Pregnancy After Miscarriage - Knicker Checkers Anonymous Part III

[lackaDAISYcal]

Hi everyone.....roll up here for your passport to check your knickers on an hourly basis

Oh have just seen feedmenow's news. Is so sad, it breaks my heart for her and her family. I wish I could help somehow.

What awful news from Feedmenow. Makes me upset just thinking about it Can't begin to imagine how she and her family must be feeling.
Kate what an anxious time for you. I was really hoping that things would get easier for you after your worries at the beginning of this pg. Fingers crossed for you at this worrying time and hope you get some answers soon. (((hugs))) to you.

Kate, I just wanted to say that I had abnormally low hormone levels for my blood test too (mine was at 19 wks though). My consultant said this meant the Down's risk was ridiculously low for my age (1:8000), as was the risk for spina bifida, but a high risk for Edward's syndrome.

I had a detailed ultrasound and amniocentesis, and everything is absolutely fine. It's horrible when you get results like this, but please try not to panic. Wishing you the very best of luck x

Awful news from feedmenow how shocking and heartbreaking

some more bad news unfortunately .
I saw this earlier from JulezBoo
Maybe someone here has some advice for her.

It never rains.....

what a crappy day

Life can just be so cruel. Poor Feedmenow... i really just can't imagine.

Kate thinking of you. I hope everything turns out well.

My dating scan tomorrow and I am starting to feel really petrified. If all is well I was going to start telling people. But it all just seems so much in the balance somehow, even after a +ive scan.

Hope the rest of you are ok?

good luck vibes for tomorrow rainrain. what time are you in?

I haven't been on here for weeks but just managed too today and am devastated for feedmenow, it's just too unfair.
Hope the rest are managing to keep well?Goingfor3, what name have you chosen or is it a secret?! I am 32 weeks and trying to think of a third girl's name too, although only my instinct tells me it's a girl but I am pretty sure.
Take care ladies.

I'm hungry

i have my 20 week scan a week on friday and its dragging so much!!

Last proper scan was at 9 weeks and it feels like a lifetime away!

I've had 3 scans since but they were due to a haematoma so they didnt show me baby properly

I want to know the flavour too!!

[sigh]

moan over

Hi Janus, girl number three was going to be called Matilda. I chose it before my 20 week scan and really settled on it when I was tld it was a girl. Yesterday I had another scan and the baby appears to have litterally grown some balls!!! At a scan three weeks ago the sonographer did seem doubtful it was a girl but baby put it's hand in the way. Yesterday was comical as even I could spot the testicles as they were large. I will be taking clothes back today, may go for neutral just in case though and I have to have a name rethink! Only 8 weeks left for you and 10 for me, I'm so pleased we have got this far!

Forgot to add good luck ILTS, hope you get a great view of baby!

Rainrain Good luck for your scan today. What time are you going?
I finally managed to book a private scan and they could fit me in today as well so I'm going at 4.30pm today. Like you I'm also really scared. Can't help thinking back to last time when there was nothing there
We must stay positive!
ILTS Good luck for your scan tomorrow too. I can't believe you're 20 weeks already
Hope everybody else is OK.

oh i wish it was tomorrow

next friday though

Daisy and cricri - scan at 2.15...thanks for all good luck vibes. fingers crossed - and all the best cricri for your scan later too.... remind me how far along are you?

ILTS That will teach me to skim-read! OK, good luck for a week Friday. I should have known tomorrow is Good Friday - blame the pg brain!
Rainrain According to LMP I'm 7+5 today, but I think I ov'd around CD 21/22 so that would make me 6+5. Hopefully the scan will also give me an idea of exact dates too. How far along are you? I'm really hoping I see a heartbeat - doesn't the risk of mc decrease considerably once a heartbeat has been seen?

it will go quick enough the last 19 weeks have

Cri 13 weeks today. Had a scan at 7.5 too and all was well (well they spotted a heartbeat anyway). And i am getting a bit of a belly. Know that is no guarantee tho' - and could just be all the crisps! Just want today to be over so I can relax a bit (but do you ever ladies?!?)

I think it is so nice you ladies are able to find out the sex, we can't here without private... I would love to know (but perhaps not bothered enough to shell out the extra cash...as long as it is healthy )

Is anybody out there?

rainrain how did the scan go? I think you and I have exactly the same dates?

Totally devstated to hear feedmenow's news. Just can't imagine what she and her family must be going through

I heard from my lovely consultant yesterday afternoon. The second set of bloods were the same as the first, which is what DH and I expected. He wants to scan me tomorrow and in the mean time he's talking to colleagues to see if any of them have ever seen levels like mine... I feel like a freak! He's also going to speak to the fetal medicine foundation which I find reassuring. So will keep you all posted. Am praying I just have a miracle bean in there who is absolutely fine, but I'm scared. Whinegums thak you for your post, I'd thought about Edward's Syndrome as well, I've managed to resist googling it so far, but don't know how much longer I can hold out, especially after reading your post...

Take care ladies xx

Am mad. Thought it was Friday and no-one had posted for over 24 hours.... sorry! It's cos I have a day off work today

kate, thinking of you and hoping all is well with your scan tomorrow. Please don't google anything until you know you have something to google; it will just scare the bejesus out of you.

Hi Kate, good luck for tomorrow... mine is later today - yes exactly the same dates as you so was wondering how your 12 week scan went.

All the best - hope tomorrow's news is good.... Just think, back in the days before scans and bloods and all the rest many people might have had different hormone levels, just noone would know. And perhaps they had healthy babies and were none the wiser about strange levels. I sometimes think we all know too much.

Good luck, am keeping everything crossed for you x
