12 week scan they check for everything.. so its hard to say. the down sydrome one is common but they wouldnt know if there was a problem unless u have had the down sydrome blood test yet.
They check for growth.. so mayb doc thinks ur further along than u think??
Sara-Jane - I know it is so hard after an angel to relax during early preg. I agree that if it was something to worry about you would be in there now.
However - having said that, I am not against a preg tanty/hissy fit on the phone saying how worried you are and ask the doctor to call you before she goes today just to reassure you - especially so you can enjoy your birthday. Any GP worth their salt will spare that 1 minute to call you back for reassurance.
I have the best DH. He rang the Dr's to get more info coz he didn't want me worrying on my birthday. Anyway, apparently it's not a big deal but the hospital just always recommends having the NT scan if your hcg levels are high because it can indicate chromosomal problems. But the Dr said not to even worry about it because it's very rare and is only one indicator for some people. She said usually it's an over the phone thing but she knew I was worried because of the last miscarriage so wanted to make an appointment so she could talk to me about it and also see if i want to do the test and get the referral.
Phew, I feel better now. Thanks so much for all your support guys
I was called up with the " Dr wants to see you line" during my last pregnancy. I had also given a urnie sample though and I had high reading of sugar in my urine. I know my results were because of the urine test but it is stil very nerve wracking when they tell you to come see them
Good job on your DH part! Give him a big pat on the back from all of us. I would have done exactly what he did, so you could ease your mind. I am pleased you have some piece of mind now. Good luck with it all.
Sara Jane the same thing happened to me,i went to my normal gp and as i have a thyroid problem too they did the routine tests,well when i wanted to go back he was off and i had this stupid hippy woman doctor who called me in and said it was urgent and i needed to see her now,when i went in she failed to read that i had a 7 year history and have had my thyroid removed and of course pregnancy upsets the balance of your TH levels,it will be a common thing through your whole pregnancy that will need constant monitoring,dont worry too much im sure its nothing too serious and go enjoy your birthday!! stay positive!!
