Lala they said wait 2 weeks (which is tomorrow) as far as physically. I'm just scared of there being something wrong with me we haven't found out yet. And of course I'll update you ladies

Sophie! Good luck to us! I'm trying to think positive thoughts ... So stressful!!!!! I wish I could have a glass of wine!

Or the whole bottle! 😜

youngmam - sorry I just saw your message as I don't get on here on weekends.
My MD didn't say much either. It does worry me some, as I had one with my last pregnancy and lost that one. I have no idea if it is at all connected though. The ultrasound tech said it will likely re-absorb. The Nurse Practitioner said it will likely cause spotting/bleeding. The ultrasound tech did not notice it at first; only when I asked her about it did she go looking for it. To me that seems like an indication that it was not by the baby.

Had my booking appointment today. Just answering questions and getting lots of bloods taken! She said I should receive my scan date in the post! Can't believe it's taking sooo long to even get scanned! Thankfully I went private last week as I couldn't wait.

Still feeling so sick! I just thought things would ease but I don't know why I expect that as my first pregnancy didn't ease at this point either! Vomiting, nausea and my own salvia is make me sick!

I also had another awful wisdom tooth pain! Took paracetamol again yesterday as I just couldn't handle the pain! The dentist said she wouldn't prescribe me any antibiotics as she prefers not to for women in first tri. I'm so happy it's getting better with loads of salt water washes, swallowing isn't as painful today.

 

[SunUp]

Oh no, wisdom tooth pain is awful! I recently had all 4 taken out!!

I am hoping to hear more of us have MS going away!!

AFM I'm freaked out because of cramping so bad last week and on pins and needles about the SCH. Trying not to think about it but it makes me nervous. I wanted to make a big announcement about pregnancy this week coming up but now I'm nervous.

 

[KozmikKitten]

SunUp - I cannot stop debating when to announce this pregnancy either! I think we will wait until after our next scan, which is in 3 weeks. I'll be 13 weeks then...not sure I can hide it that long! Would love to feel confident enough to announce now, but I just don't.

Hey Ladies! I hope you had a good weekend. I just had my nurse's intake this morning and had some blood work done. On Wednesday I am getting my NT testing done and I'm so nervous. With Chance they found a lot of fluid, but he was too far along to properly test anything when they found it. Luckily he was perfectly healthy when he was born, but I'm just happy to be able to see the baby again.

Congrats on the good scans ladies!!

Anyone other than myself and Lala have genetics pending? I feel like I'm going nuts waiting!!

I did not get it done since (to my shock) it costs 200 Eur!

My doc didn't seem worried about my sch. He said I could expect some bleeding but it was 'far away' from the baby.

Yes mines pretty far from baby too I think. You can't see it on any of my ultrasound pictures as its way off to the right. I'm guessing that's a good thing. I just wish my doctor would tell me something lol

Mine is right next to baby and placenta and about 6mm. I haven't had a red bleed for a month but I have spotted small amounts of brown blood. My doctor does not seem worried but I don't think she is the type to voice any worries.
On wednesday I have my next scan. I am hoping baby grew enough because it is measuring behind too.

Re: announcements
I want to wait at least until 12 weeks, maybe 14 which will be hard because I have a rather big bump already and need to wear lose clothing and elastics on jeans. I'm not even confident enough to put a ticker yet!

I'm announcing on FB today. Just came from my 12 week appt and saw little man wiggling all around. I'm starting to think I AM going to have a 2nd baby boy now

 

[NavyLadybug]

Our testing came back. Our baby was a little girl, our Sophie Remilia-Eve. There was a chromosomal disorder, Trisomy 4p, which is a rare condition considered incompatible with life in most cases. Since its identification in 1970, only 85 cases have been reported in medical literature in the USA. This condition is almost always caused by a Balanced Translocation in one of the parents so we did all of our genetic screenings today, well have results in 2-6 weeks and go from there.

This all from my Dr, I'm sorta numb and just not all here at the moment.... so if any of that is wrong, sorry about that. That's the most I remember at the moment.

 

[KozmikKitten]

Thanks for the update Navy - I hope you and hubby get good answers from your testing.

jtink - that is wonderful news about today's scan!

Sophie - we discussed the panorama test at my last apt (is that the genetic test you are talking about?) but it costs between 1000-3000 dollars here, apparently! Yeah...not going to happen! Would love to find out gender that early, but that's ok!

 

[SunUp]

Congrats on the scan JT!!

I'm scared for an announcement too, and for a ticker.

Big hugs, Navy. Wish I knew more to be more helpful, but I'm glad you have some answers and glad you officially know so you can call her by name.

 

[jtink28]

hugs, navy. i hope your genetic tests give you more answers.

i wasn't supposed to have a scan today, but they couldn't find the heartbeat on the doppler (which was scary), so we popped into a scan room and as soon as she put the wand on my belly, there he was, heart beating away. it was nice to see his little skeleton face

 

[babyjan]

So sorry about your baby girl navy sending you more hugs xxx

 

[Sophie2015]

My pregnancy journey has ended. Genetics has identified a major chromosomal defect. I am leaving the message boards. We have decided to stop trying and remain childless. Thank you for all your support. I wish you all the best.
Our baby was a girl.

 

[jtink28]

Oh Sophie, I am so so so sorry. Take care of yourself.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Sophie, I'm so sorry.

 

[mommyof2peas]

[SunUp]

I am so sorry, Sophie! Big hugs.
