Anyone else not feel movements. I started feeling DD2 around this time and kinda getting bummed this little one is hiding from me. I thought I felt something maybe last week but nothing since,
 
No movements here yet. Didn't feel any with last baby until around 16 weeks
 
@topazicatzbet hey there baby! Awesome all looked good! And yay for gaining 4 days!

@daniyaaq im still unsure. The only time I truly just sit still is when I go to bed. I think I’ve felt baby but then I’m so bloated and have a bubbly tummy I’m not totally sure?!
 
Hi ladies.

I was allowed home yesterday so nice having my own bed back for a sleep. Day 1 back and no sickness but quite nauseous. Got a upset stomach though, had horrible cramps for hours yesterday. Not sure if it was the end result of having a decent amount of fluid in my system to get things moving as I hadn’t been for couple weeks. I got a quick 5mins scan to make sure baby was ok, all good lovely heartbeat and looooong legs!! Pretty convinced the flutters I’m feeling is baby after that scan.
 
@ciz glad you are feeling a bit better although I’m sure it’ll be a few more weeks till you’re out of the woods. Sending all the love your way because we all know how it is :(
@Mummy2Corban midwife in 4 hrs... not really excited because they don’t do anything at this point except BP, and hopefully Doppler. I haven’t done my bloods or paperwork even XD
@daniyaaq I haven’t really felt anything yet. My sister texted me and said she think she felt baby... it’s her first and she’s as far along as me. Plus she’s very overweight, I don’t know if that makes a difference tbh. But I didn’t feel my first till 18 weeks! Anyways I’m terrified of having anterior placenta again, that would be a huge bummer.
@topazicatzbet that announcement is sooo cute, what a great job!

All our family and close friends and homeschooling mama friends know because we had to tell them when I was sick at 7 weeks because I pulled out of a lot of activities (all online because were not allowed to see anyone but our family in B.C.).

I’m sooo tired of this stage. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel but I’m not there yet... I just want to get back to normal life! I’m also feeling a little bummed about having a fall baby. My lady 2 losses would’ve been an April or August baby. It’s so cold and rainy here in the fall we just have to stay cooped up inside. My older kids we get them dressed for all weather and explore in the cold and rain in proper gear, but I ain’t about to do that with a newborn! My last baby was a spring baby and honestly it was the most lovely time! A little bit of school left and then the summer to take the kids to parks and sit in the shade with baby.

I can’t wait for labour (I labour super quick) but then I think it’ll be hard to have a new baby so close to winter with the kids going crazy being inside all the time :/

I only started feeling movements from 16 weeks and even now I don't feel them all the time.
I've not felt anything today but I did yesterday. It's still just flutters and taps but not felt the taps for a while now.
Had to get the Doppler out and HB was beating away at 148BPM.

Hi girls!

I’ve had my Harmony results today and we are low risk for Down syndrome! We have gone form 1 in 3 to 1 in 10,000!! I have cried my eyes out for the last hour!
We have however got to go to hospital wednesday for a consultant appintment to talk about the high HCG and what this could mean so still worrying about that!

@Suggerhoney I know you’ve not had yours so when I post this message I am sending the most love to you xx

Congratulations I bet u must feel so relieved.

Tbh I've not been that great today. I just keep thinking what if I'm that 1 in 33.


Unfortunately I now have to wait another 3 weeks for the Anomaly scan.
Hope that goes well and shows no markers.

The unknown is horrible. I don't know if my baby will be healthy.
I just feel like crying.

My only other option is to have the Amnio but i just don't want to take that risk.

U must be so happy knowing ure baby is healthy that was the news I wanted so badly but I guess I just have to keep on waiting and waiting and hope my baby doesn't have it.


I was told today by the genetics midwife that if my baby does have it then we cud lose him at any point in the pregnancy and the chance of him being very premature is so high.

She has told me I need to monitor his movements but I don't feel propper movements yet.
She said when I start feeling regular movements i have to keep an eye on them and contact them if he goes quite.

She said I need to get the 20 scan out the way and hopefully everything will be perfect when I have it.
Unfortunately not all downs syndrome shows on ultrasound so I won't know for sure until he is born.

I wanna enjoy my pregnancy but I jeep getting that what if he has it pop up. It won't go.


It's such a shame that I have to spend the rest of my pregnancy worried.
This will probably be my last ever pregnancy as I'm 42 in December and I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy and make the most of it but now it's gonna be tarred with anxiety and worry.


I will be having growth scans at 24 28 32 and 36 weeks.
 
@Suggerhoney so sorry you’re low today. I truly believe you will not be the 1 in 33. Try to keep thoughts positive. How many women go thru this - getting prepped for all these terrible things - and then baby is perfect. Truly I believe he will be healthy xx


Time to put on some clothes and get out of bed to go to the midwife, hopefully in manage ok!!

Thank you sweetheart i really hope so.

Good luck at ure midwife appointment
 
@Suggerhoney I am thinking of you so much and I’m glad the hospital will be looking after you and checking baby lots.

If I’m right, you saw no hard or soft markers in the scans? That’s really important to remember and that baby right now is healthy and growing really well! Your doing amazing mama!

you can ask for them to recalculate your risk after the 20 week scan if I’m right? I’ll check that again for you! I knew from the scan last week that baby didn’t have DS, I just felt it! And it’s postive your husband has that feeling too!!

Whilst it’s easy for me to say, you’ve got a little boy growing strongly inside of you who from what they can see currently is healthy and strong! I’m here anytime you need to talk! From just reading your posts I know how much this means to you and I really believe your going to be fine, but even if it ends up not being how you expected, this little boy is so lucky to have you as his mummy snd I know that he will he so loved and that you are strong to face whatever comes your way as the love for your little boy will guide you! XX
 
@ciz so glad you are home. Funny now that you mention it I been complaining about stomach cramps since I came back from hospital too, but they are easing a bit.

@topazicatzbet beautiful announcement I like it.

@Suggerhoney I’ll be praying for you. But like all the others say, stay positive and so far scans have shown a healthy baby with no markers, that’s a good thing. I really believe everything will be ok.
 
So my grandmother, for as long as I have known and she raised me so we spent a lot of time together in the past, has always had a dream about a baby including gender before someone in the family announces a pregnancy.

she only just found out about my pregnancy on Saturday, came here Monday to help out with sickness. She tells me a few days before she dreamt of two babies, one a boy one she wasn’t able to tell in dream. Her niece has also announced she’s pregnant so there’s two of us.

I know it’s silly and I should be excited at possibility of a boy but I’m a little disappointed at the thought, I love being a girl mom. All that to say I think I’m definitely going to find out gender so I can work through whatever emotions before baby arrives.
 
@Reiko_ctu hope all went ok with the midwife!

@angie90 hoping your appointment with the consultant tomorrow goes ok. Keep us updated.

@daniyaaq I wonder if the boy is yours? I guess if you feel that way then maybe finding out what sex baby is may help you work through those feelings. I don’t think it’s silly to feel that way. We are all entitled to feel how we feel.

@Suggerhoney im sorry today has been a bad day. I think it’s the uncertainty of it all weighs heavily. We all like to know what’s happening... the unknown can be scary. I think that so far your ultrasounds have shown a healthy baby. Your 20 week scan will be able to pick up on a few markers of DS so hopefully that will ease your mind. I guess the only way to find out for sure is the amino but it’s not worth it if it will cause you more stress? Your DH sounds positive that baby boy is ok and maybe having that faith in him is what you need. You got this Mumma. We are all here for you. X
 
@Mummy2Corban how are you holding up?

yeah I wondered if... and then entertained thoughts of the other baby being mine and then it just got weirder. Then followed by another addition of weird pregnancy dream where I was hatching like an egg and going through all of my embryos to pick which one I’ll groom into a baby. ](*,) And this was all in the mere 2 hours I managed to sleep last night.
 
Back from midwife! It was the useless appointment where they talk through your whole history, even though I filled out the form with all the info and I’ve had them for 2 previous pregnancies lol.

but I got to meet a new midwife named Rachelle and she was lovely and supportive. Took her forever to find the bb’s hb! Was laying there feeling quite nervous for a minute. Then found it nice and strong at 160bpm. Phew!!

12+2 and heard hb so feeling good about miscarriage risk now. Have to call and book my 20 week scan now.

@daniyaaq i feel the same about the gender... definitely finding out so I can prepare if it’s a boy! I’m hoping for another girly.
