Hello Ginger, Tranquility, Stubborn, Patch, Annie and all the new ladies ((waves to everyone))
Just thought I'd pop on and say hello and see how everyone is doing :)
Ginger huge heartfelt congrats, so happy for you and amazing pic of your future son or daughter! xx
Stubborn heartfelt congratulations to you too, so happy for you xx I logged on to the April anti natal thread and quickly realised it might not be the best place for me :) As an 'older' mum to be I have enough to worry about without other people giving me new things to worry about that I hadn't thought of. :)
Annie all fingers and toes are crossed for you x
Hexy Congratulations!
Wishing everyone boring and uneventful pregnancies :)
Tappy My advice for you would be to give up! We ttc for a year with no joy and then decided to give up and get on with life. I went back to my morning latte and occasional glass of something and bingo the following month!
It's been quite an eventful few weeks for me, think I last logged on at 9 weeks after my trip to A&E and the EPU. Well since then I've been signed off work for 3 weeks to rest, which has been lovely and I don't want to go back :) I had my first midwife appt and I like her which is a bonus, I had to smile at the 'High Risk Maternal Age' in capital letters and highlighted on the top of my notes. I've been told I'll have consultant led care due to my age (I'm 41, will be 42 when baby arrives) Ginger and Stubborn are you having consultant led care?
I had my 12 week scan last week which was nerve wrecking after the big bleed at 9 weeks but all is ok and baby has a strong heartbeat. As first time parents to be we were both amazed at how developed baby is already and we could see her put her thumb to her mouth and stretch her arms and legs. We were so relieved but then the sonographer told us the baby has enlarged kidneys so we're waiting for an appt with the consultant to discuss the implications and we have another scan booked in 4 weeks to check on the kidneys again. I had the combined screening test and our chances of downs are 1 in 270 which is low risk so I haven't been advised to have an amnio. We're relieved our outcome is low risk but 1 in 270 that doesn't seem that low really. Aside from all the medical stuff I'm doing great and still don't have any pregnancy symptoms apart from one....I'm as horny as hell!!! :) It's got to the point DP is starting to hide from me, every time I see him I jump him! :)
