Oh sorry I must have misunderstood. I thought you were still waiting on them. That's great!! So the stuff they thought they saw on ultrasound doesn't mean anything? I'm not doubting or trying to worry you, just asking if this is correct because that's absolutely fantastic and makes me feel so much better. [emoji1]

The findings are still there so there are 2 possibilities baby is normal but small or slighty microcephalic SGA without any congenital reasons for it. Now only birth and milestones after can tell. So am patiently waiting

LMSM my first was about 12 hours once it got going, he was back to back and i had 3 days of on-off early labour before, my second was 4 hours start to finish with no early labour at all, i woke up waters went and contractions started straight away, 4 hours later he was out, number 3 again no early labour it started and 2 hours later he was born, #3 was by far my most intense and painful labour (sorry to say that but i may as well be honest!!) i have had quicker labours since but they were nowhere near as intense!! i think its very sensible to prepare for a unassisted home birth just in case

Ttcblue thinking of you and Oliver and really really hoping this measurement turns out to be nothing, i really feel that the odds are still in favour of him not having DS so lets focus on the positives (measurement taken late, its under 6mm, only flagged due to your hospitals policy of anything over 5mm etc etc) and wait for this next scan, whatever happens this is not your fault in any way xx

bluebooties so glad they have been able to rule out so many conditions, a friend of mine lost 2 babies to hydrops fetalis it is such an evil condition i have everything crossed that baby is just little

Ash i did think it was Es-may but wanted to double check!! gorgeous name and i love her nursery set up, fingers crossed you've no need for the hospital over xmas especially if dh wants to go to a different one, i completely understand you only wanting to deliver at your hospital and not anywhere else.

4blue2pink - I didn't have this reflux in any other pregnancy so its new for me. And I have about 12 weeks left lol.

Ttcblue - I hope everything turns out well for you!

LMSM - march would be a bit too late to answer my question as I'm due early February haha. I also had a nightmare 2 or 3 nights ago that I went for an appointment and my baby had passed and my next one was a miscarriage. I've been so paranoid about it lately. I wish I had an u/s machine! Although I do have a Doppler at home. We had 2 late term stillbirths in my family so it's not uncommon (none were mine other than my miscarriage but that was early). My only issue is I don't have time to use the Doppler in the morning so I just wait for movement when I get to work.

mommaxo3 its rough isnt it i had such a bad night with it last night, even sat bolt upright in bed it was still burning right up into my mouth, hoping for a better nights sleep tonight!!

Blue: i guess that's all that you can do now, so I completely understand the worry. That's a great sign that all came back normal, I bet baby is just a tiny fellow. All the same, i will keep you and baby in my thoughts and prayers.

4blue & mommax: thank you both. My appointment is Friday morning at 7:30, so only 2 days away. I must say I'm somehow excited just to see his sweet little face again, even though I'm so scared at the same time.

Ttcblue that being said i have heard of many being told of increased neck fold thickness but without any other markers i have yet to see anyone get a positive DS with that alone. I will pray for you and hope u hear good news on level 2 USG

4b2p – ouch that reflux is not fun! It started here as soon as the all-day sickness subsided – the things our bodies do, eh? And yet, we still keep wanting kids somehow ^^
Assume you have some anti-acid already? Hope you manage to get some rest – your days would be so full on with your tribe
Ok – so definitely think I can assume #3 (unless she positions herself in a way that may slow things down), will likely be faster even than #2 lol appreciate the honesty – I did feel somewhat stunned after DD2, as if I hadn’t had a chance to really realise I was in labour lol but actually, DD1 was more painful – maybe because I was scared and hence tense it all being new…
Will surround and educate myself as much as possible on unassisted birth – better safe than sorry!

Mommaxo3 – nightmares are terrible I think we all worry, especially if we have experienced loss ourselves or others close to us - and as much as it may not be constantly on the top of our minds, until we have a healthy bub in our arms, our brains don’t allow us to believe 100% they are ok Like you, I worry if she goes quiet for too long – but I think between work and 2 young kids, I tend to just not have time, like you, to notice it as much – and I read that they can sleep between 20 to 23 hours a day, so the activity we feel, sometimes is just them settling (kicking that cushy placenta a bit ^^) in a more comfy sleeping position – and gosh does the kid hick-up lots already, atleast reassures her momma haha
I will see all you ladies expecting your 3rds before me, and see if there is a trend on that ‘3rd = wild card thing’ lol there are a few before you, so maybe you can determine that too hehe
Have your thirst and other symptoms passed hon?

Mommy2apples – you have your f/u scan soon don’t you? Can’t wait to hear!!!

Ttcblue – not long to go, which is good, you should get some reassurance soon so you don’t delve on all the possibilities – though it does sound they are being overly cautious (which is good in a way), nothing more – FX!

Kat, Sky, Iwant4, Max, Srg, and others – where are you???

[srg09cag11]
