Thanks JL! I can get MaterniT21 for $400, but I can’t justify spending that much money on something I’m going to find out in a couple of months :/ if we had it lying around I would definitely do it though!

Ladies, help! I'm panicking. I've been testing every day to check lines are getting darker, I know I shouldn't but can't help myself. They just don't seem to be progressing very well. It's 6 days after my bfp now, shouldn't they be really dark?!

I believe with all my heart everything is fine with your sweet baby, wait a few days before testing again. That’s what I did. Said a prayer for you! ❤️https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5bbf22540f.jpg

Mummy maybe stop for a few days? I know it’s hard but I think it can cause a lot of anxiety.
I’m so excited, I spoke with someone different and I actually can have MaterniT21 without paying so much out of pocket! My doctor recommends waiting til 11 weeks, so I’ll be able to have it next week. I’m so happy, I did not want to wait until March to find out [emoji16][emoji16]

Thanks Mommy and greydore. It was great to see your pics mommy, thank you. It's completely put my mind at rest to see how yours varied by the day like mine are doing. I will try and step away from the tests!! [emoji23]
Greydore that's great news about the test, what actually does it do? Is it just for gender? I'm not sure we have it here.

Mummy it checks for your risk level of certain trisomies and can tell you the gender. It’s a simple blood test. It might have a different name in the U.K.? Finding out the gender so early is nice, but I also want to know my risk of having a baby with a trisomy. It’s not diagnostic so if it comes back high risk for something you’d need an amnio or cvs to know for sure.Quote:

I asked if it could have healed with a week of rest which she said was possible but she said she can't see anything resembling a bleed? I'm trying to not get too excited as her machine wasnt as clear as the other machine last week in the epu. I have a scan next week in epu to check status of bleed but for today I'm delighted baby is progressing as it should!
Now we need to decide if we want to be told the gender when they phone me.
We didn't find out on our 2 girls and I loved the surprise each time. I swayed boy and I would love a son. I'm wondering if I am better to find out now in case I have gender disappointment and can process it or wait for the surprise at birth? After such a late loss last year i just want my 3rd (& final) baby so overall I couldn't give a rashers what it is so long as it's healthy and mine!
Thoughts? X

Mummy as greydore says it tests for down syndrome, Edwards and a 3rd I can't remember what it's called. This nipt test which is called Harmony (like called this in UK) also can tell gender and checks for gender chromosome issues (like if a girl is missing an x chromosome) I had mine done today. It was €430. We haven't decided if we want to learn the gender yet. Hope this helpsQuote:

Greydore so excited for you to find out!!
Mummy stop testing!!!! I did ONE test because I knew I'd freak out and also stopped temping straight away, just in case my temp went down even 0.001 of a degree!!
Dreaming such a relief she couldn't see any bleeding! Fingers crossed all is good :)
I've been off for a couple of days and so much to catch up on in here!
Momma bear 4, Welcome and congratulations on baby #5! The nausea is so hard, did you have that with your previous pregnancies and find anything that worked for you? I know a few mommy's have found some relief taking vitamin B6 every six hours. I took that and unisom each night at bedtime and it did definitely help a bit.
Greydore, mostly what I'm craving is things like pasta, potatoes, carbs, lol. Right now I'm totally craving chilli cheese fries from Weinersnitzel, lol. Also all of the sudden lately I'm craving sweets and chocolate.....
Milka, I'm so glad you're starting to feel a bit better. Sounds like you have a couple of awesomely talented daughters, and now one more little talented family member on the way! I am sorry you did not get the gender results you were hoping for hon. Comments from friends and family can be so hard to deal with, I've totally been there. I'm glad your husband seemed to take the news so well though, and that your feeling happy still about this. Have you told your ten year old yet? That'll be fun!
Mlka, what name have your girls picked out for a girl? Do you think you'll use the name the girls picked? I can't wait to read your update after your gender reveal! Cupcakes sounds so fun! I think mourning the boy you wanted is completely normal and understandable. I'm so sorry you lost your boy... and I'm sorry you're struggeling so much with what rude comments people can make, and about dissappointing others. That's so not fair to have to deal with at a time when you want people to be excited for you!
Babybeaublue, people can be so ridiculously shallow and insensitive!
mummy2boys, welcome and huge congratulations! I can't wait to get to know you too! So have you told him yet? :)
Wow Grace! Those are some great pictures! How precious! Congratulations!
Geekmama, Great to hear your baby looks so healthy in there! I'm sorry you have a cyst in your ovary you are having to deal with during your pregnancy and facing a surgery for it. That sounds painful and stressful. Sending you huge virtual hug!
mummy2boys, mine didn't get too much darker by day either. I think if you want to see the obvious differences, you have to wait a few days between tests. Maybe you can ask your dr for the quantitative hcgs to do two days apart so you can see if your levels double? Fingers crossed for you
Greydore, so happy you'll get to find out your results sooner that you expected! Yay!
DreamingRainbow, keeping fingers crossed for your NIPT results! So good to read that everything looked great with your baby and that your subchorionic bleed seems to have resolved! Whew!
OK, I think I'm current now! Lol. My little guy had a fever last night all night and so I'm really hoping it isn't the flu. He does seem more himself today, although a bit fussier that usual. He hasn't had any other symptoms other than fever and lethargy all night. Today he's eating and playing and protesting things that aren't going his way, lol (ie toy not rolling on carpet like it does on floor) lol. Oh the frustrations of a toddler lol
Ellirosanne glad he’s feeling better! Lol he sounds just like my two year old!

Dreaming I do have two boys, and I didn’t end up swaying. I considered it but decided to leave it up to chance, since I’m not dying for a little girl. The MaterniT21 test is the same as Harmony, just different name. Can’t wait to head your results if you choose to find out, I definitely will be :)
Ellirosanne I hope your bub feels better, so sad when your kids are sick!

Ellirosanne thanks and congrats to you too. I dont think I had it this bad. Is all day everyday. I just went to my appt and my doctor told me about the b6 too. I am going to give it a try. How are you feeling?
Momma bear 4 my nausea was minimal in first trimester, now that I’m in 2nd trimester my appetite is nonexistent and when I do eat I get awful nausea and heartburn. I won’t complain though. Lol just laugh at those articles that say you should just be feeling great now in your 2nd trimester and I’m like yes... not even close. Lol anyways I hope all that are getting hit bad in the first trimester don’t have any in the 2nd trimester.

Mommy the heartburn is sooo terrible. Do you take Zantac? It’s safe and works so well.

Mommy 2 apples. Oh man is no joke. I dont remember feeling like this. I am hoping it gets better in the second trimester. If not I dont know what I would do if it stay for the entire pregnancy. Hopefully this vitamin b6 helps.
Hoping b6 works momma!

Thanks mommy 2 apples I hope so too. I am crossing my fingers.
I was looking at my prenatal vitamins and it has b6 in it already. Should I still take an additional b6 vitamin? I am confused.
Momma bear you can take additional B6 up to 3 times a day. Unisom and B6 at bedtime works great too

Yay Momma bear!! I had HG with my oldest so I know how debilitating nausea and vomiting can be. Happy it’s working for you.Quote:

I just feel like I am bloated. People usually start noticing my belly at 6 months. So lets see this time around when I start showing.
I’m prone to cysts and have had them during pregnancy as well. They have always left them alone in pregnancy aside from monitoring and they’ve always shrunk on their own.Quote:

I showed very early with my last two kids. I remember people taking notice around 10 weeks but this time around it’s much smaller and barely there. I bought a bunch of maternity clothes that I found on sale today because it was so cheap and I know I’ll need it later.
The flu season is upon us, I’m so scared to get it. I have mixed feelings about getting the flu shot. Did anyone get the flu shot while pregnant?
Mommy2apples, He's such a good little guy normally! The past couple days he has started this new thing where when something doesn't go his way, or he doesn't get something he wants, he litterally throws himself on the ground crying furiously and writhing and litterally like scooting backwards on his back across the floor. If I try to pick him up to console him, he writhes his way out of my arms like fighting me and grabbing me and pinching me with his hands in frustration! I was so stunned the first time he did it, I literally just stared at him in amazement, in shock, lol. I am trying to figure out the most effective good parenting way to manage these. I think their probably just classic toddler temper tantrums that I thought we would completely escape since he hadn't had them yet, lol. I've tried picking him up and holding him even though he's fighting me and talking to him in soothing tones, and ignoring him and keeping myself busy doing something else. He doesn't seem to be able to resolve it himself though. Like if I ignore him, I have to only do it for so long, and then pick him up and comfort him and he'll then calm himself down by nursing. But I don't think he can calm himself down yet without some help. But it only works if I give him a few minutes to roll around throwing a fit first lol. Ugh, Anyone else deal with this, and what did you do? On another note, gosh, that stinks that you're not feeling better! The second trimester is supposed to be the fun enjoyable one! No fair!
Greydore, thank you! He seems to be all better now, it was a wierd short lived bug. Only symptoms he ever got were a fever and lethargy
Mommabear4, I feel better now thank goodness! I hope it works for you! I agree with Greydore, take extra B6 and unisom at bedtime....that's what I did.....it didn't completely take it away but it helped a lot
