My pregnancy wasn't very straight forward and when i was about 11 and a half weeks i had a pain in my side, straight away i went to the doctors, by now i had already become so attatched to my child, the woman i saw told me she would book an emergancy scan for two days later. My mam and ryan came with me to the scan and ryan came in to the room, that was the first time i saw my daughter and she was absolutly perfect, she couldn't keep still! This was the moment when i realised how much my baby meant to me. I had what was meant to be my first scan the next day and the woman who had did the emergancy scan told me even though everything was ok to still go the next day and find out my dates, so we went down and was told that the woman who had scanned me the day before had written on my notes that she had noticed a thickness on the back of the neck what did that mean? Why didn't she tell us that when we were there? So i had another scan and the nurse told me that she thought it must have been a mistake because everything looked ok to her. Still the consultant came to see me and at this point i was worried sick, she was explaining to me about how my baby could be down-syndrome and the tests i could do to check if she was, she gave me a few weeks to decide if i wanted the tests or not and said when i came back she would scan me herself and have a look. It finally came to 15 weeks, we went back and this time they let my mam in the room aswel, i had convinced myself that everything was ok and deep down i new my baby was fine. My mam had spoke to me and said i needed to really think about what i was going to do, if my baby was down-syndrome, how would i cope, i had my whole life in front of me. I know she was just looking out for me. Although i hadn't really told anyone i knew i wasn't going to have the tests and risk losing my baby, she meant to much to me to lose her, and i new if there was a problem i wasn't going to end the pregnancy, i just couldn't do that i already loved her so much. So the consultant scanned me and to my relief everything looked ok they said she was very healthy and again wouldn't stop moving. After that my mam said to me that after seeing the scan she was so proud, she felt awful for saying those things and i think at this point it was when she really realised she was having another grandchild.
