Question

I'm 12 weeks pregnant and went for my NT scan today. The ultrasound tech told me my baby's not in the right position to see its face. She tried twice with a 10-minute break in between, but it still didn't work. She said I should come back in the evening and if we still can't see anything, try again in a couple of days. She mentioned sometimes the baby's position isn't ideal for the scan, so it might take a few tries. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Question

I've always had regular periods, but I'm a bit worried because they're starting to get delayed. Last month, it was 10 days late, and now it's already been 12 days past the expected date, and still nothing. I haven't had intercourse, so I'm sure pregnancy isn't the issue. My period dates have been March 12, April 10, and May 19. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
