NT Scan fail

So I was at the doctor for 3 hours today. THREE.

They didn't see me until 45 minutes after my appt time. Then baby was super uncooperative. LO was in literally every position except the one they needed. Super mobile and wiggly but REFUSED to lay on its back.

We tried for a half hour at which point they had me get up, move around, and talk to the doctor. Cue attempt 2 and same thing happened.

Then they went to draw my blood and blew the first vein, rolled the second, and finally got a super slow drip out of the third.

The tech said everything with baby looks really good despite not getting the needed shot so that's good.

Here's a good one of baby on its tummy and a really creepy face shot. :)

    They're not going to have me come back. I'm 13w2d right now and the max they'll do is 13w6d and they're fully booked. We're just going to rely on the bloodwork. Neither of us has a family history that includes any chromosomal abnormalities and I'm not AMA (29 right now, 30 by birth). They explained that the testing will now tell us with about 85% certainty instead of 92%.

  • That was almost my experience! Except baby finally got their act together and flipped over to get that measurement. I'm sorry yours remained stubborn!!

    And oh good lord, I don't know what I would do if they didn't get the vein right on the first stick; I can't handle repeated puncturing!
