20 weeks scan - part two - joy, joy joy!

just read this

which I think you may have posted, Ericka, but maybe not, it seemed very
matter of fact, this is what you should do, rather than these are the
options, but whatever I see no reason for U/S in two weeks time, at least
not for growth reasons, right now I can see two other reasons, i) to check
my right kidney and ureter, which given the pain it's been giving me today
might not be stupid ii) to check cervical length, I thought things had got
better random contractionwise, but I've had quite a few whoppers over the
past few days, mostly infrequent, so not abnormal just annoying, but if they
get any more frequent I'll be much more relaxed if I am reassured my cervix
is nice and long.

PS: Did you know that definately become defiantly if you
transpose the a and n, and omit the e? Proofreadign is
such an art. :-)

Ah, yes, but definately should be spelled "definitely". But
definately/defiantly is funny, nevertheless!
