Week 12

Brett and went in for Genetic Counseling and a "First Screen". This is a test for Down Syndrome, Trysomy 21, and 18 in the fetus. Ultrasound measuremnets are taken of the amount of fluid between the baby's spine and it's neck skin. These measurements, compared with my age, and my blood tests are used to determine the percent chance of such fetal disorders. My results came back as follows: 1 in 10,000 chance! That is very good and so we have decided not to do any further testing.

Here are some images from the 12 week ultrasound...
