Hi Emma

Glad to hear the update from the specialist. Like a couple of the other girls have said, some people get those odds at the 12 wk scan and chose not to have the amnio as well. There is more chance she is just fine than anything is wrong. Plus, like your specialist said, it would have been more likely to be picked up at that stage than this.

Emma, so much can go wrong during pg and childbirth that I'm sure some forewarning that there may be a problem will only help to prepare you to accept your little girl however she is. None of us know what will happen in the future to any of our children - some are born fine and still have problems later from other things.

I have a lovely friend who tells us that the Japanese deliberately put a small blemish on all pottery they make because nothing is meant to be perfect. We're all like Japanese pottery in some way!
