BROOKING NO ARGUMENT! we will be full to bursting with Springtime graduates all preparing for their sneeze births (part 15)

[NewYearNewBoo]

Thought I would do us a new thread, I have gone seasonal again, but we will be so busy welcoming our new gradustes it will soon fill up, I am Brooking No Argument

ignoring the fact I could be sneezing on this thread

Just popping in to say I'll be thinking of you tomorrow Cartoon, I hope it is a positive appointment.

Boo, what you describe sounds just like bh, I got loads. They started at 17wks with ds!

Ooh, actual BH's I am unnaturally excited by this, it makes it feel like things preparing for a big sneeze :)

Cartoon brooking for you tomorrow. Take a note book, and remember they will explain it all 3 times over if you need them to. Make sure you ask everything you want and no question is too daft!

No need to go wire free in bras when pregnant, just make sure you are in the correct size i.e. not fitted by m&s etc and you will be fine. MN specialise in online bra fittings nowadays :)

Cartoon everything will be fine I'm sure.

Boo are you on the raspberry leaf yet?

I did see you mention the wired nursing bra's a while ago Rubber I am going to seriously investigate those when feeding is established (toddly didn't take it at all so I'm not hanging my hopes on this one too much)

Not on the raspberry leaf yet but I am on my new gym ball as often as I can This baby will be ready for a quick induction!!

so bloody scared

Oh Sparks you poor thing. When is your appointment with the dermatologist? Though if it is stress related I'm not surprised you have it again now.

I think it might be a good idea to speak to your mw about a physio referral for your back, they did wonders with mine and I go back on Friday to start physio for my hips (I'm saying it's my hips thought it's looking much more like pgp)

I really hope your Nan is found to have something that can be quickly and easily treated. Please be kind to yourself

Toon I am thinking of you this morning, I hope you get some answers and reassurance. Good luck, report back when you can

Hoping all the new post grads really got spoilt yesterday, mother's day with newborn snuggles and breakfast made by toddlers and daddys with added chocolate for all!

Not much to report here, me and booby are just waiting for our next scan in 2 weeks, that's when I think we will start to decide on the plans for delivery.

Oh x post Toon I'm holding your hand today I really hope for positive next for you. {{{{{Hugs}}}}}

Thinking of you today cartoon and brooking no argument that pebble will be just fine

Cartoon, so sorry to hear your news. I'm sorry I haven't seen your posts before today. Brooking really hard for today's appt to be good news, although they may not be able to tell just yet. If it helps, my story is that DD2's nuchal score was actually done at 13+5, so the very last day it is possible to do. They thought I was only 12 weeks but put my dates forward at the scan. I don't remember the actual number, but I think it was above 3. 3.2, maybe? It was the combined result with the blood test that gave me the high-risk score - my PAPP-A score was bad. I was only 28 and still came out with a score of 1:10 overall. The hospital handled the notification really badly, which didn't help - left a voicemail asking me to call them (no other info), but by the time I picked it up it was after 4pm and they were shut, so I called Triage in a panic and eventually someone called me back who said 'I can see from your notes that you have a score of 1:10, is that what you want to talk about?' Anyway, to cut a long story short, we opted for an amnio at 16 weeks. The waiting was horrendous. The procedure itself was not so bad - I could see DD on the screen and you could see the needle approaching her amniotic sac, but she was quite happy even when the needle went in. I felt much calmer after seeing her, weirdly. The hospital told us it would take 3-5 days to get the results, but they actually called me the very next afternoon to say that DD was okay - she didn't have DS or Edward's or Patau's. I got the more detailed results by phone a couple of weeks later, including the sex. I didn't have any symptoms at all after the amnio - no cramping/bleeding or anything. Fast forward 18 months and DD is a year old, bright and beautiful! I really hope it's the same for you. I'll be watching for your updates and if there's anything else I can do just ask.

pebble died. can someone tell the other brookers.

I will, I'm so sorry

cartoon I'm so so sorry to hear that, ((((hugs)))) to you and MrCartoon

Oh Cartoon so sorry to hear your news. I'm crying just imagining how you're feeling. I hope you're getting lots of love and support from your family and friends just now. [hugs]

Oh, cartoon. I am so very very sorry for you and your husband. I hope you are able to spend some time together off work over the next few days. Do come back and chat if you would like to.

Cartoon, I'm so so sorry. Thinking of you and your husband.

So very sorry for your loss Cartoon.

Oh cartoon I am thinking of you and MrToon, I'm so very sorry for your loss xxx

sorry if i repeat my self or anything in this post. im starting from the begining as i plan to post this on all 3 brooking threads. so as most of you know we had 2 early missed miscarriages last year. we saw mr shehata privately for tests and was told i had very high natural killer cells. i was on his treatment plan for this pregnancy. it got us further than ever before. we had several early scans and things seemed to be going well. i was just starting to relax and have faith that our baby was finally coming. at our nhs dating scan on wed we were told pebble had a raised nuchal measurement and there was other excess fluid. our nt results came back very quickly with a 1:40 risk. we had an appointment today with a fetal medicine consultant to find our more info and have a more detailed scan to start looking into what problems pebble may have. but sometime over those last few days pebbles heart stopped beating. they found that there was no nasal bone and there was also a lump like a hernia in the stomach.
they have took bloods from us both for testing and will do testing on pebble. we have requested (hoping) that they will be able to tell us the sex.
i am booked in for an erpc first thing tommorrow. part of me is grateful i am still at a stage where they can do this. i am also grateful for the fact that nature decided this and it wasnt a decision we had to make, if you see what i mean.

So sorry to hear of your terrible loss cartoon Sending you lots of love & hugs.
