Can't **ing believe it.

Did it for DP, he needs to be sure, or more sure of what was happening, so as it's his baby too I thought, okay fine, i'll do the intergrated test for you, then at least you'll relax and we can crack on and enjoy this.

Hmmm, not so **in' fast aye.

Oh, why, why, why.

So pissed off.

Had the 1st of the bloods taken and week of 1st July will have the 2nd lot taken and then 10 days later get full results.

Today they did the scan part too.

It measured 2.4. Was 3 at one point but baby was in a bad position so 2.4 was the measurement she took.
That on it's own, with past history, gives me a 1 in 89 chance.

Why oh why couldn't it just have been a 1.whatever measurement and shut everyone up.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Someone pass me the remote so I can hit fast forward, to December.

Maybe I should run away and when i come back it'll be too late for anyone to give me any tests and they'll all just have to leave me alone.

Wish D was cooler about it all, I do understand but..... wish I didn't have to be understanding.

It's all bollocks.

Stupid bloody testing.

What have I always said about this, and now look

Good luck for tomorrow.

Thankfully our local hospital don't offer Nuchal Fold scans. Just a dating scan at 12 wks and an Anomaly scan at 20wks.

Good luck tomorrow TC, I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

yoyo · 20/06/2005 12:17

Hope it all goes well tomorrow. Will be thinking of you.

Saker · 20/06/2005 13:11

Good luck I hope it goes well

milward · 20/06/2005 13:17

TC - do you mean you're having another nuchal scan? I had a second one at the uni hospital that did all the tests when I was preg with dd3. Even if the nuchal measurement is larger than expected it doesn't mean that there will be probs. Thinking of you - keep strong and take care of yourself xxx

Merlot · 20/06/2005 13:20

Good Luck for tomorrow TC

Thomcat · 20/06/2005 13:23

Thanks girls. Yes another nuchal scan but hey take blood and also measure the nasal bone which noone else but this clinic does. They are 95% accurate and you find out straight away compard to 85% accurate and you find out, in my case 15 July.

I hope it goes well TC. Ds was at his physiotherapy playgroup today playing with a little boy with Downs (take a picture of me and Joe Mummy!) and I thought of you and Lottie.
Anyway, I hope it is reassuring to you and Dom and you can forget all about it.
How are you feeling apart from all this?

MandM · 20/06/2005 13:26

TC - Good luck. Thinking of you. x

Heathcliffscathy · 20/06/2005 13:28

tc, they are great at the fetal medicine centre. Prof nikoleides (sp?) invented the integrated nuchal scan (i think) so you couldn't be in better hands...i'm glad the waiting will soon be over, and wishing you all the strength and good news in the world x

Thomcat · 20/06/2005 13:37

Thanks Aloha, not sure how I'm feeling apart from this, there seems to be no aparet from this iykwim!
Ummm, gosh I haven't thought about it, I feel okay actaully, haven't felt sick all weekend. i'm 13 weeks now so .... feel hot and bothered and well sick but not in the same way as before!

TC, haven't been around much lately and missed your news and this thread. Sounds like you are doing the right thing - getting a test that you can trust so you can stop worrying. Crossing everything for you. Sx

Mama5 · 20/06/2005 14:48

You sound very strong and courageous Thomcat and you have made me feel quite humble. Thinking of you and your family at this stressful time. Mx

Willow2 · 21/06/2005 16:43

Buggering bollocks - TC, I can't believe I missed this thread until now... and that you are going through all this. Just wanted to say that I am thinking of you all and that I hope today goes well. xxxxx
