Just back from my first midwife appointment and scan!
Everything is fine, it has arms!!!!
Midwife was great, and I saw the consultant. I'm a bit of a medical freak, so i'm getting the full bhoona of tests!
I'm a severe asthmatic, my mum is diabetic, my second cousin has just had a baby girl born with spina bifida, and there is spina bifida on my dad's side too.
So i'm to see the chest specialist on Friday, get a glucose tollerance test at 24 weeks and have the full screaning and scans done on pumpkin (aptly named due to the fact that I am due in October!)!
The ultrasound was great, although she put me back a week (probably something to do with the fact I was on the pill....ooopppss!). Pumpkin was moving about, but wasn't wanting to move its head to let her get a measurement and kept putting its hands over its face when she tried to get it to move!!!!
Then, when she said "Let's get a picture", Pumpkin lay back with one arm behind its head as if posing!!!
So, thanks to you all for your support over the past wee while! Here's to happy, healthy 2nd tri's and babies!!!!
