There's still some time to decide hun?

I will say this though, the risk for DS does go up if you already have a DS baby. So when they give you a 'risk factor' [before any tests] you'll probably be quite high?? I am sure you already know this though.

Did you have the tests with Aaron (just out of interest) and would you have them with second pregnancy? Please feel free not to answer as I am being pretty nosy actually

I ate so much with James, but I was always so hungry? I am paying the price now.

I am also thinking is it worth getting fully back in shape if I want number 2?? So maybe I'll get back to healthy BMI and see how I feel from there.

OH and I were discussing baby #2 last night actually... I've always been adamant that I'd stay team yellow but realistically we'd probably need to know. If we had another boy then our costs will be significantly lower whereas a girl we'd need to buy almost everything again and it would be easier to spread the cost from 20w to birth than it would be to go out after having baby and buying tons of stuff?

Obviously it is a long way off and to be honest I know that having had 3 miscarriages before James I may struggle again with any future pregnancies. I hate to think that way but I need to be prepared when we do start TTC again.

13 cycles to NTNP!

I had the blood test and it came back low risk.

I imagine we will be high risk next time an I imagine we would get the cvs/amino tbh. Not because of having options but to prepare ourselves.

The thing I'm upset most about is I need got a balloon. I know that sounds pathetic. But I always had this image of folk coming into our room with a balloon that says "it's a boy". We never celebrated. I never had the congratulations I'm proud of you talk with hubby, the mw never took a picture of the three of us. We missed out on so much, it makes me sad

As long as you are aware of how things will go down with number 2 then that should make it a little easier. I know it will still be so scary though.

I can only imagine how cheated you feel after having such a bombshell dropped on you but as you well know the labour / birth is just a very small moment in the whole world of being a Mummy. I know it's not much consolation but most women don't have the experience they wanted - albeit most women don't have to cope with what you did.

I hope you your happy labour next time though!

Oh Tweety... I can understand why your on the fence about the test. It's a really hard situation and I'm sorry your OH hasn't came to terms with the DS.

It's so sad that you missed out on that happy period after having Aaron.
It must have been very tough for you an something that plays on your mind

[tweetyfoo]

In all honesty, I feel guilty for not celebrating him.

When my inlaws turned up, I cried as soon as they walked through the door. There was no "Congratulations!"

I'm sure it will heal with time, but 8 months on, it still feels raw

Big hugs tweety xxx

[KarenC]

Tweety, sweetie! Big hugs for you - it must be so hard I can't offer any advice, I'm afraid - just support. I am sure you will work it out in the end

And yes, I'm still lurking here... even though I think I might be ovulating and have had two danger pokes this morning and yesterday. Eep.

Sorry to butt in uninvited but if it makes u feel better I never celebrated Harrison's birth either as I was so ill, I feel guilty every day about it but you know what? He doesn't know and it doesn't matter to him in the long run! You celebrate him now and that's all that matters!

I think even if u have an ideal birth it is so overwhelming! I don't expect it with the twins, I look forward to getting to know them as they grow up!

Still, not had AF visit - 2 months since my last one.

Hi guys, Im new here, but kinda lost, could anyone explain what all this means: AF, FX, OH and so on.....

 

[TORino]

Liu

My child is so clever she is able to post this in here by herself.

Maybe she's telling me we should get to it because she wants a brother and we should call him liu

 

[CARNAT22]

Hi Katya,

All the abbreviations are here

It takes a while to get used to them though!!

Aww tweets I hope u have more of a labour you want next time round. I was pretty open to labour, I didn't expect to do this or that as a lot do get dissapointed for diff reasons, my labour was a good labour but I still felt awful because I can't remember it all? OH had to piece by piece and I felt - I should remember every detail. Obv that was due to G&A. I always say next time round ill try without, but doubt that would happen.

I just feel I missed out on a lot ?

I know that there are consultants at the southern that deal with genetic testing. I imagine you would go to your GP, and get referred onto the appropriate consultant. Good luck xxxxx

Cycle length 71 days. Lets hope the next one is a little more reasonable.
