Our little muffin had its heart scanned today and was good enough to give us a wave so we could count its fingers - they are all there!
Largely positive in that the consultant fetal cardiologist thinks we can eliminate the most serious heart defect commonly found with Down Syndrome babies; still need to reserve judgement on whether it has a less severe defect, which could still require surgery at less than 3 months old, although these defects often heal themselves pre birth apparently so we are keeping calm for now. So back for another cardio scan in 4 weeks to take another look. We also had a detailed 'top to toe' scan and everything looked normal which is also good news at this stage. Next stop whooping cough jab for me and 20 week scan for baby.
Hope everyone is doing well
Xx

Hi sipidania. Just wanted to make sure you start to talk to your little "Muffin" and play him/her lots of music as she/he will be able to hear you shortly. Good luck with the injection and I will be thinking of you as your 20/40wks scan nears. Diane
