Level two Scan or Anomaly Scan at Week 20

After the triple marker test's 1:3400 result ( considered negative) I was asked by the Fetal Medicine specialist to go through a detailed scan called Level 2 Scan or Anomaly Scan during my 20th week. ( just like that... just to be supper sure that everything is fine with the baby and its growth is normal)
Last week was my 20th Week so I went for one... it was nothing but a detailed scan of each and every organ and part of the my child. Right from fingers count to healthy functioning of heart was checked in the scan. I heard my baby's heart beat this time it seemed like a tick-tock of a clock but was quite fast. I also heard the sound of the blood flow it sounds like a sound of a windy storm.
As the fetal's body is still quite transparent my husband and I could see the heart beating also one the LCD. :-D
I will be turning 21weeks tomorrow and recent development for me is I have been feeling the movements of my little one now. They are very mild and I feel them only when I lay down on the bed quietly. The feeling of a baby movement ( also called quickening) is the most exciting time of your pregnancy ( I personally feel so ). To understand how it exactly feels all I can explain is fill air in your cheeks and now shift it from one side to another. If you will lift your top to see the movement you will see your stomach rising from that particular area. Cute experience it is...
