Here is a picture of the babies at the 12 week ultrasound. They pretty much look like aliens! The baby in the top picture is "non-presenting", meaning this baby will likely be born second. I'm assuming in future ultrasounds this baby will be referred to as "Baby B". Baby B did NOT want to cooperate for the specific kind of measurement they needed to get of the fold on the back of the neck. It was lying face down and fell asleep, then it flipped to be on its head hanging like a bat with feet up (which is what its doing in the picture). I had to change positions multiple times, get up and go to the bathroom, and finally the sonographer resorted to pushing down pretty hard on my stomach for over 20 minutes until Baby B finally cooperated for the measurements!
The baby in the bottom picture is “presenting”, meaning this baby is closest to my cervix and will likely be born first. Baby A was awake for the entire scan and laid perfectly still – we had those measurements done in about 10 minutes! The head is on the left in the picture, and this picture was taken with more zoom so this baby looks bigger. In actuality the babies are the same size, right around 5.8cm.
It's funny to think about how their little personalities might be emerging already!
