Mid June and July Firecrackers Group Due June/July 2017!

I really want to thank everyone who took the time to write me a few kind words, I was really going through a hard time, I was so worried and stressed out and cried pretty much every moment I was alone. That being said.. I had the fetal echocardiogram on Monday and it took forever. I was there for over an hour. I wasn't told anything afterwards and had to wait for a pediatric cardiologist (non-local) to look at them. I heard back today and everything with my baby girl looks good! No heart defects!! I'm soooo soooo happy and relieved.
 
Oh weebles, how wonderful! I hope you get to enjoy your pregnancy and have a beautiful time bonding with your little girl, now that your mind is more at ease.
 
Weebles that is wonderful!!

Unfortunately I woke up this morning with no voice and a lot of congestion and sinus pressure... From past experiences this feels like a sinus infection.. Thank goodness I go to the doctors tomorrow.
 
I don't post much in here, but yesterday I had a midwife appointment and got my anatomy scan results back and was just wondering if anybody else has dealt with this...
Baby has 1 soft marker and the ureter on his left kidney is enlarged.
My midwife says it's probably nothing but I have to go back for a more in depth ultrasound now. And of course I'm nonstop worrying and stressing. 😓
 
Weebles, that is fantastic news! I'm so pleased for you.

I'm very thankful that the sickness and nausea has passed here, I really don't envy you ladies who are still suffering. I'm getting a lot of headaches though. I'm presuming hormonal as BP and urine is fine.

I've still got another 2 weeks before my anomaly scan, I'm counting down the days to hopefully hear that little worm is all healthy.
 
Fading no experience sorry. First timer. Hoping all turns out well.

Girly yay no more sickness. I'm also not pleased about waiting 3.5 weeks for my anatomy scan lol SO is going with me so I am hoping he bonds when he sees little baby boy on screen
 
Sorry Xfadingpat - no experiences here. Have you posted in 2nd tri? Might be someone in there that has :hugs:
 
Good stuff, Weebles!

Only 10 more days til my anatomy scan/half way point of my pregnancy. It's still so surreal that I've made it this far.

And I bought a couple more things today. If I am having a girl, I want her to have a doll that looks like Mommy. lol

Gagrlinpitt - what can you do for your sinus infection, I think I feel one coming on too and don't want to take anything that will hurt the baby. I have just been using Saline Spray and drinking some orange juice. UGH, not getting any sleep.

Pretty, Such a cute doll!

I'm going to see my digit tomorrow for my scheduled appointment so I'll update you then. For now I've been using a humidifier on high, taking vitamin C, and keeping hydrated. I'm also trying to rest as much as I can.

I was just in a similar situation. My baby has two soft markers for DS and while I have no idea what that does to the "odds" I turned down all the screening tests. For me, birth defects were of greater concern and I had scares with that too because they couldn't see if the septum in her heart was fully formed. I was sent in another scan and then for a fetal echocardiogram. I was a mess. I know how hard it is to have nothing to do but worry and wait. Hang in there, it can still turn out okay. They are likely being cautious and just making extra sure because if there is an actual issue they will be able to be better prepared at your baby's delivery. I don't know much about what an enlarged kidney means but I do know two people in my small circle that only have one kidney and you'd never even know unless they told you. But hopefully when you go for your next scan everything will look good. Babies have to cooperate to give a good image and when they don't it can create stress. It's hard not to worry but I'm sending positive vibes your way.
 
Pretty, I really think you're having a girl. My mom did the exact same thing with me and I did too! That doll is adorbs!

Dobby, happy to hear that you and your SO are giving things another chance!
