Well we made it up to London with me only bursting into tears once on the train...we took the easy option to find the hospital and took a cab...less than £4 and I arrived without feeling totally shattered, always a plus at the moment!
Evelinas Childrens Hospital is an amazing place and to be honest it's the noisiest hospital I've ever been in! We did learn it was named for Evelina Rothschild who suported the original Childrens Hospital at Guys before it flew over to St THomas's on Broomsticks on Hallow E'en 2005.
Once we'd gone up to the Arctic Floor (Floor 1) and found the Polar Bear Clinic we filled in some forms and the good old maternity notes were whisked away. Shortly after we were called in by the Chief Sonographer, Annette who was totally lovely and extremely calming - exactly what I needed and it helped that she had actually read thfough some of my notes so had some idea of everything I've been through. And even when the baby didn't want to do what she needed she stayed very clam with both of us and tried to coax him into moving where she needed him to go.
Once Annette had got as much Data as she could the tape was shown to the Consultant, Dr Millar who then came in to do a scan himself and reassure us that there were no real issues to worry about. The heart is beating at the rate it should and the blood flow in and out is perectly normal...the discrepancy in size for the arteries is nothing to worry about right now! The baby will be checked after birth but we don't have to go back to London right now :)
