Screening 12 weeks

I had my blood test on Thursday last week and some of my results have been published but not the Downsyndrome, Edward’s and patau results which I’m most anxious about. Is this normal or should I be worried that they are the only two not published?

Depends on your hospital . I’m 31 weeks and my screening results still don’t show on badger app .
They’ll call you if there’s any concerns if not it’ll be just be a letter

Think mine was like that for a bit. They wrote to me with the results and the app updated a bit after that

When I was pregnant with our LG, they were never published on my badger notes. I just got a letter with the results saying no follow up needed for the results (from what I remember)

Have you had your scan yet? The bloods are in combination with the nuchal translucency measurement, it needs both to calculate a risk factor

Hospital bag

I’m pretty much packed, I’m just thinking that if I need to stay in for a few days I need to pack more clothes, what actual clothes would I need? Should I just get more button front pyjamas/nighties and then pack my home outfit?

Baby head not engaged

I’m 38w3days and had a midwife appointment this morning where they said her head isn’t fully engaged in the pelvis yet, it’s slightly to the left.. she didn’t seem to think it’s an issue but now I’m panicking a little, is this normal for a FTM at this stage? I’ve been doing so much walking and hip circles/bouncing on ball too!

Sweeps and inductions

I told myself that I wouldnt bother having a sweep this time round but I really really really want to avoid induction. Im only 38+4 so still have time... I just cant see myself going into spontaneous labour atm 😟 anyone have any thoughts that could help?

I dont want to hear about positive induction stories as this just isnt a route im willing to go down

Fetal heart rate

I had a private scan at both 7w 4d and again at 9w 4d and the baby heart rate was 147bpm at both scans, everywhere I read peoples babies are a lot higher at this stage so it's got me mega worried, baby was measuring exactly on track and sonographer said it was in normal range but something just isn't sitting right, I know I shouldn't compare but my daughter's was 169bpm at this pointanyone else had anything similar?
