2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

Cheree that's such a lovely idea!

Omg just looked up harmony testing at the price!

 

[Serenjay]

Yeah it is quite pricey.. some NHS hospitals are offering it from April.

My work colleague had it done 8 weeks ago.. she said it was sent off to China or somewhere and she got all good results back and she was having a boy...

I have an early scan this afternoon at 2pm. These stomach pains and not settled and they want me seen. So nervous

Ooh interesting! It sounds great but really can't justify 500 quid or whatever lol.

 

[Serenjay]

Natasha I hope things will be ok xx

Tally I couldnt spend that.. and its not just the price, im not having some free tests on NHS.. im not having the downs test.. I have seen far too many people told they are having a downs baby and they were born healthy... im not putting myself through stress.. obviously if something was in my face on a scan we would have to address it.

I've had an awful morning trying to get seen. My local midwife (who told me last week they now deal with me) refused to see me, said I must contact maternity Triage and get a scan asap, after being put through four different people by triage I was rudely told they don't deal with me until I'm twelve weeks and less likely to miscarriage and gave me the number for Pregnancy Support Services. In the end I had to get my mum to phone them as I was a hormonal mess. My mum said the lady was lovely and couldn't do enough to help. She also apologised as both my local midwife should have known to give me her number and the triage department could have transferred me through as they are within the same building. Ridiculous. But yes, at least I'm getting scanned and will have some reassurance that all is okay - hopefully. I'm trying to be positive.

 

[Mrs Mel]

So pleased that the scans went well girls. Lovely news!

All the best for today Natasha, the waiting is horrible, but not too much longer to wait now. I hope all is well x

that's awful hun I am appalled at how they've treated you! I'm glad at least you're having a scan . Thinking of u hun fx everything is ok xxx

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

That's awful! my local hospital wont scan for anything... you would have to show up screaming in pain to even get a look in. Sounds typical oh the hospitals tbh... really grinds my gears the way these places talk to people, like they are doing us some great favour! grrrr

 

[Serenjay]

Aww Natasha how horrid.. glad your mum managed to get it sorted though..sometimes us stepping back and allowing someone else to talk for us is better... Hope all goes well xx

If it was sent off to China it wasn't Harmony she had as their labs are based in the States. Glad she got good results to put her mind at rest though. Maybe it was one of the other genetic tests such as Panorama, Materni21 or Verifi. Although I thought they were all US-based companies too.

 

[Serenjay]

Oh must of been panorama as that sounds familiar.. we are in uk.. she said China.. im sure she did or it was pregnancy brain.. it was around 5 weeks ago actually she told me before I left work ill. lol

 

[cheree89]

My poor little guy has a stomach bug. The older one had it on sunday, but he only threw up a couple of times. The baby can't keep anything down.

 

[tallybee]

Ah noo poor LO! It's horrid to see them so ill

I've told my Gran about the baby and she is happy for us I was a bit worried as she's rather traditional and would probably rather we were married lol. But she's happy as long as we are happy

Chickened out of skyping my dad (he lives abroad so can't see him in person) so emailed him instead along with the link for the Thailand pics lol. Remains to be seen how he reacts.

Will call my brother later as he'll be at work till tea time.

Kev was going to tell his parents today, not sure if he has yet (he works with his dad)

[Natasha2605]

There was a gestational sack measuring 5-6 weeks and no baby. I am back next week for a follow up scan and if not improvement they'll discuss ways to ''manage'' it. I am absolutely devastated. I KNEW there was something not right.

For gods sake, who has a VISIBLE bump but no baby inside it. Hate life right now.
