could have another ultrasound. Well who would turndown another chance to see their unborn child...certainly not me! That is why we had a 27 Weeks ultrasound. Which was a success! The 4-chamber heart visual was captured and looked fabulous. It was a bit tricky because he once again wouldn't rotate the right direction and they had to work around the now calcifying ribcage bones.
