Am in the waiting room for my NT scan and I am sick with nerves! Will pop back later and let you all know how it went.

Hi all,
I am hugely relieved, all went well today. Unfortunately I didn't get to keep my knickers on for this one as bubbs was being shy and we couldn't get a good view externally. All normal and healthy with low risk of ds. Phew!
Sorry for the 'me' post. Having a bad bout of ms tonight so will come back for personals when I'm not chucking (yukko).
Hope everyone is well.
Wishful.

Congratulations Wishful for reaching the next milestone successfully!!!

Wishful, congratulations on a great scan result!

For those that have had their NT scans, do you get the result same day? Or is it a preiminary result and you have to wait for the actual number (ie 1:300 or whatever).

And did you bother paying extra for any photos/DVD? Mine is tomorrow.

Yay Wishful! Had been wondering how you went. Hope the MS isn't so bad today.

Good luck for yours tomorrow Indigo.

[Lorem ipsum]

Hi Guys,

Hope everyone had a good Easter. I still have a couple of eggs left, I sadly they are on the endangered list.

Indigo During my scan the sonographer talked throught all the bits, like 'there is the nasal bone' and 'the NT measurement is in the normal range'. They then sent the data over to a central lab, which had my BT results. I was told it would take about 30 minutes to come back, and we could either wait or the Dr would call us. We went for a walk and waited. We also got a letter from the lab with everything written down mailed to us later. We got a couple of photos and a DVD. Cause we are going to the public hospital it was all bulk billed.

Wishful Congratulations on your good result! Hope you are feeling better soon and are able to start enjoying your second trimester!

Kate Bummer about your jeans, Hopefully your gas will settle down soon and you can fit back into them. I have just had to go down a hole on my belt, but I think I will be ok in my jeans for a little while yet. I did tell my parents at Easter-see more below!

OneDS Thanks for the info on the Doppler, I hope you are feeling a bit better. You are having a rough time of it aren't you.

AFM Well I told my parents over easter. They were both really happy and cried. I was making some hot cross buns, and told mum that I'll just put these buns in the oven, and Oh yes, I have another bun in the oven. Big hugs ensued, and my dad almost crushed me!
My mum (who knew we were trying for a long time) said it isn't just a new chapter it's a whole new book.

Thanks Lorem and Kate! I'll be very happy to have it behind me, to be honest.

I was watching the news tonight and saw the footage of all the screaming teenage girls at that visiting boy band...I looked down at my belly and said "please be a boy"

Just thought I'd mention that target has their maternity essentials pack of leggings, singlet top and belly band on sale at the moment, down from $45 I think, to $25.

Has anyone bought anything maternity or for baby yet? I bought the belly belt as I'm bursting out of my work pants (more fat than baby related I think!).

Good luck tomorrow Indigo, look forward to hearing about it
My scan sounds pretty similar to Lorem's. Dr talks through what they see showing you everything on a big screen and then gives you a couple of happy snaps at the end. Everything was then sent off to the lab and I had the option of waiting (about an hour) or calling for the results later. I opted to go back to work and call later given I already had to wait over an hour for the actual scan. Also got a DVD which was at no extra cost, thankfully given scan was around $250 (I think).

Lorem, that was a really sweet way to tell your parents. They sound lovely & supportive. Chocolate eggs are an endangered species in my house too.

Frogga, M2one and Kate, thank you for your well wishes. MS has been much better today too.

Wishful.

Hi all,

NT scan today and went well, hooray! Low risk, even at my dodgy old age and all seemed normal and healthy so far. Woot woot! Bubs is measuring 2 days ahead but they said I could keep my existing due date.

Sounds like you guys got a better deal than I did. My scan was $320. I wonder how much Medicare will kick in? And the DVD wasn't included, it was extra (didn't bother getting it, will get one at the morph scan). I did get heaps of pictures. And a goodie bag, too!

Lorem, really lovely way to tell your folks. You guys won't believe it, but I still have Easter eggs left. I've been trying to restrict the intake so I don't put bubs into a diabetic coma already.

Wishful, puffsgirl, hope your ms is not too bad. I'm still queasy every day. Looking forward to it disappearing in the 2nd trimester.

Frogga, Kate, M2ODS, hope things are going well with you all.

M2ODS, when is your NT scan? It must be soon, given you're 2 days ahead of me?

When are people thinking of telling everyone? I'm suddenly feeling reluctant for some reason. I'll probably hold off from telling my boss for another couple of weeks.
