Some of you may know that after a rough start with spotting etc, we got a higher than normal neck measurement at NT scan, I went for a sneaky second scan a few days later to find with surprise that the neck measuremtn was a lot smaller??? Amnio was required to be on the safe side.
I have to say I don't recommended having a baby over 40 OMG the stress is enormous if things go the way they did for me . Unfortunately it is very common in my age group, so don't do it!!!!well at least not if you are stresshead (like me!!!)... I am so thankful that things are going to be okay, but am feeling a mix of emotions as well elation and then depressed, after the rollercoaster ride,very relieved,still a little nervous, they say 2 weeks after there is risk of MC so am taking it very easy...Dh has the rest of the week off work.
Those who are interested amnio was'nt bad first needle p***k was fine second into uterus was a bit more OUCHY but still fine all up a couple of minutes so more than bearable, had a strange sensation like someone was untwisting my belly button from inside, must be where the needle entered refered pain or something . FISH results were back less than 24 hours later, these are accurate for 4 abnormalities.... downs was my risk area, my other risks are the same as anyone else. At the 20 week scan they will look for a heart defect, if there is one which I doubt... it will be minor maybe a hole in the heart etc. Although they did heart scan the other day and everythign was doing the right thing, I really think the guy who did the first measuremnet got it a bit wrong and the measurements at my sneaky second scan where right.
Anyway off now... still resting with feet up as much as possible
