Zstar - I had CVS testing at 11 weeks and 2 days as my Ob picked up nuchal fluid at a 9 week scan in his office. It was confirmed at the specialist ultrasound place, I think the fluid was 3.3. I didn even have the nuchal scan as the fluid was so obvious. I was told it was an indicator of a chromosonal prob and it could have been a fatal trisomy, however, the CVS tests all came back normal and the fluid had completely resolved by 19 weeks. I have been tld now that we will never know why bubs had such a high reading. They checked her heart out very carefully too on multiple specialist scans and as you can see I am due in a few short weeks. Really hope you get some answers soon as I know the wait can be awful. Ask to speak to a geneticist as this really helped me understand things!
just thought i'd pop in to say hi cause i got a BFP on monday! i know some of you from the ttc after loss thread and was looking forward to joining you all in this group.
well i am currently 15dpo and just got my hcg test back from yesterday which was 92 at 14dpo. does anyone know if this is ok? my gp has given my three bt requests which i was going to do weekly, but think i might do another tomorrow to check the doubling of the levels. does that sound like the right thing to do?
i have also had killer back pain! i do have a 13kg 14m ds which i'm sure doesn't help but OMG it just aches - is that normal too? now this is going to make me sound completely paranoid and make me look like a fruitcake, but i have this fear of ectopic pregnancy. i had a lap appendix removal in july and i just have this fear that they damaged my tubes or there are adhesions. whenever i look up ectopic preg one of the risk factors is recent abdominal surgery and appendix removal - great! would love some thoughts or advice on this if anyone has any.
aside from all of that - dh and i are very ver excited after a yucky last 6 months so praying and praying and hoping and crossing everything that this bubba stays with us.
sorry for the 'all me' post. hope you're all well and feeling like fantastic pregnant women!
Just have to say CONGRATULATIONS to both CHAPPAS (who WAS my due date buddy - OK - I give up you win! ) and to MeredithD on that long awaited wonderful little girl!!! Depending on the next day I will try and see birth announcements and leave a message there for each of them!!
Easha - IKWYM - last two weeks have been engaged and having fierce pre-labour contractions and backaches - you do get over it! Hopefully - sooner than later for you!
Welcome to new members on the thread - I am a little distracted today - so if I can I will get back to do proper persies!
HannahD - I had the same prob letting go of work because you like to leave everything as schmick as you would like it to be for you - so I can sympathise - handed the keys in only this week despite being on leave since July - how bloody sad am I???
zstar - I hope everything goes well with your test sweeting - a little knowledge is often a double-edged sword for us when we are pg
I hope everyone is going well and that we will see some more little ones joining us!
AFM - sadly we had to put our last dog Shamus the wonder dog of 12 years down last week which was very hard but we have with our DD scattered him with his 16 year old companion Zuna who passed away last year together in the vegie garden so they can play forever and DD wanted to be able to visit them and have a yarn from time to time - I can't believe a 4 yr old handled it so well!
My waters broke at 6.30am this morning and the contractions are getting harder and more noticeable but do not seem active/first stage to me as of yet (but I appreciate they might be different to the first time) - I have to ring my midwife again at 5 pm and she is coming to do a heart and general check - my wonderful friend is here and is coming over tonight to do a massage and bring a 'groaning cake' - yes it is for birth/after-birth and features blackstrap molasses for strength - it is one of these wonderful 16th century traditions my friend loves so much. Depending on how the contractions shape up - she may or may not stay to help look after DD during the birth. We have uploaded our birthing soundtrack and we are tidying up and organising our birthing space in the lounge at the moment so it is nice to be in such a wonderful frame compared to our first disorganised space in homebirthing. I wish everyone a great weekend - I have no idea if bub will present in the next 24 hours or it could be a little longer - we'll have to see - I remember my friend had her waters break/a show on the Sunday and didn't birth her bub until the next Saturday so I appreciate I shouldn't get too hooked on 'when'. Very excited!
NEWSFLASH - MEREDITHD HAS HAD HER LITTLE GIRL! 
) and to MeredithD on that long awaited wonderful little girl!!! Depending on the next day I will try and see birth announcements and leave a message there for each of them!!
