Cuppa, let's hope it's good news for you, and your friend, well she chose to have the children so close in age, you work the hand you're delt and deal with it! Ref the downs, for us personally we were and are not bothered, we would test if required to prepare but we wouldn't terminate unless there was severe issues where by the quality of life for ds's and the baby would be non existent.
We are lucky here our trust offers the full works blood tests including screening for HIV hepatitis and downs etc at the 12 week bloods, I'm never usually worried as they should all be clear.
Baby I had ds1 in Wales, Pembrokeshire and was offered the same screens and in England although that was some 9 years ago now, eek!
Radley, so pleased you had good news, sooooo cute of ds.
Ref breast feeding, I fed ds1 until 5 months then mix fed until 9 months, I leaked and leaked about an ounce each side each feed, cups were needed!
Ds2 I leaked but not so much he was more effective at feeding, fed him until 5 months. What upset me the most with ds2 was the amount of people who we're telling me after a week to give up as I was exhausted and stuff, I s a determined I would not, and will feed this one as well for as long as I can do. Each to their own I say, I'd never tell someone how to feed their child as it's personal choice as long as baby is eating sleeping and pooping all is good.
Totally agree with mags, unless you've been our side of the fence you don't know what it's like, and on going thing I've had with sil. Who has gone from only having perfect life etc to two m.c which is horrendous, but is now acting like she's the only one to of had them, not to sound harsh but so have we, we know how it feels to! I've told her we're expecting, but likewise I actually really feel for her, as I've been her side of the fence as well, and was devastated when she told me she was expecting, hysterically crying with mum so am trying to be more forgiving with her and let her talk to me if/when she's ready.
Internet, step away from poas! I know it's hard, I tested every week with cb digital 1-2 2-3 and 3+ Plus daily cheapie to see the line come up before it reached the control line. Obsession is bad! Natural but bad lol.
Sea, don't worry my lovely, I'm same as you 9+4 mines come and gone last few days doctor said today it completely normal at to stage to have waves of everything so all is good.
I've had a horrendous migraine today so much so I took myself back to bed for a few hours and woke up feeling sick again, had them with ds1 so I'm hoping this is all good signs, so crap though not being able to have anything other than paracetamol. :( esp not wanting to say why lol. Anyhow best play nicely with hubs esp after he let me watch pretty woman last night. Have a nice evening everyone.
