[bridgetboo62]

last winter during february we had a huge snow storm
so im hoping its not like that when i go into labour
since i will have at least a 10 mile drive to the hospital from my sisters where we will be staying during third trimester and a couple of months after baby is born

swansong- how ironic! Hahaha.

Bridget- yes let's hope for everyone's deliveries and general sanity that we do not have such an awful winter this year!

Started bleeding and cramping this morning, went to ER and ultrasound confirmed miscarriage

So sorry Smallbliss

Due to dd having a very rare genetic disorder we have been offered testing to see if this baby is also affected. Her condition is x-linked so if baby is a boy and affected he will be incredibly unlikely to survive to full term We have been given a less than 1% chance of the condition occurring again but we have still been very nervous. So we have decided to at least have the gender blood test and then decide from there if we will have a CVS although I must admit I probably won't as there is a small risk involved. I will be having blood taken today then probably looking at about a week wait and we will know if squidge is a boy or a girl. Excited and nervous.

Ladies I'm leaving the group. We had another emergency scan today due to bleeding and there was no development. The sac was also very low down in my womb. 99% chance I will now miscarry, and with the cramps and bleeding that are happening I assume it will be over the coming days.

Best of luck to all of you for the future x

Sorry hun ♥ xx

 

[RaspberryK]

[MellyH]

Smallbliss, I'm so sorry.

I feel like I am never going to poop (or be hungry) again.

 

[swanxxsong]

Oh SmallBliss. I am so, so sorry for your loss.

Melly I feel the same way; I keep forcing myself to it, but it's difficult because I don't want to eat. At all.

 

[crysshae]

I'm so sorry Smallbliss.

I'm sorry small bliss

Maisie, how exciting to find out so soon! I hope that this baby is healthy as can be withno problems. Last time they offered us an amnio with our son but we declined due to the risk of miscarriage being higher than the risk of finding out anything that would help us by knowing early on. I totally understand not wanting to do the cvs. Hope you're not worrying too much Hon!

 

[SurpriseBub]

So sorry, smallbliss

Hi Bridget- just wondering: did you buy your doppler online? (And do you have a link?)

Does it work well? And from which week can you hear the heartbeat with it?

Thinking that it would give me some peace of mind to be able to listen in.

Thanks ttc x We're not overly worried especially about this baby having IP. We have been told that it was very likely a spontaneous mutation in Dd's genes. There is a very small chance that there is an issue with either the sperm or egg but this is really unlikely. So whilst we have been given this less than 1% chance of it happening again, in reality in all of our research we haven't found a family where it has occurred twice without it being passed directly from the mother. I think our anxiety comes from wondering if anything else could go wrong with this baby as we were struck by lightning once if that makes sense. But it is more of a nervousness than an outright worry.

smallbliss - so sorry for your loss!

Maisie - im so jealous that you get to find out the gender so soon! i ask my midwife if i could find out the gender through blood testing and she said no

SurpriseBub - it hasnt gotten here yet, i didnt pay the extra for express shipping, it should be here by monday. its a sonoline b and its the #1 recommended on the first tri boards here on BnB

To be fair Bridget it isn't offered as a matter of routine here. You only get offered in special circumstances. In our case the condition my daughter has is particular to females and so finding out the sex now can help us decide whether or not we want further testing.
