Anatomy Scan

Looking for some reassurance from other mamas. ❤️

We had our anatomy scan today at 20 weeks and everything looked good overall. Baby girl is measuring around the 75th percentile, and my NIPT came back low risk. The only thing they noted was an EIF (echogenic intracardiac focus) in her heart. My doctor said she isn't concerned and that these are common, especially with a low-risk NIPT, but of course I'm still a worried mama.

Has anyone else had an EIF show up on their anatomy scan with a low-risk NIPT? Did you have any additional testing, and how did everything turn out?

Do you like driving when it’s dark?

When I was much younger, I loved late night drives. But as I’ve gotten older, I can barely see lol that 20/20 bison suddenly left me lol and I just hate driving at night now. Now, I just let my man do all the driving 😂.

Do yall feel the same or you love driving at night?

Birthday party planning trouble

My food plans just went out the window. And best part l have no idea who's coming invited 50 kids (elementary kids) and only 9 have responded. So my idea/plan was. Cook hot dogs and burgers at the park/playground on a grill that we have. Today decided to stop by to see how much shade there would be. And there's a big sign saying NO grills, NO open fire, NO electric grills basically do not cook here. So do l just order pizza or do l cook at my house (10 minutes from park) and bring it there?

Terrified of ripping down there..

I’m considering a C-section for a few reasons including PGP. But amongst a few of the major reasons are i’m afraid of ripping or messing up my vagina. I’ve heard some women say months after birth they’re still scared to look down there or that they took a mirror and looked one day and had a major jump scare 😰😱 It’s just the extra healing time, the complications i would have with post surgery pain management from medication i’m already on, and the added risk of a major surgery, plus a lot of benefits i would lose for myself and baby by not having a natural birth.. Does anyone have anything to add? 🙏
