Great news... with a little bit of worry

Well, the ultrasound went really well! And we saw our gorgeous bubba up on the screen, wriggling around - I was almost in tears! Such a beautiful sight, and so much relief - to see bub was ok, and measuring spot on!

The ultrasound wasn't very clear - too much fat to see through! :( But you get the general idea:



The was one thing I was a little worried about, once I read the report. The risk for trisomy 21:

With this pregnancy

Nuchal fold - 2.0mm
Trisomy 21 - 1 in 2123 (risk based on age alone is 1 in 964)
Trisomy 13+18 - 1 in 34464

With DD

Nuchal fold - 1.3mm
Trisomy 21 - 1 in 20251 (risk based on age alone is 1 in 1013)
Trisomy 13+18 - 1 in 33752

There is a huge difference between 2000 and 20000, and I can't understand why my risk is so much higher this time. Having said that, it is still low risk. *sigh* there is always something to worry about. I would see my GP about it but she is totally useless when it comes to specific pregnancy problems.

So other than that, the scan was wonderful :) Can't wait to see bub again at the next one!

Just remembered one other thing! I have an anterior placenta this time *boohooo* so I may not be able to feel bub kicking as early as I hoped.
