Sophie I am so so sorry I know that it isn't the same as having your own child, but have you and your husband considered adoption?

 

[KozmikKitten]

Oh Sophie, I'm so sorry to hear your news.

 

[Lala77]

Sophie! My heart goes out big for you! You have been such a source of support for me. I want to thank you for that.

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.

I'am so sorry sophie. I really hope and pray that things work out for you in coming months.

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.

Sorry about your baby girl navy.

 

[Lala77]

Navy, thank you for sharing.

Oh Sophie I'm so sorry

About to meet with a genetics doctor for the first part of my first trimester screening. I have butterflies

 

[NavyLadybug]

That heartbreaking moment that the Genetics Office and Maternal Fetal Medicine tells you they won't take you as a patient despite the referrals and obvious need for.it

 

[jtink28]

what is their reasoning, navy?

baby is measuring ahead at 14 weeks and has a heartbeat of 156bpm. I got to have an extra long scan because a medical student was learning to do an nt scan.

 

[NavyLadybug]

jtink, the lady was very rude and actually hung up on me without a reason! Luckily, my Dr sorted it out and got me an appt for Oct 22nd!

Zmzerbe, very ahead, woohoo!!!


Just wanted to share this, I made a memorial shadow box for my first MMC, Robin Leigh.

We're going to be working on Sophie's once the last few decorations for hers come in

 

[SunUp]

Awesome, Z! Yay for long scans!

Navy, that is beautiful.

 

[zmzerbe]

Navy that is beautiful! I was thinking of doing something similar for my losses but wouldn't know how as they were all very early and I no longer have the tests and didn't get any pics

 

[NavyLadybug]

Zmzerbe, we never got to know what Robin was, so we gave them a unisex name. You could always go with a beautiful soft yellow or a pink and blue combo sort of scheme and do one. If you gave them names (even unisex ones) or nicknames or if they simply went as Baby Z or Baby or Angel Baby (I know one woman who calls them by the fruit they were the week they were lost, such as Blueberry or Kumquat) you could put that and some unisex socks, mittens or hats along with some cute angel, baby or flower decor. There are so many ways and none are right or wrong, its all about whats feels right for YOU.

 

[KozmikKitten]

Navy - beautiful idea!

zmz - congrats on the great scan! Love that baby pic!

 

[zmzerbe]

Thanks ladies! The Technician said, "Based solely on how stubborn your baby is being, I'd guess it's a girl!" Baby wouldn't turn at all to the right angle for the pics they needed. The best crown-rump measurement they could get was the one in the pic with his/her back facing us.

 

[Lala77]

Zmzerbe!!! Awesome!!!! I go on October 6th. I'm very nervous. So ... I got my results from the Harmony test and they said they looked perfect and the results don't get much better than what I got! I have 1 other test out there and the basal nuchleus test on Tuesday. My coworkers are going out for happy hour on Wednesday ... I'm thinking if things go ok letting everyone know. A handful of people have already guessed so I feel like I might as well let the whole cat out because people keep almost slipping anyway. I'm so nervous it will all blow up in my face :0(

 

[NavyLadybug]

Woohoo for the tests coming back good, Lala!! You're scan will go great, I'm sure! You're about 12 weeks now right? You're nearly to the point that everyone reveals they're pregnant, so I think you're good

 

[KozmikKitten]

lala - I think that sounds like the perfect opportunity to share with friends/coworkers! I'm trying to hide mine until after the NT scan as well, but mine is when I'm 13 weeks.
