I'm definitely getting flutters Lou. It's amazing. It mainly happens in the evening and I turn the tv off and just sit there with a goofy smile on my face!!!

Lou - I am having some flutters too. Nothing solid like a kick, but strange sensations I think just might be our babe!

Thanks for all the pictures ladies, so fun to put faces to names, I will try and find a good one to post. I especially love the wedding pictures. I love wedding pictures!! haha

I am going away about 2 hours south of Seattle this weekend with some ladies. I can't wait. Its a cabin so we can take our shoes off when we get there tonight and put them on again to leave on Sunday!! ha ha

Just got my results back from my second trimester screening. My risk for everything went down dramatically from my first trimester screening!!

For Down's Syndrome it went down from 1/620 to 1/4300
For Trisomy 18 it went down from 1/6100 to 1/27,000
I got a new test for Smith Lemli Opitz and got the best number possible 1/10,000
I also got a new test for AFP which tests for neural tube defects and it was normal

I'm soooo happy! No amnio for me!!!

 

[3xscharmer]

Lou - congrats on almost being full term!!

Jenny - great pic, absolutley beautifull!!

Heart - yay for no amnio!!

 

[heart tree]

Em, your hubby has great eyes!

Jen, you look lovely. I like your hair shorter though. So pretty.

I haven't felt any flutters yet that I know of. I'm trying to pay close attention now.

Croy, have a great weekend! Sounds sublime.

 

[Embo78]

Heart that is fantastic news

* * *

 

[hopeful23456]

Congrats heart!

Love the pic jen!

Heart - great news hunni!!! I bet thats alot of your mind now... yippi!!!

Jenny - beautiful wedding dress i love your hair too

Croyden/embo - yay to the flutters - i wasnt sure at first at 15-16 weeks but it def is baby as they slowly get harder then one day your walking along and look like a freak as hes jabbed me in the bladder and i crouch in agony, people look at me like im in labour lol

Hopeful - im not brave yet - you can say that IF i manage a home birth im only 2 mins away from the hospital so can chicken out at any point!!

 

[heart tree]

Not as good as Embo's numbers, but not bad for a 37 year old if I do say so myself! I'm so thrilled right now. One more milestone!

Lou, I like your avatar. My husband just got glasses yesterday and they look a lot like your husband's. Assuming that man you are sitting with is your husband! I can't wait for the flutters. I have a feeling I'll notice them before 20 weeks since I'm so attuned to my uterus given the adenomyosis I have. I'm sure you're going to birth that baby at home in serious style!

 

[ttclou25]

lol yep hes my husband

I wanted to get a nice bump pic but im still yet to get one for my avatar - ill just have to wait for the pic of my little man when he comes.

They are fab results whatever age - even for a 37 year old!!

 

[ttclou25]

IVe just read back my post and I was being silly heart lol I sound a bit mean and it could be taken the wrong way on text.

 

[heart tree]

I didn't take anything as mean Lou! It didn't even occur to me that it could be taken that way! No need to worry!

 

[ttclou25]

Is that the last of all tests now?? Are you just waiting on 20 week scan?

 

[heart tree]

Yes, that's it for genetic abnormality screening. Now it's just the anatomy scan on March 15 for me. I can't wait. Less than a month away!

Hopeful has her anatomy scan the week before me and Croy and Davies have theirs the day before me. I can't wait for us all to get the healthy baby report. We'll all know in a month from now!

 

[Embo78]

My 20 week scan is the 21st march heart. You can put it on the front page if you like

 

[ttclou25]

Oh wow I didn't realise it was only next month now for the most of you. I wonder if it will be half and half or more boys/girls!! It's just the best feeling coming out after u find out the sex, I felt like I bonded with him that little bit more.

 

[daviess3]

Evening ladies congrats heart fab news, i am a little bit worried about mine though embos results in 100000 urs is about same as mine an im 7 years younger! I hope that doesnt come out wrong! Just makes me panic a bit considering my measurement was 1.2 which is low i wonder what the blood test measures an who i can ask i feel really worried!

I feel flutters girls like trapped wind kinda? dunno if its that but bubbly tummy had it for over a week now but nithing else!!

Im team yellow at 20 weeks scan!! Am i only one? x

 

[heart tree]

Embo I'll update the front page!

Lou, I have a scan this coming Thursday and am hoping to get a peek at the baby's bits. If not then I'll have to wait until March 15.

Davies, did you get the second trimester bloods done? My results today were a combination of my first and second trimester bloods, my NT measurement which was 1.3 and my age. I bet if you had the second tri bloods done your risk would go down even further. Don't fret. Your numbers are brilliant.
