Jeez Indigo you really have been through it!!

We were told at our 10 week scan than they don't do the nuchal test unless you go private. We were offered the blood test (or at least we will be, after 14 weeks) but they were at pains to say it wouldn't give you a yes/no answer. I don't know what we're going to do. Have any other girls in the UK been told they don't do the nuchal scan?

Indigo, what a horrific experience for you, I really hope all is well, pleases do keep us posted.

Conina our NHS only just started offering it in the last year, lots of my friends have paid for at the nuchal scan privately, costs about £100 I believe. They combine the bloods and the nuchal scan to give you your risk factor.

 

[MySillyGirls]

Yikes, Indigo,that sounds terrible!
We will have both the bloods and the ultrasounds on Tuesday when I am 12 wk 1 day. Apparently, the specialist office I am visiting likes to do them between 12 week and the end of 13 week. I would have preferred the 11week.

Anyone get any gender guesses during their scan? My friend did...they told her they thought girl and they were right.

Indigo, so sorry you had a rough go with the CVS... I have everything crossed for you that bean is OK I have never heard of such a complicated course following CVS... Please keep us posted hun, I hope all the fluid leak and bleeding has stopped for good

 

[Conina]

Is anybody else looking in the mirror at the minute and thinking "Oooh is that a bump???" then thinking "No, I've just been gorging myself on chocolate for the entire month of December"...

(And it hasn't stopped - back to work today and there's STILL three tins of Roses sitting right outside my office...)

 

[Indigo77]

Conina...

I keep looking for a bump....several times a day....

There is nothing there and I will be 14 weeks on Friday.

 

[Conina]

But you've been so sick also. There's probably a bump there, but you've lost weight so they've cancelled each other out!

I did get measured for a bra today and I've gone up 2 sizes . They may actually explode before this baby arrives...

 

[Indigo77]

I refuse to wear a bra!

 

[Conina]

I refuse to wear a bra!

Seriously, if I hadn't been big beforehand, and ginormous now, I wouldn't either. As soon as I'm home from work it's off. In fact, DH has just said his friend might be calling round and I said "Does that mean I have to put my bra back on???"

 

[Ferne]

Hi Indigo,
I am hoping your baby is healthy and safe. You've been through enough this trimester.

I am pretty sure scarves were invented for this very reason.


Junebug.... I have been dry for the last 2 days.... I am still sick and tired so I am assuming everything is fine until my scan on Thursday.

Ferne & everyone.....thanks &

Ps: Anyone wearing maternity clothes yet?

 

[Indigo77]

OMG....My Fetal Doppler has arrived! Wish me luck!

Ok, I have never had any boobs. In my first pregnancy I was warned, "WEAR A BRA AT ALL TIMES! (even in bed. at night. while sleeping.)" by multiple know-it-alls. My boobs went from small B to a respectable D. Still, not wearing a bra provided me with a little comfort and when you can't sleep due to somebody kicking your ribs, every bit counts.

They deflated. Not totally but enough. Now they're a little lower. Cautionary tale? Or inevitable at my age? I'm sure the know-it-alls have a point and wearing a bra might have helped. A little. But still I don't know that it would've helped enough to justify the discomfort.

 

[Ferne]

OMG....My Fetal Doppler has arrived! Wish me luck!

I've heard those can be a little tricky to use at first.

 

[Miss_C]

I am sooooooo jealous of the smaller boobage people - I have gone from a en e for excellent to HH for Holy Hell!! The most growing is done in the first 12 week so we should have reached the limit now until the milk come on and probably heading for a good greif at that stage cos they just fill up from the top then!!

 

[klsltsp]

good luck indigo!!

haha Miss C... wow you are big!! haha pre pregnancy I was a 34 A LOL I am now almost in a C cup LOL I feel huge haha my OH says I have mini stripper boobs LOL

And I totally have a bump.. christmas eve I had to go buy some pants because I didn't have any that fit.. other than yoga pants... it's about right though, I was in maternity clothes at 11 weeks with my last so making it to 12 weeks was good!!!

 

[MySillyGirls]

LOLLLL! Miss C, OMG, I am with you. I didn't think it was possible mine could get bigger. My bump will never really show since my boobs will tent it.

 

[MySillyGirls]

Oh, and kls, I am totally showing too. All my pants are tight. Fortunately, I had lost a little weight before I got pregnant and went down a size, but kept my old pants.

 

[klsltsp]

haha my sillygirls, I too had lost weight and I had kept my pants one size up... those were the ones I wasn't fitting in anymore LOL my OH actually said that it was time to get new pants... hahaha a little sad that I had out grown my fat pants.. oh well it's all worth it!

 

[MySillyGirls]

I am sure that by the time I am a "peach" I'll be out of my fat pants...lol!!!
