Mental disturbances?
Well tomorrow is my amniocentesis. For those lucky few who have no idea what that is, let me share: I'm 17 weeks pregnant. Baby is about 5-5 inches long (but curled up), and is kicking, swallowing, sticking out his/her tongue, even having a wee if the mood strikes. Tomorrow at 1:30 I'll be reclined on a table and, with the help of a sonogramme, the doc will insert a 6-inch long or so needle into my abdomen, into the uterus, and suck up a couple of tubes of amniotic fluid.
For those of you with a needle problem, you may now wipe the sweat off your upper lip.
The purpose of this act is to grab a few of baby's cells out of the amnion and test them for chromosomal abnormalities.
I have no problem with needles or blood or whatever. My problem is with the test. Will my baby be OK? Will he/she have the proper number of chromosomes? Will he/she be free of spinal cord problems? I traditionally whip myself into a frenzy beginning a few weeks before I get this proceedure done. You can imagine the state I'm in right now: the day before.
To help calm myself I took this test that I found. I can now rest easy that I am, indeed, insane:
*whew* at least I don't have that to wonder about anymore!
Wish me luck for tomorrow.

Hi Blue!
I found your blog from FF and love it! Thanks for the cool link. It's nice to confirm that we all have personality disorders. :)
Good luck with your amnio tomorrow. Let us know how it goes!
