I have been patiently awaiting the mail this week. I know that the hospital said it will be around a week for a letter or phonecall but I’ve been going mad worrying about the result.
Everytime the phone has rung, my heart has skipped a beat and not wanted to answer it.
Finally, this morning, a letter arrived from Addenbrookes advising the following:
“You will be pleased to hear that your recent maternal serum screening blood sample has shown that your baby is not at high risk for Down’s Syndrome or Spina Bifida”
PHEW!
I think I actually got as far as “You will be pleased to hear…” then stopped reading as I knew it was good.
Relief washed over me. Matt somehow knew what the letter was… I think the fact that I opened it right at the front door may have given it away.. and when he got to me I was jumping up and down then burst into tears.
Straight on the phone to my sister and then my Dad.. Both extremely pleased with the news.
Today feels good

Congratulations that’s wonderful news! My daughter is just 2 weeks behind you – March is going to be a very exciting month! Tomorrow is her blood test, so fingers crossed…
All the best for the rest of your pregnancy – but I’ll pop back and check how you are going
