@Mmax I am in the UK and cervical measurement is not routine here, unless you already lost a baby to incompetent cervix, which is ridiculous. So I am having mine measured privately next Friday.
As for appointments: ... please wish me luck. I am going in today to get the heart rate checked plus collect my blood test results (my consultant needs them, but the hospital where they took the blood was different)
I have been completely symptomless and smaller bump/smaller boobs for a week now (15w today), so going in just to check my baby's HB with a midwife. There should be no real reason to worry, but I read that going off symptoms can be a sign of mmc, so of course I worry.. so please, wish me luck
Me: 35 year old FTM, a busy city banker living in London, and a constant worrier. My DH: French guy, car fanatic, best husband ever. Our baby boy: Due on 17 April, currently 37 weeks. I can't believe it - I made it to full term!!!! Last measurement: 3150 gs at 37+1! This is going to be a big baby
@dam0ne4 Let us know how the test goes! And I know it is scary news but think about it.. 1:120 , whist massively higher than 1:10k, is still just one in a hundred and twenty. That is still small. I would be really scared too so I completely understand you... but try to think logically.. it's about picking out 120 women with the same results as you, putting them all in a room and picking just one at completely random. 119 women will walk away without any issues - think about it. your chances of being in that 119 is high! Please keep us updated.
And the risk is never zero.. I got a low risk.. but if I end up being affected, god forbid... it will not make me feel better knowing that it was only one in 5 thousand chance.
also, at any given time of pregnancy, we all are at a 1% risk of something going wrong. But then again - if you live in a big city, you have about 1:25 chance of sometime at one point being hit by a car or having a car accident, of which 1:150 chance that it will be fatal. Sorry for the doom and gloom, but my point is: you never know what life brings. Good luck!!!!!!
