Mind sounds like a train too, I read the other day that the HB theory doesnt work until later on, like 20+ weeks :shrug: Dont know how true that is.

Yes, that must have been a special surprise and lovely that it was unique to her :hugs:

Miss_ks - I will have to just stalk you for your scan news to keep me occupied before mine :rofl:
 
Well be finding out ASAP! 16 weeks is the earliest so fender scan will be booked soon:)

Im not sure i heard the hb rate isnt as accurate til later on but not sure? Mine has a girls rate but a boy sound :dohh: lol.

Babys heartbeat always above 160 so indicates girl, i remember asking my mw in a previous pregnancy and she said the theory is quite accurate, but baby needs to be resting/asleep because if its moving the heart rate will be higher anyway and skew the results. Who knows lol xx
 
Lora, you probably wouldn't consider my loss with Lucy as late. But at booking, the midwife did say she was going to refer me to the consultant for my miscarriage, but I declined since I know it was Turner syndrome and was reassured by the consultant when we had the results that it was a fluke, not any more likely to happen again to me than to anyone. Plus, I would've had my NT scan before then that would've flagged up those repeat concerns (NT was 1.2mm, so very good - just awaiting bloods). However, if I hadn't known the reason for losing my baby, I probably would've accepted the referral for further input. I don't see why you can't ask if you're not offered though. xx
 
Lora I love that you had a unique little experience with Eve. I think that makes it very special for you and adds a nice memory to everything :)

Lovehearts Stalk away hun....the waiting is torturous isn't it! What time is your scan?

Thanks hun, yes Id consider anything over 12 weeks a late loss, i think medically over 12 weeks is considered a later loss too :flower: Not that its any worse as an early loss but i think because they are less common, they are sometimes investigated a bit further, iykwim?

Im starting to get really anxious now. When I had Amy i had lots of reassurance scans even though Eves death wasnt pregnancy related because they understood how worried i was, but i didnt get offered them with William (although i did end up with extra because of low amniotic fluid) I think they must have thought because id gone on to have 1 healthy baby i mustn't be worried anymore :shrug: but it doesn't work like that.
Im starting to worry more the closer I get to the point I lost Alfie, I cant understand how he was fine one day and dead the next, I know extra scans wont prevent anything happening (not at this stage anyway) but it would just be nice for peace of mind, even one at around 16 weeks, til i can feel baby moving and kicking etc. Im just not good at asking for things, then i will kick myself when i get out x
 
First appointment today at 2pm! less than 6 hours away. We're team yellow!

Also I feel silly bc I am not obsessive over things usually and when I got my bfp I took a diff test the next day just for confirmation, and that's it. 6 weeks later (today) I just took another test lol! Bc I was afraid of going to the appt and they say I am not/nothing is there. The crazy in me is emerging, haha
 
I think you need to insist on it. They are caring for you. This is your pregnancy. Your concerns are legitimate. Own it, mama. Get them to help reassure you. xx
 
Lora - I totally agree with Manda, ask for you. after all if you dont ask then you dont get!

Miss _ks - my scan isnt until 2.40!!! So a few hours after yours!!

xx
 
Good morning all .. ladies good luck with all the scans and tests !

To all new members welcome !! This group is great !!

I know here (new york state) we have to be pushy and stand our ground sometimes at the docs ... insurance /money rules everything ..its sad and disgusting . So lora be a stubborn mother you know what ! ♥

Thanjs for the tips on maternity clothes and stores .. not sure who was talking about it but I hate having 4 boobs in a bra !

I forgot to mention this yesterday but my doc had trouble finding los hb .. he was searching low and then he said ill try a trick and stuck the doppler in my belly button .. boom found it ! Not sure if that will help with the home models but maybe !
 
Lora, I would ask. I don't see how they can say no really? I know like you said, it won't prevent anything, but it will save you a lot of stress. I really hope they listen to you :hugs:

We can't decide whether to find out what we're having or not. The biggest part of me doesn't want to, chances are after the struggle we've had to get here, I'll more than likely never be pg again, so it would be an amazing surprise, but with there being 2, it would make life easier if we knew! But I'm swinging more to team yellow, or is it team purple??!

I have a question! It's massively premature, so I apologise...... Car seats! We've been advised to get the isofix bases as apparently they are easier to use, but we are looking at the best part of £400 just for 2 isofix bases & 2 car seats :shock:

So, what do you have, do you like it and how much was it?!!

Thanks in advance!
 
Zowiey I'm not sure if its the same idea but usually the infant car seat snaps into the base .. so you only need one seat and two bases( ? ) maybe it's a different system tho
 
Zowiey - We had an isofix base on tylers first car seat and it was brill. It stayed in the car and the car seat literally clicked in and out, was so easy. I cant imagine using a seat belt every time getting them in and out of the car, plus there will be double trouble for you. The bases are expensive though. but IMO worth it xx
 
Zowiey the bargain hunter in me is saying find the car seat you like then buy the bases second hand to save money you don't have to buy it all together xx

So I just called and asked if my blood work was in and they called back and gave me tons of numbers I don't think I even understood most but there is a negative result for Edwards syndrome which is GREAT! My odds for that were 1:7,400 and that was great but there was a rusk still for downs and with my age the odds cut off for high risk is 1:220 and my risk after the scan and blood is 1:75 :( so still a risk for downs.... I am on the way now to get the materniT21 test done which will give us a 99.1% accuracy of chromosomal problems. This test is just as good as the CVS they say except that there is no risk of miscarriage or infection like the cvs. It does take 2 weeks for results :( so that is going to be very hard but I headed there now sp that I will know ASAP.

I am sorry there is still a risk my twin. Either way, I am here and we will get5 through this together promise, okay? And that is the test I was telling you about in the PM I sent you. The materniT21 will give you lots more answers and even, if you ask them, the gender of the baby too. That is because some of the testing they do is for certain gender specific things. So, if you want to know the sex they can tell you with like 97% accuracy. But, more importantly my dear dear friend. If baby still has a risk of downs and actually is born with downs, because they thought I would be born with it (granted 29 years ago) and I am just fine, then we will still love little Tower baby no matter what. :hugs::hugs::kiss::kiss:
As for the Boobs theory. I am hoping that we are having a boy and yes my boobs have grown, but they don't look huge on my body. My mom and sister both are a bit larger breasted. My mom is like 38 C/D and my sister is 34D normally. So, I just contributed some of the boob growth for me as my body looking the way it would had I not had Diabetes. I was 10 years old and a year before puberty, and since Diabetes as a Juvenille IS a hormonal Deficiency as well as a lifehood disease. I was told by my doctors as a teen that I will always look 5-10 years younger and will NEVER fully develope as a woman. DH notices the boobs more than I do and that is usually when we are about to shower or I am putting or taking off my bra. He just usually will point out how many blue veins there are. We can map them it gets crazy with the veins at times. And he will say they feel so heavy now. I noticed at 6-7 weeks I was too big for my bra cup. But, other than that I have had the same bras since then and just am going up in band width. They are full for sure and maybe that is why I will notice them more at times. As I have ALWAYS had very girly little pointed boobies TMI sorry. and now they look like a woman's bust, all round and perky. LOL
So, we will see when we have the gender confirmed in a few more weeks I guess. :happydance:

Everyone else, How are you today? We had crazy storms last night. DH had to hold me and the kitty cat as both of us are afraid of thunder. It is suppose to snow here tonight to tomorrow on DH birthday!!! Crazy stuiff I tell you.
 
Very clever Laura! I never would have thought of that :dohh: thanks!
 
I want to know, YESTERDAY!! lol No surprises for this chica lol! I seriously am going crazy with anticipation lol
