Ladies, some advice please for a first timer!
I'm 30 years old and 11+5 with my first baby. I have my combined test at Kingston (upon Thames) hospital on Tuesday. If it all looks ok at the scan with the nuchal fold test will I be able to (finally!) tell people straight afterwards, or do you think I should wait for the blood test results? I know this depends on individual choice, but I was wondering what your experiences have been, and what you've done?
I'm suppose I'm just wondering if the nuchal test usually looks ok, if that's a good indication that things will be ok with the bloods? I know waiting for the bloods won't take that much longer, but it feels like I've been hiding my pregnancy forever, and I'd really like to be able to tell family as soon as possible, and explain to friends why I've been avoiding social situations and have looked so rough...!
Sorry for rambling, I'm feeling really apprehensive about the whole combined test process. I've been scared to get too attached to this much wanted baby, in case something is wrong.
Any thoughts much appreciated!
