    Yeah, creepy, right?

    When we were getting the ultrasound done, you could see the little hand flexing open and closed on screen...like s/he was waving at us. :eek:

    how can a baby smell? They don't inhale.

    Actually, they do inhale. They breathe amniotic fluid. It helps develop their lungs so when they are born they learn to breathe more easily. :)

    Oh. I thought they got all their oxygen through the umbelical cord.

    Still, Amniotic fluid? I bet that smells disgusting.

    They do get their oxygen through the umbilical cord. The inhaling of amniotic fluid is just practice. They don't do it constantly. It's sort of like warm-ups for a really big marathon. They can take breaks from inhaling without it adversely affecting their oxygen intake.

    And amniotic fluid smells sweet, from what some mommas on this forum have said. :)

    that ultrasound is great!!


    Meagen (LiFe) got hers done on the 8th and shes only 5 months along. We were able to tell its a boy. we got lucky cuz at first he wouldnt move for us til she jiggled the ultrasound thingy.

    I wish i could post pics, but i dont have a scanner.

    That's actually the 20 week ultrasound...so this is 12 weeks old. But with everything going on, the last thing on our minds has been scanning this into our computer...

    Our next ultrasound is in 4 weeks. Its going to be mainly to see what position the baby is in (hopefully head down), but we'll also try to sneak a peak at the genital area...if the baby will allow it.
