I cant help you with the best time for testing, but I just wanted to say to you that I have been having really vivid nightmares for the past few weeks, and the thought of them stays with me for ages afterwards.

Just try to stay calm about baby, why not give your hospital or doctor a call to see about the best time to carry out any testing or if they see a need to carry them out?

i also get vivid dreams. and they scare me! a lot of my dreams come true and that's why i am so worried. my doctor always tells me to calm down and not to worry. but that is not enough for me!

some girls said to test around 20 weeks....

i didnt know that a blood test would pick up abnormalities...i should tell my doctor about this.. i am sorry for what you have been told. i am also on medication. i take LDN and this helped me prevent miscarriage. i also take aspirin for blood circulation and other vitamin supplements. what kind of med you take then? did doctors told you in advance that they could affect the baby? i will definately pray for your baby to be just fine

aww thanks hun yeah my pregnancy is high risk i mean she did say there was a chance baby cud have malformations but the main risks for me is prem birth, small baby pre eclamsia and a slight risk of diabeties. i had a liver transplant last yr so im on anti rejection meds and im on seizure meds and bipoler meds but ivee been told i must still take them. my consultant put me on high dose folic acid and im also on vitimin d and calcium supplements which i have to take throughout my pregnancy. yes they norm do that bloodtest (i think its mainly for downs) at 15 weeks but its been changed to 12 as app its much more acurate then, i think it also tests for other adnormalities now to ill ask wen i have it for ya. xxxx

At the mo I haven't seen any evidence (other than pregnancy symptoms) that I'm pregnant. Haven't heard the HB, haven't had a scan. I only saw my midwife on Monday and she said they'll send me a scan date in the post. Hope it doesn't take too long!

Latest prego symptom- gone from feeling bloated to constantly hungry. I just cannot eat enough food today. It's stressing me out.

i am very sorry to hear that hun. but we dont have control over these things. we should leave everything into God's hands and he'll guide us. A lot of things can happen during pregnancy but we can do nothing about it. we just try to relax and enjoy every minute of us being pregnant. i will keep you constantly in my prayers. May you get what you deserve - especially a healthy baby. take care xxx

I'm dealing with needing to eat ALL.THE.TIME. too! I hate it! If I don't eat- I start to feel like CRAP and let's just say- I'm not craving carrots and bananas! I want to eat bad/ salty foods like french fries and chips!
