The Baked Bean has a blog!


Friday 10th July - the first scan
The nurse at the fertility clinic suspected that 6 weeks (4 weeks after the embryo transfer) might be a bit early, and she was right. In this ultrasound scan you can clearly see the amniotic fluid (black blob) and the yolk sac which feeds the baby until the placenta forms (looks like a wedding ring inside the amniotic fluid). However, the baby itself isn't visible, so another scan is booked for the following week.

Parental development: Julie is over the vinegar and sauerkraut stage and is marginally off her food. However, she is often thirsty and wants at least one banana smoothie per day. Ian still can't quite believe it.
