*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

Wow, I'm seeing all these Down's screening things coming back with really low risk numbers in the thousands...ours was still 'low risk' but was 1 in 600. I thought that was good until I saw all these other numbers I wonder why ours is like it is? The midwife didn't say anything at all about it, which makes me think there's still nothing to worry about, but 'don't worry' is easier said than done for a pregnant woman :/

My nuchal was measuring 4.3 then a week later 4.1 so no difference really, my downs come back at 1 in 280 so we have to go for a specialist heart scan on baby to make sure his heart has formed ok and if not then not sure what course of action is but if it is then still don't know whats going to happen as it could be a chromosome problem.. although nothing at all could be wrong x

I really hope it's the latter for you, Stacey, and your little guy is 100% healthy. How long do you have to wait for the heart scan? I have to have those every few weeks after week 24 to make sure my autoimmune condition hasn't damaged baby's heart. If it is damaged, baby will probably need a pacemaker for life It's a worrying time, definitely. I'm thinking of you and your bean, and wishing you both the best.

On the bright side, baby is an onion today! 17 weeks! Happy new weeks to all who have just changed over or are about to

What happens at a heart ultrasound? mine is on wednesday, ive only had to wait two weeks for appointment but a month all together which isn't that long compared to some i have to wait for lol! If anything is wrong i hope its his heart or hes got downs syndrome as horrid as it sounds, chromosome is really really bad from what i've seen with short life expectancy xx

p.s sorry for late reply ive only just got internet back

I don't know, as my first won't be for another 6 weeks or so. As far as I'm aware, for me, they look at the heart rate, as that's what can be damaged in my case, and if it is damaged there will possibly be scar tissue (though I'm not sure that'd be visible on U/S) and baby's heart rate will be slow. In my case, by the time I have these special scans, the structure of baby's heart will already have been checked at the 20-week scan, so if the structure is fine I don't think they'll look in detail at it again. Maybe they'll look in detail at your LO's heart structure and how it's beating etc at your scan, as you won't have had your anomaly scan yet? I really hope all is ok for you

no my 20 week scan will be 22nd of may roughly, thats what hospital said when i rung to ask them due to not having letter yet... i'm so nervous for wednesday x

We had to see a fetal cardiologist with our little girl. All the did was enlarge the pictures of the heart, check the valves, chambers, the septum, blood flow through all the chambers, the heart beat to see if it was regular etc.

did u get a sneak peek of baby? i'm just wanting it over and done with now, all looked ok with his heart at 14 weeks so hopefully it will still be same x

Hello ladies. I've been a bit quiet on here since first posting.

Got a couple of updates. Due date has changed from 18th to 14th and we're having our second little boy. Still thinking about names, favourites so far are either Maxwell or Zane. Still want to do some more looking though, not sure if either are the one.

Here his latest pics.

I can't believe how quick some of you ladies have laboured! With my first it was 36 hours of induced, failed epidural hell! The pushing was the best part as it meant it was nearly over. Really hoping to go natural this time but that depends on how comfy baby gets. I can't got overdue so if he doesn't come of his own accord before then it'll be another induction.

I'm feeling movement too. Started really early this time and feel it nearly every day. Still mostly light little rolls or taps but getting the odd proper kick now. Had the strongest yet today.

Good luck to the ladies with scans coming up.

Girls i'm so angry.. i was on a probation with work & my manager isn't keeping me on as according to him i work slower then others its a load of crap hes using that as an excuse and hes getting rid of me because i'm pregnant!!!

 

[AllStar]

I'm getting more headaches/migraines this time round too but as you say yoyo, definitely worth it!!

Lovely pics Lauraemily, congrats on another little boy

That's awful Stacey!!

 

[Loopy Laura]

Stacey - if you're in the uk, not keeping you on during or after probation is still a dismissal so you should be able to appeal that. They should give factual evidence of why they feel you're slower than others and if you say it is sex discrimination that should make them concerned enough to keep you on! You may not want to stay on after that anyway - that's horrible for you and hope you find something else soon.

Last night, baby was moving around a lot and quite a bit today too.

I am exhausted today. I went out last night to my cousins buck and doe (which is basically a fundraiser for their wedding). I didn't get home until 2 am and wasn't asleep until closer to 3. I haven't stayed up that late since before I became a mom. I also cleaned my daughters room and put away a bunch of laundry today. I put all of her winter clothes away and put the lighter clothes in her drawers/closet. I am so tired and ready for bed and it's not even 8 pm yet.

Feeling baby most days. Hubby felt a kick a few days ago too.

But some days I go without feeling barely a thing, and then I worry.

I do this too. I've been feeling baby boy move for a few weeks now, and some days quite a lot. Then today I haven't felt hardly anything and I'm trying not to worry. I know I shouldn't, but oh well!

 

[kiki28]

17 weeks today

Yeah they did all the measurements to see that she was up to date with her due date

 

[cntrygrl]

As for movements I haven't really felt any kicks or much movement. I did feel the baby roll after dtd.

MamaMac-- I had the same thing with the nipples. It has definitely calmed down for me now though luckily. It gets a tad irritating.

He is so cute! What great pics I'm sure he is smiling?!

will update the list! Another boy!!

That's awful! any chance of negotiation? Such as extending your probationary period? Any meeting prior to this to review how your getting on?
Surely they should have given you a chance to put right these supposed issues prior to your probation meeting?

If it's a big company, I'd take it above his head to HR or his boss. It's very dodgy.
So sorry

Really don't worry-chances are when your not feeling them, baby is kicking your insides or towards to back where you can't feel it. As you get further on, when baby is kicking the back, you know as their back starts to stick out as they kick your insides!

I am in the UK. Going to ring ACAS & head office tomorrow and explain how i'm not happy etc, he also said and i quote "off the record you will be better off on benefits when baby is here" The thing is, it was in a shop, i put 4 huge trolleys out to another girls 1, she is slower no reason and she got kept on and another girl failed i.d test with alcohol and shes been kept on! x
