I had the nt screen af 13 weeks and the tech said if she had 2 guess she would say girl, but im not getting excited because i know thats very early.

Hi all!

Its been ages since I've been on here! I have very limited access to internet at the moment but thought id pop on and say hi and say congrats odd!! How exciting!! I am having a private non-medical gender scan next Thursday so really hope I can share your joy too.

Im actually feeling really worried about things though. Ive gone from being so sick to NOTHING! No sore boobs anymore, no heartburn, no nausea or vomiting, NOTHING! No movements, I don't even feel pregnant at all. Im so worried that this poor lady doing the non-diagnostic gender scan next week will find that theres no heartbeats.

I have had no dr apps or anything as the Dr i originally saw, referred me to the specialist fatal medicine unit at the hospital, but I haven't had a phone call from them. I tried to call them but they won't talk to me, only my Dr, so I have tried to call her and left messages explaining it all with the receptionists only to be told they will get her to call me, but still no call from anyone!!??!! And now my phone has been cut off cause were struggling with money big time atm so I can't even make anymore calls!! I can't afford to go to the Drs again, just to spend $90 to ask her to contact the hospital again?!!? Grrrrrrrr!!! Our health system is ridiculous!

Anyway, thats my rant over.

I hope everyone is well. I haven't had a chance to read back through everything yet.

my anatomy scan is on 4th November but I booked a gender scan on 7th October which is a secret between us

Had worrying news from the midwife yesterday who said I came up as high risk for downs but the risk was 1/110 so to me that doesnt seem high risk (its 0.9%). I havent been able to have a conversation with her to find out what exactly made it high risk. Im not having the invasive procedures as its a higher (1%) risk that the baby would miscarry. The other option is the harmony tests but they are £500 and too expensive.

mum- good to hear from you and maybe you have no symptoms now because you are over the bad stage? I think we are due at the same time and I am 14 weeks now. Hope your scan goes well, look forward to positive news coming from that.

Congrats odd fantastic news honey I was wondering where you got too!!! Enjoy pink shopping!!

Mum I think you just turned the corner and are feeling good big congrats!!! Im sure its nothing to worry about, scan coming up soon woooohooo really really hoping its your girl/girl or boy/girl!

I think I would be pretty hopeful if my radiologist said girl blessed mama!! Good luck for your anatomy scan, it will speed by!

Steph hoping you get some more answers it is worrying but its still pretty low chance, hope your midwife gives you some other suggestions that are non invasive.

Felt normal the last two days hoping that's my ms out the door!!! 12 weeks Sunday and have my scan booked for 12.5! Can't wait to see little bubba and hoping all will be well (and no giant boy nubs!!) hehe. Xx

Steph ive heard of soo many women who came up high risk and it end up being nothing. And ur risk is still so low. Try not to worry.
Kit kat how fun! I hope u see a flat nub

Congrats odd!!! So exciting! Enjoy pink shopping! I was told girl at a elective scan at 15 weeks and at another scan at 16 weeks!! Both said they had no doubt it was a girl! But it is still hard for me to believe!! The place I went at 15 weeks will do a second scan for half price within 2 weeks and today is the last day and I've been thinking of going just to make sure 1 more time... But that is probably crazy of me! 😆

Yeah, we did the elective scan at 14 weeks to find out. It was $100 but she also did a full anatomy scan too, so it was nice to put any health related worries to bed at the same time. I think you have to decide for yourself how much money it's worth to find out early :-)

Mum, try not to worry. The past week or two I was feeling the same way - worried as I wasn't even feeling pregnant, but now I've finally started feeling him move around, so that's a nice relief. It's still not a lot, but I'm trying to just go with it and not worry because stress from worry is also not good for babies. I'm sure everything will work out and you will come back to us with fabulous news next Thursday!

Steph, when you talk to your OB, find out why the higher risk - was it due to measurements, blood tests, or age, etc. And no, I don't think 0.9% is very high... stay positive!

Blessed Mama, I would definitely have a hard time not celebrating, at least a little on the inside, lol. Fingers crossed your next scan confirms it!

And Aoii, I would think 2 different scans telling you the same thing should give you confidence, but if it's not and you have the funds, do what makes you feel best!

For me, I'm feeling pretty good. Weaning myself off the MS meds now, and I still seem to be feeling good, so that's nice. My bump is finally growing and now that I can feel him moving and can even sometimes find body parts, it's hard to believe he's still as tiny as he is! He seems to be huge and all over my belly, lol. I have a feeling he may be a large baby. My daughter was 7lbs 7oz at 3 weeks early, so hoping this one comes early too and doesn't have too much time to become enormous, lol.

Anyone decide for sure on names? We're still up in the air, but Declan (Dex) seems to continue to be the front runner.
