Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[I Love Ladybugs]

3boys....I have been thinking of you all day and I can't offer advice, only hugs. And lots of them...... (((hugs))) (((((HUGS)))) (((((hugs))))) (((((HUGS)))) I am not sure how things work in your medical system, but couldn't they offer you CVS sooner? My heart goes out to you! (((((((hugs))))))

Thanks ladybugs. Apparently they won't do a cvs after 14 weeks?? Not sure if it makes a difference but my placenta was fundal so dont know if thats harder to reach?? I already measured 13.5 so by the time I get the blood work I will be over 14. I honestly don't know??

I think it's all riding on the blood tests. Even then... I can't see the bloods bringing it down to a normal level.

Not great news from me. Baby had a high nuchal. Got scanned twice. Waiting for the results from the blood test to see my actual odds but the doctor was very pessimistic. mentioned about all the tisomys and the higher chance of congenital heart defects!. Said they will ring me and then we will decide whether to have an amino or not.

I'm doomed. I don't produce healthy children any more!

3 Boys, I'm so sorry that your scan didn't go as you hoped. Sending you a huge hug I'll keep everything crossed for you that the bloods come back okay. Tree seemed hopeful that all's not lost on the other thread, I really hope that's the case. You're in my thoughts. Is there anyway your midwife can offer you some support this week and help explain in a bit more detail? It's rotten that you have to wait until next week, but as much as I love the NHS that is the downside Try to stay strong & positive, but know that we're all here to support you x x

3boys - I know I responded on the other thread, but just wanted to say again that I am praying for you and your precious LO!

Myrainbowgirl.....those are awesome HCG #s!!!! I would be happy with those...I can't compare this pregnancy with the boys or even some of my losses as this and the 3rd m/c time did not have betas done.

As for me, Friday is so far away and seeing my MD and hearing baby will be good for my mental wellbeing. Nothing really new to report here....we did lots of work these last few days on our shed/shop and I am keeping out of trouble!!

3boys- I have been thinking about you all night since I finally logged on and read your news... I am sending you the biggest hug right now. I know there's nothing to say to take the anxiety away but don't lose all hope until you know for certain. These tests tell you about your risk of certain defects, but they don't tell you for certain... you know what I mean? I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers

[3boys]

Thanks charlee, it means a lot! I'm trying to be positive but google is not my friend. I should step away from the research!! X

[Charlee]

UGH I know... stay away from google! (I'm one to talk... I always google everything, much to my dismay after the fact)... I just wish I could take all your worry and pain away. I know that feeling all too well, and I know you do too. When I lost my DD last year I just kept thinking "Not again, not again, not again!" There is nothing that anyone can say or do to help... It's such a lonely feeling. I just want you to know I am thinking of you all the time, and hoping with every ounce of my being that they come back with hopeful news for you. It can happen, and I pray you are one of those stories....

[Charlee]

Sorry I've been m.i.a lately... I've been having a super hard time with gd, and being on here makes it worse I think. I know I have no right to even have an ounce of sadness, but my rational mind just can't quite grasp that right now. I know I will love this little man, and I will be so happy when he's born, but right now I'm still mourning the loss of my 3 child dream... my dream of 2 boys and a girl. That was always my dream family... and I almost had it and it was taken from me. Now I have to rethink my idea of "perfect"...

I was doing okay at first, but obviously reality hadn't set in or something. I have moments where I'm totally fine and happy, and then 10 mins later I'm crying. I think this makes me sound totally looney haha

Clearly I need a reality check or something...

[I Love Ladybugs]

Charlee...you are so amazing. You should know that...and you too 3boys....I think that you are being a rock right now, despite the pain you are in. I hope and pray that you are both watched over....and that your children get to see how incredible their mommies are!

OT...I stepped on a screw on a board tonight....blasted pain in my foot right now. There was blood all over the yard and then my house. Lucky that my MD appt is tomorrow anyway...she now can look at my foot! Laugh away....I was pissed at my hubby for letting the neighbor kids into the shed/shop and allowing my youngest to climb the latter...rescued him, but stepped on this board.
