Afternoon everyone!
banana well done for adding yourself to the list. Sorry that you're still so sick, I honestly so feel your pain!
velvet yay for good scan and test results.
tunnocks thought you were v brave buying a Doppler but clearly it's paid off. Keep us updated on how you go with it. I've been tempted to get one but v scared it will add to my mentalling!
izzy I know it shouldn't but it still 
me that when it come to things like this it's still a post code lottery out there. I can't believe you don't get the NT scan in your area. Understand your need for a scan to get you through the 'safe zone' (as mummya calls it) your first scan is tues right? I'll be thinking of you
Sorry to nickster and mamap who are getting ms back. That's rubbish!!!! I hope it doesn't last long.
cep sorry you didn't get a scan yesterday. I understand how hard it must be, and unnerving to have scan at exactly the same point as last time, but keep trying to be positive. How was your night last night without ds? Hope you and dh had some quality time together.
pink I think the independent mw sounds great. I'm not so sold on the idea for me but to be fair I've really not thought about the birth much, but I have a friend who is very keen, so much so that as she's facing reduduancy and If the worst happens she's thinking of re-training for it.
blackkat so glad yesterday when well for your dad, I hope his recovery is smooth and rapid. So 
for you at your rellies. They are just unbelievable. I'd be ashamed if I were them. But for now try not to let them get in the way of looking after yourself and your dad. And, get yourself added to the list lovely, it'd be lovely to see your name up there. It really is weired watching the weeks go by. I couldn't believe it said 8wks yesterday!
dachs yay for buying the pram! V exciting and brave! The JL baby scheme sounds good though!
wiw and mummya it sounds very complicated what you have to consider and go through to get tests for ds. I hope very much neither of you are faced with a decision of having to come back to the UK.
wiw hello dd buddy I am ok thank you. Sickness eased last night so managed to stuff my face eat while I had the chance. Ms gone today too. I seem to have a few days were it's awful, followed by a 'day off'..... Or so I'm Hoping rather than it having just disappeard bcs sonethings wrong! GOOD LUCK tomorrow, I am sure bean is fine and I hope you get to see him/her wriggling for you!
Had chat with dh this morning and we've agreed I'll have another scan privately when we get back from Scotland but before i go to Belfast. I'll be roughly 10 1/2 weeks depending on the date, so would be well into my 'safe zone'. Just hope nothing goes wrong whilst in Scotland!
