It’s fine, it’s fine! I just found out at 4.30 today, 16 days after having the amnio and everything is fine, foetus is dancing in delight! In retrospect, although waiting for the results was awful, and I was worried about the increased risk of miscarriage, the whole amnio experience was well worth it. I am now much happier than ever before, and feel I can relax into being pregnant rather than spend all my time going through different horrid scenarios. I realise that it may all go horribly wrong still but I am just not worried about it.
The foetus is busy beating me up from the inside. It feels like I am being prodded repeatedly and mostly happens when I sit up. I know it’s a really active baby from the last ultrasound at 16 weeks. I had thought that movements were supposed to feel gentle at this stage, cute even.
Also, I keep pulling the ligaments at the sides of my body, the ones that run from the inside of the hips to the side of the uterus. It happens when I roll from my back to my side in bed at night and the pain goes pretty quickly. I did think this was ok but then went and read something that said you should report all pain below your belly button. Literacy is not all its cut out to be and I don’t bother the midwife with it.
