Scan - The ultrasound type

Continuing onwards another integral part of the P journey are the numerous ultrasound scans visits which are scheduled. New technologies, 2D , 3D , with sound , colour and what not. Your test of patience starts here, Iam not sure about other places but for my wife a trip to the scan lab was a half day task. The first time we went , we were stunned by the crowd there, so many expectant mothers waiting their turn to have a peak inside their womb. Well you can just wait , pack some short eats like energy bars and water to drink to tide over cravings and may be take a book to read  or your kindlewith your current ebook while you wait.
It is quite a moment getting to watch the baby form, as you would have read in your biology text books , may be one can take a snapshot on your smart tablet for your history record. Each scan is accompanied by a report to be shown to your doctor and a fair warning would be not to look up the terms in the report on the internet. Generally, the human mind would tend to look for negatives and invariably the Google search bot will find posts linking negativity to those terms and try to scare you. Its tough to prevent the urge from doing that search but its all for good, let your doctor interpret them for you in layman terms and be happy to know that everything is progressing as per plan
