Just waiting....
So far I still don't feel pregnant except for the fact I'm always tired and am starting to have some aches and pains. And unfortunately...nausea has started popping in more frequently. I have the weirdest morning sickness, I'm in the shower and I have gag reflexes or dry heaves! But only in the shower! Strange! In 2 weeks we're having the NT Scan. This is a non-invaisve screening for Downs Syndrome. I'm not at any high risk for carrying a child with Downs, but we talked about it and we'd like to see how Baby's doing and if there is a high risk, we'll be a little more prepared than not knowing at all. I won't do any invaisive testing, unless it's absolutely necessary, but those tests are usually optional...as is this Scan. I had a finger prick last week, and then in 2 weeks I go for an u/s...that's the extent of the NT Scan. They take your blood work and the u/s results and tell you the ratio of your chances of having a child with Downs. I'm of course praying all is well and good, and have every confidence that our baby is healthy, but am quite exited to see our little one again! (Otherwise I'd have to wait til 18 weeks) I'm too impatient for that!!!
