I think I can echo some of the doom and gloom sentiment. I just seem to bounce from one worry to another. Yesterday I had to stand by the car and retch for 5 minutes before driving DS home from nursery but today I haven't felt nearly so bad and my boobs don't seem to have changed size at all yet (should be 7 weeks on Monday).
msscarlett you have some willpower not to do any kind of test! IQ here conceived without getting AF post m/c!
manda If I even get to 12 weeks then getting my nuchal result is already scaring the shit out of me. As i'm 39 I know it will be crap anyway as on age alone I think it's something like 1:150. I really am bricking it and have no idea if we will do invasive testing if it comes back high risk. I originally said we wouldn't but now i'm not so sure. If I lived in London then I would definitely go to the Fetal Medical Centre place that i've heard brilliant results about them, they are seemingly very very good. They don't check the nasal bone here at the NHS nuchal (at least I don't think so) so if I did want that checked would have to travel 150 miles to Glasgow and pay £150. It's only 0.7mm more than your last pregnancies which is so so so so tiny and I don't think they worry about it at all unless it's over 3.5mm (I think it's that figure anyway). What does the nasal bone look like on a scan & what other soft markers do they look for? Do you know in your head what kind of risk statistic you would be happy with, you should get it in a couple of days so would be able to get a private scan in before 13+6 (is that the cut off, I can't remember)? I would be happy with a 2mm nuchal reading though so please please please try not to worry xxx I must admit I sometimes lurk on the Antenatal Tests threads.

says the average at 11weeks is 2mm and at 13weeks is 2.8mm so you are well well within the safe range x
blue great to have you back!!!! I can't believe your 12 week scan has come around this quickly! Wow!
eve how are you feeling now? At least the scan will put your mind at rest. It's crazy isn't it how we have to spend so much cash on peace of mind (but don't mind spending it IYSWIM!)
IQ how did the rest of the day go? Did you manage to get seen at the drop in clinic?
baby hopefully the midwife will be sympathetic and agree to refer you, otherwise I would also try your GP (is she nice and helpful?). I hate this constant worrying, it's so draining emotionally isn't it.
marathon hope the scan went well today!
shimmery have you tested yet?
poppy that place in the Lakes sounds heavenly! Will definitely go and look it up!
