Battery, Scooby so pleased to hear you good scan news, fantastic 
Hairy Congratultations, so pleased for you, fx that this is super sticky for you
Jiggle good on you for joining the list, and Hairy too, I'm so happy seeing that list growing. 
Jiggle sounds like you need to let people know asap before DS does.
Hadrian glad you got the courage to come across to this room. My EPU wouldn't scan me early either, so I ended up paying for a private scan at 8 weeks, I couldn't wait for 12/13 weeks before the NHS would see me. Might that be an option for you?
Izzy LOL at your thinking about taking your own blood and BP! But 
that you should feel the need to. This thread is making me see just how hit and miss NHS care is across the country, makes me that there is no consistent, additional care (or let's face it straightforward care) to reassure after previous experiences.
Collieandpup and YRMOTBFP love the new names
Collieandpup well done you for tackling the midwife, I really hope they have taken the other dates off your records next time you go.
Daisy I agree with everyone else, they won't be able to make you take anything you want to, thinking of you.
Cep, I'm worried about telling people too, last time round I'd told my boss the good news, before the bad news, however, this did help, and this time round he's bending over backwards to make things easy for me. This time round we've told a few more people, but I still worry I might be tempting the jinx pixies.
Lara I know what you mean, but having read about poisson, the bits I understood, I feel a bit more reassured. Does it feel a bit better not to be at the bottom of the list???
Owl welcome back, any stork fighting to report on??
to Pink, Katherine, Mama Mummya, WIW, Wombat, Minnie, Ninu, Banana and to everyone else. I've some chicken goujons in the oven, will whisk a tray in as soon as they're done!
