Hi all,
I know I haven't been very active for awhile but I've been super busy.
At our 20 weeks scan they asked us to come back so the cardiologist could look at bubs heart as it appeared the aorta was narrow. We had our follow up scan two days ago and was told that the leftside of bubs heart wasn't functioning properly. The aortic valve has some thickening and narrowing, the left ventricle is thickened and showing scar tissue and the mitrial valve is opening or closing properly allowing for blood regurgitation. The clinical name for our problems Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
On a scale of 1 to 10 of serious heart conditions we are a 10. Immediately after birth bubs will be transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit where she'll be stabilised for a few days before undergoing the first on at least 3 open heart surgeries. :cry:

Big hugs :hugs: I'm sorry to hear your daughter will have a few hurdles to over come but I hope for the very best for you and your little one x
 
Well it's my MILs ex's funeral on Friday :( the first funeral I will ever be attending. I'm so nervous and sad about it already. Been spending a lot of time with my MIL as she has taken it really badly. I just don't know what I'm going to wear as most of the clothes that fit me now aren't 'dressy' clothes mainly jeans and a few tops.

But on a happier note I think we have a name for baby :) Alfie Raymond David :) middle names are family names and DH decided he liked Alfie last night so we will have Christian,Isabel and Alfie x

I am so sorry you have to go to a funeral during your pregnancy, although I can completely sympathize, as I lost my maternal grandmother during my last pregnancy (at 8 months pregnant) and my paternal grandmother during this pregnancy in early April.

I literally had nothing to wear, but I found that a cheap, black maternity dress (since you probably won't be wearing it a ton) paired with some nice jewelry was enough for me. I probably could have gotten away with jeans and a black top, but I just felt better in a dress. Big hugs to you and MIL, it's never an easy thing to go through.
 
Thanks ladies, yes it's hard but I'm more of a the cup is half full kind of person. I just keep trying to remind myself that even though he was young (42) he still had a life it could be worse it could of been a child ect :(

I'm going shopping later as DH seems to have gained a little bit of weight and needs something to wear as well so I'm going to see what I can get into x
 
Hi Ladies, I went to St George's Yesterday and it turns out I was misdiagnosed and have uteroplacental Insufficiency which mean the placenta is sending everything the wrong way around. They are not too worried at the moment as although this baby is going to be very small, she appears to be following the same continous growth line, but should she come off that line they will deliver her at 34 weeks xx
 
If baby is measuring between the 90th and 50th percentile would you put it as on the 75th percentile. This is where my bubba is measuring at the minute. Anyone's baby measuring or measured this and been big at birth. I'm scared of having a big baby and now i have suspected GD as my midwife found a little glucose in my urine, BUT i did eat chocolate about an hour before so could this be the reason? .. Would the sugar show in your urine after 1hour or does it sound like GD?

Every single time I've gone to my OB I have sugar in my urine. It's got something to do with your kidneys and how they process sugars in pregnancy. My doctor had me take the glucose test at 8 weeks and then I took it on Wednesday at 27w1d. I find out the results tomorrow, but she said she was not concerned at all with me having GD. She said she'd be shocked if I ended up with it and that it's just the way out bodies work while pregnant and if we eat something with sugar before we go to our appointments.
 
"Between the 50th and 90th percentile" doesn't mean 75th I don't think. I reckon it means some areas are measuring bang on average (50th) and some areas as larger, so overall it is somewhere in the middle but could go either way entirely before birth!!!! Monster was 75th percentile for weight at birth, but 90th percentile for length and 99th for his head.... Lol! I did tear having him, but IT DIDNT HURT. It hurt to get the local in to be stitched up, but the tearing itself didn't hurt!!! So I wouldn't worry about an average-ish baby, even if it looks like he MIGHT be on the big side (ultrasound measurements are SO bad at being way off!!! Take anything from them with a grain of salt!) it doesn't sound as if he is totally huge, AND there is no way to know if you'll have him a bit earlier or something too, making him have a totally average birth size! :)
 
I had my appointment with my OB, and am feeling a lot more confident about my v-bac2. I was feeling so nervous, but she was so wonderful and encouraging. She said my last v-bac hopefully paved the way for this baby, so I should not have two hours of pushing again. I know they can't say for certain that it will be easier, but she said in most cases the 2nd birth is faster. Hoping that is the case for me!!
 
Just got my GTT results back; I have gestational diabetes. I am not too upset about having it, I will deal with it as best I can, but I am bitterly upset at the prospect of it forcing me to a hospital 1.5 hours drive away rather than the one 3 mins WALK away!!! :'(
 
flyingduster- Sorry about GD hun :hugs:

mysteriouseye- So glad it was a misdiagnosis! Hope baby girl keeps following her growth line and can stay in there cooking!!

addy1- I hope this VBAC goes perfectly for you!!

29 weeks for me yesterday! So crazy we're all getting so close!!!!!
 
flyingduster, sorry about your results, I wish it was a closer hospital that you could go to. :hugs:

My OB appt went well. The baby heartbeat it's strong. I'm measuring where I'm supposed to be at. My blood pressure was normal which I am happy about. I took the gd test as well. That drink tastes so nasty! I received my results yesterday and it was normal. June 4th which is my next appt I will have to get the tdap immunization. I don't remember getting with neither of my daughters. The Dr said it's just a precaution so that when the baby is born, he won't develop whooping cough and the other diseases. I caught pink eye Thursday.:nope: Got it from dh or 1 of my daughters. I woke up Thursday morning and my left eyelid was stuck together. :'( couldn't open up my eye. Had to use a warm washcloth to clean my eye. Went to the Dr and got prescribed some eyedrops.

How is everybody else doing?
 
Anyone else struggling with the heat? We had a family BBQ today and I was really struggling but thank goodness my SIL was here to help with food and keep the kids entertained. She even said I could go for a lay down and she would sort everything :) ohh and she painted my toe nails for me as I'm struggling to do it myself x
