Firsttimer ... I never heard of that? What are the implications of a cervix that size?

 

[SunUp]

Sounds like she might need a cerclage, to help prevent preterm labor. It can help reduce risk of early labor, which cad lead to bad health outcomes for baby. You might be able to find more people with experience in this in the "gestational complications" thread. I've only known people who had it, and it helped them.

Lala I am not too sure yet either. It should be 3.5+ so seems very short at 2 cm so early in the game. I have an appt with an ob and am going for a repeat scan on Friday so hopefully I will have a better idea. Hopefully it's something managable

 

[KozmikKitten]

Sounds like there will be a few of us getting scans on Friday. Fingers crossed everyone has good results!

 

[zmzerbe]

Good luck for Friday scans! I won't be getting another scan until 20 weeks sadly.

The first time I took the test it was almost a week ... The second time it was 4 days. Do you or your husband have family history of genetic issues?

I don't think there is any history on my husband's side, but my mom lost a pregnancy in 2nd tri due to Trisomy 18 and I have down syndrome in the family as well.

When is your testing z?

 

[zmzerbe]

When is your testing z?

I don't have a scheduled time, she said I can walk in when It's convenient for me. I'm trying to clear a spot in my schedule. My office is open from 8-5 and I work from 8:30 to 5 with a 30 minute commute each way. It definitely makes it difficult to schedule appointments. No weekend hours either.

I am trying to see if I can leave work a little bit early today though, maybe by 4:15 or so and that way I can walk in before they close.

 

[zmzerbe]

I was able to leave early and had the test done. She said the company they use generally takes about 2 weeks for results, sometimes they come in sooner.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Do yu know which test they had you do? (Panorama, Informaseq, Verify, MarniT21, etc etc)

 

[SunUp]

Z- fingers crossed for good results

Yay for some Friday scans! My next one is Monday and I'm so nervous! I don't have a bump and all, and barely any symptoms! Only new symptom is my belly itches, haha!

 

[mommyof2peas]

Belly itches normally means stretchy skin

 

[zmzerbe]

Do yu know which test they had you do? (Panorama, Informaseq, Verify, MarniT21, etc etc)

I honestly Don't remember, it wasn't panorama, verify, materniT21 or harmony, I know that. She said it a couple of times and I knew I should have written the name of it down. I feel like pregnancy brain is 10x worse with this one.

Thank you! and good luck with monday! Belly itches are totally normal and definitely a pregnancy symptom. You may not notice your belly growing but by the sounds of it, it definitely is!

This was 14 +6 week bump.

 

[NavyLadybug]

AHHH, cute bump Z!!!

 

[zmzerbe]

AHHH, cute bump Z!!!

Thanks! I'm showing so much faster with baby, it's crazy. My last ultrasound said baby was 5 days ahead and the doctor at my last appointment has confidence that he/she is at least a full week ahead now. We will be able to see for sure at the 20 week scan though.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Hittin' them growth spurts early!!! Hahaha

 

[jtink28]

i haven't gained any weight at all this pregnancy, and i'm not really showing as much as i did with my son. i thought you were supposed to show earlier with other pregnancies??? plus i can't feel movements yet, so i'm getting a little stressed. we did see a HB at my 12+3 week appointment, so i know he was okay then, but i'm so nervous. where the heck is this baby hiding? i hope he's growing and healthy

 

[zmzerbe]

Hittin' them growth spurts early!!! Hahaha

Seriously! lol DH keeps joking around that this baby will outgrow DS in no time. Chance was 6lbs 12oz at birth and stayed at around 5% for height and 10-20% for weight.
