Ferrals - Things are looking up so far.... I really hope all is ok and you get that good news you're waiting for. I think them reccomending you have the amnio isn't neccesarily a bad sign, but I can understand how it would make you worry. Try to take things one step at a time...... FX all goes well and you can breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Mildez - I agree with Reet, you're luck to have access to a u/s and doppler whenever you want.

Reet - The trip down here wasn't too bad. There was an annoying lady sitting next to us, on the aisle seat who wouldn't get up and let us off the plane! I swear we sat there for a good 10 minutes before she even looked like moving. Oh and the taxi driver was a bit on the crazy side, driving in 2 lanes at once etc... I was a bit edgy after that, lol. Anyhoo we made it and I'm exhausted already, and trying not to worry about my little puppy and kitty. I hope they aren't scared without us there. Don't feel too self conscious about your belly...... and maybe try a sip of coffee to get things going. Works for me! LOL. Good luck for your appointment

Angelfish - I'm sorry your partner isn't being very involved or supportive..... that will all change once baby arrives though.

AFM - Too tired to update much.... travelling really takes it out of me these days! I'm looking forward to a delicious roast dinner, and then a nice sleep. I think my feet are actually swollen. They seem just a little puffy.
