I thought it was a bit quiet too. I think its probably either quiet anticipation and mental planning in the run up to our chilli fest at Sue's, or everyone is completely overcome by waiting to hear the results from my visit to the Fetal Medicine Centre today.
So for the latter folk, I'd better put you all out of your misery then...
The equipment at FMC, is superior to the local hospital's, as it's a research centre. DH and I were speachless at the detailed anatomy we were able to see. Unfortunately we couldn't see whether there was a willy or not, although in theory its possible at 12 weeks, but beanie refused to reveal anything in that department.
Sorry I'm being rude again aren't I?
I went in with a 1:29 risk of Downs (FMC see more high risk patients, hence high risk stat.)
After a scan which lasted about 45 mins, examining the heart beat, blood flow patterns and two heart valves, plus movement, limb length, nasal bone, nuchal fold etc, + my bloods......the outcome was a risk actor of 1:559
In other words, I was told that the risk is now the same as for a 31 year old.
See, I told you I was young looking!
To say I am relieved is to put it mildly - afterwards, I was so ecstatic that we skipped of down the street and, on reaching the station, realised we had forgoten to pay our bill and collect the written report, so we had to go all the way back!
Anyway - thanks again for all your kind thoughts during the last few days.
