October/November Conkers 2021***

@Suggerhoney now I know regardless of the results this pregnancy is going to be high risk I do feel a bit scared for this pregnancy but I am trying to take it day by day. It is so incredibly hard.

I don’t know if I’ve had a bit of time to come to understand but I feel very calm today about it. Little boy was healthy on the scan and 1 in 3 is so high that it is very probable this little one will have Down syndrome and if that’s the case then that’s my path and I will give make sure they have they are safe and loved to the end of the earth. However that’s just today and I’m sure it’ll be a rollercoaster everyday now haha!!

The lady said we should have ours on Wednesday however she rang today and said that could also be the earliest and the latest the following Wednesday! I’ve already got no fingernails left haha!!

I am so sorry for your 4 previous losses and can understand why you are so worried. Please message any time xx

@Abii yay another blue! We’re gonna have a football team in this thread!! And those pics are AMAZING! Have you told your girls your having a boy? X
 
@Abii what a lovely scan! And yay to a boy! We definitely are racking those boys up!

@Suggerhoney i know what you mean about odds. With my molar I just kept falling into the small odds. It feels as though all is against you. Baby boy may still be fine. You’ve had your bad odds so now it’s the time that you’ll fall into the better odds.

Thank you hon.

Hope we both get our results soon.
I have Good days and bad days.
I can tell today is gonna be a bad day. I've also bitten all my nails off and I didn't sleep at all last night.
Feeling absolutely like a zombie right now.
Just made myself have some breakfast.

I really hope so hon I really hope it will be Good news.
They say it comes in 3s and I've had 2 episodes of bleeding at 6+1 and 14+5 weeks and them hospital results so that's 3 things and hopefully now we will get 3 good things and hopefully one of them will be very good news's with our NIPT results[-o<
 
@Mummy2Corban congratulations on your bean! So precious!

@Suggerhoney congratulations on your boy darling. My name is Harley:haha:

@angie90 I'm sorry you got that news hun:hugs: hope the nipt testing will put your mind at ease.

Welcome to the new ladies:flow:

I had pretty much text book pregnancies with my girls. I was very sick, HG up until 20+ weeks, craved sweets and had horrible break outs. They definitely stole my beauty:haha: with this one I only had sickness in weeks 8 and 9 and sometimes if I don't eat all day I will get some nausea, but I haven't thrown up at all with this one and I also crave meats and salty things. The HB thing was also accurate for my pregnancies, my girls were always 160+ and with this one its been at a steady 140. So odd how pregnancy can be text book for one and totally opposite for another. Hope everyone is doing well<3

Oh and we had our ultrasound today....
It's a BOY!:dance:

I don’t know about a 4d scan, they creep my out a little haha I like a little mystery at the end of pregnancy
 
@angie90 I’m so relieved I’m not the only one. Some of them are cute but I find some not so good looking
 
Sorry I have been so quiet, everything has been going well I have just been busy with my daughter at home. She’s going back to school next week.

I had a scan yesterday and everything was well, it was too early to check for down syndrome from the neck so i am going back in 3 weeks, by then we will have the results from the non invasive chromosome bloodtest too. And she said it’s 80% likely to be a girl, but this will be confirmed with the bloodtest.

We are most likely moving to the UK during the summer and as i saw there’s a lot of ladies here from the UK I thought I would ask you if you are allowed to choose your ob-gyn? I have read about it online, but it just says you are referred to a ob-gyn if you have a high risk pregnancy. I had obstretic cholestasis, gestational diabetes and complications in the delivery in my last pregnancy so I am hoping I can choose a good doctor to ease my fears. From what I have read it doesn’t seem that your doctor will be at the delivery with you?
 
@Lunabelle ah a girlie! I think you maybe the first girl on this thread as so far we’ve had a few boys! Great to hear all was well with your scan!

I am from east anglia and we usually have an assigned midwife but that doesn’t really mean anything! My midwife from my last actually delivered him but only because it worked out that she was on a shift at the hospital at that time and just happened to be on the birthing unit. I’m not to sure but I’m pretty sure it’s the same on delivery suite it just depends what dr is on shift?!
 
Ah we will be moving to east anglia too! I googled some of the doctors from the local hospital and found a few that have such good reviews I really hope I could get one of them. So in general in UK when you go to a specialist do you get to choose which one you go to? I asked my husband as he is from england but he doesn’t know
 
I think generally you just get assigned one. I ve always been midwife led.
 
I’ve always just been assigned one and then if all ok back to my midwife!
 
Yeah same here! Always assigned one and my experience of labour was it was whatever midwife/doctor was on call that day! I have found my experience this time very reassuring snd a midwife always on the end of the phone for a chat!
How exciting about moving! Where do you live currently?
 
Has anyone every used BonJesta for morning sickness?
 
I went outside today for the first time
In almost 5 weeks! Baby steps XD

need to get my strength up if I’m going to get back to work in a few weeks.

Covid has really screwed up the admin at my midwives office. Just got an email that my 12 week appt is on Tuesday and I need to bring all these forms.

only I didn’t know about the appointment because I didn’t book it, and I was never emailed the forms. Or the bloodwork req I was supposed to do. They’ve sent it all over now but the receptionist is annoyed at me thinking this is my fault but they’ve never sent me any of the emails! Like check your email accounts, it hasn’t been sent! Lol. Anyways it’s an in person appt! I doubt they will use the Doppler though, they don’t usually try before 16 weeks I don’t think.
 
@Reiko_ctu that is so annoying, just reminded me I haven’t done my blood work too. The way I’m feeling the idea of someone trying to get blood from me doesn’t sit well.
