12 Week Scan

I got in for my scan today instead of tomorrow. The little bub was there nice and high in my pelvis. The heart was beating at 171 beats per minute and baby was flipping and kicking all around my belly. The lady got some good scans of the NT folds for the Down syndrome test. She said about 2.4mm which is the higher end of normal but I can’t find anything to support that online and will wait for results on Monday with Gus. The sonographer was non compliant with me requesting a nub scan. I guess I was not convincing enough on the nub theory of picking up the gender by the way the nub faces. She gave us a toilet shot to see the nub but we can’t see the direction and at 12 weeks that is the only was to decide. So we are waiting for 18 week scan to see the real bits and pieces.

After had a blood test to find out the rest of the Downs testing. They took 6 vials which was a bit much if you ask me but since I haven’t had any blood tests yet so I might be getting the last 12 weeks all in one sitting.

So feeling much relieved by the scan and will get results Monday. Will talk to them about my increased tiredness all the time and need to sleep so much also the fact I am still sick all the time.
