Hi All,

We went for the 20 week scan today!

Milenah (my infinitely better half) is actually at 21 weeks and 4 days today (wednesday), but with the mixups that have happened during her pregnancy and the (minor) complications earlier on, we are a little out of sync!

All of the Dims that Nurse/Sonographer took showed that every part of the baby (head/stomach/spine/thigh etc) were all in the normal range, the stomach was slightly larger, but better that, than smaller.

Once again, "Thank you to everyone that's offered words of wisdom, because I have spoken to a lot of people when thinking about having a baby or not! Everyones advice has been appreciated, and I'm convinced that you were all correct to talk me into this as a great thing to do!"

The link below is to her 9 week scan/news that I posted on here.

So today is just an update, but it is an important update for me personally, because it was after this scan that I allowed myself to get more excited about actually becoming a father due to complications earlier!

There are things left to do (the midwife neglected to do the 16 week blood test to check for Downs) so we're not fully in the clear just yet, but we both feel a whole heap better!!!

The photos below are "photos of a photo of a scan image", so once again, please accept apologies for the clarity!

Looks like he's already in a driving position!

Congrats to you both!

OK OK we can live without the scan, but CONGRATS STEVE!!!!

Congratulations to you both.

Yeh congrats but don't be so nervous about it all. I was watching F1 on the rip-off hospital tv just before my second son was born.

Excellent! Good luck and get the sleep now while you can

congratulations!!!

Congrats!

All the best, mate.

I wouldn't worry about this...

"... the stomach was slightly larger, but better that, than smaller..."

Sounds like it's inherited to me. Just hope he doesn't get his looks from you as well.
