Hi,
so on Friday I had my first scan at 13 weeks,was so worried that there wouldn't be anything there,silly as I have been suffering with MS,getting bigger etc,so relieved to see a baby. We chose not to have the downs syndrome tests but during the scan she told me the NT was very thick at 5.5mm. I had a blood test and the midwife seemed concerned. I have to decide on having a CVS or amnio.and will have to travel 2 hours to go to a specialist hospital that can look at the baby's heart in detail. I'm trying not to worry or stress,not good for baby,and I still feel very lucky as a lot of women can't have babies or struggle but its so hard. I'm 25,don't smoke or drink,neither does my husband. Apparently we are the 1% who has a thick NT. I feel so selfish that I want a normal baby (who doesn't) but I also hate the idea if aborting if it has got downs or anything,especially after seeing this little person inside me,wiggling around.
just having a vent,its so hard.
