Update

I'm notoriously bad at remembering to update my blog.

But I feel I should get some of this down. We are having a little boy:-)

I have to wonder at the medical proffenions mindset though, when we recieved the nuchal scan results suggesting a high chance of Edwards, and Downs syndrome, we questioned it. I knew that the scan had not been done properly, but even when I tried to explain this to an OB my GP refferd me to, he said that "These scans are rarely wrong, and the best way to check is with an amnio"

Wrong. The best way to check, is to have a bloody look at the films, but he couldn't be bothered seeing me.

We refused to have the amnio done, and waited until 19 weeks for the Women's and Children's to have a look.

Guess what?? The high Nuchal measurement was a typo!! Had this expert actualy sat down with us, and had a look at the film, he could have seen that the measurement was 1mm, not 4mm, and the report itself was wrong.

We'd just like to thank all the medical ppl who couldn't be arsed to double check the findings, and who wanted to go straight to a test that carries a risk of killing the baby. Shame on you!!

A HUGE thankyou to our independant midwife, who said that she thought that my instincts were correct, and that there was something up with the results.
