Wanting, wow you have been through a lot at such a young age and it's amazing how well you handle it. Your boys are lucky to have you!

Glad you're scan went well but that stinks you couldn't see the baby much. As for not getting a nub shot, that may not be a bad thing. At lease you don;t have something to obsess over for the next few weeks! Nubs can drive you bonkers sometimes!

Soo true! I am quite relieved that I can just bipass all the nub-cessing! And that I still feel like I have a shot at my DG, I was so scared to see a girl nub! Lol! Now I can just get the nurves rolling for the gender scan!

I totally agree healthy baby is a priority. That's something I worried about with each pregnancy. We couldn't get pg with DS1 for 1.5years which were the longest years in my life. It was so heartbreaking every time the period started and I was loosing hope we will ever have children. Thank god I found a good doctor and after a laparoscopy I fell pregnant. I was so happy being pg with DS1 and when he was born it was the best day of my life. We have a special relationship, we spend a lot of time together and I am so grateful to have him. When we were ready for second baby I fell pg immediately but it was all good to be true and I miscarried at 11 wks due to Turners Syndrome. Since then I am a nervous wreck when it comes to pregnancies and I constantly worried while pg with DS2 if he would be okay. It didnt help I was spotting constantly and I had over 10 scans during the whole pregnancy. I feel very lucky now I was blessed with two beautiful children and that's all I wished for when I couldn't get pg. This pg is an bonus and if this baby is healthy I will be over the moon. But I have to stop myself wondering if my sway had some negative affect on the quality of my egg and whether the baby would be really okay..

Aww thanks everyone you guys are awesome!

I wish I didn't get a nub! I am however doing really good about not obsessing... I hung my u/s pics on my fridge and covered the nub with a magnet lol

Again, I want to thank everyone for the lovely support I have been getting on here. Especially reading some of your stories puts everything in perspective. You ladies are amazing, strong, and wonderful mommas. We are all so very blessed with the children we DO have. DS1 was also quite speech delayed at age 2.5 (and had qualified for therapy). He only got a couple of sessions, then we moved from TX to OH, he started pre-school and has improved tremendously since then (even though it was just a few hours a week). He just turned 4 and his pronunciation is still a bit off compared to other kids his age but he really talks like a little chatterbox and we (including his teacher) understand him 95% of the time. At 2 years old, we couldn't even get a yes or a no out of him and it was very hard for a while. His little brother, who just turned 2, speaks almost entirely in complete sentences, which boggles our mind on a daily basis! And sometimes that's not a good thing because he is in this phase right now where, when he gets mad, he will yell at you:"Be quiet, Mama!" (or Dada, Keiko, our cat, lol).
Anyway...I'm glad I hopped on here and get to share a part of your journey with you.

Interesting that there are so many little ones here that are speech delayed. DS1 is attending a school for speech delayed kids. The good thing is that the groups are very small. He couldn't handle usual sized groups. He has made great progress during the first year there now though. When he was 3, he could barely say anything. But he has many more issues than the speech thing, and we are in therapy a lot with him.

Wanting, so great that your little one is being loved so much by the other children!! Kind of really relieving. Thank you

Diva, I'm sorry you didn't hear girl. But congratulations on another little man!

It is very interesting to find so many people in similar situations in such a small group of people! It is in a way comforting cause I don't know anyone in person... Having a DS with severe autism is hard and going out with him it's nauseating to hear strangers comments cause they just think he's a bad kid... If anyone has some tips for how to deal with behavior problems I will take some... I never have put him on meds cause to me the risks don't out weigh the benifits.... But he is so bad he hits him self so hard... He's never hit his brothers thank god... He has crazy meltdowns constantly... I am now desensitized to the sound of high pitch screaming lol... He seems to always be at his worst when spring comes its so weird ...


I was curious to how every one sleeps... I am normally a tummy sleeper but that's obviously not very comfy now so I try to sleep on my side but every night I wake up flat on my back :s

Had a really crazy dream last night lol... is anyone following the Jodi arias case?

[Northern_Shutterbug]

I've just had the midwife call to say I'll be getting letters through saying that I'm to see a consultant and that I've had extra growth scans booked because I've got low PAPP levels. My risk on bloods are 1:70,000 apparently, but she said that was for downs but didn't mention any of the other genetic disorders.

Feeling really worried now ;(

[Wanting-a-girl]

Omg when is your next scan!?
