We had our Nuchal translucency scan today......what a great u/s!! the baby was jumping all around!! I could actually tell it was a baby this time! Hands, feet, etc.. I just fell more in love with this baby watching that screen!! Amazing how much the little bean jumps around, yet still can't feel a thing! I am really sad that Jeff didnt join me for this one....he would have loved it!
Doc measured the baby crown to rump (65mm) and the skin on the back of the neck (14mm)....said the measurements were right on (no abnormalcy)!! Also said the baby was measuring 12w6d! I am only 12weeks today!! they took 5 drops of blood (ouch, the finger prick hurt!)they test the blood for 2 different proteins...they plug the results along with baby's measurements and my age into a computer and it will then give a calculation of risk for downs syndrome and 2 other defects. We should have the results next week, but they will only call if something is wrong, otherwise,Dr. V will discuss the results with me at my next prenatal appt.
