OK, I went to the hospital on Monday.
They told me the same stuff I had already heard, the baby is still measuring too small. Its still in an awkward posistion. I agreed too have the amniocentesis, even though it holds a risk of a mis-carriage. It was the most painful thing I have ever been through, and I have a tattoo'd back.

Anyway the main scan for defects came back yesterday, it doesn't have Downs Syndrome, which is a big relief. The Dr's are still checking my blood for Spina Bifida, etc... That should take a few more days to get the results through.

The Dr who done the scan on Monday was really concerned about a hole they have found in my placenta, which may not be letting enough food through. But he is also worried about where the babe is lying low down, as it seems Im ready to go into labour at any moment.

He was really blunt with me, and told me he can't promise I will be left with a healthy baby, and there is a chance of a still birth.
So in short, I still haven't received any good news.

Thanks for all your support.

It means a lot to me.

Complications are always going to be a worry but they are just preparing you for the worst case scenario, just in case. Im sure your going to be a great Mum.
