Do I have a chance?

[Phil's Mum]

Thanks Teagz.

I know google doesn't know everything. After a few days of highs and lows though I had a high today. Baby has started moving heaps today, which is so exciting but then I read something which really shook me.

Google is probably not the best idea right now
I've heard of heaps of people having a not so great NT scan & everything comes out ok!
Trust your doctor
All babies at around 12 weeks start growing at different rates. They start becoming more individual, eg, some will get longer legs, others will be a tad smaller as they may be a tad smaller. All my babies measured a couple of days ahead, beacuse we are taller people & so are our kiddies
Good luck tomorrow

thanks for the support.

The specialist wouldn't commit to a chance, he just said the risk factor was how things tended to work out.

My OB seemed to indicate that things were quite bad but then she said you know what the specialist said, which is a bit confusing.

Bubs is smallish for the age and he/she wouldn't move much on the ultrasound until the lady gave it a shove. Then it moved fine. The specialist said it was sluggish but I think it was sleeping. It has certainly be active today!!

Sort of along the same lines ... i received a panic phone call from my GP to come in asap as my scan result was 1 in 90 (very high risk factor for downs syndrome), basically my GP made me feel my baby was already labelled as downs syndrome, i got home and never cried like i did that day and so did my heartbroken DP ... Cut a long story short i too had a CVS test & paid extra for the FISH test ,got results within 48hrs that our baby was healthy ... Our DD is now 3 & she is a very healthy & a very bright child ... So PLEASE know there is every chance there is a very positive outcome

Be thinking of you tomorrow xoxox

This happened to my mum too. Scores for my brother came back as 1/50. He's now your typical, healthy 18 year old boy, driving everyone bonkers (but we still love him )
Sometimes at the end of the day all those figures are, are numbers.

It might be a good thing to remember that people generally tell the whole world when something bad happens, but are not so inclined to shout good news to the rooftops. There will always be double the number of bad stories on the www to good stories.

Well it's done.

It's a bit like I imagine liposuction to be but on a lot smaller scale. It's also a bit painful even with the local but managable.

I'm a bit annoyed though. I asked them for more pictures and to take baby's length measurement again. Well baby has grown 11mm in 3 days!!! Or more probably they messed up on Tuesday. Baby is still small but not worryingly small like I was told.

I feel a lot more relaxed now than I did before. I should get the results early next week.

Really hoping you get the results back asap! and great to hear about the growth!

My previous post disappeared.

Thanks Rose.

My OB sort of indicated things were bad but I'm not sure if she was just trying to prepare me in case.

The specialist said what the risk was and the actual results were about the same as the risk, so he wouldn't commit.
