AW - The shoe WILL NOT drop anytime soon - If it's up to me.

mwhite5283

I don't consider myself negative but I'm in operations and a planner by nature. I'm always working on Plan A but know to have Plans B through Z ready.  With our 3 MCs, I have been a little apprehensive about this pregnancy. Always happy about each step but never elated. I always felt like if I let myself get excited I would jinx something.  I felt better with each ultrasound and then with officially entering the 2nd Tri. But today I got my blood tests back from the NT combination screen and it looks great.  I think I deserve a little celebration.  Maybe a new pair of shoes

For my age:
Typical odds of Downs 1 in 131
My bloodwork/US resuts 1 in 2,161

Typical odds of Trisome 13/18 is 1 in 231
My bloodwork/US results were 1 in 4,601

One more milestone out of the way.  An AW for me. Elation is exactly what I feel

That's wonderful!?

And I don't believe in jinxes. I think you should enjoy this and every moment from here on out! ?

Enjoy this time!! I miss being pg SO much. *Try* not to worry to much! Now that you're in the second tri things should be a-ok!

I remember feeling so relieved when I made it into my second trimester!  You should go out and celebrate!

I think it's perfectly normal to stress and analyze and celebrate as you hit all the other big milestones, too!  I went kind of crazy with the pregnancy books in preparation for my big ultrasound, just in case, but then I went and bought a bunch of baby stuff afterwards.

Likewise, I've been reading about all the stuff that *might* go wrong during labor and delivery.  I just want to be mentally/emotionally prepared for everything.

Yay!  I'm so glad for you.  Beware buying shoes though...your size might change.

My dear dear girl....I so know exactly how you feel, and I haven't been through even close to what you've been through, historically....

Those are GREAT numbers....and Michele, you're going to be a mama!!!  I know (because I'm the QUEEN of worry warts) how easy it is to worry....but I am SOO glad you're celebrating a bit along the way too!!!

Yeaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

Yaaaaaay!!!  Those are great numbers!!!  I think you definitely need a new pair of shoes!!  And do it now cause when baby comes you rarely buy stuff for yourself!!

Yeah! Congratulations, that is GREAT news and GREAT numbers.

I bet that is a sense of relief you have been waiting on for 14 weeks!!!!!

I know what you mean....I wasn't too excited until we got past the point of our miscarriage. There was always the worry that it would happen again, and I remembered how devastating it was.

Once we got past that point, I was over the moon. So yes, I do believe that deserves a new pair of shoes.
