Tomorrow is my Level II! What to expect?

I can't believe it's time for my Level II...I remember reading about all of yours for so long and thinking that mine would never arrive!

What will they show us at the Level II? We get to see the baby for a long time, right? What else should we expect?

We are sooo excited to see our little Madison again

It will take about 45 min to an hour...so mostly time...and some/lots of cold gel.

You will see some images that are a bit odd...when they do the frontal of the skull and zoom in on bones, it's a tad creepy to see the bone structures like that after you've spent weeks convinving yourself your baby has skin!


Enjoy....it will seem like a movie of your baby which is cool because you get to see their little personality is already developing.

have fun, it is by far the BEST ultrasound

Re: Tomorrow is my Level II! What to expect?

We were in there for a long time (maybe 45 minutes?). We got to see the hands, feet, brain, all the organs, the chambers of the heart, etc. They take measurements of each thing also. It was so amazing to see! If you want to know, they may be able to tell you the sex of the baby, too. They check to make sure the baby has 10 fingers and 10 toes and that everything looks to be working properly.

Have fun!!!

We got to see lots of cool stuff. We saw all the different organs & what we could see of the baby's face. The test took about an hour. The tech measured a whole bunch of stuff, the arm & leg bones, fingers & toes, the eye sockets, the cranium, they measured the brain the heart. We got to see the umbillical cord & they even did a doppler to watch the blood flow in & out of the baby. It was very cool.

We saw the baby "yawn", suck its thumb, and even rub its eyes.

Re: Tomorrow is my Level II! What to expect?

ours took around 45 min. the baby would not move and she couldnt take a look at the umbilical cord, so we got to see out little one for a bit longer... when she went to get the doctor, he finally decided to move and gave us some great shots: sucking his thumb and then when he was fed up with all the poking, he kicked me lol

Re: Tomorrow is my Level II! What to expect?

I had pretty much the same experience as everyone else. About 45 minutes, and the only thing I was upset about what that our tech was a little grumpy and inarticulate. We kept having to ask her to repeat what she was saying.

But we got to see organs, and limbs, and the brain, etc. And that it was a
