With angel babies in the sky, some of us expecting rainbow babies, others still ttc and definitely swi!!

Too that's fantastic news!! I'm soooo pleased for you [hgrin] that must be such a huge weight off your mind [hgrin]

!!! Too that is FANTASTIC news Sending you as you can't have !

Ohmigod, ohmigod, it's okay! Bean is fine and hasn't got Down's, Edward's or Patau's! The hospital called me about half an hour ago - they said results often come back this quickly but sometimes they have to be rechecked and so they don't want to say it will be this quick in case it isn't. I wasn't even nervous picking up the phone because I didn't expect it to be them. I am so happy! I would be doing cartwheels if I wasn't still supposed to be taking it easy!

Big day today. Angel I am thinking of you and so looking forward to hearing all about it. Come on GILS, you are such a special little girl . Freya is doing really well thank you for asking. She's 8 weeks now and a heavy 10lb11oz She has the most beautiful big gummy grin, especially at nappy change time (likes a clean bum, there's my girl) and a powerful set of lungs that she exercised very thoroughly this morning on the 2 mile walk to the health visitor clinic. Very stressful and made me walk superfast so I could get there and sit down and feed her!

ciwi great news that baby is happy

too lovely to hear Bean is bouncing around in there, can you feel it yet?

I was away this weekend so missed blue's babyloss thread but have since read it and wept. So much waste of so many precious little lives. Too thank you so much for mentioning Bobbie, I was really really touched by that. I think when a baby is lost they can become a taboo and people never mention them (incase they "upset you"... lets not even go there), and so when someone is brave enough to say their name, the name that you long to hear every day, it's overwhelmingly special. Strange that it's strangers on the internet who remember my daughter and so many of my family and friends say nothing, (parents and sister excepted).

That sounds promising Too. Hope it keeps jumping about and that you're taking it easy!
I'm feeling bad as I'm early shift today and never got a chance to wish Angel good luck. I'm sure that she'll be cuddling into gils as I post this.
Hi to everyone else x

MW has just been - heartbeat all present and correct! She kept losing it because Bean was jumping, but she always found it again in a different place, so nothing to worry about. I am reassured by the fact that Bean was wriggling. It must be a good sign!

Razz, sorry, I forgot you were still waiting for results! How are you holding up? I have spent the last hour or so panicking. Perhaps staying off work wasn't the smartest plan, but DH will be home for the afternoon to hold my hand. Anyway, I probably wouldn't have coped with work either.

Angel, thinking of you and GILS - I wonder if she's here yet or not?

That is a wonderful thought razz.

too really pleased that amnio went well and was not too uncomfortable, you are still in my thoughts as you travel what always seems the slow road to results.......I will be having mine next tuesday. How are you feeling today?
ciwi fantastic news about your doppler and how great that your consultant has such positive views, so very pleased.
mel I had a scan at 6 weeks this time and they could see heart beat so all fingers crossed that you can too.
Cant wait to hear about angels GILS news, I would imagine that she is holding her in her arms now

Hmph. MW was here to listen to heartbeat, got as far as taking my blood pressure and then realised she'd left the doppler behind! She's coming back at lunchtime to do it instead. Bean, this would be a good time for you to practice some kicking. I thought I felt movement last night but I'm not 100% sure.

angel good luck for today give GILS a huge hug from me xxxxx

too glad the ammnio wasnt too painful and fx for those results for you.

ciwi glad the scan went ok x

Angel, so excited for you - hope all goes smoothly and easily! Are you ready, GILS? Xxxx

angel I wish you all the luck in the world for today, Georgie will be looking out for you and Gils. Give gils a big hug for me.xxxx cant wait to hear of her safe arrival. x

Arh Blue we can all relate where you re coming from. There Is a whole range of ." disappointment" to experience Isn t there? I know , unfortunately, after what we have all experienced ours is the worst. Not to " bag" trophies or anything but it just is. You can t compare a few months of ttc to a few months of ttc post losing a baby. Many hugs to you.
I m not a " preachy" person but all I can say , through my experiences, is hang in there none of us know what's round the corner.( feel free to tell me to shut the Fu** up!!!) we will all get there we deserve to. Hugs xxxx

green sorry your boss is so awful :(

august have you asked what they'll do about checking for the future with the cord?

mel not too long to wait for your scan, hope it goes well :)

too so glad all went well, hope Friday comes fast and that you're fine until then

ciwi glad your scan went well, are you more relived now? Obviously will still be a worry for you but it's another milestone xx

angel thinking of you for tomorrow, really looking forward to hearing your news :o Very excited :o

ciwi Im so glad the scan went well, and the sonographer was nice.

too wow what a tale, I think I would have screamed out when the needle went in that far! Glad the little bean and you are ok. Lots of rest for you, (milk it). And fix for the results on friday.

angel I hope tomorrow goes smoothly and its one of the best days of your life. Cant wait to hear but dont rush to tell you enjoy your little one.

lots of luck tomorrow angel, looking forward to hear all about gils x

Too so glad you got through today & fx for the results. Well done xx
Mel this time we saw a HB at 6 weeks. Not long to 7/11 xx
Ciwi excellant news xxx hope you re relieved. Xx
Blue hope u re ok?
Hi Shakey, Jane xx
Green I ve found most of my bosses to be knobs. I ll certainly post when I can x
August hope you can get some answers from your consultant x
Hi Razz hope u re ok?
Been back in for another trace ; all good. Out for lunch & sorted all my stuff out .
Will post when can. Love to all xxx

Ciwi, oh good, that sounds highly promising! Excellent news.

Mel, they ought to be able to see a heartbeat at 7+3 - they saw one at 6+5 with me. FX for a nice clear hb!

August, I think consultants tend to gloss over things too. My PM results were pretty inconclusive - placenta was only operating at 80%, but that could be normal; head was on 95th centile but weight on 10th, so there might have been some IUGR but maybe not as brain:liver ratio was normal; death caused by hypoxia over a few days, but no really clear reason why. I found it very hard to understand and really only accepted it when we got a second opinion from an obstetrician unconnected with the hospital. It is such a horrible time, trying to absorb everything when nothing makes much sense.

So relieved that things have gone well today for you girls. Now just the results for you Too. remember plenty of rest [waggy finger out] xx

Hi girls, all went as well as it could really, the placenta and blood flow is normal and baby measuring normal for dates. The consultant said he is optimistic and when dh asked if we are looking good to get to 24 weeks he said oh yes, and then some, so hopefully that means that this little one is likely to get far along enough to be ok. I have to go back for another Doppler in 4 weeks and if that's ok no more till 30weeks. he even gave us a 4d scan and picture, couldn't tell if it was a girl or boy though as baby wouldnt let him see. Not bothered at all about that though.
too glad things went ok for you too, I am sure your results will all be fine on Friday, just take time out to rest and let dh look after you x
angel the report from my scan today says 3 vessels in cord so they can definitely tell on a Doppler scan, maybe you should ask for one of those next time?
mel yay for 5 weeks, I had a scan at 6+6 this time and they saw the heartbeat x
Sorry to everyone I have missed, have had a stressful and tiring day and am shattered now!

A little - not very much. The needle hurt a little bit going in, and then a bit more when it went through the wall of the womb. Nothing terrible, though. They said I might get a burny feeling as they drew the fluid out, but I didn't. She put the needle in (I was watching the screen, not looking at my tummy, and DH was made to stand in the corner, so he couldn't see the needle either) and then said it had stuck on the membrane and she would have to reposition it, and then went stab! That didn't really hurt any more - just a bit more pressure, but I could see the needle shoot down closer to Bean's head, which was scary to watch.

DH has been pampering me and has now gone out to rearrange the garage in a slight huff - think he is all wound up to ridiculous heights and needs to work it off a bit. A bit of physical exercise will help.

too Im glad today went well for you, I hope your dh is looking after you! Did the amnio hurt?
