12 week scan

Although everything was OK a fortnight ago, for some reason it was terrifying again. I've been throwing up, so the "full bladder" instruction was interesting. When we got there and "checked in" they asked if we wanted a photo, I said yes and nearly keeled over when they told me it'd be £10. While handing it over I managed the inappropriate question "Do you get your money back if it's not OK?". The lady looked at me like I was nuts, but said yes and handed over a counter.

In we went again, cold jelly on belly but this time there really was a baby, with wiggly arms and wiggly legs! It bounced around an awful lot, which seemed to make the sonographer extra grumpy (she didn't seem thrilled that I wasn't a size 6 waif). She turned the screen so I couldn't see which was a bit of a bummer, but Mike watched it escaping her and refusing to lie and let her measure the nuchal fold, so I've been offerend the quad test instead.


Morph is now "Flail Baby", and measured 12 weeks, up from 11+2!
