Freaking out a bit
I am aware that the fear I am having is irrational but I am seeking similar stories and some re-assurance. I had a private scan which I thought was 9th week, it proved to be 13+3 weeks, despite rushing to book NHS appts, I missed the window for NT check against Down Syndrome. My blood test against the syndrome at 17 weeks came back low risk, my 20 week anomaly scan showed no concerns and everything is fine, including nuchal fold in norm. However, due to the fact I had no NT checked (I realised post private scan that it was just a basic one), I am kinda freaking out as I am 40, already feel guilty that I got my dates so wrong at the start, and the private examiner asked if I planned the blood tests which felt a bit odd. It might have been just a routine question, however it's stuck with me. Any similar stories? With happy ending of course 🙈😅

Were you not offered the Quad testing? That’s an alternative to the NT testing if the window of testing is missed.
If you mean the Down Syndrome risk blood test in 2nd trimester, I had it and came back low risk
Hello, I don't have experience but just didn't want to leave you on read. I totally understand your anxiety and sending hugs, the risks are low so keeping fingers crossed for you everything should be fine 🧡

Elective c section , but went into labour early
Has anyone had a c section scheduled, but then baby decided to come early? What happened then? Were they still able to do a c section?

Head at 97th percentile
Hi all,
Had my 28 week scan and baby was measuring 67th percentile overall, but head at 97th percentile.
Freaking out that something is wrong with their brain and have to wait until Thursday for my 32 week growth scan.
Had a loss at 24 weeks last year and don't think I could cope with more bad news :(
