Mum to three -- I'm so sorry about the testing scare. What did they say your risk for down syndrome was after the scan? With DS1, ours was 1/169 and that was still high enough to freak me out (this was after the quad screen though which has a lot of false positives. A level II scan with a wonderful perinatologist finally calmed as down. He assured us that mothers are being "overtested" these days, meaning that even the slightest variations are often seen as alerts to a larger issue, when in reality, they are just that, variations.
Anyway...I'm inclined to think you'll get great results from the MaterniT21.
Northern -- can't wait to check on you in just a few hours! I remember all too well how I felt going in.

Mum to Three- That nub looks boyish to me! So exciting! Sorry about the scare, hope you get positive news soon.
Northern- Can't wait for news today! :fx:

Are you having a scan today thorz?
-
Mum to three sorry about your testing. I do think that they tend to over test and end up freaking you out more than anything. If your NT scan was normal I think that is a really good sign. I had the MaterniT21 test done (it is all my OB does) and I was still freaked out even after getting a normal result. It does look like you could have a boy in there!! If you do get the MaterniT21 testing done you can find out gender and know for sure.
Good luck to Northern and Thorz... update soon!!

Am getting so nervous now! 4.5 hours!
I keep texting hubby reminding him not to leave work late and I think he's starting to get fed up with me! The baby is obviously picking up on it too as its feeling rather squirmy and active today.
Eek! :nails:

Ladies I need some quick advice!! Sorry tmi but I CANNOT poop!! I have never had constipation with any of my pregnancies, actually I'VE NEVER had it pregnant or not! Well I'm miserable now and have been taking regular fiber pills for the last few days because I heard that is the only safe thing you can take! But it isn't working! I actually think its worse since taking them! What can I take or do to
help get me back to regular and FAST because I'm in actual pain because of it!

Prune juice, go swimming, warm bath, a long walk, bran flakes, these all help me!
Here in the uk they can prescribe Lactulose which is apparently good.

Here you go Lactulose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia you may be able to find it in the states?
