My update, had my genetic counsiling and quad test results reading yesterday. All seemed to be fine- the ratios seemed high enough for us to feel comfortable that everything is going ok. The downs ratio was 1/444 and the others were 1/1000+++. We decided against going with the amnio, as those results aren't 100% anyway, and the ratio was 1/200 for miscarriage.... And that scared us. So, I suppose my big tests are done. I totally forgot to talk about my itching, because I was so stressed about the genetic counsling, and the possible amnio. Oh well, next time... How is everyone?

Hi Kristen72! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am in my 15th week now. 2 nights ago I was turning onto my side in my sleep and I felt my little one give me a soft little poke just as I got comfortable. I can't wait till the movements become more frequent and a bit stronger. I was having terrible back pain for the past two weeks. Suddenly I woke up the other morning with my belly looking more pronounced and my back pain was completely gone.

fncdavis- Congratulations, wow twins! How long ttc? Kristen- hope you are feeling well. Dogmom- congrats on getting into the 2nd Trimester where we're SUPPOSED to feel better (lol, not me). It's is just the best thing when you can feel your lil one squirming about! Colleen

Chidholm, I just started feeling better this week. Last week I had to miss a day of work because my back was soooo bad and I could barely walk and now this week I am jogging again!!!! Hopefully I can keep this energy for a while. I have a lot of work to do on our home to get it ready for a baby.

Sorry I haven't shared the news sooner but we found out during out first Level 2 ultrasound that we're having a boy! I was only 18 week so they had me come back this week for a follow-up to check out his heart. Everything looked good. The doctor said they saw nothing to cause them any concerns!

Wow..I almost forgot about this thread ;) until I saw t_t at the top today. How is everyone? I have my ultrasound tomorrow. I am 7 weeks 4 days today. I am just praying everything is ok so far. Feeling pretty good so far..can't really conplain except the more frequent urination thing. I feel a little queesy at times but other than that//all good. Wish me luck tomorrow..I will be saying my prayers tonight! xo

Hi Kristen72, Best of luck to you. Sounds like everything so far in your pregnancy is going great. Keep us posted.

Hi everyone, I just need to take a moment to vent my fustrations. I have a very stressfull job as an accounting manager in a company that is just barley staying afloat. And on top of it my mother is stressing me out with her problems. Today I am having another stressfull work day and at one point I was shaking and felt like my heart was beating out of my chest. I called my doctor because I wanted to make sure my baby was okay. The doctors office told me to come right in and when I got there my doctor knew just what to do. He asked me what was causing the stress and then said "we need to make you smile"....so he brought me into another room and did a sonogram. The baby was just fine and I could not belive how big it got in just the past few weeks (i am currently 18 weeks). At one point the baby turned its face directly to the camera and stayed there for a good minute. I could not belive I was laying there looking directly at my baby's face! I returned back to work with a whole new outlook. Nothing else matters except bringing this baby into the world perfectly healthy. If work piles up then oh well.....I will not be returning back here after the baby is born anyway.

kimcat- congrats on your little boy and the great scan. Kristen- good luck at your ultrasound, please check back and let us know how it goes.

Thank you ladies!! Dogmom..you just made my day too! I am very happy for you that you were able to see your lo staring right at you earlier today..you are so right... Truly nothing is as important as the health and welfare of your little growing baby. At the end of the day the stresses of your job will be so meaningless to the impact of your lo on your life..A baby is such a wonderful gift. All the best to you.

kimcat - Congrats dogmom - I am so happy you got to see your son now stop stressing. Krissy68
