Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

[Gemie]

Tower- Hi lovey my twinnie friend!! I hope you don't mind, but I told the OB doc I saw today, mine was not there today, about your tests and he said to please tell you that since you are well under 35 that with just the NT scan alone they shouldn't have said it was bad news. They have to add the statistics of the blood proteins and your age to it all. The Mayo Clinic,( look it up it is in Rochester, MN) is where I go and they are one of the leading hospitals worldwide for pregnancy and specialist. Their measurements are for under 35 and not having any kiddos in the past with problems that the NT scan is under 6.2 then they will do the blood tests and all but that it is still not considered to high of a risk. And he said to ask you are you sure the number was 5.1 like you said? did they wright it down for you? Because if they did it could have been .51 which is fine. I compared our LO pictures and yours looks cute and not really thicker than our peanut's.
I wished you were closer to me because they have a 24-48 hour turn around and I will get a call no later than Tuesday morning with all the test results.

Our little peanut has caught up some from last time but they have officially changed the due date to... Well dh said to tell you all Bon-Fire Day? He told me what it was and that by saying that you UK ladies would know. For all of us other ladies it is Nov. 05 So, Tuesday is my fruit day instead of Sundays now it's okay.
I have a small video of peanut moving and dancing around so cute. I saw little feet and when the lady doing the scan first put probe onto me we saw baby straight off. She said,"hello little baby" and then peanut looked towards us sucked it's thumb then punched both hands up and waved. SO very cute.
Then , baby decided that the feet looked like they might reach the mouth and almost folded in half and brought feet ever so close. LOL
I have been telling you all how I have been having pains I thought round ligament? well, all morning I have had HORRIBLE right sided pains in one particular spot and baby was righet in that spot.
The doc used a Doppler so we could Finally hear the heartbeat in the office and not just at home. He caught baby moving pointed out the moving sounds baby kicked or punched right at Doppler and it sounded likea little popping noise. He said baby was showing us who was boss. Then, there baby was just a racing away. I won't give the HB number til after I get some gender guesses ladies. so, here is baby peanut. This first one is off the CD they made with the video on t so if we can't see nu I g=have physical pics can try to take picture of and upload.

I am 28, DH is 24 and I have never had any losses but 3 perfectly normal uneventful pregnancies. I can remember the other questions but it was actually 5.7mm sigh... They said there were no other signs showing that you usually see with this high of a mm (webbing, puffy areas or swelling, or heart or brain issues) from what they could see. So that was good but the number was high. I am really upset with the tech as she was horrible and started the scan by saying "we really need this little guy to move" but he was sleeping so she said " I can't get an actual measurment for this till he's in a lateral position" but they baby didn't ever change positions it just moved arms an legs so I wonder how good her measurements were? She literally did that looked at the brain said here's the hb at 167bpm which is good and then said "ok get up go pee and come back" so we thought that was to wake baby and try again but when I got back she said I'm gonna get blood from your fingertip and you can go wait in the waitin room till your dr apt.... That was it.

Then another dr told me the number and asked if I want to terminate. I was like "ummm I guess I don't know what's wrong" she explained very little and then got called to an emergency delivery and just left me in the room.....

Then my dr came in and she said all the good things like webbing ect and said that we will wait on blood work before we even get scared but that yes it was a very high reading. So here I sit...

I can't imagine how you must be feeling

kdk--I can't imagine what you're going through, and you are being so strong about it. I cried when I read your post, and I pray that you can get a nice, healthy sticky-bean in just a short time if you are ready!

peanut--I know I already saw the vid on fb, but seriously ADORABLE. You have such great news, and I am so thankful for such a great appointment. It's encouraging to read a positive story since I am going a little stir crazy (as all of us do, haha).

tower--I am sorry you are going through this...but I think what peanut had to say is really cool and hopefully applicable to your situation! I feel like your clinic is not handling things well. The sonographer needs to be a lot more sensitive and thoughtful about things, even if he/she thinks something is wrong, it's not helpful to anyone to say negative/unsettling things. And then for the doctor to just ask if you want to terminate and you have no information or answers?! I would want to punch someone. Just hang in there...even if that number is high, considering all of the info you've shared with us, I feel like odds are still in favor for a good outcome. Just because one scan showed a higher number with no other indications of problems, and the baby possibly not even being in the best position to do the reading? I know it's impossible to not worry about it, but try and keep your hopes up and focus on the positives.

Love you, ladies!!!

all I found at gender.com is a bunch of links to chinese gender prediction and home test like a HPT but for gender and gender selection. Did I go to a wrong site?

 

[Tower6]

Yes!! Go to in-gender and post and ask for the nurses opinions and they will give would you post my lo too? Yay I was hoping I could try that site too!!

 

[peanutmomma]

Tower- I uploaded mine and then yours on a different one. Hope we get some answers soon

[Tower6]

Kdk you are on my mind... Been thinking about you all day hun- your angel will forever have 👣on my heart

 

[Tower6]

Peanut- if we get any guesses will you post me a link so I can see? Thanks girlie

I ❤ you!!!

 

[Angeltk42]

Tower that is an awful experience and completely ridiculous that you endured that kind of insensitivity! I can't relate fully to your specific situation but I have had health professionals talk to me in such a heartless way when I was miscarrying my LO last year that I am so petrified to go to the ER because of some doctors lack of heart! When I read that the doctor asked you if u wanted to terminate b4 you were even told anything is disgusting! I literally wanted to hit him! I am so sorry and like everyone has said and based on your experience you must stay hopeful! It sounds like the baby wasn't in a good position during scan and something tells me that the baby is perfectly fine and if he/she moved the reading would be more accurate!

 

[LoraLoo]

kdk im so, so sorry hun thinking of you xx

peanut- lovely pic! xx

Sorry wasnt around yesterday, i had an awful sickness bug. I had my bloods done yest morn to check immunity for parvovirus/slapped cheek but given yesterday im not thinking the kids had a similar virus- fingers crossed! x

 

[miss_kseniya]

KDK my heart goes out to you hun, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. I remember the day they told me my first pregnancy was ectopic and they needed to remove both the baby and the tube. I just felt numb as it was still my little baby and even at only 6.5 weeks I had become very attached and protective. You will find the strength to heal in time though and be able to try again for your rainbow baby. You'll never, ever forget beanie but you will find some peace with your sad experience eventually. Much love and hugs to you and your family xx

Tower what an awful experience hun. Some doctors just do not know how to deliver potentially serious or scary news. Especially as the worry could have been avoided until the blood tests were done and they had a more accurate picture. Hopefully baby is fine and it was just the sonogropher struggling to take the measurements properly. Big hugs hun.

Peanut lovely scan

Someone else said they are a peach this week (I can't remember now sorry). Yay though for almost ending first tri and moving on to second

 

[lovehearts]

So glad all was well at your scan peanut

Hope everyone else is good today.

Sorry to hear you had the sick bug lora but fx it was that the kids had!

Xx

Wow tower, that's absolutely terrible. I swear some doctors need to go to compassion school! Hugs to you. Sounds like everything will work out ok, hope so!

Peanut, I did the home gender kit. I used the GenderMaker brand with my dd and this time. With my dd it was purple and then slightly pink so I guess it was right. I waited until 16-18 weeks to use it. This time I took it at 9 weeks which is ok but early (they claim it gets more accurate later in pregnancy), it turned dark blue then purple then very pink so I have no idea! Lol. The tests are just for fun anyway but wish they would at least just show one color!

Well lovely ladies... We are gracefully bowing out. Had my genetic scan and baby is missing an arm and only has half a leg on the left side. Also, baby has a shortened umbilical cord causing little one to twist and develop spinal problems. They like it might be scar tissue from a previous d&c that caused these abnormalities to happen very early on in developement.
There is no chance of baby recovery and developing normally, so we've chosen to terminate!
I'm so heartbroken! Good news is, there's no reason we can't try again in 2-3 months!
I'm so glad I found such a wonderful group of women to share this experience with!!! Best of luck!!!

i have no words what to say kdk24 i can feel ur pain feeling soo sorry ,u r too brave to write it down all here for us !stay strong we all are with u !

 

[teacup22]

13 weeks tomorrow!! Is that 2nd tri?
Hope everyone's is ok, Tower

 

[LoraLoo]

13 weeks tomorrow!! Is that 2nd tri?
Hope everyone's is ok, Tower

I think its when you turn 14 weeks you move into 2nd tri? Least thats what it says under the 2nd tri heading on here! xx

 

[LoraLoo]

Also, what date is everyone going by? My first scan put me at 4th Nov (what i thought) but my 2nd scan put me at 1st Nov. Which is most accurate I know I must have implanted quite early as i got my bfp 9dpo x

 

[teacup22]

My scan lady said they don't change your due date unless the scan was 7+ days out... I was measuring 12+3 at 12+4 and she said no point changing it x
