First Echocardiogram Ever

It's 4:30 am here in this valley. I'm up, showered and about to have breakfast. In a little while, when it is not so dark, we are heading off for an 8:00 appointment in a town that's about two hours drive away. I've been told echocardiograms are fascinating to witness so I'm quite interested in this. I'll let you know how it goes.

hope all goes well for you at the echo, let us know how you got on and what fascinating stuff you see. It’s bizarre to see your own heart - we know it’s there we can feel it but I felt it was surreal to see it. I’ve only see on images / video after the event and only a teeny bit live on angiogram. They are amazing things. ❤️

I`ve had a couple but unfortunately I was laying on my left side and had my back to the screen, but did hear some squishy wet sounds as the heart pumped blood.

Hello :-)

Good Luck I hope everything goes well and will look forward to hearing how you got on :-) x

The sound is fascinating...

I've had so many and I try to get a sneak peak but they always say can you please turn on your left side I actually have one of my echo scans as my profile picture and it's definitely fascinating to see. I wish I knew what I was looking at 😅😂😆. Anyway all the best hope your echo goes well 😉☺️. Forgot to mention only reason I have that picture is cause I took a quick picture while I was getting changed after 😆.
