I am doing fine. A little worried still now and then but I suppose it's natural. 24 days until I'm 20 weeks and 25 days until my gender scan! Excited and nervous all at once. Ameeann I responded to your journal. Also I just noticed that you haven't changed your sig to say I got a bfp!? lol

 

[ameeann]

ohhh sorry hunny bunch I'll do it now!! haha what am I like xD

thank you for commenting on my journal lovely!


and the worrying is just part of it, I stopped for a while at 24 weeks now I only have 9 to go I'm worrying about still births etc it never stops!!! lol

so are you finding out if its blue or pink??

 

[ImSoTired]

Yep I'm finding out at my 20 week scan on July 20th. Can't wait to know if it's a boy or girl. I think it'll make it so much more real. I really wish this worrying would go away though it's driving me crazy!

I know, right? Sometimes I feel as though time is dragging but then again it feels like I got my bfp yesterday so time has really flown!? So weird. Anyway I hope everything goes well at your scan and that your placenta is in the right place! fx'd for you!

 

[ameeann]

ahh claire I didn't know you had an issue with your placenta . . . did i?? lol

I have my 32 week scan on the 2nd and I had one 2 weeks a go, let me tell you, it is sooooo different from your 20 week scan, baby is uber squished in there! haha my lil munchkin was all squished against my hip, looked like his face wash pushed up against a piece of glass haha!!

 

[cmarie33]

Hehe aww squishy twinkle! Lol I've no idea whether I've said about my
Placenta before or not! Lol! Blah I'm so tired at the moment! xx

HI girls. I got results to my bloods yesterday evening. I have a 1/10000 chance of the child having down syndrome or trisomy18. However the baby has a 1/388 chance to have a neural tube defect and something was a bit off in one of my blood tests, she called it an analyte... I posted it on all my pregnancy threads really hoping someone would know something about it and maybe clear it up for me but everone just said not to worry and to call and ask again. The threads have grown so huge now- which is great!- but no one seemed to know what I was referring to so it's got me worrying even more because no one had any similar results. It's upsetting because it's got my grasping at straws here thinking and thinking of what I was told on the phone trying to figure it out. I have a call into the doctor now, it's always a wait until the get someone to review it and call me back. I'm hoping they can better explain it to me and put me at ease. Otherwise I'd be freaking out at my next appt and probably up until the appt on the 12th and then the scan on the 20th.

The woman seemed like she was trying to be really positive and not to scare me but of course I'm a worrier and it did anyway. She said they consulted about it and that theyh decided it was unlikely there was a serious issue. The analyte could mean I will have pre eclampsia or preterm labor, it could mean something is wrong with baby, or it could be nothing. And also that I will have another scan at 32 weeks to check again and they will discuss it and recheck it at the 20 weeks scan as well and that the risk may go down with each scan. I started out kind of relieved but I'm not really nervous. Just thought I could rant here about it as I'm waiting for the phone call. Sorry.

I hope you are all doing well.

I honestly wouldn't worry lovely. If they had even slight concern more tests would be done. They're happy just to keep an eye on it so try to relax xxx

 

[ImSoTired]

The nurse called me back and she said she thinks I'm safe from the neural tube defect but that the analyte is more so the problem. She said a protein in my blood indicated I may have issues and the baby might not grow properly. She said they will be checking it at every ultrasound and I may have an extra ultrasound or two to monitor it closely. I'm sure it is something I will discuss further at my appts on the 12th and 20th. She said that it isn't uncommon for certain analytes in the blood tests to come out a bit off but that sometimes there is an issue later in pregnancy- sometimes not. So I guess what she's saying is the baby is either going to grow normally or not. I'm hoping that at the ultrasound they decide that the baby is growing accordingly so I can perhaps not worry so much. Who am I kidding, I'm going to worry regardless. Now I just have to make through oh 22 weeks of pregnancy...

 

[cmarie33]

Oh I worry every day without good reason! At least they're aware of it and will monitor it now
Xx
