Had our scan today

My due date has now changed to 19th August.

But I also got a letter from doctors today saying I need more blood tests as my first routine blood tests have picked up a possible anti body!
:

Does this mean your baby has + blood while you have - blood? And why would the baby be bleeding into you at this point? I thought antibodies only occur when the baby bleeds into mom and there's rhesis factor to deal with? I'm curious bucause my baby is O+ while my blood is O- and I know I'll have to get an injection.

Or maybe your body has immunity reproductive response to baby? Then hopefully they can treat you with intralipids, steroids, or prednisone. Let us know how it goes, I hope everything goes ok for you!!!

 

[lilmissmup]

To be honest I have no idea what it means yet

Hopefully talking to my midwife once shes looked at my results will shed some light.

I just wanted a straight forward pregnancy..... I guess I might still have one as the lab said apparantly its not likely to be significant but after worrying
about my scan I am now worrying bout this..... I am a natural worrier at the best of times.

 

[2have4kids]

But you're 12 weeks so if you've made it this far I'm sure it's something treatable. If you had immune issues your body probably either wouldn't have allowed baby to implant or would have bunted it out already. It sounds more like maybe a blood type problem? I'm interested to know. Let us know how it goes but don't stress too much! Take care of yourself and distract yourself with fun things. The Inbetweeners is a painfully hilarious movie if you haven't already seen it. Things will be ok, keep smiling!!!

I had a section with my first and a v-bac with my second. Both sucked!! haha, wish there was a third option!! LoL.

I am A- and have always had the shots. I was always worried about antibodies, but my blood has always tested good. This is my last baby, so I won't have to worry anymore

 

[LoveCakes]

If it's the rhesis antibody they normally give you an injection if you have any bleeding and after the birth. Not sure if it's that how it would be in your blood now.

I'm sure if it was anything bad they'd have you in to see the dr straight away.


I'm enjoying all the cute scans I'm technically in 2nd tri now

I went through labour and birth without any drugs at all, not even gas and air.... I used a lot of hypnobirtheing techniques of mind over matter, and my body did the work for me nicely.

But yes, it is a bit like asking how long a bit of string is! Every single woman is different, and every pregnancy, labour and birth can be very very different even in one woman too!!! There is no real way to describe it either... I found the labour was dammed hard work, but not impossible work... And my body did a fantastic job, it is sorta incredible to be taken along for the ride.



Here is my 14 week bump pic!! :-D

 

[lilmissmup]

Thanks ladies. I did have a miscarriage last year so could possibly be a rhesus issue from that bleed. Should hear from midwife today.

You are right with everyone being different. I have never heard two stories the same!

I am hoping with this next delivery, that I can labour faster and push for a lot less. (I was 12 hours of hard labour from start to finish, 2 1/2 hours of pushing.) I am hoping for a quicker labour and a lot less pushing time.

I would love an epidural, but they are not an option all of the time where I live. I had nothing during my last labour, and would love an epidural next time! Haha.

 

[MummyJade]

My labour was pretty simple... Went to hospital at 4:45ish am... My daughter came out 8:39am... Total labour classed as 6 hours 17 mins.. 9 mins of pushing... At 8:30 my waters went, 8:35 I got onto the bed and 8:39 she was born! Only had gas and air... As wanted to push at 7 but wasnt allowed... Mainly due to change over I think!! So daughter became distressed.. But all was good...

hoping for the same this time... Im hoping as soon as my waters go baby will be out

I found it soooo hard not to push! We got to the hospital at 11:45pm, and I already had a lot of pelvic pressure during my contractions. I was examined at approx 00:15am, and told that, "This baby is coming now!" I was so relieved that I was actually given the go ahead to push. He was born at 01:05am. There wasn't even time to admit me/do my blood pressure etc.

I was the exact opposite! Took so long to feel the urge to push! I am praying for a quicker delivery this time!!

Hey ladies how are you all? Iv got a really nasty tummy bug ATM been struggling to go to work I was sent home yest as I was grey and broke down to my boss. I was really panicking it was hurting baby but got my Doppler out this morning and found him straight away. ❤️
How's everyone and their bumps?

 

[Jett55]

I was in the hospital for almost 3 days unable to keep anything down I feel better today hoping it stays like that

 

[navywag]

Hope ms gets better for you soon Hun, ill be 15 weeks tomorrow and still feeling a bit yucky but alot better than i did between 8 and 13 weeks!

i got an angel sounds fetal heart monitor for my birthday last week and its amazing! I cant believe how clear the heartbeat and movements sound are on it! Makes it seem a lot more real! Also felt a few flutters over the last Cpl of days, like a little fish in my tummy! Felt dd1 at just over 16 weeks but wasnt expecting to feel this one so soon!

how are all your bumps doing? I feel huge atm, though only me dh and dd can actually notice my bump when in dressed lol

 

[WanaBaba]

Do you ladies think it's strange that I haven't felt the baby move yet and I am 16 weeks tomorrow where as last time round I felt my first flutters at 15 weeks?

 

[clynn11]

Every pregnancy is different hun! The placenta could be blocking some of the movements or just the baby's position. I'm sure all is fine and you'll start feeling little kicks soon!

 

[squirrel.]

I didn't feel even flutters until I was 19 weeks pregnant with my son. I had an anterior placenta and it blocked most of the movements. I've heard 16-20 weeks is the norm for any pregnancy, with it being earlier in the range for second or more babies and later in the range for first babies. I know women can feel it earlier, but apparently it's not the norm.

I thought I was feeling flutters with this one last week, but then it stopped. I've used my doppler and baby's heartbeat is as strong as ever (and I can hear movements on the doppler), so I think I must have been feeling something else. Gas? Muscle twitch? Who knows! I can't wait to feel movements and know for sure!

[WanaBaba]

Thanks ladies, I heard baby's heartbeat on Doppler this morning so Im not trying not to worry about it too much, although I'm finding it harder to find the heartbeat now as he or she keeps running away from it!

 

[princess_1991]

12 week scan in the morning, totally over excited to see our babies!
Fingers crossed everything goes ok with both the scan and consultant!

 

[mysteriouseye]
