Tristan's Scan Page


It really is the most amazing thing to see the development of a child even before he comes out into the real world. His heartbeat, his tiny hands and feet, right the way down to a yawn!! I'm not usually one to wax rhapsodic but I always felt that this 'miracle of pregnancy' thing was, not to put too fine a point on it, a trifle overrated.

But then, as the man said, you have to be there!

Those with a basic grounding in the analysis of foetal ultasound images will have a lot of fun. However the rest of us will be looking at blurry grey blobs!

These are very definitely the earliest pictures we have our our little one!!

Scan 1 - 1

Our very first view. Tiny isn't it!

Scan 1 - 2

...with hands...

Scan 1 - 3

...and feet...

Scan 1 - 4

...and a spine (well, it's a vertebrate thank God!).

Scan 1 - 5

The head still much smaller than the chest.

Scan 2 - 1

Definately a Caldow profile! You can just make out the heart as well (just!).

Scan 2 - 2

Head still winning!

Scan 3 - 1

Errrhhmmm...Did you want to know the sex???

Scan 3 - 2

All his own teeth as well!

Scan 3 - 3

...but not if he keeps sucking his thumb like that!!

Scan 3 - 4

It's a close run thing now.

Scan 4 - 1

Our son exposing himself again (just like his Dad, eh!!).

Scan 4 - 2

And now the chest is winning the size race.

Scan 4 - 3

ET LIVES!!!

Scan 4 - 4

"What do you mean, 'He has his fathers nose' ???"

Scan 4 - 5

Nostrils! Cool!

Scan 4 - 6

Lips. They'll come in useful.

Scan 4 - 7

Are we boring you in there?.....Yawn!

Scan 4 - 8

Spine looks well formed still.

Scan 4 - 9

A pulsing aorta (ok it's a still image but use your imagination)...

Scan 4 - 10

...and a beating heart. Both atria pounding away!

Scan 5 - 1

Big foot. Looks like he needs a bit of work on getting the proportions right.

Scan 5 - 2

Hands and fingers coming on a treat!

Scan 5 - 3

The chest is definately in the lead now.
