No I'm sorry! I'm not trying to make you feel bad! This is where you should come and talk. I just feel bad because I feel like my so far successful pregnancy ( Knock on wood) is rude to talk about when you ladies are going though my worst nightmare!

Thank you all for the kind words! My wife is holding up well. The day we heard "cyst" & "brain" in the same sentence we both were shocked/sad/scared/sh*tless..etc...

The more we talked to doctors & read up on the actual CP cysts it got a little less scary. We were told he cyst itself is harmless. It does NOT affect brain development or brain function. It is found in 1% - 3% of 2nd/3rd trimester ultrasounds.

It is considered a "soft marker" for chromosome problems like Trisomy 18.

The High Risk OB Doc checked out everything else that would indicate a concern for chromosome problems during the ultrasound/3D/4D scans & everything else checked out OK (heart, kidney, feet, lips, hands.. & so on...) We are still considered low risk. (Awesome news !)

We go back June 6th to see if the cyst is still there. Obviously we hope the cyst is gone, but if it is still there everything could still be OK.

We are doing our best to be prepared for anything while trying to stay positive!

Don't feel bad! Right now I think we all would love to hear some happy moments too there's. Been lots of bad news, and I know we are all here for each other to give support, but we are def here to celebrate each others happy times too I want to be supportive no matter what is happening, good or bad!

Here's my good for the day: my sister's baby is doing much better this week. His bilirubin levels are starting to drop finally. I also went to a huge consignment sale today with my aunt and cousin and bought some cute things for baby and my son. It was so relaxing to just have a day off work mid week!

I definitely think that this thread should be for whathever is going on in your life - good, bad or just plain old everyday bits!
I don't think anyone wants it to be that they feel like they shouldn't post bad bits for fear of upsetting people or good things that are happening for the same reason.
Terrible things happen in life, everyone on this board knows that but I don't think this should stop us all from sharing the positive aspects too. There is enough worry and scaremongering for pregnant women as it is that I think we should enjoy and share those little milestones and make sure we are here to support each other when things get tough.

Mrs Kg - sorry to hear your news, was hoping this was it for you.

JD - glad to hear your nephew is doing better. And hope you enjoyed the shopping!!

 

[KozmikKitten]

I agree all news should be welcome here!
Chisox, I'm glad to read that you and your wife are hanging in there! Keep your positive attitudes and good luck on your next scan!!
Mrskg - so sorry to hear your sad news yet again. You deserve this chance!

As for me! After 3 weeks as an eggplant...today I move onward to squash level! hahaha!

 

[bizzy27]

Omg Kosmik - I just realized by your post that I am a squash too.. LOL.. I never put the fruit ticker up so...
I have to say that I honestly dont feel as if he is as big as a squash..but maybe thats a good thing.

Mrskg - I posted on your journal.. but I mean what I said.. hang in there. Things seem horrible right now, but one day this will all make sense. Not sure how yet..but it will.

Nicola - I still have you in my prayers.

Baby- Dont be afraid to post good news. I knwo when I had my MC's seeing ppls good news did two things to me.. One - made me sad that it was happening to someone else..BUT The most important thing... IT MADE ME REALIZE.. that these ppl had problems with TTC too. Which is why they were on this site to begin with. AND if it can happen for them..It WILL happen for me too.

Chisox - I am glad you got a bit of good news. Its nice to having something to bring your spirits up. Another friend of mine on here, her daughter had a cyst as well, and by her next scan it was gone.. So I will pray you have the same outcome.

 

[KozmikKitten]

bizzy, I never noticed our timelines are right on track with each other! My due date by scan measurements and ovulation date would be Aug 3, also! Its Aug 1 based on internet calculations of last cycle, so I just never changed it. =) Exciting!

 

[bizzy27]

I know!! And its hard keeping up with you because you dont have a journal.. Shame Shame

But I just noticed you are having a boy also... thats awesome!!

 

[NewbieLisette]

I just wanted to add how absolutely lovely and special all you ladies are...truely can't think of a better bunch of girls who all love and support eachother...its a crazy turbulant time for us all and I totally feel it too when I'm reading the sadness and just wanna cry and hug you ladies! I'm happy to hear the hope of our positive steps give you some inspiration too...please know on my part I will stalk and follow all you ladies praying for brighter days ahead!

To add to some cutness can we all do some new bump pics? Here's mine!

 

[bizzy27]

OOOHH GIRL you are getting so big.. (in a cute way )

I will post a new one tonight when I get home..FOR SURE!!

 

[jd83]

Lisette, looking good! I just updated my avatar yesterday with my new bump pic

 

[KozmikKitten]

Lisette you are adorable!
I'm having maternity pics taken on Wednesday so I'll be sure to share some then!

 

[KozmikKitten]

I know!! And its hard keeping up with you because you dont have a journal.. Shame Shame

But I just noticed you are having a boy also... thats awesome!!

I know! I never got into the whole journal thing! Just didnt have the ambition in the beginning with all the worrying with being PAL!
All things considered, this has been a very uneventful pregnancy, so I wouldnt have had much to share in a journal anyway!

Here's mine

 

[BabyBumpLove]

Hello ladies,
Thanks for the kind words. I am very excited to finally be in the 3rd trimester! Each day closer to my due date makes me feel more reassured that this baby is coming. I think to myself ok if baby was to be born now he would probably be ok. Anyway I better post a bump picture. I havent posted a bump picture since I was like 14 or 15 weeks.

 

[struth]

Evening ladies - I have been a bit rubbish in coming on BnB lately so it took me a while to catch up. There has been lots going on - I hope everyone is okay (or as okay as they can be).

Chisox - I'm glad that you have had more reassuring information about the cyst. You must still be concerned (who wouldn't be) but from what you have said it sounds as if the risks are low and that the chances are that your little one will be okay. I do hope so x

Mrskg - was so happy to see your good news and then so sad to see your update. I'm so sorry honey - we all know how it feels and I pray that you never have to go through this again. You will have your rainbow baby, I know it x

JD83 - glad to hear that your niece is getting better. I hope she continues to do so

Lisette and Puppy - fab bumps! Kosmik - can't wait to see yours! I love seeing pics, especially of ladies who are close in dates to me. I have had so many conflicting comments about my bump that I don't know if it is big or small! I will post a pic below but it is a little bit old now. I think it was 2 weeks ago so I would have been just over 26 weeks... I'll do another one soon!

Babybump - I agree with the other ladies/men. We are here for each other through the good and bad and so we should post good and bad news. Whilst the good doesn't undo the bad, it is good to celebrate with each other. Oh - and welcome to the 3rd tri!!! Woo hoo!

Nicola - still thinking about you honey. I hope that you have the support that you need at this time

Ladies - I have removed the last few posts regarding issues and concerns you have over a member.

In future - do NOT discuss this publicly on the forum. Report any concerns you may have to the moderating team and allow us time to look in to it. Calling out troll on the forum makes our jobs harder, because it allows tracks to be covered and evidence to be removed.

Thread will be re-opened - but no further discussion regarding this please. We are aware of the situation and are looking in to it

 

[bizzy27]

YAY we have the thread back... WHOO HOO

 

[BabyBumpLove]

Yikes I'm glad we are back!
