[stroan]

Hi,

It looks like we filled up the last thread before anyone had a chance to start a new one, so here we go! Hope everyone finds their way over.

@twittlebee could you possibly link to the Google Doc again?

@karigan195 so glad you were seen again and got a bonus scan. Lovely to get a bit of reassurance too, hope the next 7 days go quickly for you.

So sorry to hear that munchymunchkin take care of yourself x

Oh Munchy, such sad news. Be kind to yourself, thinking of you xx

Thank you everyone for the reassurance earlier, I'm glad to know it's not just me. It's such a hard time- I'm absolutely certain I was nothing like this with DD1, even though there were lots of issues with the pregnancy

Munchy really sorry to hear that. Take care xx

@Stroan oh god so I had a temp of 37.8. I took a paracetamol and it's now 37 on the dot. Yeh i have headache, a chat just feel crap. Mum came round and brought me a baked potato with tuna mayo..amazing. And a pear and some yoghurt so I'm all sorted now. She's just left so I hope robust try and sleep.

Munchy I’m so sorry that’s really shit. Will be thinking of you, take care of yourself.

@MunchyMunchkin so sorry to read this, take care of yourself x

Just catching up, really sad news @munchy. Take care xxxx

So sorry Munchy 💐

Telling the parents today. Slightly nervous as nhs scan is tomorrow but scan at 11 weeks and 4 was good surely it’ll be ok.

His parents will be easy might just text mine then avoid them for a month 😂😂😂

Oh Munchy I am so so sorry. I really hope that you can be kind to yourself and take it easy. Sending you so much love.

I've had red spotting today. And I know I shouldn't (but I know my cervix pretty well after tracking it's position for so long whilst TTC) I had a quick feel of my cervix and it's super low and open... not a good sign. I wonder if this, with the loss of symptoms and the cramps I've been having I'm gonna have bad news at my dating scan in a week .

Good luck @Karigan195
I am really worked up about telling mine for some reason-it will be the hugest shock! My mum is lovely really but doesn’t take surprise well and will no doubt say something awful. She really doesn’t mean it but she is very anxious and unexpected news brings out the worst in her . Normally I can bat the mad comments off but this is so huge!

I told my yard owner this weekend as I knew she could tell there was something up. I’ve barely been riding and have ignored the weekend bringing in rota for weeks as I don’t feel safe handling some of the silly ones right now.

We will get NIPT results a few days before NHS scan so will hang on for both.

Oh @TwittleBee
I really hope it is nothing! You’ve had so many scares hopefully this is just another. I think your scan is 4th, same as me? The wait is torture!

Yeah it is the 4th, due to go on holiday the day after as well! Just feel like it's the last pregnancy repeating itself tbh!

Good luck for the NIPT results and telling your mum Megan . I know what you mean, my MIL can be like that. It's hurts even though you know they don't mean it and will come round.

Oh twittle I really hope you are wrong! The odds are really in your favour, but I know that doesn't really help!
Good luck megan and karigan with telling the parents. I told my mum yonks ago (And in fact she's on her way over to stay for a week- it's my week 9, so I hope I'm the Average Woman in so far as this is the worst week for nausea- the cavalry is here!), but won't tell the in laws til it's all confirmed and scanned and we've told the kids.

@DustyDoorframes
I’m not telling mine until we are 100% sure all ok as they both turn 70 this year and have given up all hope of any grandchildren. I couldn’t cope with their disappointment (my Dad especially as he has longed to be grandad-his brother has 7 grandkids) if we have bad scan results-if I were much younger I’m sure I’d have told them as I’d want their support and they might expect us to be TTC. But they know nothing of us trying as we are old and will be so surprised, so I only want them to know when there is something good to tell.

Yes, that's our reasoning with telling the kids, more or less. It will be such big news for them to take in, best avoid if it all turns out to not be happening!
My trust offers NIPT if the normal scan comes back with shorter odds than 1:1000, which mine is bound to as I'm 38. But I'm wondering if I have to wait for the proper combined results before having the blood test for the NIPT, in which case I'll be at least 16 weeks by the time all the results are in, by which time I'm sure I'll be showing so the cat will be out of the bag! We refused any downs screening with the first two, but it feels like there are more people involved now there are 4 of us, so knowing seems good...

Thats why we opted for NIPT at 10wks privately, if we need to act on it I wanted it to be sooner rather than later. My trust also offer it if you are high risk but only after their results. We are almost 41 and 46 so bound to be high on combined test.
