I've just had the dreaded phone call, I'm 16 weeks and showing already, this doesn't feel real.

@Pinkywoo Hope you are OK. How are you feeling?

I'm ok thanks, the amnio was fine so just have to wait for the result now. The baby had a clearly visible nasal bone which the doctor commented on so I'm trying to be hopeful.

For anyone else who needs one it took a few minutes and just felt like he was pressing hard with a finger next to my bellybutton, no sharp pain at all, and I'll get the results by the end of the week.

Keeping everything crossed for you. Try and rest as much as you can for the next few days. You may feel a bit twingey.

Sending you all the positive vibes. Be kind to yourself this evening and the coming days.

Nasal bone visible is a great sign. Wishing you all good vibes for Friday.
