Babies due in JUNE!

[sadie]

Ugh. I had nightmares about it last night. I am also going to my OB on nov 11 but this week it is with the fs.... i will keep you posted.

Have a great day everyone.

I have my first appointment tomorrow morning at 10:45 (EST). I'm not sure what all will be done in this one. It's only 15 minutes (asked when scheduling) and I'm only at Week 5 (5+4, max). Even if it's only to walk in the door and wave hello to the doctor, it'll be nice to have this 40-week process started.

 

[sadie]

I agree! Keep us posted and post a pic if u get one!

Hi Ladies :wave:, wow nice to see some familiar "faces". I'm glad we're all moving along nice. Lilmama for getting that progesterone!! So far, I have more gagging reflex to my pre-natals vs. any food so far....lol. And I'm eating rice of all forms like nobody's business, even Rice Crispies! Today, was doing some house work, but tummy started rolling a little bit, so I'm taking a mini break again on BnB.

Welcome SS! Good to see you here! Very happy for you!

I need to find a way to just stop thinking about being pregnant.
Gas pains make me fearful and I am analyzing every little thing. Google needs to be banned from my computer. No more reading books, no more BnB, except for this particular forum, no more googling. End of story!


Anyone else being nutty like me??

AMEN! I'm definitely a nut and I'm probably driving DH nutty with it all too. I wish I could disconnect my brain!

I am. I have become very inefficient at work. Can't focus on anything except being pregnant.

I agree girls!!!! I am feeling so nervous, i had a missed miscarriage back in 2008 and i had no sign i had miscarried. I carried my baby to 13weeks before i found out at my scan it died at 8weeks. I feel so on edge even though i had a baby in 2009 with no problems. I am worried about the cramping even though i know its normal and had it last time with my son. I just want to see it and know its ok. I basically just want to get to 12 weeks!!! I got my HCG results from last week i was 4weeks and 5 days and my level was 5514!!!! which is high so i should be reassured but im still panicking!!!!

Ive stopped googling now and Im defo more chilled now than I was a few weeks back. BnB isnt freaking me out as much now which is good as my OH was about to ban me from using it. Every time I get a new "piece of fruit" my worry is reducing. lol Once the scan is done and I get NT results I reckon (or at least hope) I will really start enjoying my pregnancy.

 

[sadie]

Now you have a little blueberry in there, sunshine. The raspberry will help me relax a bit more.

Mummy great numbers!

 

[StarSign]

Hmmm, maybe I need to get a fruit train myself. LOL. But, I'm trying to be "good", so I did some meditations last nite to calm the nerves a bit. I'm going to try to hang in there and not go for 6 week bloods. But, we'll see if I change my mind!

I felt minor nausea last night, so I feel there's still some action going on there. Trying to enjoy the "normal clothes time" .

I also have my midwife app on 1 november, cant wait, hope my scan follows quickly after, just so I can relax a little

Do you know what to expect? Mine is on 1st Nov. and from what they have said it will probably just be chatting about medical history and that will be it. Im hoping they take blood or something but not sure exactly what to expect. My scan is going to be around 3 weeks after that I think - w/c 22nd November or thereabouts.

 

[pumpkin007]

Hi sunshine, last time is was just a chat really, then they kinda get the ball rolling, just feels like a huge waiting game to start and very unreal until you get your scan. Unfortunately I miscarried my last pg, and only saw the midwife 2 days before so i didnt get to scan stage last time, just hope this one sticks this time, fx, keep us posted, all districts seem to do things different so dont take my word as gospel

That is a RIDICULOUSLY high level. But, I understand the reservation

I know how you feel. When I had a MC in January 2011, I was 9w4d and still felt very pregnant. I had no idea until the scan showed that the baby stopped growing at 9w3d (just the day before!). For that reason, even though my HCG was 2200 last friday, which I think was about 5w4d, I still feel nervous. I am wondering if I will start to breathe easier after I get past 9 weeks...but I'm not sure. For that reason, I've still really not told anyone...not my parents and not even some of my closest friends.

Hey all. I just saw on the news tonight that there is a new blood test that can test for downs. If it comes back positive, then an amnio is a must, they said. If it comes back negative, no need for the amnio.
But they did say that the cvs check for other disporders, so the blood test shouldnt actually cancel out the cvs..... Interesting. If I may, and excuse my ignorance, but what other disorders do they check for? (mentral ******ation, I assume.... Anyone know of specific others?)

Soon enough, they'll be able to identify other disorders via the blood. Less risky for us and baby!

Hi Sadie

hope you are well. That sounds good. I have to say downs etc is my latest worry. Im a bit confused as to whether CVS and amnio are exactly the same thing. I know one is testing amniotic fluid and one the placenta but not sure whether they both give exact same results and if you choose which one you want or if it just depends what your chosen hospital will carry out. Im fairly certain that Im getting one of them done unless the risk is very very low.

Here is an excerpt from a page I have bookmarked about this sort of thing which details what the CVS shows.

Like amniocentesis, CVS can identify:
Nearly all chromosomal abnormalities, including Down syndrome, trisomy 13, trisomy 18, and sex chromosome abnormalities (such as Turner syndrome and Klinefelter syndrome). The test is more than 99 percent accurate in diagnosing these conditions.
Several hundred genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, and Tay-Sachs disease. The test is not used to look for all of them, but if your baby is at increased risk for one or more of these disorders, CVS can usually tell you whether he has the disease.

So, I went to a dentist appointment that I had for last night (an appointment that was made weeks and weeks ago) to get a filling re-done...and when I told my dentist that I was about 6 weeks along...she told me to come back in the second trimester! I was so surprised. Not mad or anything, glad that she is taking precautions, but just didn't think that the dentist wouldn't work on my teeth in the first trimester. So, I am learning new things this time around.
