Well, had my 12 week scan today, 12+3 with dc3, due on 22nd October :) over the moon, as I have had 3 miscarriages previously too

Hi, I am due around 10th Oct. Just had my scan and the results and I am slightly panicky.... :/

Congratulations!! Grin

Just had my scan today too...one week older than I thought at 13+2 but I think they did that on size? So due date now October 16th, but we'll see when The Wriggler wants to come out!

frogalou why slightly panicky? I got a little panicked at the week earlier due date, but I hope everything is OK with you?

I had my scan results today and it is 1:3832 and it feels so real now... I can't help but worry I may be the one. I was hoping for 1:100000000 :))

Aww congrats frogalou and bettybat! Aww frogalou, try and not worry about the result. My lil baba would not get into a good position for the screening test. They sed I can have the blood test at 16 weeks, I've since decided not to find out, after a big talk with the midwife after my scan...my ds age 5, has a rare genetic disorder, so rare it has no name, it s. chromosome
Disorder and my ds is severely disabled, so this has bn a worry with ths pregnancy, it is however to a diff partner, I was told that there would be a less than1% chance that this would ever happen again even with ds's dad. Had 3 mc's to him also in the seven years we were together, our chromosomes were tested and ours were fine, so the geneticist sed that what happened to ds was sadly a million in one chance :( . The reason I've decided against the amnio is because of the miscarriage risk, 1in every 100 women, too high for me, so gonna ride it out n pray baba is healthy. I am
Also single now doing this, wonder if anyone else in same position ? Hmm

Congrats to you all. I had my scan today and am due 23rd October. Glad yours went well bettybat, my DD was born on 16th October.

frogalou it is normal to worry but I would be really pleased with that result. I am worried about mine as I am sure it will be higher risk becase I am 38!

caija, sorry you are doing this alone, do you have a good network of family and friends for support?

Hi, I am due 23rd oct like tickle, if that's close enough? Grin
I have declined screening tests, though now I am doubting and it's too late to change my mind as my scan was yesterday! I am especially relieved everything is fine too, as this is an ICSI pregnancy.
