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?
