About two weeks Broody. Been one week tomorrow. Thanks or all the best wishes.
Hi ladies,
Cupcake so glad you had that harmony test first- it's such a relief it's available now. I have a feeling your bubs will be fine- the nuchal test was normal after all but some women's hormones play havoc with the BT.
You are so right about taking a hard road to a baby -- i hate to say it but some ladies don't know how easy they have had it !!!
I hope once the results come in you can start to enjoy being pregnant. For me it's only now that I can feel bubs rolling around that it actually feels real (plus my belly which has popped).
Broody,how is your girl going? I have been thinking about her now im going to be 28 weeks-that she is such a fighter being born so early. A true miracle.
Mk I can't wait till you have the IUI. I will be cheering you on x

Hey Aleja! Fia's doing really well, thanks! She's been off oxygen since Monday and so far so good. 
Still has desatts at times (they're almost always after feeds)(but not after every feed) but she's so good the rest of the time that they're happy to leave her off. Taking a few feeds with a bottle everyday too and was 5lbs 7oz at last weighing. So thrilled with her! 
Here's a pic of the little smiler! (although it was probably just gas!
)

The nurse on Friday thought it's be at least another 2 weeks but we'll see. She has to stop desatting and be taking all her feeds from bottle/breast. Then she must pass her carseat test (spend a few hours in the seat without desatting so they know she can keep her airways open while she's in it) Don't want to push them for a date because then I can't be disappointed if she's not home by then, iykwim?

Desatting is when the oxygen levels in her blood go below 90%. It's usually caused by shallow breaths, breath-holding, not absorbing enough oxygen into the bloodstream etc. Now that she's bigger her lungs are also bigger and so she's desatting much less. That was the reason she was on oxygen for so long - she used to have a few deep desatts every day where she'd drop way down to 40/50 or even lower sometimes. Was scary the first few times because they're colour changes too and they turn quite grey. Amazing how fast you get used to something though! Her last big desatt was almost a week ago now so hopefully we're almost out the other side! Dr just came to give Fia her first vaccinations - she was such a brave girl!
How are you feeling Aleja? Can't believe you're 28 weeks already!
MrsP - how's Penny doing?
MrsG - how's your little bean doing?
Cupcake - hope you're not finding the wait for the results too long.

Aww broody she's so cute & that looks like a smile to me! 
her weight gain is brilliant! Hope she gets hope soon
Penny is fine thanks, she had her vaccinations this morning & is needing lots of cuddles this afternoon, not a happy girl! But she's coming on great, was weighed 2 weeks ago, still only 7lb 8oz lol. But her face is filling out & her thighs. Smiles a lot on a morning but unfortunately colic on an evening & she screams!

Hi there,
Broody you have become a NICU expert for sure! It must be a blessing each time you see her improving.
MrsG oh wow your pregnancy is going quickly, well it feels like it for me! So boy is your gut feeling? They are usually right I think. I always knew we would have a boy !
MrsP did you go to antenatal classes ? Was it worth it? I am giving it a miss as its very expensive at the hospital I am going to. I would rather spend that money on something for the baby

Our antenatal classes were booked for when I was about 32 weeks so needless to say we didn't go! DH was so happy to escape them! Anyway, we survived the delivery fine without them and I'm sure there's plenty of informational videos on YouTube that would be just as good if you ran a search?The weekend before Fia was born I had actually ordered a book/cd from Amazon about hypnobirthing that I was really interested in trying but the day before she was born I got an email from them saying they were cancelling my order as there was a problem with the supplier! Looks like Amazon knew before I did that she was going to arrive early!!!
MrsG - can't believe you're 20 weeks already! My gut feeling was for a girl so you could well be right!!

Aleja we had 2 free antenatal classes, now called preparing for baby classes& tbh they weren't much cop. One was all about breastfeeding, which is fine but they could've combined it with other important stuff instead of spending a whole 2 hr session on it when it only took 50 mins! The other was just about hospital, birth & pain relief, nothing to do with how to actually care for baby which I was surprised at. Luckily I had books & knew a lot about babies!
Broody I was wanting to try hypnobirthing too, I got a book but no cd but found it hard to get into & never finished it!

Oh good your ante natal class stories have made me feel a bit better with my decision not to go to any!!
When I tell people we ain't going I get a mixed response.. Some people swear by it others think it was a waste of time .
I've got a few books and plenty of friends who are new mums I'm sure they can give me done tips !
