Thanks to Redsox for sharing. I'll share now...I am secretly PETRIFIED I am making myself ill with worry over my anomaly scan I refused the Downs blood test because of my age (40, 41 when baby born) but I didn't realise that you could have an NT scan at 12 weeks, I had my last baby over 13 years ago so it's all changed. My Midwife has written across my notes 'REFUSED DOWNS SCREENING' but that's not exactly what I said.

Anyway it doesn't matter now I suppose and what will be will be but I am absolutely petrified
Glowstar - Let me just tell you I WISH I skipped all of this! I feel like they are getting me all worked up and robbing me of pregnancy joy for nothing. Honestly - DH and I have a lot of regrets over doing these tests so I would love to be in your shoes. Really. I think that ignorance is bliss and honestly if there is anything blatantly wrong it will be detected at a regular scan. Please do not fret about this at all. As we get older they calculate the odds as riskier and riskier and even though I will be in my later 30's and early 40's with subsequent children I do not plan on having these tests again.

I am glad technology exists for those who HAVE complications, but I am over the 'litigation averse' way of practicing medicine where they seem to be hunting ANY possible little issue to sound the alarm and cover their butts.

I sound like a conspiracy theorist now - but I am just over the invasiveness, scary possibilities, etc. I think the hands-off Midwife route is the way to go!

Take a deep breath and know that your babe is doing great!

Citymouse - thanks! I am excited but nervous at the same time. I am carrying pretty low this time, just all in all very different from my daughter

Newfielady - Good Luck tomorrow as well!

Kymied - Good Luck with getting your power back on, looks like everytime I see a story on it the # is getting smaller, I hope you guys getit back soon!

Crowned - Love those names! So cute

1st timer - I like Harrison but not Harry for short, I think Harrison sounds like a strong name!

Just an FYI for you UK ladies, my scan is pretty late tomorrow US time so you probably won't see if we are team blue or pink until Thursday! Sorry!

I know you are soooo right. In fact my age wasn't the ONLY reason I skipped the test. I had the tests with my last pregnancy when I was 27 and came back high risk for Spina Bifada. There is no amnio etc for this...all they can do is scan you and make vague mutterings that 'everything appears satisfactory' (7 scans later!). Like you...I was robbed of enjoying my pregnancy so decided this time not to have any tests.
I know I am beating myself up about this and probably fretting over nothing

Amy!!! so glad you are home and all is OK....c'mon Cerclage...hold on for Amy and bubs
