BFP by Oct 2015 TTC & BFP Group. (was the BFP by Oct 13 thread but the bubs are here)

I had a CVS with my loss because I was advised to and there was a very high chance of a problem which there was. This time I wouldn't have it done unless I came back high risk again. I think u have very good odds that everything will be fine.

Hi everyone boy I'm tired tonight's, pregnancy insomnia has kicked in . Waking at 3 am in the morning and wide awake , mind racing , baby kicking and as hard as I try I can't go back to sleep !!!! Hope its a phase !

Broody I was adamant I wasn't finding out but caved . I'm now glad I did I have no regrets . I feel I've already started a relationship with my little man THe way things are going he is going to have hair as long as Sampson !!! I've horrible heartburn all day for the last week lol....

Hope everyone is well . I can't believe your nursery is nearly finished !!! I'm still waiting on delivers from eBay . When they have all arrived ill get going on buying the paint , curtains and rug for the room . Then the fun starts putting it all together .

Ece I didn't even get bloods done! I kinda think....what if you're 1 in 2 chance, you still might be ok and be the lucky 50percent or what if I was 1 in 100,000 and I relaxed, only to be that 1 person???

Downs etc would never change the outcome of a pregnancy for me so that's why I didn't get it. Obviously if my baby had a fatal, not compatible with life condition that would be different and it would change my mind but that would be picked up at the 20 week scan .....but even then I couldn't even do it in Northern Ireland as our laws on abortion coincide with Ireland rather than the UK.

So anyways I just didn't get bloods or anything as didnt want the stress

I didn't have cvs or amnio as my scan/bloods were low risk so the risks from a cvs/amnio were higher than my risk for the 3 trisomies. My DS risk is 1:2900 something.

oh god my cloth stash is silly right now. SO many diapers!!! I have flips, thirstie covers, grovias, some work at home mom made, alvas, bumgenius, prefolds, uhmm charlie bananas. I'll be adding to that as well. Our plan is to buy one pack of disposables to use while we learn how to have a newborn, then once that runs out go with prefolds. Once she fits in her all in ones, use those with the prefolds. I'll have to take an inventory of what we have right before she's born. I'm not done shopping yet

we found out the sex at 15 weeks. Not patient at all! I also really loved it because it made me feel more connected with the baby. We were going to find out on my original due date, to sort of celebrate a new life and ignore the struggle, but I was having a really bad day one day so we went early. Very happy we did. On the due date, I was able to sit in her nursery and just think. I think we went out shopping later. The due date was a lot easier than I expected, tbh. I think because I was keeping busy. I've been trying really hard to ignore the fact that I should have a baby in my arms right now and instead LOVE the fact that I'm carrying our first daughter.

love the scan cmc! and great news about the risk level. They just said I was normal, and I didn't bother asking for a range because I'd just google it all day haha.

I misssed a ton of people in this reply, but you'll have to forgive me. I can't even manage to do simple math right now :s

Ece - oh lucky you just snuck in!! My results came back similar T18 and T21 very stupidly low and T13 was 1:2012. I still have days where I have to convince myself that those odds are still low, even though not as low as the others/I'd hoped.


Helena - I will buy a packet (or two I needed) to get us through the hospital/meconium stage. Im not sure how that stuff will clean up, and don't really wanna find out lol.

Now if only the 2.5yo would hurry up and toilet train!

 

[Left wonderin]

I'm not feeling very cool , I'm just planning on using disposable . Am I missing out on something ?? I need educating lol....

 

[xxDreamxx]

LW - disposable here too.

Wow those are some serious cloth stashes! I plan to try it, too.

LW - you can google to learn more. From what I've read disposables give off toxic chemicals and cause diaper rashes. Plus they market them to keep your kid a customer for years. Cloth is a fraction of the cost and can be reused on the next little one. It seems like extra work but really it's no different, of course I'm just going by what I've seen from cloth moms on youtube videos. They tell you all the ins and outs. Sounds like these ladies with the stashes could tell you more! and bonus they are super cute bums especially with the babylegs in twinm's pic.

 

[ece77]

Thanks for the encouragement ladies. I know those are quite low risks. And I know even they were 1 in a zillion, I would worry anyway. I guess it's better to leave it in the hands of statistics

twin & helena - Those things look adorable. Love all the prints!

cmc - I see your point and I really and truly respect it. Needless to say, we would love our child no matter what. Unfortunately facilities and such for disabled people are not very improved in Turkey. And we wouldn't want our child to suffer because of that

 

[Left wonderin]

Wow they are too cute they look like they are comfy too . Ece I too didn't test , they are not routinely offered in Ireland but you can request them . Me and Oh decided not to as the outcome would not change the fact we would give this little one a chance at life regardless . It is a very personal decision and I respect that everyone has the right to their own choices. Testing just wasn't for me .

Hope everyone is set to have a lovely weekend . I'm off for a night to a hotel to celabrate my good friends 40th . No bubbly for me though !!!

 

[c.m.c]

So I think I've managed to contact you all via pm.......I'm in shock at the sex of my little baby!! I was totally convinced last week at the scan it was the other sex lol!!

Anyway il just keep my stork yellow as my hubby really doesn't want to know so I cannot tell a soul lol.........I know you girlies couldnt tell lol
