How many of you ladies are getting a nuchal translucency scan? I'm 24 and my doc says most people my age opt for just the blood work. That's what my sister did. Any thoughts?

In the UK the bloodwork is included in the 12 week Nuchal Scan and most healthcare trusts offer it as standard to all mothers regardless of age, although some trusts only offer it to women over a certain age. Mine was included regardless. I am awaiting results from bloods now, but sonogrpaher was happy with what she saw on the scan my NT result was 1.8 which is good so I am pleased.

Lovely scan pictures everyone! My scan is tomorrow at 12 p.m., can't wait! But nervous too, even though I had a scan at 9 weeks.

Thought I would post my bump now its appeared - I haven't put on a single pound since my BFP but my body has changed completely. I had a completely flat stomach before! My last day in first tri!

Thought you might find my solution to trousers that won't do up, amusing!

 

[UkCath]

I used to do that with trousers during my last pregnancy too.. Haven't had to yet but no doubt will soon!

Good luck to everyone with scans still to come.

Hey there ladies,
Gorgeous scan pics! I'm jealous!! The one symptom I can't seem to shake is the exhaustion! I get tired to early and I feel bad for my dh who wants to spend time with me at night and I fall asleep on the couch. At least he knows it's because I'm growing a baby in there!! Haha. Alot of my symptoms have backed off alot this week. I guess my hcg finally peaked and is now lowering. I want to rent a Doppler after hearing the hb last week! Haha
Well here's to us all moving to 2nd tri in the next few weeks

Buy one!! Search google for the "Sonoline B Fetal Doppler". I'm pretty sure I got mine from fetaldoppler.net and I think it's the 3Mhz. It's only $53 and I heard the heartbeat at 7 weeks. DH and I listen to it every few nights, LOVE

Hey so I got my doppler in the mail today and Im not sure it's working properly. 1. As soon as I turn it on it starts showing numbers and the heart flashes... Like before I even put it on my tummy.
2. I tried it on my own heart to and it shows my heartbeat at an extremely high bpm, like 140. Maybe your not supposed to put it near your heart because it doesn't read it accurately.
3. I think I can hear baby's hb because it sounds like what I heard at the doc but it's so soft and sometimes I can hear it even though it's not getting picked up on the screen...
Ugh! Anyways...
