  • I've been uncomfortably sore all day after I was poked and prodded (not at all gently) yesterday to try and get my stubborn fetus to move into a better viewing position. Hope y'all don't have to experience the same.
  • @kiwi2628 glad your fetal echo was good! How long did yours take? I have one in two weeks and they are having trouble scheduling me because the nurse said it takes so long and they apparently only do it once a week.

    @sliztee same here! I just want to curl up in bed. I dont remember this with ds's AS.
  • My first AS two weeks ago didn't leave me in pain. I guess they were trying too hard to get the baby to move into a good position...which didn't work anyway. @nmadjeski

  • @missmaehurt AHH so exciting!! Do you know if you’ve got boys, girls or one of each? I can’t remember if you’re team green or not

    The short version: girl

    long version: She wasn’t being a show off so honestly I don’t know if my baby is a girl. They couldn’t see boy parts so went with girl. I do have a pic that looks like girl parts. But could the boy parts be flipped up? I had an elective ultrasound at 17 weeks and was told boy (definitely looked like a boy). I do have to go back for the measurements because baby was sleepy. Any tips to make sure baby is active?


  • I have heard drink fruit juice or eat something sugary. For sure eat something as that normally gets them moving.
  • @missmaehurt exciting news!!! I can’t believe they didn’t notice the other one until now!

    AS update: I had my AS on Friday and I have my OB appointment this coming Friday.  However my OB called me last night to discuss the results of my AS.  Overall she said everything looks great but we have to come back as they couldn't get all the pictures of the heart (this we already knew) which she said is common.  Plan was to originally go back in 4 weeks but they also found an echogenic focus on the heart so my OB was us to go back within the week.  She explained this is a soft marker for Downs syndrome and trisomy 13.  I had the genetic screening done in the first trimester and everything was a low risk so my OB was very positive and reassuring but its still so hard not to worry. I worked with individuals with developmental disabilities before becoming a nurse so I am not as worried about having a baby with downs syndrome as I am about Trisomy 13 which is not compatible with life.  I have a phone consult with a genetic counselor tomorrow morning and I am just waiting for radiology to call me to schedule the US.  Waiting is always the hardest par!

    Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I hope you get answers sooner rather than later!
