Well thank fuck for that.

Baby scan was perfect, with no issues detected. Growth is okay and specialist thinks it's extremely unlikely she'll be affected. We're not completely out of the danger zone (one more test in progress to confirm the status of the infection) but consultant (who was awesome) thinks we don't have anything to worry about.

Even gave us a load of 3D scans of baby (she looks like her brother).

Full on tears of relief from all the family here. What a rollercoaster.

Heartfelt thanks to all of you for the good vibes - they most assuredly did the trick.

Just came in to say that we had the exact same scare. It can be a big fucking deal, but for us it was nothing. We have a very happy, healthy 20 month old boy. I do hope it all works out well for you.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Great news! I'm glad I'm done having kids, the anxiety can be so tough at times. My wife had an abruption with 2 different kids... scary shit.

A friend of mine is around 30 weeks and recently got some high quality scans and there was some nervousness about what they saw. Of course the parents being worried wanted to know what it could be so the doctor walked through in terrifying detail what it could be. They eventually got another scan, and everything was great - turns out the baby just was taking it's time growing right.

Anyway, the point is, at one point it came up that because of the extremely high quality imaging and the bombardment of tests we have available to us, people get way too much info when it comes to pregnancy. Turns out taking a baby to term often has these little hiccups. When my mom had my younger sister 20 years ago though, she went to get one low res ultrasound and that was basically it. Mind you she's from rural Ethiopia, but I don't remember so many tests and checkups and images a while back.

I sound like a crumudgeon, and I'm really not - I think we're doing a great job at having healthy babies in the west, and all of the advancements in modern medicine are awesome, I just know that people are going to panic if even the slightest thing is off about a pregnancy, which is a sad side effect of knowing too much.

I'm really glad for you OP, and I hope when that baby comes it's the best day of your life.

Glad to hear it man. Baby girls are the best, as the father of one who wasn't sure he would enjoy it but damn sure I do.

Not sure if you're religious but prayers definitely help in this regard. God protects little children <3

Congratulations!

I'm glad you updated, I probably wouldn't have thought about this thread again but it is still nice when people come back and provide a conclusion.

Also, your baby is named "Klara" now. Just accept it.

So pleased for you Sika!

That second picture with the hand on head is exactly the same as one we took on first(ish) meeting.
