Oliver was always around 159, Caitlyn was around 140-145 x
 
DS was always above 160 :)

might ring my midwife, there is no mention in my notes about femur length, presence of nasal bone, anything like that. I WANT TO KNOW!
 
I'm having a boy and his hr at 8 and 10 weeks was 179 and 167 at 12. I don't remember dd's but I know it was much lower.

Hopefully that means that everything was perfect with nothing amiss!
 
I have probably silly Christmas related question :haha:
I am going to use Xmas stocking this year for the first time :happydance:
( originally from Europe and we don't use those )
And my question is ... What really is the purpose of Xmas stockings and what you put in ? :shrug:
 
Proudmama- "stocking stuffers" usually candies or small toys for kids. For adults you could do phone covers, gift cards. Pretty much anything that will fit it in really. There's no real "protocol". Haha. :thumbup:

Eta: from what I learned in school, stockings originated because children would hang their wet socks (from playing outside in snow) by the fire to dry overnight and when Santa came he put small surprises in them.
 
I'm not sure what Lily's heart rate was but this baby is always around 160 xx
 
Just letting you know that after my combined screening and NT scan results put me at high risk I met with a genetic specialist yesterday. Following her advice I have booked in for a CVS (placental biopsy) next week. I asked about the blood test options - The harmony test is only available privately here and is 700€, they did offer it on a trial through my hospital but stopped as they got a lot of issues with them getting inconclusive results additionally she inquired about result time frame and due to time of year we would be looking at a minimum of 3-4weeks. The materniT21 test she said appears better on the data but is not yet available here. Panorama test also not available.

I looked at the pros and cons of CVS v amnio; the risks at my hospital are very low for both and identical for both and so although it is generally considered more invasive I opted for cvs as I can have it done next week and get the results very quickly. The hospital is a large teaching hospital with a lot of very specialized staff.

In for a hectic weekend getting ready for our trip back to the uk over Christmas as I will be on bedrest for 48hours after the procedure and "light duties" for 2 weeks. The highest risk of miscarriage following the procedure is in the first day or so.
 
oh best of luck joeyjo, keeping everything crossed for you hun xxx

So sorry you don't have the Harmony and other tests available to you. That's wild that it costs so much and takes so long to get the results back where you are. Anyway, CVS is a very safe procedure and complications are extremely rare. Most women are very happy they decided to undergo it. I decided a long time that if I was at high risk again I was either going to get CVS or amnio if I couldn't get the blood testing. The peace of mind is worth it. Last time when I declined I stressed out beyond belief the entire pregnancy.

Hopefully in two weeks or so you will have gotten your results back and this will all be a thing of the past!
 
Best of luck Joeyjo. It sounds like everything is under control. Fingers crossed for a good result.
 
Thinking of you joeyjo :hugs:. I'm hoping and believing it will all turn out alright.
 
Perfect scan today, babies are just lovely. You can get a full update on my journal (Destination: Twin Miracles) with a picture of the twins :thumbup:
 
Good luck joeyjo! Hoping everything turns ok ok :flower:

That's great ibelieve! I'm going to have a nosey now :D
 
So I've just got back from my scan and it was amazing!! Can't stop looking at the picture (which I will post later when not on my phone)

Nt measurement was 1.3 so that seems ok. Age is on my side so will have to wait on the results of the blood test. They dated me at 13+4 so good job I had the scan today as next week would've been too late! Which changes my due date to 9th June :)
 
Also noticed last night (this is a bit weird) that's belly button has gotten really shallow lol. I've always had a super deep belly button (like half my little finger) now there's barely anything!!
 
:hugs: Jo good luck xx

Hope everyone else is okay! I'm still waiting for the complaints department to get in touch but will call on Monday if nobody gets back to me!

I keep looking at baby things and tempted to buy something but thinking I might wait til the sales in a few weeks!

Congrats on great scan!! On the belly button, most pregnant women get an outie during pregnancy!! It goes back in after the baby is on.
 
I've had my scan today and everything is completely fine!:thumbup:
My due date has been changed because I now measure 13weeks 4 days so that makes me the same as trinity due 9th june, even though in France they set my due date as 16th june.

Jo, I hope everything goes well for you, good luck!
