The N/T scan went well today - I'm so relieved!
We met with the genetic counselor first. She was very nice, and informative, but it's not fun hearing about all the 'possibilities.' There was nothing alarming that came up, though.
I got to have all three ultrasound techs today - the first one is still in training, so she started out, then one of the certified women took over, then got called away and the third took over, so I got the full gamut. They all said everything looked good though. I have a 3-vessel cord, the baby has a nasal bone, and the nuchal thickness was 2.0 (under 2.5 is normal at this stage). We saw all the fingers, the spine, legs, face, etc. - everything was there that's supposed to be. The baby was really flipping around for a while there, so it took some time to get the neck measurement, but we got to see everything else in the meantime.
One of the certified techs looked to see if she could tell anything about the gender - she said it's still a possibility things will look different next time, but was thinking 60/40 odds for another girl. DH is really hoping for a boy (I think it would be neat to have one, too), but we will both be supremely happy with either, as long as it's healthy. At least this will keep him from getting his hopes up too high before next time, and maybe he'll even get a surprise.
H/B was 158, and the baby was measuring around 12w 6d (I'm 12 weeks today by LMP).
I'll get the blood test results back next week, and that's when they'll combine the u/s findings with the blood test, my age, weight, etc. and give me my "odds." So, I still have that to be nervous about, but I do feel much better after having good results today. I feel like I can finally tell the rest of my family this weekend! :-)
Thanks for all the good vibes! :-)
