Jox, only 2 more days hun and you will be able to get your scan . I say, the fact that the blood turned brown is a really good sign. Shows that its old blood, so maybe your uterus just got irritated a little? With my spotting it started out pink and then I had brown discharge for like 2 weeks after. It was more like brown mucus than actual brown discharge like you get before a period.

Thinking of you jox ... Not much sickness but I am sleeping loads the pills knock me out

 

[ElmoBumpToBe]

Jkel hard being knocked out when you have the other kids to take care off but Deffo an improvement on the sickness X

Jox only one more sleep till you can hopefully be reassured. I have positive feelings about it xx

 

[Jox]

Thank elmo, I hope so. This time tomorrow i should know either way xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

Jox, I have positive feelings about it too like Elmo.

 

[Jkelmum]

Will be thinking of you
Tomorrow Jox 💗

 

[Jox]

[LoraLoo]

Fantastic news! So pleased xx

 

[Jkelmum]

So happy for you 💗

 

[Mrs W 11]

Glad all was well jox, wonderful news.

We had our 20 week scan today also and I am very relieved to say all was fine. The baby was measuring right for Gestation and she didn't see any issues at all, just a happy healthy baby. Over the moon!

jox - great news! I bet you are SO relieved

MrsW - Don't you just love it when the scan goes so good and there's nothing to worry about?!

AFM - I had a meeting with a genetic counselor at my MFM office today. Even though we did CCS testing we wanted to get an idea of what other options we had for further testing. I'm a little freaked out by the appointment to be honest but only because talking about issues with my babies is scary. She told us that we could do a blood test for down syndrome as well as the NT. If we just do the NT we will get an idea of what our odds are but with the blood test they would give us a 1whatever number they came up with) chance number which would be more accurate. When we did CCS testing they specifically looked at chromosome 21 which is downs and chromosome 18 I believe which is for trisomy 18. They came back normal but the CCS testing does have a 5% chance I believe of being wrong .... it's all scary. For my age with twins she also said the "baseline" odds without doing the NT or the blood work is 1:500. Which is a .2% chance but it is still very scary to think about. Going to try some relaxation exercises today since this kind of put me over the edge and hope for the best. I have my NT scan on April 15th.

 

[Jox]

Ash do u have any reason to be concerned about chromosome issues etc??

My other half carries a chromosome fault but it's not something we'll look for in pregnancy xx

 

[ashknowsbest]

Jox - I don't have a specific reason to be concerned, nothing genetic runs in my family but it just seems so scary. I am a carrier for cystic fibrosis but my husband is not. Although she did say that if we didn't do sequencing it's as accurate ... scared me! But we're going to get the files out, send her what we have and if DH wasn't sequenced he will be so that we can get a more accurate result.

 

[Kiwiberry]

Jox, so happy to hear baby is doing well!! Lovely scan picture .

Mrs W, Glad you had a good scan hun!! I am so jealous that you get to feel baby moving around .

Ash, I know it is pretty scary. I am always worrying about the "what ifs" because in my experience (like Jox), bad luck always tends to find me so im on alert all the time. Stay positive mama, I bet everything will be ok with your babies .

 

[Jkelmum]

Sorry not on much ... Kids are off school
And I am still feeling yuck and tired xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

Jkel, how are you and your baby's Daddy doing? Sorry, I did not know what else to call him.

 

[Jkelmum]

Very strange ... He's great when I see him so caring wanting to rub my tummy ect but Inbetween times I only hear from him if I make the effort when I asked him what was wrong he said he was just tired and working long hours .. I am just going with the flow as I can't stress xx

 

[Jkelmum]

Going back to Drs tomorrow hoping he will just give me different pills but know in reality he will most probably admit me for fluids 😨. ... But a private scan Sunday as driving myself mad with the Doppler as I keep finding two different heartbeats and just need to know. Considering they've never rescanned after seeing a second empty sac

 

[Jox]

I'm glad uve sorted a scan out Hun. Maybe both babies r still in there and part the reason y u r suffering as bad as u r!!

10 weeks today for me!! Feels amazing. I'm still tired a lot, nausea got me a lot yesterday and I'm struggling to sleep but other than that I'm all fine xx

 

[ElmoBumpToBe]

Really glad you have sorted a scan I can completely understand you not waiting until the 21st. Like Jox says I wonder if both twins are there and that's the reason you have been so ill. Hope for the outcome that is best for you xx

I'm waiting for a letter from the hospital about seeing the consultant. Hard to say when he will decide to see me but if it isn't for a while then I guess I will have to take that to mean that I am OK to not be taking the clexane as least for now. Either than or just because the hospital is so busy right now!! X
