So I had my next scan which was to screen for the likelihood of down syndrome, and typical pregnancy brain struck again. I lost my referral for the ultrasound and so I was a bit stressed and up till past midnight trying to find it. No luck. I couldn’t quite remember where the clinic was, […]
Had my blood test this morning. This test is for several reasons…….to check my blood type and a routing test for STD’s, and also testing that goes with my ultrasound next week. It was frustrating this morning though, cuz I’m not good with needles and I need to lay down in case I pass out. […]
