Hi all,
Amy it must be awful bleeding all the time, It would truly freak me out, I jump at the sight of any blood, and freaked out at 9 and 12 weeks with a teeny bit, more scans is good, why the bleeding may just be one of those mysterys? Congrats on 21 weeks!
Emma, congrats on the new job
Sorry I am trying to catch up from memory here!
Fish and chips, thanks for the update, that's really interesting!
Congrats to all the new blue and pink bumps, we had a double check today, it is hard to see the base of the spine without keep checking so double sure on what team we are on!
The scan went well, the consultant was very nice, and we were seen really fast and follow up was there and then, its really scary, but all over now.
Baby has a slight widening to the base of the spine, it joins which is good, and the consultant said if he had done the 20 week scan he would have put it down to a natural variation, and not to worry, However, and quite a big however! It could be there is mild spina bifida, and if this is the case could affect bladder, bowel control and sexual function later in life, but he still felt this was not the case.
He asked about termination, at which i said no way, and he said he would feel very uneasy as he felt it was a perfectly healthy baby.
It is mad how some people want a perfect child or nothing at all, and pretty scary, but not something we needed to discuss anyway.
So it looks like the hospital were being over cautious, but better that than miss something, just a big worry! We are not going back now, and apart from baby being checked at birth and reguarlly after that is it, i can relax and enjoy my pregnancy.
It was much better coming out of the hospital today knowing things were ok, it was more how we should have felt after the scan on Wed! It was relief and then more joy over the sex of the baby, and a chat about how out family is shaping up and how it will be in the future, which was so lovely.
Baby gave a big kick as soon as the gel and little probe thing went on my belly, and it was on the screen, i could see the kick as well as feel it, very strange! Both me and the chap with the scan thing went 'wow' when baby kicked!
Anyway that's my news, rather a selfish post I am sorry, will be back to catch up and be on normal form now we are on track!
Thanks for all your good wishes, looks like it worked!!

Great news babythinkpink
Amy - you're so strong - I have no idea how i'd cope if I were still bleeding with all the worry.
I'm going to the baby show on Saturday if anyone else is?
BTW... OT side note, but how much of a prat is Jeremy Paxman being? So much so that my OH has just called in to complain! He's not allowing Gordon Brown to answer anything at all, and is being completely subjective. Pillock.

Totally agree about the Paxman thing. He's a bugger!!!
Amy fingers crossed your bleeding stops soon or at least gives you a break. It's crap. I remember it very well. Mine stopped about 26 weeks with Archie. Do they know where you're bleeding from? ( I know that sounds daft!!!)
