So on a regular basis I’ve been pregnant, people have been commenting on how “chill” I’ve been about the complete factor. I’ve been consuming what I’ve been craving, rolling with the morning sickness and fatigue (which is starting to go away!), stopped finding out baby books and internet sites 24/7 and am making an attempt to settle down considerably further.
Bella helps to settle down me 🙂
Because of deep down, all of this kinda scares the bejeezus out of me and I can see myself worrying all of the being pregnant away if I drown myself in too many “what-ifs” and data overload.
This entire time, behind my ideas, I’ve been praying that each little factor is okay and healthful and that nothing’s incorrect. Sooner than I hit my 12 week mark, I was afraid to turn into too hooked as much as the kid, merely in case the worst attainable state of affairs occurred.
Then I hit 12 weeks and the background concern didn’t go away.
In actually one in all my baby books, I be taught:
“Welcome to life as a mom or father. You may ALWAYS been worrying any extra.” Thanks for the encouragement, e-book.
Certainly one of many points which have been lingering in my ideas is the ultrasound and genetic testing now now we have tomorrow. By the ultrasound, the technician measures the once more of the kid’s neck to examine for Down Syndrome and following which may be a blood examine which screens for genetic anomalies.
Nevertheless proper right here’s the issue:
-The blood examine might presumably be a false optimistic, which could open up a Pandora’s subject of concern and as well as end in an amniocentesis, which I undoubtedly don’t want to have. (A 4 inch needle through my stomach? Um, no thanks)
-There may nonetheless be one factor incorrect with the kid that the blood examine couldn’t detect.
After talking with the Pilot about it, we decided to do the ultrasound first, they normally’ll be able to inform from there if one thing is clearly incorrect. In that case, we’ll push forward with the blood work and go from there. If the ultrasound seems good, we’re forego the blood work.
Fingers crossed that each little factor is snug and healthful in there
Maybe they’ll be able to detect if it’s a boy nugget or girl nugget, too 😀
