And the 12 week scan that you did eventually have with this consultant who does her own scans?
Uh-huh.
How was that?
That was fine. I initially, was very, very nervous, almost to the stage of panic attack nervous. Obviously my partner was with me. When we went in to have the scan I told her what had happened and said that I was very, very concerned and I didn't like having scans and, obviously, about my previous experience, and she was fantastic.
She, as soon as she started the scan she made me feel comfortable, and as soon as she started she just said, “Oh, the baby's beautiful” so I'd, although she didn't say everything's fine, she immediately acknowledged that the baby was a baby and was beautiful, so different treatment altogether.
Beautiful, whatever happened.
Yes, yeah.
And was she able to reassure you at that point?
Yes.
How did she sort of couch that reassurance, because obviously she can't be …?
She just said, “I can't say 100% that everything's fine,” She said, “But as far as, I've got no worries at all about this baby.” So she made me, she just spoke to me like a human, so she made me aware that she can't, she couldn't say 100% that everything was fine, but as far as she was aware she had no worries at all about the baby. |
