Kosmik, did you already find out the gender or do you just think it's a boy? It find it so funny how sure I was of having another boy lol!

I have not found out the gender yet - I find out on Friday! I just feel so sure that it will be a boy!

 

[SunUp]

Ahh!! Come on Friday!!

Hey guys ... Ok ... So I had my 20 week ultra sound. Everything looked normal ... But ... There is a cyst in the choroid plexus. This can be associated with trisomony 18. However I have had 2 genetic tests which pretty much ruled that out. Also usually there are other abnormalities along with the cyst. One of the techs told me she has NEVER seen one NOT resolve unless the fetus had trisomony 18. I have to go back in 4 weeks and have a repeat ultra sound. I was going to tell people but now I'm nervous and this is shadowing my desire to tell anyone.

Thoughts? Anyone experience this? Advice?

On a good note ... The baby was moving everywhere! Heartbeat 149 and I think I'm having another girl because they were having trouble getting the money shot.

kozmik, can't wait to see what you're having. i love that we were in the same m/c group and now we're here, both expecting our rainbows. curious to see if you're having boy #2 like me!!

nothing new for me, just having killer heartburn all.the.time. i'm taking zantac, which helps take the edge off, but it's still killer! baby boy is breech right now, so i'm feeling lots of low low kicks, ouch! still thinking of attempting a vbac (most babies are breech at this stage, i guess) but i'm not 100% sure yet.

Lala, if your genetics have essentially cleared you I wouldn't worry too much (Hard I know!) and since there are no other issues seen, it's a really good chance that its just one of those things. Many babies have cysts (in many places) that are never even seen since they pop up and resolve on their own so fast! Best of luck on it though, I know it's scary!!

 

[Hopeful Cat]

Layla im thinking of you and i agree with Navy...you have everything else going your way so hopefully just something that will resolve on its own.

Had my 20 week scan and bubs was really not cooperating! Followup with midwives to go over results next week but all looked good at the scan. She appears to be as stubborn as her mother bahahah she just kicked me as i typed that

 

[NavyLadybug]

EEE, Hopeful is it a little girl?! How exciting!


Kozmik, looks like you're going to be the tie breaker for now!! So far we have 4 little Lasses and 4 little Misters being welcomed in April!!!

 

[zmzerbe]

Does anyone feel way more miserable this time around than with your first? I can't help but feel like I'm constantly complaining about everything hurting all the time and I feel so terrible about it

I just don't remember being in this much pain with my first this early on... I mean, maybe I was and just don't remember it being so soon.

 

[KozmikKitten]

jtink - I'm so happy to be here with you! Its so nice to see familiar and friendly names around here! Its such a hard road and familiarity is so nice!

lala - I really hope its just a fluke thing and everything resolves on its own! I'll be thinking of you, and I'm sure you'll keep us posted here in 4 weeks after your next ultrasound!

navy - gosh we just appreciate you and your encouraging words here so much! Thank you for that. Yes, it will be interesting to find out Fri what the "tie-breaker" is!

zmz- I am totally way more complaining this time than last time. With my son I don't remember getting uncomfortable until like 35 weeks! Now I complain almost every single night about my whole body hurting all the time. Ugh. I'm not sleeping; head, back, hips all ache. I feel like such a complainer even though I know others have it way worse than me.

 

[jtink28]

honestly i think the 2nd pregnancy is harder because we've got little ones to chase after - we can't just sleep when we want, take luxurious baths whenever and do whatever we need to do, lol!

 

[zmzerbe]

Kozmik - I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Navy - Kozmik is so right about what she said, you really are such a rock for us and I'm sure I'm speaking for us all when I say we all are loving your support

jtink - Very, very true. I think my son wears me out more than I let myself believe. Even just watching him from the couch while he runs around like a mad man is tiring.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Ya'll are making me tear up! My own family doesn't tell me that, so it means a lot when "strangers" do

 

[Lala77]

Navy - you really are a huge support and very knowledgeable ...

zmz - I totally agree. I am WAAAAAYYYY more uncomfortable. Also, I can't believe how much movement I'm getting with this one. My daughter was way high in my lungs; this one is way low and loves kicking my bladder!

I had my first gender dream a few nights ago before the ultra sound. I dreamt I had a little girl that was already talking like a teenager ... Lol. Not sure what that means

Hopeful ... I'm glad things went well! You are having a little girl!!! Congrats!!

 

[NavyLadybug]

You guys saying that really did help me through a touch moment yesterday.

DH and I watched our neighbors daughter while she went for her anatomy scan for her new baby yesterday and after she picked her up she posted a video of her daughter looking at the ultrasound photos. Talking about getting a baby brother, the babies name, her daughter being cute about it and them laughing and being overjoyed for a son and it hit so hard. I started crying so hard my husband heard me and had to come into the bedroom to calm me down. She's as far along as I would have been with Sophie and all I could think was, "That's supposed to be us. Me and Michael showing Magnus. Being excited for a daughter. Buying clothes and nursery supplies. It's suppose to be US!"

Had she just posted a photo or worded announcement I don't think I would have broken down as bad but that video really really hit hard yesterday. I bawled into my husbands chest for nearly an hour.

I'm so sorry navy I totally understand as I always felt jealous about pregnancy announcement whilst struggling to conceive. It wasn't just me as I could tell how much OH would be hurt hearing his sisters or friends having kids!

I got to a point where I was deleting people I know in real life and staying away from here just to avoid the heartache.

I'm so sorry your going through this and we as a group truly appreciate you being here supporting us especially with everything your going through! I really really hope you get your rainbow baby very soon xxx

 

[KozmikKitten]

I'm so sorry Navy - that is such a tough spot to be in.
I try to be very cautious on FB and other public forums about my pregnancy because I know there are people struggling with fertility issues. So far I have only made one FB post about the pregnancy, which was my official baby #2 announcement. Havent posted a thing about it since.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Yeah, with both of my pregnancies, I made the announcement and maybe one or two other update posts in general but not much else.

Also, tomorrow is the day, Kozmik!!!

[Lala77]

Navy - I get totally get it. I was supposed to give birth in October ... Two of my close colleagues did. It was so hard after I MC'd to be positive and supportive of them. I am very careful about posting to FB.

I am sending you +++ positive energy. It will be your turn soon.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Thank you all so much ladies
