You probably wont see much. The baby will still be very small you will however see the heartbeat. There are many websites available that have photos of real ultrasounds at various stages of development. They will be able to give you a better idea of what to expect. Good luck. Oh and as for the picture im sure if you ask the can give you one or two

It all depends on you! But this is what happened with me. We had our first ultrasound at 10 weeks too and dummy me forgot to drink all the fluid before hand so like I downned soooo much in like 25 minutes before it happened... Including like alittle sugar/caffeine. Not only did the caffenine help but the doc recommended a smallllllllll dose of it for the ultrasound it gets the baby moving around a bit. Although they werent like kodak clear we made out il stubs of arms and legs and the heartbeat is clear on the screen its liker a lil fuzzyness moving around and on ours, our babys eyes are very clear and the form of a head. Some more clear than others. But yeah she printed us out like 7 different pictures. You doc should help clear things up good luck its an amazing thing.

I have my 2nd one in 10 days to find out the sex of the baby Smile

Mine was pretty much like jess's only I did drink before hand so I was busting for a pee.
At my local hospital, you have to ask for a piccie before hand so they can freeze some stills and we have to pay £3.
