anyone due June 2004?

[hana]

I thought for sure someone else would have posted this before me! I am 5 weeks along (sounds so insignificant.....) and am seeing my doctor tomorrow to get things going. Am really excited and am hoping that things go well! According to those pregnancy charts, my edd is June 12.
So come on mumsnetters, who else is joining me here?!

I've just about stopped being sick and so grateful for that.my edd is now 24th june but still haven't had a scan so can't be sure.I'm booked in for scan on 29th Dec, there is a backlog here.I'm sure I can feel tha little popping feeling you get when the baby is moving but surely it is too early for that.Hope everyone is feeling ok.xx

Now think violent sickness at w/end was bug as youngest son 14mnths now being sick. Urgh.

Current worries
(worry wort here)

Am now worried my abating m sickeness not a good sign? Though do still feel quite sick at night and after eating bacon sarnies and diet coke (not a good combo, but what I fancy)

Will baby be okay after weekend of throwing up?

I guess we always find something to worry about.

I had very bad tummy bug in 2nd pregnancy; I went 18 hours without a wee I couldn't even keep water down (this was about 6 weeks). Baby is now 2 yo, and seems pretty bright. Also had tuna every day for a while, loads of mercury in that, she's not autistic, either, thankfully....

Tea keeps my sickness down. Decaf no good, must be the 'hard' stuff. Chocolate is one of my main foods, too. My caffeine intake must be wildly over the recommended limits. But I'm clinging to the hope that it's what you do in 2nd half of pregnancy that really affects fetal development. Every time I try to understand these things, seems like you can do the most awful things in first half of pregnancy, including binge-drinking, smoking, lots of hard drugs -- and it won't have detectable effect on the baby if you stop by 20 weeks.

I have had some progress seen the consultant yesterday, who agreed with me that I should stay in the UK as he said chances are high that I will have problems!!. he want s to see me in 6 weeks but I will make the appointment for 4 if opossible so I cna see him before I move.

I have a scan on the 6th Jan, not sure on dates now as period in sept was not like normal, but first midwife seemed to think original dates were correct but seen another one yesterday and when she felt tummy (after we had the discussion that I am either 12 or 16 weeks) she said "hmmm it could be further than 12" but we still couldn't hear a heart beat. I know this is not unusual but it makes you wonder!!!. Hoping to here it when I see her again next wednesday, am going to ask them then what they think my fundal height is, just to give me a better idea!!!. May be it is the excess fat getting in the way of both hearing the heart beat and feeling for the correct fundal height?? I am feeling alot happier about everything now as atleast I know now that I am going to be in the UK and I will be receiving the correct care just have to keep fingers crossed. Hope you are all oK
Take Care

Hi, Is anyone else still realy tired all the time. All I want to do is sleep.

Does anyone know when the pg glow starts as I can't remember. With DD I remember my hair was realy soft and shiny and skin realy smooth, this time so far my skin is really dry and blotchy, and my hair well, that is realy dry also and coming out in clumps everytime i wash it, brush it or stroke my fingers through it. If it carries on like this I will have none left by the time baby arrives. Maybe I will have a boy this time. Is anyone going to find out what they are having? I don't think I will I didn't with DD. I think it added to the excitment. As this is DH first I donlt thinmk he wants to find out either and I couldn't keep a secret from him. Roll on June (poss may)

I crawl into bed before 6pm and try not to get out again before 8am. Is that tired enough for you? Although I was dry-heaving into toilet at 4:30am today, thankfully not a daily occurence.

My scan this morning went fine. Low risk on the nuchal translucency, I've decided against amnio (I think...!). They agree exactly on my dates, which is very funny given how I worked my dates out (based on pretending that LMP was 3 weeks before the first day I turned foul-tempered and aggressive). The little blighter never stopped wiggling and rolling during the whole scan; I think he has his daddy's profile, too.

Hope all goes well secur thinking of you. Will they give you a cervical stitch?

Glad I am not the only one who is realy tired.

I have been on the phone today enquiring re private 12 week scan the nearest place to me that does them can fit me in on Tuesday but it will cost £184, I think this is v high but I think worth it, just need to convince DH that it will be worth every penny,:0 I just want to see my little one to reassure that everything is OK etc.

Hi Cavy,
Hope you don't mind me asking, but what was your nuchal scan result. I recently had one, I am 37, and can not make up my mind if I should or should not go for the amnio at 15 weeks.My age related risk was 1:54, and following the scan it was reduced to 1:439, with no concerns regarding the baby, and what the consultant described as a normal pregnancy. My only concern is that I had a downs diagnosis last year, but can,t stop thinking that I run the risk of miscarrying a normal baby if I opt for the amnio. Would appreciate any comments that any one else can offer too. Thanks

DH has agreed to pay for the scan I knew he would so we have it on Tuesday at 2.30 pm.

Hi Juelgaz -- These decisions are so difficult, aren't they??? I'm 36. They said my baseline risk was 1:191, with the "good" nuchal fold result (2.1mm) bringing that down to 1:505. Are you sure they said 1:54? I ask because I found this link which says you have 3x the risk of Downs' this time, given you had a Downs' fetus previously. So I would have thought at 37 your risk would be around 1:162 if mine is 1:191 at age 36... divide 1:162 by 3 makes 1:54, which might reduce to 1:439 depending how thick the nuchal fold was...?

My hospital said anything below 1:200 was a "good" result. Said their amnio or CVS miscarriage rate was 1%. I discussed amnio at length with them, anyway. They asked why I was so interested and I said "Because the risk of Downs is so unacceptable to me", which shut them up....I mean, how do you put a statistic on how badly you think you would cope with a disabled child for life?

I believe the Fetal Medicine Centre in London are quoting a miscarriage risk of 1:300 if you get the amnio there. No idea about cost, but I was guessing the £300 mark. What price do you put on piece of mind, though?

I think I worked out once that the risk of any particular child dying or having a crippling accident before 18yo was about 1:400. On that basis, I was thinking today that I wouldn't terminate this baby even if I knew they would have an accident by age 18 that turned them into a vegetable, and that was more likely than severe chromosone defect... so...

TBH, the fetus today looked too active to have anything severely wrong with it. May not be rational, but sometimes you have to go with intuition.

Found this which is also interesting.

Hooray, Karen01!

ps: I am going for the detailed 20 week scan, although I know these are more likely to turn up imaginary problems than real ones. Hopefully it will turn up nothing but I don't want to do without it.

Hi Cavy,
Thanks for the reply. Was definately 1:54, and reduced to 1:439, have got the printout that the computer gave. The nuchal fold measurement was only 0.8mm, which seems to be good. Thanks for all the links that you gave me, they make interesting reading.
Hope you are well.

Good news Secur - that must have been frightening.

I'm a bit quiet as I have a nuchal scan next week so not tempting fate before then. Have had 2 scans so far due to m/cs in past and have been okay. So fingers crossed.

So pleased sickness has eased - just at night it comes back now. I was beginning to despair. How is everyone else??

Good news secur, I will have more info this afternoon after my scan. i am v excited about it but also aprhensive, after this afternoon everything will seem more real.

hope everyoone else is doing ok.

Secur: I thought you had several other children -- haven't you had the 20 week "abnormality" scan? They look for anything that might be a problem, soft marker for chromosone abnormalities, echogenic focus, brain cysts, spinal bifuda, hydrocephalus, other defects.... mostly an exercise in scaring poor parents witless for a few weeks or months after which they decide nothing is wrong, after all. (Sorry, but cynicism is the only way I can cope with it...)

Ok, Skara, Scampadoodle, Caithncait, Wuzzybee, Baukjen, Welshmum and Leander; where are you?!!
