Here is a link to some photos of the blessingway, including my birth alter and the henna tattoo...I will have to upload a new one of my belly soon, because the henna is quite dark brown today.

hey HB ladies - just a quick question - did you all still have scans? 12 wk and 20 week?
Just curious

Beautiful Arcadia!

sneakysparkle: yep. had both scans and bloods etc. just didnt do the GTT or the GBS.

[Antheia]

I had a dating scan at 7-8 weeks, and then a scan at 20 weeks. I didn't have the 12-13 week NT scan because no matter the outcome of that scan I wasn't going to terminate so there was no point in me having it done. I didn't have any blood tests at all. Not the GTT. Didn't have the GBS swab either.

^same here^

The henna was done by a woman who comes to your home/event and she does about ten people an hour...there are a few around...I just went with whoever was available that day. Look up gumtree or just google mendhi or henna artist
