Thanks guys. DF and I have been talking and we have decided that it doesn't matter what the amnio says we are going to have the baby anyway. My mum reckons that we should not bother with the amnio in that case but I think if something is wrong then I would rather be prepared to deal with it. I still have my fingers crossed that Froggie is healthy (as the last 2 were) and we don't have to stress about anything. Oh well only 2 more days until the dr appointment and then make a date for the amnio at the hospital.
Had the dr appointment and it's not trisomy 21 I have to worry about. It came back with a 1 in 47 chance of trisomy 13. So amnio here we come. Unfortunately trisomy 13 babies rarely survive gestation or if they do then they mostly pass away within a week of being born. My dr sent the referral for the amnio off today so hopefully it won't take to long to get a date. Now just need to stop blubbing and try to be positive. That is going to be the hard part.
Oh Kim I have everything crossed for your little bub. I got goosebumps reading your post. I will pray that everything turns out ok!! Hopefully you can have the amnio asap.
Thanks Leigh but after some logical and non emotional thinking and talking to diannescruffy, I have come to the conclusion that my dr is full of crap. He scared the ***** out of me for nothing. Dianne was saying that her Emmanuel was very clearly showing abnormalities on the scan but mine has come back completely normal. We have decided to still have the amnio but purely for peace of mind. Now I just have to wait until the hospital contacts me with a date.
How did Lara like her birthday??? Meara loved the present opening bit but was still a bit confused about the reason for the rest lol. She did blow out the candles on her icecream cake though. The other day we were chatting and I asked her "are you my cheeky moo??" and she said "no I'm a princess............and a big girl!" lol aren't they cute at this age
kim - glad to hear that you are in a positive headspace about the whole thing. GL and I hope you get in soon to give you a bit more piece of mind.
Yes they certainly are so cute at this age. The other day Olive started moving her tummy and said "look mum, my baby's moving around"
Does anyone know if hj has had her bub yet? she was due around now i think.
I'm nearly 27wks now. I met with the midwife at the hospital yesterday to book in and have a chat which was good. She said that my varicose veins will only be a problem if i have another long pushing stage so not entirely sure what is going to happen with work and labour atm until i see my doc next week. I have got my GD test on Monday so am praying that it's fine as with the gallstones and being pg i already can't eat so many foods. I am worried though as i have been really addicted to sugar cause it's about the only naughty food i can have atm. This pg is definatly not as easy as the last one!
6 more weeks left of work now woohoo!
dh is off overseas this sunday for a week which will be hard. i'm not used to the single mum thing but it will also be nice to have a week with my girl before the bub comes. it's going to be hard with cc and stuff though, glad i'm not working f/t.
