well ladies went for my 20 week scan and im on team !AGAIN, This will be our third little princess, OH is still getting used to the idea he will be living in a house full of women!

but as for the scan well it didnt go too well

when you have a scan they look for markers in your baby that will detect any problems, well they found 2 in ours. my poor little girl has 2 cysts on her brain, one on both sides and she has what they call a golf ball on her heart

if you have 1 marker they dont even tell you but anything more than 1 and then they start looking closer at things. there is a risk our little baby girl has a chromosomes disorder, the main ones are downs or edwards.

ive cried so much my head hurts

we now have to go back on monday to have another scan with the consultant and she will tell us in more detail whats going on. i may be offered an amnio on monday or at a later day but were not sure thats what we want, we just think the risk is to high and even if it comes back saying there is something wrong then we will still be keeping our baby.

since coming back from the hospital and doing a bit of reading on it all we are feeling a lot more optimistic, these markers can just disappear within weeks!!

but we are still really worried about our little baby, im so sorry for her and when im looking at her scan picture i just think you poor little thing

i just feel really sad right now

 

[Twiglet]

Aww nikki I am so sorry you have this worry, I hope everything sorts itself out. Am sending you lots of love and will be thinking of you! Will be thinking optimistic thoughts for you!

Congrats on team pink though and your poor OH having a houseful of women hehe.

 

[Elliebank]

I'm so sorry Nikki, fingers crossed they disappear & everything works out. If there is something wrong though there's so much that can be done & I know you'll love your little one to pieces no matter what.

to you & your OH, try not to worry xxxxx

 

[pimplebum]

thinking of you and oh nikkip ...hoping everthing works out for you

Hi Ladies,

Nikkip75 - Congratulations on team pink but sorry you had the other news. As you said, so often these things just sort themselves out and aren't a problem in the end, just a scare. Will be thinking of you.

Glad your check-up went well Ellie. Sounds really good.

Congrats on team blue Honey! That's fantastic

I had my scan too. Our little guy was fine. It was weird to see and feel the kicks at the same time! Our dr did a detailed scan but didn't zoom out to give us a full baby view, so the pics aren't very good. He weights 418grams and the averaged size (from head, leg and other measurements) was 21w1d (10 days ahead!).

I had the worst night's sleep last night. The bub is starting to kick/move really hard and it was keeping me awake. Kind of reassuring though too.

Have a good Friday everyone

P.S. I think we're moving! I saw 9 apartments yesterday and loved three of them. Rentals have gotten so much cheaper that we decided to look around for something bigger. DH is seeing them with me tomorrow. Kinda exciting.

nikkip75

I hope u are feeling better today hun, cant imagine how u are feeling and hope the consultunt gives u some encoraging news on Monday,

[geogem]

Hi ladies,
Nikki - sorry to hear about your scan hopefully they will disappear and you will have a healthy baby, and if they dont she'll still be a happy, loved baby.

Honey - yay for team blue!!

glad everyone elses scans went well - I cant wait for mine only 11 days to go!!

I went for midwife appointment this morning, all seems fine and lo's heart rate was 157bpm!! does this mean girl going by the old wives tale?

hubby kinda melted again when he heard hb - said his heart skipped a beat and he deffo thinks its a girl!! he's starting to join in with my excitement now i think!!

Well girls I am 20 weeks today!! yay!!!! i'm on the downward slope now!! hoorah!!

 

[maybethistime]

Yay geogem,

As for the old wife tale over 140 girl under boy that fit with u guys with boys and girls???

glad ur hubby starting to get excited, cant believe mine has started 2 nest all ready I wanna find out the sex of our baby lol he wants 2 decorate bless him, he wants 2 go for pink and cream with some type of feature on one of the walls for a girl and baby blue and cream for a boy with cloudes, at the min its red and blue for city and united colours lol,

Got me hoping for a little girl now as we made a packed if its a girl she will support my team boy support his team hahah (think thats only faire lol) so fingers crossed!!!

 

[geogem]

noooo maybe, stay on team yellow!!! I know it is hard and very tempting but please dont find out!! it will be worth it in the end!!

I would like it to be a girl and I think I have convinced myself it is a boy just so I arent disappointed in the end really. so wither way I will be happy - but the more that is said the more i'm swaying towards girl now!!

 

[maybethistime]

oh my god I just watched baby borrows and I am am v scard lol, how the heck am I gonna look after a baby, oh my god im scard now lol

 

[Twiglet]

Hey ladies!

Am ashamed to admit I have done no uni work today YET and have decided to have my lunch in front of the computer...argh haha. Hope everyone is fine this morning

After watching Baby borrowers I had a mini panic...but now I figure me and Liam will be fine as it'll be our baby and not some randomers who we have to get to know, as well as know what it wants in just 3 days!

Scan soon, can't wait! March 10th...8:30am cannot come quick enough yay

 

[godivalocks]

i so can't wait for my scan on tue! it can't come quick enough...though i'm still convinced i'm having a phantom pregnancy! lol! i still haven't really felt any definate movements though i think that's cos of the stupid placenta position

Funny that you should say that about the "phantom pregnancy".

You know, after all the sickness, feeling all the movement, seeing the scans, belly growing, etc, it still seems surreal to me that we will have a kid in a handful of months. Even after all that, I still have to consciously tell myself that we have a kid on the way, and that it's actually in me atm.

Hooray to all the gals at your halfway mark, on on your lovely scans.

Nikkp, hope everything turns out all right for you.

 

[nikkip75]

thanks for all your thoughts girls xxx

im feeling a lot more positive today, my mw has rang an told my triple test results come back as low risk, 1 in 13000! so im sure something would have been picked up then.mw says the markers arent common but scans are so detailed nowadays that they pick things up the would never have even seen a few years ago.think these hospitals just like to worry us

the more we read about all this on the net the more optomistic we are getting, still worried but calmed down now, still couldnt sleep last night tho and little miss was kickin me all night, im sure shes sayin oi mum im ok stop worrying lol

im still gettin excited now tho an want to go out an buy some pink things!

hope eveyone is ok and all enjoy your weekend
