Morning ladies! Soooo nice to have a lazy day off! Congrats PDR & SweetNilitro(sp?!) on your scans! I'm loving hearing everyone's good news! Reminds me, my date was brought forward from 11th to the 9th on the back of the 12 week scan. I'm on an iPhone here & not sure how to make the changes to the list. Can someone cleverer please move me?! I'm secretly still hoping for an 11th baby as that was my late dads birthday and somehow to no longer have it as due date it seems more possible!! I was 7 days late with DD so I won't bank on it!
Sam try not to worry about the nuchal measurement, wait and see what your bloods say and what you're advised. It's a worry for me too at 39, I'm waiting till 16 weeks for bloods to be taken for downs & spinabifida, see what the percentage comes back as.. Thought provoking stuff raising a lot of questions I know. I'm certain we would still keep our baby regardless unless a very severe disability was detected in which basic quality of life was compromised... Lots of luck with your results Sam x
Reading about over emotional responses to Dogs Trust adverts etc, we saw ToyStory3 yesterday and I cried a lot at the end, tears of happiness! Gawd! I wanted to keep my 3D glasses on!
Wanted to let you know my Angel Sounds Doppler arrived in the post! Well I had to pick it up from the PO and basically tried it out in the car in the car park!! Disappointed to hear no heartbeat and spent rest of the day worrying about a mmc. Tried at home, still nothing :( I was starting to think this was adding to rather than easing my worry! Last night though I heard lots of movement and a faint galloping racehorse sound (phew) and over to the other side a rhythmic whoosh whoosh of blood feeding into the placenta (I think). It was amazing and reassuring once I knew what I was listening for. I've always sensed the baby is on the left of my uterus from cramping in the early days and sure enough, that is where I am hearing the baby. I'd love to hear other Doppler experiences! I can thoroughly recommend this one. It's on Ebay, brand new for about £20 and comes with a bottle of gel. You can read reviews on Amazon. Important though not to worry if you don't find h/b immediately, I eventually heard it only faintly and I'm reassured by reviews saying that it wasn't picked up till 16+ weeks with many.
Anyway, have a great day everyone and sbf, hope you're feeling better soon.
