JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2014 DUE DATE CLUB - THREAD #3

I can understand feeling numb and also bitter. Keep taking deep breathes, your son will heal that part of you. For now its okay to feel this way. Lets just pray that he is as healthy as can be. xo

I loved DS2 right away but I still felt like something was wrong or missing everyday and I was distracted and almost bitter. Don't want to feel like that the rest of my life.
To top it off they found an echogenic focus of the heart and we need to go up and get a specialized ultrasound. Dr isn't worried because it's just a "soft marker" and everything else looked great and healthy but for us it's just enough to cause us to worry about downs

From2to3 we just found out that we are having a boy after swaying for a girl. I cried for the first few days. I completely understand the numb feeling. Our daughter has called the baby "baby sister" since the beginning and was upset to find out it was a boy and that made it harder on me. I'm hoping in a few weeks the numb feeling will get better for you. Hugs.

Thanks ladies, I truly do appreciate everything! It just felt like everything was finally making sense and falling into place...just to find out I was dead wrong!! I just have to accept that me and my family aren't meant to have a girl for whatever reason. And there is no doubt it's a boy, even a 4 yr old can see that. But at least I didn't have my hopes up the whole pregnancy to be "let down" at delivery.

I don't know when our scan will be. They are supposed to call anytime. I thought our doctor told us we had the option to do the MaterniT21 blood test instead, so I'm not sure which we will do or when.

Hope all is well

Hi ladies. Hope you are all doing well. I am going to my Doctor's appointment today. Little one is more active now, I feel her more often, I guess she's finally filling up the empty spaces and running out of room to stretch her little legs :). Will be good to see her on scan again today.

Just found out my sister is pregnant again and I was quite surprised the has a bit of GD this time. Her first was a girl and she really wanted a boy this time, more for her husband's sake who comes from a traditionally strict japanese upbringing and apparently a boy is a big deal for him, the thing is, she is not sure she wants to have anymore children, so he's already 'telling' her they will try again after this little girl, she's only 10 weeks and found out with blood testing as well. We were so excited thinking if might have been a boy as I have so many cute boy outfits to pass on... but not to be. She says it was an 'accident' though, 5 days before O, I guess Shettles worked for this one. :)

Braxton hicks anyone? I have 8 more weeks to go and it seems my belly is constantly rock hard! I don't remember having these so much with the other kids. I have an appt Friday so will talk with my Dr. Then.
It's just so uncomfortable!

Oooo so exciting snipsnsnails! good signs that the time is near, can't wait for those initial feelings ;) this one already seems to have the better of me I lie on my side and it will kick until I change to other side :/ ...

I know its number #4 girls but I'm feeling massive at only 23weeks! Attachment 18155

She wanted the 'pigeon pair'.... like the majority of people but I guess she has to figure out that if she had all boys would her husband allow her to try again for a girl?... I know that if mine were all girls we would be trying for that boy.

To my knowledge I've not had any yet (I take it is not something you'd miss!) I have had one or two times where my tum feels hard but I've put it down to it being baby leaning heavily on the area. When does it usually start?

From2to3, sorry you didn't hear pink...

Our little bubs also has a echodense focus, but if all other soft markers are normal, than here they do no follow up. I looked into it and there is no predictive value of a focus on down's syndrome if only the focus is the only 'abnormal' marker. The sonographer assured us it was only calsification, and commonly seen.

Well, we did the harmony blood test, so i'm positive she hasn't down's syndrome. Maybe materniT21 is a good idea for you, if your doctor opted that.

Hope everything turns out just fine. GL
