Ooh so excited just received my date for my 12 week scan through the post!! Followed by a consultant…

The fluid behind the neck/spine?

@winterbaby95, yes as far as I know x

@hawkie75 Ah well they just measure it and you'll get the results back within a few weeks :) Nothing to worry about :) You don't have to have it done if you don't want to :) I didn't want it done..but I accidentally agreed to it and didn't change it :) X

@winterbaby95, thanks Hun, bit nervous about it I dint know why, I defo wanted it doing though xxx

i refused having it done . what will be will be in my eyes. best of luck hun whens your appointments xx

@jod1303, thanks Hun, 20th April, I'll be posting a pic of my baba xxx 😊😊

@jod1303 Yup :) felt the same way :) Some people like to know though so they can be prepared. My mum was high risk with my sister and she doesn't have downs :) I was low risk...but could've had a downs child either way. I know some people use it as a way of aborting early if there's problems. I would never do that xx

I did it mainly because im older and would want to be prepared if something was wrong. Luckily she's fine X

best of luck hun not too long😘 xx @winterbaby95 they arent that accurate either some people would think oh shit high risk im goin to abort and the child may not have had down syndrome 😑 each to their own i guess

@jod1303 I know :) the results are inconclusive :) xx

@jod1303, @ljay @winterbaby95 thanks guys, I am older and just want to take every precaution I guess and know what I'm dealing with, luck of the draw tho I guess, I'm keeping firmly positive 😊😊😊

no need to explain yourself hun just saying i didnt have it done 😊😘

I had it done hun they measure spine and neck during the scan and then do a blood test after .... what wil be wil be but I wanted to know what to expect either way @hawkie75 x

@jod1303, @mrsripper thanks guys, it's lovely to have support, I live this app as haven't told everyone yet so it's nice I can speak to people in similar situations xx 😘
