WE SAW OUR BABY!!

Well, Nuchal Scan went well, doc kept commenting on how perfect the baby was, wee thing kept bouncing as if it had the hiccups!! There was two docs, and then a second opinion from a nurse who had been working at the Queen Mothers where all mums to be get a nuchal. She confirmed the docs opinion that everything was perfect, and again, commented on what a perfect wee baby, and how well behaved it was!!!! Hope it keeps that up when it pops out, lol!!

Will have to wait a couple of weeks for the blood results, but I may be brave enough to put up a due date ticker now on the online forum!

One small problem, when she scanned me I told her I thought the baby was on my right side, where I can feel the lump, this was where bubs was, and the reason, is, I have a large fibroid where baby should be. I have to go back for another scan in four weeks, to check on it. This explains why my trousers have tightened so quickly and why I have been peeing constantly since about 7dpt. Apparently they feed on the high hormone levels. It also means I probably won't be able to have a natural birth, as the baby wouldn't be able to squeeze past the fibroid, and it will probably be lying in a funny position, so it will have to be a c-section.

Anyway, I can't tell you what a relief it was to hear "it's perfect". Sorry if I've rambled, we've just been so worried with DH's chromosome translocation, we were scared to believe this day would ever come.

In other news - my sister is pregnant!! She's on the pill, but after a day out boozingand shopping for bridesmaids dresses, she was seriously ill and was thowing up all over the place - so she of course negated any protection her pill was giving her! Baby will be due around beginning of January. First thing DH said when I told him - thank God we're pregnant. I think it would have been incredibly tough for us to watch my sis getting a lovely wee baby bump if we weren't pregnant too.
