us scans

How long does ur gynae take to scan? I was asking my hubs to record video today and realise my gynae only scan for 49 seconds. Lol! I could hardly see the baby because it was too fast!!! Is this normal? Or my gynae like chop2 dont want to talk much one. Update: my gynae is private. PEH. Feeling abit shock cos heard u all scan for longer time. Ive alr sign package so i hv no choice but to continue & im alrdy half way through my preg. Keep telling myself its ok. Cos scan too long is not gd for baby. (Trying to make myself feel better lol!) But sometimes kinda sad cos waited 3 - 4 wks for the scan and i could barely see my bbgirl! =_= hahaaha.. sigh!

Does your gynae take measurements like length, head diameter, and show you different areas of the body like hands and legs? Mine always does these things each time so I think supposed to take longer

Nope. Most of the time, my gynae would just scan and look at baby.. look at the info at the side.. nv explain anything and puts away US device.. "ok everything looks good" .. poof! finish scan. The last scan i had was the shortest. 49 secs. Hahaha. Others was a minute plus the most. Maybe my gynae is a chop chop kinda person.. thankful that baby is healthy but sometimes as a FT parent, we of course was hoping for a lil bit more.. as we are new to this pregnancy 😅😅

My gynae at least 8-10mins based on my hubby’s video recording. Is your gynae private or subsidised? If subsidised, that may explain as many patients waiting to be seen. My gynae is private.

Nope. Im on private. PEH.

my scan also took seconds at PEH, probably due to high patient intake.. no worries I'm sure she's experienced enough to look at scans.. if any abnormalities she will definitely inform

Maybe we have the same gynae!! Hahaha. Yes im sure.. i told my husb.. just take it positively & trust our gynae cos got good reviews.. we are first time parents so maybe i guess thats why we expected a lil bit more time on the scan. Lol!

Hahah detailed scan can go up to 40 mins including measuring of length etc. A short brief one probably 5 mins?

My recent one is about 4min. Detailed scan is not by gynae but by sonographer using a more powerful machine.

i remembered asking questions during scan so my gynae had to explain what she was seeing during the scan

Hi we are from PEH gynae too but our scan is usually 1 mins plus..

Maybe we have the same gynae. My prev scan was 1 min plus too. But never reach 2 mins. Mostly is chop2. Only this last one was abit too fast i feel😅 were u satisfied with ur scan? Im assuring myself that my gynae is exp & labour time is all that matters!! 😄😄
