all being well due in may! bump buddie needed

[lpjkp]

Owww wow charmed!!!!! That is a definite bump forming, and that's definitely because of a happy little baby in there!!!!

I think those are awesome results jules!!! Don't worry so much about the trisomy risk...if it makes you feel better, that means you at a 0.25% risk and you are 99.75% likely to have a completely healthy baby! Sometimes I wonder whether all of these tests are really worth it, you know? Or whether they can cause unecessary worry and stress?

I've added a piccie of my bump progression...from 4 weeks to 10 to 11 (Today!)...I think a lot of it is bloating, but I can definitely feel a little bit of rounding going on down there! I don't have toned abdominal muscles though, so I'm fully expecting to get a bump earlier than the 17/18 week mark they predict for those having their first child!x

Aw ur bump is huge!!! I freaked last night when I wiped was little red blood strain but like not wet blood with dicharge had a good look and with a mirror near top of clit there is a small mm 2cm high tear going upto bikini line and was bled a little! Phew I was so scared but ouch it is so sore!! Xx

I agree. 0.25% is low. I wonder then why they nudge you to do amnio if you're around 1 in 200-300 risk? Following that logic surely a risk-adjusted percentage would be of more use? Anyway... Made the stupid mistake of googling tri 13 and 18 to find out more and found a woman's story of her baby who had 18 and she opted to terminate at 18 weeks. I was sobbing my heart out when my mum found me and she went nuts (out of concern as she's a lovely mum). Hard clinical facts are completely fine with me but when you stumble onto things that have the emotional angle it's hard reading.

I'm sure everything will be ok jules....you've already beaten that statistic that you're more likely to have a child with downs, so why would this0.25%chance be any different?

My advice? Stay away from evil dr google! He is designed to pull on your heart strings and make you worry! You, and baby, are just fine and I don't want you worrying until 16 weeks to find that out...the stress won't be good for you and baby hun, enjoy this pregnancy because I'll stress again that there is a 99.75% chance everything is fine! Xx

Yeah totally.... Just a bummer thinking about it really. Hope I can relax about it esp as I've now read that the scans can pick up a lot of the abnormalities but not all and without amnio it may be missed... Doc did just say I can opt to do the amnio now for a definitive answer but can you imagine if you did it, the baby was fine and then over the next few days the amnio brought on a miscarriage?

Ok, enough from me on this one; I'm going to shut up about it!

Thanks for your kind words x

 

[charmed]

good luck clariy cant wait see photos!

As for me the scan will be enought with bloods, im only 24 so concerned low risk, i personally wouldnt have the more invasive tests done as would make me a even more nervous wreck and worry over every thing so better to just go by scans and bloods personally. I dont think id want to do anything to stop pregnancy if had high result anyway.

Wishing you all well. Todays bit of cramping tum ache, still windy and burpin boobs much less sore today thou n few thigh pains..... hope alls ok. just got fri sat sun to go then ill know for sure!!!

Good luck with your scan today claireyfairy!

I'm getting more and more scared the closer I get to my scan on 30th. Was anyone else the same?!

Not getting much in the way of symptoms really, other than tiredness, crampy tummy in an afternoon, and super sore boobs!

How's everyone else feeling?

 

[lpjkp]

I'm feeling extremely tired today Not good for needing to push myself to do university work! I keep thinking "sleep!" but I know I'll never wake up if I do!

My sickness seems to be easing a little...apart from still vomiting every morning, in general the last couple of days I haven't been getting the all day nausea (Yay! Thanks for the break!)

My boobs are still extremely sore though, and I've had a bit of a sore tummy today, but I think that's just everything moving around and getting a little squashed...can't wait for second trimester and hopefully starting to feel a bit more like myself again!x

If i had a conclusive amnio that it was trisomy 13 or 18, i'd be terminating immediately. Most that do have these die within hours of birth. Couldn't handle that x
