Evening all,
I had my scan and bloods today so have updated the stats. New due date is 29 Jan; only 1 day out from my own calculation which is pretty pleasing.
The bean was flailing about madly throughout the scan, somersaulting, flexing its little fists and whacking the placenta with its feet. We saw it from every possible angle . It took 2 sonographers resorting to a dildocam (boo) and about 50 minutes to get the measurements they needed, I kid you not. Even then they still couldn't see the heart or stomach clearly but it was very cool to see all the little bones and the face. The print outs are very fuzzy unfortunately because the bean just wouldn't sit still long enough for a screenshot!
On the positive side, our risk of Downs is 1:1619 so we decided not to go for CVS. If I change my mind on that before the end of this week I can go back and have it. On the down side, the nuchal fold is 2.5mm which is outside normal range and above the 95th centile. Taken in isolation, this means a slightly increased risk of cardiac problems so we are having another scan at 16 weeks when the heart will be bigger and any defects visible. I lost it a bit when we got home, but actually the increased risk is quite small. We are lucky to have got the scan and blood results instantly and also lucky that there seem to be no chromosomal abnormalities.
I got my wish of feeling ok for the festival and we had a great time. I just hope that 4 good days in a row turn into 5...
