You did the down syndrom test and they give you a high percentage? Yeah, it would be a tough thing to do, make a decision....I go for mine on the 30th, pretty nervous but I hope everything will be fine.
In your case, since you have twins, you shouldn't worry because you are right, it is only the % and the chances that twins will both have problems are very slim, to my opinion...I wouldn't worry about a thing right now!!!
But I thought they do down syndrom between 11.5 weeks and 13...I will go for mine at 13w2d...nervous...

Hi!  I'm sorry I've been out of touch!  It's been so busy!  I've been helping my brother out at our family business and trying to finish Christmas shopping!

Maria, hello!  I'm doing well.  Everyday is better and better, thank God!.  It got ugly for a minute but things are looking up. :)  I'm looking forward to my 12/31 u/s! Yes, my husband came in last night.  I invited my fmily over and got him a cake since he left for FL on his birthday. He was happy and I was just happy he was home!  I missed him!  Im glad that he got to spend some time with his parents.  His dad has been going through some rough times.  Hopefully, things get better.  He is a fighter.
How have you been feeling?  Can you believe we're 11 wks and 1 day!?!  LOL!

Eternidad, I hope you are having a wonderful time!!  Have some cocoa for me!  :)

Anya, you'll have to let me know how your doppler works!  Sounds interesting!

dream_girl, I'm sure your little ones are great!  Think positive.

aweeonetolove, I hope you are well!

Well ladies, I gotta take my little Max (my little shnauzer baby!) out. I hope you are all doing great and hope you have a great day!

Hello everbody!
      As dream girl said we are all nearing the end of first trimester. Every one should update how far they are so that we can record it.

Anya- how is the Doppler working? Did you hear baby's heart beat? Do you think that we can buy it too. I haven't heard my baby's heart beat, just saw it.

Dreamgirl- I am 11 weeks today. Good luck to you!

Zuz- how are you doing? I haven't heard from you. Is your hubby back? We are 11 weeks today.

Eternidad- have a lovely relaxing vacation.

Big hello to everyone,

We are getting the end of the frist trimester, this is exciting. I am counting down the days. I will be 11 weeks by tomorrow.  
I have not seen any bump on my belly, it just looks pretty full like a pot. I gained 8 pounds, and started exercise again. Also will start my prenatal yoga class by early Jan.

aweeonetolove, my dor. also mentioned about IPS screening which I posted last week as I remembered. I know we need to know the earlier the better that if the baby has problem, but do you know this IPS is not 100% accurate, and it only can predict a perscentage of how much chance the baby will become down syndrom. So if they tell you the persentage is high, what you are going to do? Get rid of the baby or keep it? To keep it, you will be stressed and worried for the rest of the pregnancy. To get rid of it, what if they test is wrong. The reason I am mentioning this it is becuase I had the same situation, and after consulted many people, my husband and I decided that we will not do it. Specially, I am with twins. However, this is totally up to you, we may see things differently. No mater what, just follow your heart.  This is just my personal opinion. Sorry if this bugs you.

All the best to all you girls.

To all my girls I will be out of computer, and internet access until next week Monday, Hubby wants to go skiing for few days, I will be joining him and while he skies I will be reading and doing a whole lot of nothing but keepping my feet up and reading by the fireplace.
If I get a chance I will try to pop in here to check in once in a while.

LOL to everyone and let's make time go faster so we can move into the second trimester.

Anya- don't worry your will be feeling your little bump pretty soon, maybe I am just overly in tune with my body and feel every ache, pain, bump or anything and everything. I am sure your doppler is going to work out fine and your are going to be listen to your little one a lots, yipeeeee...

Maria- Well, now that makes sense and UTI can always give you a little bit of cramping. I think taht taking certain antibiotics during pregnancy is fine. Great to hear about no more PIO's, yohoooo, how nice no more poking your back side.

Aweeonetolove- You must be feeling great to see your little one on the screen, the measurements are great, think about how big he/she will by next u/s.

Zuz, dreamgirl, Sherri- hope everything keeps running along well with you guys.

LOL girls and let's keep working on getting out of this first trimester.

Hello everyone,
   I hope all are doing fine. The nurse from my OB office called me with the results of the urine test. She said I have Urinary tract infection. I am on antibiotics. I did not want to take any medications during my pregnancy. I called my RE's office to give them a update and asked about the antibiotic I will be taking, they said its fine and not worry.  Also they told me to stop the progesterone shots after this vial gets over. So no more pricks after few days. :)

Anya- I will be 11 weeks tomorrow. I have my OB appointment on 30th. I will ask for the down syndrome test then. Do you remember the name of the test?  Do let me know what kind of test is that. Also let me know how your Doppler is working. My next u/s is also very far..on Jan 13th...

Eternidad- I think the pain around my pubic bone was because of UTI and the lower abdomen pain is because of  uterus stretching. I feel the slight bump too. Other than that I think the remaining tummy is because of bloating.

Aweeonetolove- Nice to know that you could see your little one. That is the most joyful moment. Good luck!

I hope all the other moms to be are doing fine and busy Christmas shopping.

Hi ladies,
I'm so sorry to keep everything short but my internet is barely working!  I'm glad to hear that you are all doing well, that you are all feeling your uterus' stretching and your baby's growing.  Also, that you are finally getting near those appointments and/or dopplers that you have been wishing for.  Very exciting times, especially because we are all nearing the end of our first trimester. I will be so glad to be out of this trimester.
Well, I had my u/s yesterday and it went well.  My little one measured 2.5cm at 9w3d.  They didn't tell me how fast the heart was beating but you could definitely see it pumping away.  My dh came and we saw my little guy just lying about, doing nothing.  Maybe it was sleeping.  But we could make out the legs and arms ~ which are getting quite long.  My next u/s is Jan. 8th for IPS screening. I opted to do the screening because I want to know if something is wrong with my little one and more so, because I wanted that extra u/s.  Otherwise they would make me wait until I'm 20 weeks for an u/s.  Well, I can tell my internet signal is dwindling.  Have a great day ladies!  All the best!

Hey!
So you already got a bump? I wonder how come I barely feel anything there being 11 weeks?
Ohh....I guess I just want to feel something already :)
I will try to listen to the heart tonight when come back from work, cuz my hubby told me that the doppler arrived!!! I hope it worth it :)
I heard different stories, some say that they couldn't detect a heart, some say it worked fine!
I think unless u request an u/s with your OB, they might not do it...so you probly want to check that out !
OK, Im going to have some lunch now.
Take care!

Anya- I am 10 weeks this week, so happy getting closer to end my first trimester, can't wait until my OB appoit, hopefully they order an u/s or do one on the office, don't know yet. Yes I feel the little bump in my belly, my husband  every week check my belly he says is growing fine and we both can feel the hard part just down below in my abdomen half way through between naval and pubic bone, feel kind of rounded and hard to touch.

Dreamgirl- glad to hear you are feeling better, once you get your u/s you will see your two little one wiggling around.

Maria- I also get some lower abdominal pain once in a while, recently more often I guess is the uterus stretching.

Eternidad- yeah, thanks, I can't wait to hear good news from all the blood work and u/s..I know they only give you % of the possibility for down syndrom, but its better then nothing, right? So bloodwork this friday, and u/s in 2 weeks or so...I am a paranoic but hope everything is well!!
My belly got bigger, I think its gaining fat for the baby... also, as I read for week 10-11, the uterus is streaching and is so full, you might notice a tiny bump right about your pubic bone....I noticed a tiny bump and I can hardly feel it but its there, so I hope everything is good!!!!!
My nausia is almost gone, only episodes...
When is your next u/s? How many weeks are you now? 9-10?

Maria-  When you go in to see your OB on the 30th, request to get a bloodwork and u/s done for down syndrome!! They will do that! I requested it...how many weeks are you going to be on the 30th? I think my OB said that after a syndrome u/s, I will get my next u/s at 20 weeks!!!! ;(( SOOOOO LONG! That's like mid of February!
That's why I ordered a doppler...before my stomach gets any bigger, I want to be reassured!!!!

Dream-girl - yeah, I will let you know how my doppler works and maybe you can order one as well, I think I will be able to sleep at night better!!!!!

Take care!!
can everyone state how many weeks are they and when is the next u/s?
Thanks! Just want to be on track!

Hello ladies,

How are you all doing today? I finally get my second u/s scheduled and it is on 12/24. I can harldy wait. My nausea is better with the medication, and still happens in the morning. My belly is not showing much, specially in the morning, it went smaller. Sometimes I am just wondering where my little ones are? I totally understand how Anya feel,  it seems to have a doppler is good idea. We just want to reassuring the baby is still there. I hope when we all moved to the second trimester, this fear will go away, as our belly should be growing like crazy by then.
Take a good care for yourself, God bless you.

Eternidad- I get the pain in my lower abdomen once in a while. Also, this pain on my pelvic bone occurs when I lie down and wake up. I feel the pain is right on the bone. My  OB said it might be the uterus stretching.

Anya- I have my OB appointment on 30th and then he might prescribe a test for down syndrome. I will keep you all posted. I cant to get an u/s soon. My next u/s is scheduled for Jan 13th.  That is tooo far. I feel my baby is doing alright. Take care. Let me know how your doppler works..

aweeonetolove- good luck on your u/s I am pretty sure everyting is going to be well and you are going to get to see your little one growing and wiggling around.

Maria- is your pelvic pain all the time or does it come and goes, how does it feels like. I have been having some mild lower abdominal discomfort ask aroudn and they said is r/t to your uterus stretching and baby growing, so I guess is good to feel that way, maybe?

Anya- wow you having a big agenda pretty soon, u/s and blood work al together how exciting, is nice when things are moving along well.

Me- Schedule one of my OB appoit for Wednesday at 0930, my second one with a different OB is next week, after these I will choose wihic doc to stay with to care for my pregnancy. I feel so happy and joyful everything is going well with all of us.

aweeonetolove - We are keeping fingers crossed, let us know how it goes, are you going to have an u/s? Mine is only in another  2 weeks, can't wait!!

Maria - no, doppler should arrive tomorrow, I can't wait to hear my baby's heart since I have been pretty paranoid..I read that at 11 weeks, you can feel your uterus in mid pelvic bone...well, I am feeling something that is barely there, like a little tiny bump, I hope this is what it is and it will grow more very soon so that I don't have to be worried about my baby....cuz except sore bbs, I don't have any other symptoms and I just want to make sure everything is ok...
my u/s is on the 30th, and I also will have bloodwork done this Friday for down syndrom..I will only know results on the 30th...
I wish I could show more to be reassured..and I also developed dull constant pain in my lower back, I hope it is all normal!!!!

Keep me posted girls!

Hello Girls!!

Anya- How are you doing? Did your doppler arrive? Its always better to what you want to instead of worrying.

Zuz- Nice to hear that you are feeling good. Did they test your progesterone after they made you stop. Looks like I will taking till 12 weeks. I will give a call to my RE's office today and ask them too.

Anya- I understand the paranoid feeling, is hard to feel reassure but I truly believe everything is well with all of us. Is hard to get symptoms bc you feel sick but is harder not to have them bc you feel something is wrong.
My symtoms are getting better and don't feel so nauseated anymore, belly is a little bit fuller and I am anxiously waiting for my first OB appoit.
Having the doppler is a good idea, just don't fret too much about it.

Hello ladies...I am glad that everybody is doing good :)
I had an emotional episode break down yesterday night and was in tears...Im not sure if thats hormons or me just being tired of worrying...constantly...Since I don't have many symptoms AND my next u/s in 3 weeks AND my belly is barely there, I get paranoid...and I don't feel anything, u know? So I bought a doppler for $100, and anxiously waiting for it to be delivered in 4 days.....I want to be reassured when listening to my baby's heart!I hope I can survive this weekend, for some reason I am extremely worried .....maybe it is also my hormons?

HI All!  I'm here!  I wanted to let you guys know that I'm ok.  I actually felt good all day yesterday, which is a blessing!!!! My husband left for FL yesterday to visit his parents (I wanted to wait till 2nd trimester to go visit.  Paranoid!) so I had dinner with a friend of mine....and it actually stayed down!  I just wanted to say thank you guys for asking about me and caring.  I wish I could give you all a giant hug!!!  All I can do is give you cyber (((hugs))) instead!!!

dream_girl: so glad you're feeling better!!!

eternidad: i'm better (for now).  I'm going to the mall to get some shopping done.  I'm sorry you're feeling sick but the good thing is that it passes!  Try to keep busy.  Eat frequently (i know its easier said than done!).  Hope you are feeling better today!

Maria:  Ugh! I wish they could have prescribed you another form of progesterone.  I never had to do the shots.  I'm sorry you do.  It's almost over!!  And I'm so sorry about your cyst!  I did read that they go away on their own to.  So hang in there!!  All of our suffering is ok and welcomed as long as our little angels are ok, right?  :)

aweeonetolove: Hi!  I'm glad you are feeling well!  Thank you for the well wishes!  I hope you continue to feel confident and perfect about baby because I know that God is with us!  :)

Anya:  Hello!  How have you been feeling?  OK?  Don't think about symptoms so much!  My sister has 3 kids and felt differently with each baby.  No two pregnancies are ever alike so don't pay to much attention to symptoms.  Some people may have all and some may have none and all that matters is that you have a healthy preganacy going on, which you do!  :)

Bebelove:  I'm so sorry that you're going through this.  I wish things could have worked out differently for you.  God has our lives planned out for us and we just have to be patient and have faith that things will work out in His time, not ours, no matter how bad we want something.  I really feel for you and I hope that you are able to move forward and make new plans and take chareg of the situation.  I know in my heart that your prayers will be heard and answered!

ANyway, hope you're all having a happy Saturday!  I'm going shopping!  Oh!!  I got a new job!!!!  :)

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I was not able to drop in and I was busy at work since we have many people layoff recently.
I am doing well, my symptom is fading too. My nauseas is getting better, and I even feel my engery is getting back too. But I still get tired at night very early around 8pm. So don't worry aweeonetolove, I am sure everything is good. Not to have the symtom is a bless, as you can eat well and feel good.
Me and my husband decided that we are not going to do the screening since it is not 100% sure. I will schedule my second U/S before Christmas, can't wait to see how my little ones doing. You ladies all had many times u/s, and I only did once which make me little worried, really not sure what is going on in my belly. Are they still both there?

Maria,  I had some blood work for prenatal, they only did 5 vials, why they did 18 to you? Maybe it is good to have so many, they can really check things up.

ZUZ/Anya/ eternidad200, so happy to see you all doing well. keep up good work.

babelove, I am so sorry you got negative. I know it hurts so much. We all went through very hard IVF and finally get pregnant, so don't give up if you really want to have a baby.
God will be with you and I do believe miracle.

Maria and Anya- girls sorry to hear about your cysts, hopefully they won't trouble you guys much.

Zuz- how is your stomach feeling nowdays still pretty sick, is hard to think of anything good to eat when you are feeling that way. Yesterday i got out of work and felt awful, everything made me nauseated. Today doing better.

Dreamgril- haven't heard from you in a while hope everything is well.

aweeonetolove- so happy for your results, glad to hear your doc says everything is looking great for you. I know is kind of hard to be confident at all times, we worry about every little thing and I think is o.k to worry about it, it makes us stronger.
I am still taking progesterone suppositories they are so awful and hopefully I will be oput of by the 24th
