14 Weeks

14 weeks today. Yesterday we had our scan. It took ages! Its all getting quite complicated in there. All 3 babies are still going. All have healthy heartbeats and anatomically look fine.

The poorly baby looks better than it did. Its nucal measurement is now normal. The consultant says that either it IS fine or both twins have something going on. He's suggesting amnio to check for chromosomal issues.

We're due back on the 14th for another scan to see it anything else is going on. At the moment though we may have 3 healthy babies...further scans/tests should help us find out. The consultant has said that our best chance for a healthy full term pregnancy is to reduce both twins.

My mum rang afterwards (I'd texted her on the way home with an update).
'I don't know what to say,' she said, 'I mean its positive but it makes things harder doesn't it?'

Yes mum thanks for that.

The problem that I now have is that after watching them on the screen with the wiggling hands, kicking feet, little hearts, flexing spines and little noses I want them all - Mr Logic has left the building.

Who needs logic?! You have to take each day as it comes, and that's what you've been doing. You can't keep thinking about planning and "what ifs", just wait until you get advice from your Consultant after the further scans and tests.

I hope you're really enjoying being pregnant. You've wanted it for so long and you be able to enjoy the whole experience. Don't worry what other people say, like your mother, just do what is right for you and the bump.

So glad things are looking well after the scan. Still so scary. I am hoping that everything is still well on the 14th. And that if you choose to do the amnio it goes well. HUGS!

Hi Claire, although I've been MIA from blogging lately, I purposely popped in to read your blog to see how you're doing.

Wow - 14 weeks - fantastic! My thoughts and best wishes are with you - sending you big hugs.
