Katie thanks for posting that this morning, I have opted for the Nuchal Fold screening and have to go to another city (or to a city) to have it next week because my hospital doesn't do it.
Scan went well, the sonographer did that thing they always do and kept the screen away while she hunted for the baby and the heartbeat and when she turned the screen round all I could see was a blob. I said "Hasn't it got any arms yet?" and she laughed and showed me it's arms, legs, heart, cord, placenta and the hemispheres of the brain. It look like an actual baby now!
She also dated me at 11+5 which puts me back to 28th October I think but I'm staying here if that's ok?
Lol at the Indie Midwife stuff, I always think of the Madchester music scene when I hear indie. I was being lazy, I should have just said independent midwife. She can't make it tonight now but she's coming next week which is a blessing really because it means I don't have to tidy or break out the posh biscuits just yet.
TwoJack a friend of mine said the same, she had no symptoms at all and dreaded her first scan but all was fine. She said she really thought there would be nothing there. Her baby is 2 months old now.
Caz I think you're doing a wonderful thing and please don't censor yourself for worry of scaring people. Loss like yours is a sad fact of life and I'd bet my last pound that you're helping and supporting more women and families than you're scaring.
H007 let your dh draw up a short list and you just do the final cull. You can find something and move in 6 months. You'll be fine
