Had a ultra sound scan this morning, and saw bubs for the first time, who showed off by doing twists and turns. Due date for arrival of seCd child is 25 May.
WLB (wiggly little blighter) was too small to have the scan to see if they are high or low risk of down's syndrome, and I can go back next week and have another scan to see the risk - they won't be able to say yes or no, just whether the risk is high or low. The thing is, if WLB is high risk, I'm not sure what I would do about it. They could do more invasive tests with needles if WLB is high risk, which can result in miscarriage, and the final result of the tests could be deciding whether to kill the child by abortion. I have no idea if I could make a decision on that - so at this stage I am thinking I will take a head in sand approach and do nothing. But I don't know, perhaps I should. Dither Dither Dither. And this is just vacillating about having another scan!, imagine if I had a real decision to make...
WLB looks bloody cute for something 44mm long. :)
