To ask for some distracting stories/CF incidents whilst I am waiting for results of a fetal anomaly test

[LampGenie]

I have posted before about becoming pregnant at 43, having had cancer and been told i am in infertile - except I am not as I am 12 weeks today.

I am awaiting the results for the Vision Total anomoly test and am just so utterly distracted by it I can't focus on ANYTHING. If the results come back with something serious I know we have some decisions to make (and I know not all disabilities can be identifed too before anyone starts) but I just feel the baby has got so far, and is already so much of a baby it would break my heart but that medical termination would have to be considered.

With this in mind, can anyone distract me with some anecdotes from their CF databanks that would keep my brain occupied..?

Mumsnet Classics has a fair few CF threads with some howlers in there if you head to that section.

Thank you :)

@LampGenie how did it go? Are you okay?

Thinking of you and wishing you well, Op.

No results yet :( They were ‘hoping’ for today, but could be tomorrow, latest Friday apparently so the waiting continues....

School friend asked me to print her homework for her, I agreed, asked her to send it to me.
Then she asked me to do it for her, because she ‘had to go to her aunties house’ and ‘it wouldn’t take long anyway’.

Work colleague asked me to swap shifts, lied about the reason, said it was a graduate job interview (on a bank holiday!!).
Same guy kept asking me on later occasions, I ignored the texts, then he told me to ‘let him know as soon as possible’. I also ignored him.

A girl I travelled with (whom I ended up thnking was a total bitch) told me at uni she kept using someone's butter from a shared fridge until one evening she noticed they'd carved "Fuck Off" into it.

Hello. Know I am coming back to an old post but it looks like te tests were completely clear and I am having a little boy :)

Congratulations op! That must be a huge relief

How amazing! Great news, congratulations 🥳

Congrats OP!!

Congratulations!!!

Oh congrats OP

Biggest cf maternity wise, was all the women bringing their partners with them to the scan (that’s fine), who then took up a seat and man spreaded as much as they could, even if another pregnant woman needed a seat or a poor woman was scrunched up small in the seat she was in

Oh that’s brilliant- so pleased for you!

I literally have no idea who you are but I opened this hoping to read some hilarious CF stories and then read your update.. and now I'm crying. Happy tears!

Congratulations !!!

It’s not really a CF story but on Saturday my son had his swimming lesson, five minutes before the end the parent of each child had to go and wait in the changing cubicle. I went in the changing cubicle, shut the door and sat down, all the other parents stood in the doorways chatting, I felt like a right prat! .... sorry it’s the best I could come up with for you!

Oh OP @LampGenie 😭I'm so so pleased for you wishing you well for the rest of your pregnancy 💐

Oh I’m so happy for you OP.

I had a clear NIPT at ten weeks that told me I was having a healthy boy, after three mcs and a ruptured ectopic. I was 39. I remember the sheer relief now, as he’s scratching my bra to get to more boob!

Huge congratulations.

That is fantastic news! Congratulations x

Fantastic- wishing you a smooth pregnancy from now on and the joy of meeting your son x

What user43 said!

I’m so happy for you.
Best of luck with it all.

Obviously all babies are special but after everything you’ve been through, this little lad will be just that little bit extra special.

Wonderful news OP, so happy for you!

Yay! That's great news. I missed your original post but i remember how stressful i found it waiting for cvs results. (Had 10% chance of a problem)
Really pleased for you

so pleased for you OP x
