6 weeks today. Just got back from the DR's office. He wants me to see the Haematologist and ask him if he wants me to be seen by an Obstetrician down at the hospital, or whether I can see one close to home..... i.e. whether this chap has a working relationship with anyone in particular. It's good news to know that I'll be cared for by an OB this time (rather than the dreadful midwife "care" in south london that I was subjected to last time). I called the Haematologist office when I got home and hopefully they will be calling back soon with some information as to when I can be seen, because I'd like to actually see someone soon. One thing I'm keen to find out from an OB is whether I can have the Nuchal Fold Scan here in Canada - this is a scan around 10-12 weeks which can detect percentage probability of chromosome abnormalities (something to do with the neck/spine area of the baby). I was lucky to have it with D, it had just been introduced in London. I'd much rather that than the rather dodgy AFP blood test which seems to give no end of false positive results to people.
