Im sure theres nothing to be concerned about :D

Oh Daintree, I'm sorry it wasnt better news for you :hug:

I hope that your appt with the specialist goes well, and you come out with more answers than questions.

My thoughts are with you hun x

:grouphug: :comfort:
sorry it wasn't better news ... hopefully things will look up this afternoon.
thinking of you xx

DD - just came across this thread and wanted to let you know I am thinking of you. I'm sorry you've had such a hard day and I hope that your appt this afternoon has given you some reassurance. :comfort:

Hugs babe...i hope you can get some more info soon.

:hug: DD what a horrible thing to go through, i will be stalking this thread to hear how it went this arvo. Will keep everything crossed for you too :hug:

Well I am back from my second ultrasound. It went as I expected, they would like me to have a CVS, they offered one there and then but I said I wanted a couple of days so I am booked in on Friday for the CVS, I am really not looking forward to it as I had a horrible experience with the Amnio when I was pregnant with Matilda :(.

Baby was given a 1 in 2 chance of having down syndrome, Matilda was given a 1 in 3 chance when I was pregnant with her, she still has a lot of skin on her neck.

I really don't know what to think at the moment, I am just hoping that it isn't to bad, I know that I will deal with it either way and that another special baby is a blessing but it is going to be hard until we know for sure what is wrong.

Thankyou for all of your support ladies :grouphug: it really means alot.

:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

Thankyou Pixie - do I see a little bump on you? or is Bump your beautiful girl?

Hugs hun, thinking of you at this stressful time for you


I am here to chat if you ever need

xoxoxo

DD - Bump is Beth's nickname.... I hadn't realised that people might think I was pg :doh:!

Oh DaintreeDream, :hug: I really hope the news is better than expected and no matter what, that you find the courage and strength to go through this second mothering journey.

Oh hunny im so sorry. All the best for Friday :hug:

:hug: I'm so sorry that you are going through this.

Thinking of you and your family. Hoping the time passes quickly until you get some answers. :hug:

:hug: Deanne

Thinking of you, hope you get a good result on Friday

Big :hug: DD...thinking of you and I hope everything goes ok on Friday. xox

DD, So sorry this is happening to you and your family! I will be thinking of you and praying for the health of your baby. I hope and pray everything turns out ok andf you get some good results on friday.

I don;t know just what to say but you are so lovely and I want you to know I really will be thinking and praying for you xo

I am so sorry you are going through all this again. I don't know what happened with your amnio but please try to be calm about the CVS. Not all amnio/CVS experiences are bad, my amnio did not hurt at all, no cramping, nothing out of the ordinary at all. I think you need to think of it like pregnancy - one pregnancy can be completely different to the next one- same goes with amnios & CVS. This time around it could be a far better experience for you, particularly if someone different is performing it.

:hug: :hug: praying for you and thinking of you, goodluck if you decide to go ahead with the testing and hope you get some definite answers too

Oh D, i am so sorry you have all this ahead of you again. Your babies sure are lucky to have you as their Mum. As hard as things get you always seem to be so loving, giving and positive. You inspire me, i think your strength is amazing. We'll be here to help you through. Hope the amnio goes ok. :comfort: xxxxxxxxx

Big :grouphug: DD, I am so sorry you are going through such a stressful time, sending you all the big squishy cuddles I can for Friday and the wait ahead.
xxoo

DaintreeDream, I just want you to know that I'm sending all my hopes and best wishes to you, your little baby and your family. Thinking of you :comfort:

That little bit of pressure you can feel is me holding your hand...

:comfort:

Oh DD :hug:
So sorry to hear this, I hope you get better news...

:hug: Thinking and praying for you and your family. I hope everything goes okay on Friday. Your babies are so lucky to have you. :hug:

Oh DD - i was so hoping and praying that u would get better news! :hug:

DD - Sorry to hear about the news you recieved yesterday. Thinking of you and wishing you calmness and strength as you wait until Friday.

Thankyou so much everyone, I cannot believe the support I have behind me, I feel so blessed to have such wonderful people here on BB to turn to during this time :grouphug:.

I didn't sleep much last night, things were just playing over in my head. It is all just to familiar.
I said to Feeb last night (thankyou for the chat) that it is not the long term that worries me, or even the short term actually, it is the delivery and first few months, Matildas delivery was hard, meaning she was not breathing and was rushed to NICU she spent 3 months there (over an hour away in the city) and had horrible surgery where she had to be put to sleep for 3 days otherwise the pain would be so bad for her, no baby should have to go through that and I truly thought I would only have to go through it once.
I know that this may not happen again and I really pray it doesn't but when you have lived it before it is hard not to look back and worry.
Short term, I know my pregnancy was great with Matilda so I am not worried.
Long term, once Matilda got out of hospital my worries went away, yes she still has special needs but I have her with me and she is perfect.
I think I need to just need to work through my feelings, at least this time I kind of know what to expect, and the poor doctors are going to know about it because I am not going to take a back seat this time and get walked all over.

Sorry for the babble... thankyou again :grouphug:.

DD :comfort: I don't think I am the only one here who is completely in awe of your strength. You are an amazing woman and an awesome Mother. I think it was Maz who said that God only sends special babies to special mums and in your case that is 100% true. Still hoping for a miracle for you, but no matter what I know you will handle it all with dignity, strength and grace. If there is any power in prayers and positive thoughts there is a tidal wave of love behind you.
:grouphug:

Ditto what pixie said!

DD, you give so much to this community - hun, it is only fair that we give something, in some small way back to you :grouphug:

:hug: You are not alone in this, and you are right, this time will be different as you have some idea where you might be going and how to deal with it. Pixie said it all... But know, if you are feeling like your own personal strength and courage is not enough that there is a bucket load you can draw on here. xoxo

Oh DD, I'm sorry you are facing such stress in your pregnancy. I really, really hope it all goes well tomorrow, and that you get very good news from the CVS :hug:

Reporting for virtual hand holding!

Hey DaintreeDream,
I read all the posts yesterday, just couldn't find the words to tell you I'm also wishing you the best.
You are dealing with bad news and uncertainty. I hope you find the strength you need to deal with it from all the love and support that's been shown on this thread.
Look after yourself and don't be afraid to ask for help. You don't have to be stong all the time.

Hun, im not sure what i can say, but just wanted to let you know that i am here for you, i wish you and bub all the best, and pray it all works out ok, take care my dear friend.

hey sweetie

just want to let you know i am thinking of you and your family xxx

hope everything goes well tomorrow with your amnio

lots of hugs xxx

Thankyou everyone for your ongoing support.

I am feeling a little nervous about my actual procedure tomorrow, and I will have no-one in the actual room to hold my hand :(, but I do feel comfortable with the specialist so I am sure everything will be fine.

I have just (literally, spent the last 2 hours) organising a late notice BBQ on Sunday for my parents 30th wedding anniversary so that should keep my mind off of things for at least a couple of days, I just need to keep busy until the results are in, once I know for sure what it is I am positive I will be able to relax a little.
