We had our nuchal translucency scan in Cardiff on Wednesday and thankfully everything is looking okay! Mr Beattie (who is the nicest man) said the nuchal fold looked "tiny" and we could see Brian waving his/her legs around and gulping amniotic fluid. Of course I burst into floods of tears as soon as it was obvious the baby was okay in there. The baby turned to face us at one point and the whole thing was just wonderful. On the basis of the measurements he was fairly sure there was nothing to worry about
We got the revised results on Saturday after the blood test and they confirmed that our risk of the three conditions was tiny and there's no need for any follow-up - yippee! I'm officially in the second trimester now which is a bit of a shock as I've spent the last 13 weeks hardly letting myself believe it. Right on cue I feel much more lively, no sickness and even found myself earlier worrying that I was feeling so good, but a quick spell of palpitations and dizziness sorted that out
