I'm 31 weeks with DC2 and was just wondering how much is actually picked up by all the scans/tests we have in pregnancy.
That is, if your scans and tests are all normal, is it highly likely (barring an awful tragedy such as stillbirth, which is what happened with my baby brother) that your baby will be "normal", or is there still a fair chance something could be wrong?
I know obviously that they can't test for absolutely everything and that there are no guarantees, but I just have no sense of the probabilities that something could still be seriously wrong despite OK antenatal tests and scans.
Does anyone have a better idea than me?
I hope this question doesn't upset anyone reading - apologies if so.
Many thanks
