Any news girls @Catconfusion @Kiki061190? Xxx

Kiki061190 · 03/10/2019 17:16

Hi ladies!

Sorry I’m just home! Baby is doing fab! Measuring around 11+6 but they couldn’t do the Down syndrome test or give me an exact due date because baby was too busy playing with it’s toes as opposed to getting in a good position 😂 I had to jump about and it still was absolutely fascinated with it’s feet 😂

Thanks so much for all your support! I’m back the 21st for another scan to get the Down syndrome screening!

Catconfusion · 03/10/2019 17:29

@Kiki061190 yay! I'm so pleased for you. That's made my day. Fantastic news for you both. At least you have another opportunity for the screening tests. The main thing is baby Kiki is doing well. Well done for getting through the scan and the lead up.Xx

Kiki061190 · 03/10/2019 17:31

Oh @Catconfusion I was so bloody nervous! Do you think I can announce? I am so nervous in case it’s too early!

OP posts:
Kiki061190 · 03/10/2019 17:32

Also @Catconfusion can’t wait to hear your scan news tomorrow!

OP posts:
Catconfusion · 03/10/2019 17:45

I can imagine. I will be the same @Kiki061190

I'm not sure myself about announcing until the downs test comes back but then I'm 40 so a bigger risk. A friend of mine though was only 32 and randomly came out high risk, 1:18 chance. It was all fine but she was glad she hadn't announced it as they had quite an anxious couple of weeks waiting for the NIPT results. We'd love to announce on our anniversary on Sunday but won't have the results then so we're not sure what to do. I guess we'll talk it through tomorrow. Your age related risk must be pretty low and baby looked healthy on the scan so go for it if you're feeling good and want to share. Xx

Catconfusion · 03/10/2019 17:47

Thank you @Kiki061190 I'm not feeling too bad at the moment but I'm sure the nerves will kick in when I wake up. Xx

MrsMGE · 03/10/2019 18:10

Yay to baby Kiki! Fab. I know you were so stressed, I was stressing out for you as well! Phew! I'll be raising a glass of gin to you tonight, since I'm off tomorrow, and my work colleagues got me a huge gift box of Bombay Sapphire, would be rude not to! 😂🎁🍸 Xxx

Kiki061190 · 03/10/2019 18:24

@Catconfusion My OH is itching to announce buy part of me is still anxious! I felt I was the most nervous the hour before the scan and going in to it.

@MrsMGE You are so sweet! ♥️ Toast away! I’m just delighted there is an actual baby in there even if it is a little rascal. Just 28 weeks to go!

MrsMGE · 03/10/2019 19:17

Rant alert girls...I got home, all chirpy and happy, looking forward to my Bombay Sapphire and thinking DH surely planned a nice brekkie or something for tomorrow before we go away...DH turned around and told me he's going to work in the morning cause he needs to prep to a meeting he has on Tuesday. 🙄 Am furious. I've been so, so busy, and I was looking forward to this long weekend so much. For weeks I barely had time for myself and when it was his birthday, we had a day off the day before and I've had it all planned nicely and focused on him. He never stayed longer in work this week, not once, and actually went out with his mate last night, came back at 10pm, because, watch this space, his birthday falls on the same day as mine. So he had time for everything and everyone, but not me. I just think after such a shit year he really should have done better.

Tempted to cancel my leave tomorrow and go to work, fuck this shit. I'm miserable and he's ruined the one thing was keeping me going throughout the last few weeks. Xxx

Kiki061190 · 03/10/2019 22:00

@MrsMGE I’m so sorry! Sometimes men unfortunately are not very sensitive and mess up. Please don’t let it ruin your weekend away tho! I know it’s so hard when someone upsets you like that. I hope you are ok!

@Kiki061190 amazing news!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 must be such a relief for you ❤️ so happy for you 😍

@Catconfusion good luck today! ❤️

@MrsMGE oh men sometimes 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ ok sorry to hear. Can't he do it early morning on Monday or evening that day? Or have you planned to stay away on Monday too? Did you tell him how disappointed you are? You should! You really deserve this break after all that's happened. So will you be going today anyway? Xxx hope you get there and can relax xxx

Catconfusion · 04/10/2019 05:59

@MrsMGE I'm so sorry. Men can be a nightmare. I hate it when plans get changed. I hope you have a good time anyway. If you can put it out of your mind for now maybe you could talk about it when you're back. It's hard though when someone makes you mad. Have a lovely birthday! Xx

@SunStruck thank you. I'm surprisingly calm. Got a good nights sleep for once as well although up because of my bladder a few times. I'm just going to go for it and try not to get wound up. I probably will later though. In 6 hours we should know. I just keep telling myself there's nothing we can do apart from go along and see how things are.

I hope you're feeling ok and get some good news after your next test. Xx

MrsMGE · 04/10/2019 07:23

Good luck for today @Catconfusion, stay positive, keeping everything crossed for you & the little bean. Let us know later today xxx

Thank you for your understanding, everyone! Men, indeed. It's little things sometimes that I find upsetting. For example, another thing about this birthday. He asked me what I wanted few weeks ago and to be honest, I had so many bigger things on my mind that I didn't pay attention to the fact my birthday was coming. I genuinely didn't know, material things don't matter to me as much as they used to. But then, I went to Supedrug one lunch break, found this lovely perfume that lasted on me (a miracle), and asked if he could get it for my birthday. I also said it would be brilliant if he could get it a couple of days early so I can spray it for my event. I'm one of those women to whom a good perfume gives a right boost of confidence (I know this is silly!). As you know, the event came and went, DH still didn't even mention the perfume. Don't get me wrong, I sprayed something else, didn't say anything, it's not the end of the world. But I'm upset because he didn't LISTEN. And recognise that actually amongst all the drama this year, I had that one little thought in my head that was very like my old self, and meant something to me. I just feel totally ignored, maybe it's childish, but I roll red carpets for people and give them my all and to get something like this back is like a slap in my face. Xxx

Kiki061190 · 04/10/2019 07:28

@Catconfusion Good luck for today!!!! Thinking of you ♥️

@MrsMGE When I drop a hint to my OH I firmly expect him to remember 😂 sounds like he’s maybe just been a tad insensitive at the moment. I really hope you enjoy your birthday despite being peeved off!

OP posts:
MrsMGE · 04/10/2019 07:34

Thanks @Kiki061190, so did I! I think he's ruined it for me now, I'm just in a bad mood full stop and not bothered about this weekend anymore. It's the second holiday ruined this year, technically third. The first time I got pg on holiday and didn't feel well at all, had eczema, and overall didn't feel well enough to enjoy it. Then we had to cancel another because of the death of our family member in August. Now this. I just can't seem to catch a break 😔 xxx

Kiki061190 · 04/10/2019 08:43

Awww @MrsMGE You are having a tough time at the moment. Sending you lots of love ♥️ I really hope you can speak to him and get an apology and still enjoy your weekend. The whole TTC can put pressure on a couple as well. I hope you both get to enjoy your time together.

OP posts:
SunStruck · 04/10/2019 10:31

@MrsMGE I'm so sorry to hear you're having a bad time 😔 what did DH say when you showed disappointment? Maybe he's planned something else as a surprise later?

I actually don't think they really get how hard TTC is for women sometimes and how it can get you so stressed and down. Don't get me wrong, of course they are sad too when it happens, but ultimately it is our bodies and our fear (which is grating). I really don't think your DH is doing this on purpose, I know you've had a really tough time but he might feel it's all better now and that you're going to the spa anyway, so hasn't even thought about how you're feeling about this little getaway.

I'll take myself as an example, DH has just gone to Japan for 10 days for the Rugby World Cup (booked months and months back), so I'm left alone with this fear of miscarriage impending 🙄 it's not his fault, I would never ask him to cancel because that won't make any difference in outcome for us, but there's a difference in mentality and level of worry between us. He's always super positive, he thinks it will stick 🙄 he obviously has no clue about these alarming hcg levels and I've tried to explain but it's like speaking to a wall 😅

Sorry I'm rambling on, I think what I'm trying to say is that yes it is inconsiderate, and something like him forgetting to buy you the perfume might have just been water under the bridge in normal circumstances because we're all busy, but given how tough you've had it and what you did for him for his bday makes it a big thing. I doubt he's ever thought that far though (mine wouldn't).

Men 🙄

MrsMGE · 04/10/2019 10:35

Thanks @SunStruck. I agree with everything you've said.

DH is still not here, I am ballistic now cause I should have just taken half a day, not a full day leave. I'm cleaning the house like an idiot cause obviously all of my friends are in work, so I got nothing nice to do. Unbelievable. I'm not speaking to him. Xxx

SunStruck · 04/10/2019 11:29

@MrsMGE is too to early for a gin to kickstart the long weekend? Blush your DH better have an ace up his sleeve tomorrow for your birthday! ❤️

SunStruck · 04/10/2019 15:13

@Catconfusion good luck... thinking of you ❤️

Catconfusion · 04/10/2019 15:34

Hey ladies thanks for all your lovely messages of support.

The scan went very well. Baby is doing brilliantly. Was a bit of a monkey at first but we got all the measurements needed. I'm 12 plus 5 now so a day ahead than the last scan. All measurements were normal so just waiting on the bloods. We're so relieved! Xx

MrsMGE · 04/10/2019 15:45

Awww great news @Catconfusion ❤️❤️❤️ Here's to baby Cat! 😻 Hope the second trimester will be a smooth ride for you xxx

MrsMGE · 04/10/2019 15:48

@SunStruck I should have got on the gin at 7am this morning, maybe I wouldn't be in such an evil mood today! 😂 DH turned up at 12, started packing then, we didn't leave till 3pm 🙄 Now he's telling me the pub he was going to book for tomorrow night was fully booked so he didn't book anything else 🤦🏼‍♀️ Honestly, pray for this man to survive this weekend!!! Xxx
