May 2015 - thread 4 - the one where it all gets real!

[Titsalinabumsquash]

Here we are. If someone could link to the stats that would be fab.

Yay!!!! Got my Nifty results back finally and I got lowest risk for all trisomies, Downs, Edwards, Pateaus, Turners etc. I wasn't really listening after that!

I'm over the moon!!
Oh, and I'm having a boy!!

congratulations on the test results. Yay to a boy!!

Hi all, can I join? I've been following your threads but wanted to make sure all was well before I joined in (previous MCs).

I'm due 19th May and its all got a bit real so I cant live in denial anymore, pregnant out of the blue with DC2 when DC1 took years of trying/meds! I had pre-eclampsia with DS so wasn't planning on any more.

All of the previous pregnancy symptoms have returned with a vengeance, I forgot how glamorous pregnancy can be.

Excellent news turquoise. Welcome and congratulations kerplunked!

Brilliant news turquoise, hurrah!

Welcome totally (and all the other newcomers who I've missed...)

Glad you're feeling a bit better today inthewoods I think a lot of those fears can be quite common, but do talk to your midwife if it's overwhelming you No idea if this helps at all, but what helps me is knowing that things did get better - ie, yes it was awful, but it was temporary, so if I struggle again this time I know that I can get past it as long as I remember and am not afraid to ask for help. Don't know if that makes sense at all? And hope it doesn't sound flippant, it really is so hard when you're going through it.

*2preteens" Oh no! Hope it's short-lived.

Tits poor you, hope the end of the ms is in sight. And marvellous advice from your DS, if only I'd known sooner!

I'm back after a fab weekend, just updated the stats and added as much info from the newbees as possible.
Turquoise,,, yay a boy! You are not on the stats so i've added you.

but if..,, Intheewoods, turquoise,scottish, totallyketplunked, smirysar, and banana would like to update from a pc clicking link at the beginning of thread... Or add on to here
Age, location, dc#, 20 week scan date, gender prediction,
I will add you x

Hi Everyone,
I just found out about this thread, I'm due on 13 May, my first ever pregnancy. It was very much planned and wanted but both DH and I are feeling quite nervous about the prospect of being parents. I have pretty much every symptom under the sun and have been feeling pretty rough since day one, I'm hoping a praying for the magical 2nd trimester super woman feeling to kick in, but no sign of it yet...
Congratulations to everyone else due in May, I'm looking forward to spending the next 6 months with you all. xx

Just had a bit of a scare, went to the toilet, then wiped and a bit of blood on tissue, rang the EPU and they said it could be nothing, as DTD with OH last night, and at 15 weeks things start getting heavier, i.e. womb and stuff, so might be a burst blood vessel. Was very nervous ringing them though, at least my mind is slightly more at ease now

I feel confident to be added to the stats now!! Would someone who has a PC mind doing it? I only have an iPad. I'm 35, from Durham, this is baby number 2, due date 14/5 and don't have any other details at present ??
Welcome to all the newbies!

Feelingblessed I hope the bleed turns out to be nothing. I think it's very common after DTD.

Hi all. I've been on the June thread (I recognise a few of you from there) but I had my 12 week scan today and they put me as 12+6, making my due date May 26th. So I'm going to hang around on both threads.

Blessed I had similar a few days ago, no DTD though. Was told not to worry unless it carries on and that its common after dtd. Luckily it stopped.

Bleeding has stopped now. Thanks for your support guys.

Turquose So made up for you-those are great results! Yay for Team Blue!

Hi Totally! Glad you are joining as and all is going well

Welcome MrsL -think we are all nervous 99% of the time!

Feeling It does sound like a bit of irritation from DTD but nonetheless very scary to see. Lots of hugs xx

Yay for a positive scan scottish I can't see your pic though (no idea why as i'm on my laptop)

Thats fab turquoise and yay for team blue!!

Ladies, what's this Facebook group called?

turquoise yay so pleased for you! And a boy, lovely!! I think you must be the first to find out? Wonder if we will all be mainly blues or pinks

Thanks for the congrats everyone. My proper letter with my testing results came today and my odds of Down's syndrome went from 1 in 28 to 1 in 87million and even higher for the other trisomies.

I wasn't going to find the sex but I've been so worried that I had to have something to keep me going!

Glad your scan went well Scottish and Kyz!!

ellstor the FB groupies secret. PM me your email address and I'll send you the link to join

I'd have needed something to cheer me up to Turquiose so totally understand the need to find out

Good news on your scan kyz - seeing Baby is the best!

Evening ladies I had my 16 week mw app today and heard baby's heartbeat only just though as the silly mw didn't seem to know what she was doing and was looking concerned about not finding it but I could feel it moving around so I knew it was still there iv also be rushed forward for the glucose test instead of having it done at 28 weeks they've booked me in on thurs

Good stuff turquoise. I just got my results back from my combined test and it's very low so v pleased. Feels like another box ticked and I am feeling more positive about this pregnancy. Even wore my baby on board badge on the tube today!

Good luck with that 2. Apparently it's not that pleasant but I have to have one later on too.
