Lolo, my baby's measurement was 1.2mm and that's perfect. But it depends on the size of the baby. Baby A was measuring 5.01cm.
I hope you get this cyst thing sorted out.

 

[B&LsMom]

Lolo--this I what I found RE: NT measurements: What is a normal measurement?
An NT of less than 3.5mm is considered normal when your baby measures between 45mm and 84mm. The NT normally grows in proportion with your baby.

Seriously, all of the stress during pregnancy helps prepare of for all of our worries and concerns for the baby once they are born.
I hade a big fibroid throughout mine that many made a big deal of. After birth, it shrunk a lot, but doc said it should come back after I stip BFing.

What was the deal with the cyst during preg with Ky? When will you go to have it checked?

 

[LoloShells]

Thanks ladies. Baby was measuring 79mm I think is what I saw, NT was 2.2mm. Also had blood drawn so they have two tests to compare.

Nothing ever happened with that original cyst. It was a complex cyst, which I was told today never goes away, but then she refused to believe it was the cyst from 9 years ago. But you just told me they never go away??? She basically implied that I was wrong about the first cyst. That a doctor would never just leave a complex cyst and act like it was no problem. Calling radiologist tomorrow to make an appointment. She mentioned having it removed once I was 18 weeks but she's crazy if she thinks I will let them cut into me before this baby is ready. Not happening. If it hasn't killed me in 9 yrs, 5 more months won't make any difference. She mentioned an mri as well. I dunno, I'm not real worried about it. If they tell me the tumors look cancerous then I'll worry. Going to try to get hold of those 9 yr old records tomorrow. That doc is in another state so not sure how that will work.

Sounds like a great measurement.
My NT was at 11+6. G was 55mm long and her NT measurement was 1.5.
50 - 1.2
55 - 1.5
79 - 2.2
84 - under 3.5

Seems like we all fit on the scale nicely.

Sorry about the cyst. Remember docs like to scare us, especially during pregnancy! If it's the same one from when K was in the oven then maybe it's a slow growing one.

DH had a scary brain tumour removed in 2005. That one had all the characteristic of a cancerous growth but it was a slow growing benign tumour (thank the heavens!). They said that slow growning harmless things tend to grow in a similar way to fast cancerous things.

I think yours might just be a slow grower if it's the same one so don't worry about all it's complex structures. don't put 2 and 2 together and make 16. Let them check it out and just stay positive. I'm sure you're fine and it's just one of those things.

What is the big deal about them freaking us out when there is nothing that can be done. I had an abnormal PAP result from June they just told me about at my last appointment--I'm convinced I have cervical cancer and will have a new baby when I get the diagnosis--thanks people!

 

[Coconuts]

Bmom! My friend had abnormal PAP results for ages and it turned out to be nothing much.
Try and not worry too much. I'm sure you're fine. Are they doing another PAP?

 

[artsiekat]

lolo - Sorry to hear about the cyst news. I hope they don't freak you out about it the whole pregnancy.

Bmom - I once had an abnormal pap, did another and it came back completely normal, so one off's are totally normal. Hope it's nothing!

Nappies / Diapers. I have the premium birth to potty set of Bambino Mio nappies. It's a 2 part system with cover and nappy you then put a miofibre liner over that to catch the poop. When Daniel was tiny I felt they were too bulky and kept him too rigid. I should have got a set of the Mio pads that you can either use as tiny baby nappy or as well as nappy for over night. Then breast fed poop with formula top up for constipation / colic (Aptimal Comfort) the poos were just not the right consistency and kept leaking into the covers. I have found them far better since weaning, poop is firmer and stays off the cover. I use disposables at night and when out, purely because of my arthritis, to make life easier for me. They wash beautifully and they are really soft. I use a nappy sanitizer powder Miofresh which means I can wash on 40 degrees and get them clean and sanitised with the normal washing powder in the machine. The set comes with laundry bags that fit into the lockable bin to easily put nappies from bin to washer. The liners are flushable so easily keeps most of the poop away from nappy and makes disposing simple. On the whole very happy with them.

Daniel now has bronchiolitis, whoever said it, yes worries don't stop once they are out. If his breathing or wheezing gets worse, it's back to hospital we go. I would say he caught it in hospital anyway while having his scan. It's RSV virus one of those causing a cold that gets into bronchioles of lungs and is usually rife on kids wards when it starts to get damp out. There is a rasping sound too, mucus from inflammatory response, just got to wait for good old apoptosis to do its stuff and kill those pesky bugs.

Lolo I had a large cyst at my 12 week scan, they were freaked at that but it was gone by 20 weeks. I think because of what it can be, they always get concerned and go into we have to make sure mode. Don't worry sure it will be fine

 

[B&LsMom]

They told me the results showed Cervical dysplasia and at the 6 week postpartum check they will do a colposcopy of my cervix and send it to a lab that can determine more. Nothing to do about it now but wait.

 

[Katy78]

bmom, I'm sure you're fine, you don't have cervical cancer. But it sucks that you have to worry about it now. Like you don't have enough worries already with the baby coming soon...

AFM, I felt my baby kick again. It was like something hard pushing against my hand and moving a bit further away to the left. This time I'm sure that was it.

Everybody, thanks for sharing your opinions/experiences regarding a new car. We bought the ix20 Hyundai and we already got it three days ago. It's huge compared to our old Corsa and I'm sure it'll be big enough for everything to fit in.

 

[ebelle]

hey bmom, don't worry abt abnormal pap smear. I had one a few years back and when i went back for a retest, everything turned out ok.

Katy, grats on the new car! and so lucky that you can feel baby already.

 

[Coconuts]

Yey for movement! That's lovely!!!!

Anything from artoo yet Ebelle - it's still early but I'm sure you're on full alert

We (I) finally took the plunge and have ordered my entire diaper stash a small seperate wrap and muslin order for newborn days and the big Alva stash. Both should be in the post right now. I've chosen Rockin Green for my detergent so need to get some of that and order some fabric to make my double sided cotton / flannel wipes and the whole diaper part is DONE! Feel like things are moving now!

 

[B&LsMom]

Katy--thanks for your words!! I hope its nothing serious--I just kind of wish they wouldn't have said anything until there was more testing that can be done. I have also noticed some enlarged lymph nodes near my lady parts I'm going to ask about today--don't remember any swelling of those when I was preggo with Blake, but it seemed like I was less nervous with him--I was already on bedrest with him at this point, so its good things are moving along better this time in regards to my blood pressure!!

Congrats on the new car--DH and I were just talking about how nice the new Hyundai's are--he was telling me their full size car--not sure the model--was designed by BMW or something like that. Anyways they have come a long ways over the last 10 years!! Are you loving having more room already?!

 

[sadie]

Wow! Bmom, you have only 5 weeks to go! Woo hooooo!

 

[B&LsMom]

Down to 2 appointments every week--yep I typed that right---apparently this baby is going to be VERY well monitored!! Mon/Tuesdays for Non Stress Tests, and Thursdays or Fridays for ultrasounds and appointments...

 

[LoloShells]

Almost to the end bmom!

Katy, I wish I was feeling movement! I'm having a real hard time connecting to this baby and I feel super awkward and guilty about it. I'm hoping it will change once I feel movement? Or maybe once I know if its pink or blue? I dunno, the whole thing has me a little concerned.

 

[ashleywalton]

Just wanted to say hi to you all. Looks like all is well. Bmom hope all is well You're getting close...I am 10 days away from due date. I already had one trip to L&D and after 20 hours they prescribed me meds and sent me home. They will not do anything to progress my labor til at least 39 weeks. So I go to Dr Thursday to get a game plan in place possibly.

 

[LoloShells]

City, where have you been? You ok out there?

 

[citymouse]

Hey, Lolo! Yeah, I'm just in a crazy few weeks here... out of the blue, we decided to buy a new house, which meant putting this one on the market, which means that almost every day we have to get the whole house ready for potential buyers. Plus crazy stuff for work.
