Hi everyone. I apologise now for the long rambling post.
I finally had my scan this morning, almost couldn't sit still as I was so anxious, my appointment was a bit late as well so the wait didn't help. Had DH with me and he kept me calm by talking about other things and joking around.
When we went in and the sonographer first found the baby I was genuinely shocked, it really didn't feel real until then, over the past day or so I'd almost convinced myself that they wouldn't find anything and that it was a phantom pregnancy or that something had gone wrong and it would be bad news. I couldn't help it, I just started crying and laughing, poor sonographer had to wait for me to calm down as it made my stomach move so much.
We confirmed a single baby. I could see the heart beating (nice and strong) and the baby was moving around a lot at first, it probably didn't like being prodded at lol or it was responding to my reaction of seeing it. After a while it calmed down so we were able to get measurements and we also did the NT screening. Due date has been moved back 2 days to 16th Jan, and NT well within normal limits. Had bloods taken as part of the screening but expect this will be ok as there was no indication of an issue.
DH and I decided to take the whole day off work for this, it's been a very good day. The good news with the pregnancy, then we saw my best friend as she was off work today too and showed her the scan photos, then a massage which was extremely relaxing, then DH and I spontaneously went swimming as we were melting at home. Hope to have more days like this.
