Had scan this morning...all well!

We had our antenatal scan this morning where they were looking specifically to see if this baby has the same brain abnormalities as dd. Very pleased and relieved to say that as far as they can tell the brain looks fine. There was definitely a corpus callosum and absence of that is one of the main indicators of Aicardi Syndrome (which dd has). So it looks like all is well.
Just wanted to say thanks again to all those who were so supportive when I was freaking out after seeing the geneticist a few months back. At least now I can relax and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy (now I'll just have to wait until the baby is born before I start analysing every move!).
Oh - and it's another girl!

Fantastic news, hitc! And congratulations!

Davros · 14/03/2006 17:15

I have been wondering how you are, I'm so glad to hear that things are well. So DO just relax and enjoy the rest of the pg!! I am already thinking of girls' names that would go well with your DD's name.....Shock

I was hoping this would be your thread, HITC. Brilliant news! :)

Not sure about enjoying pregnancy though! Wink :o

heartinthecountry · 14/03/2006 17:42

Okay - 'enjoying' might be stretching the point Grin How are you CT? You can't have much longer to go...

Ooh any suggestions welcome Davros - we are stumped. Or rather we can't agree.

Thanks dino.

Thanks Fio Smile. I am rather pleased to be having another girl. Wouldn't have minded a boy at all but think dd will benefit from more pink and fairies in her life!

Fantastic news HITC - congratulations on expecting another beautiful girl. Grin
Pregnancy is not something I exactly enjoy either but the end is in sight.

Envy of CT who might get induction end of this week.

HITC fantastic news. i just popped over the Aicardi syndrome site to refreash my memory of it, and came across (i think) your dd's story and pics. She is gorgeous (i remember seeing her pics before and am certain its her).

heartinthecountry · 15/03/2006 08:51

Yep, that probably was her misdee as there are only about 2-3 girls on the site from the UK - her initials are WB.

getbakainyourjimjams · 15/03/2006 15:08

She is absolutely gorgeous HITC. Stunning.

merlot · 15/03/2006 19:47
