I would recommend the doppler too. I got one right around my amnio time & it's been wonderful. I don't over do it of-course but the reassurance of knowing I can check anytime I am anxious, is priceless. I got a rental one as I wanted hospital grade quality, yet didn't want to purchase since it's so ...

Congratulations Hilda & IVFMum!! I am sure you are so........excited. Truly, babies are a miracle of God!! And all of us on this board recognize that... I feel more so sometimes than other people, partly due to the difficult times we have been thru to get these wonderful babies. Hope everyone is ...

Hi Riogirl, I responded to your post on the other msg board with some ideas. Hope it went well.

I have a 11 yr old son, who is so........excited about the new baby. In the past, when we would talk it, he would not be so happy, may be he felt he would have to share his things/attention etc, but lately the idea has grown on him. Now, he is really excited about being the older brother, having ...

Trust me, Riogirl. Even though it feels like forever, it does go by! Everything will be fine. You are a wonderful person....we are all praying for you.

Hi girls, thanks for your support. Final amnio came back also great!! Had my 19 week anatomy scan u/s yesterday & it was the BEST!! My little baby girl was sucking her thumb for a while [cannot believe I am saying that!] She was all over the place, really busy doing something or the other :) It was ...

Hi Riogirl, I just saw your most recent post. I agree with your doctor. Your risks certainly do not seem high at all. With all the continuous monitoring & testing, you will be getting more & more comfortable, I am sure. Good Luck again.

Hi Riogirl, I sent you a couple of PM's. As you know I am 35 & my risks came back as 1 in 46 [due to HIGH HCG]. 1 in 46 certainly is considered high, given my age! So, I decided to do the amnio. My amnio results were fine [touchwood]. It's now been 3 weeks since I did amnio, so far so good. There ...

Hi Angela
Is this your first pregnancy? Sometimes, you may not be able to feel the tiny little movements & distinguish them from hunger pangs or gas. At this stage, movements are not that obvious. I started feeling mine earlier as this is my second pregnancy & I could distinguish them. For your ...

Hi Bonita, so sorry to hear about the sad news. I can only say he did not deserve you!! It's unfortunate, after all that you both have been thru, it had to come to an end!
As for the answers you are looking from us on this forum, I agree with you that you did not anything out of the ordinary. It's ...

Hi girls, one final update on Amnio. My final results came in & everything is good!! Yippee!! While I am happy with Amnio, my HCG is still high & doctors have said it's a high risk pregnancy still. I am posting this as sometimes people don't remember to close the loop on a certain topic. If someone ...

Karen , read your PM & this this post. REALLY.........happy for you!! Having gone thru one these recently, I know what a sigh of relief it is.... It is so exciting to finally tell the world & best of all, to start buying a few things, thinking of names etc :) I am sure you family was ecstatic when ...

Hi Su, I am envious now :) That sounds like the right thing to do though. Sometimes, we need to know when to slow down & make time for ourselves & the baby, esp when so much has gone into our pregnancies! Is your employer agreeing to pay you for the 3 months? That would be great!! And working 3 days ...

Quita, congratulations on your twins! A very nice & inspiring note for all going thru this journey!!

Hi Chris
Congrats on your pregnancy! Every stage is a wait, esp in infertility treatments/pregnancies.... & waiting is not fun. I can tell you that from experience. But I can tell you that worrying does not help at all. I am praying for you. Pls try to relax & distract your mind & enjoy your ...
