Good luck with the amnio. Make sure to breathe the whole time. I didn't and got very light headed. It's not comfortable but once you have the good results we are all praying for it will be worth it.
Thank you so much ladies. My SO and I are having a difficult time and knowing that all of you are thinking of us and our baby has lifted our spirits. I talked to the genetic counselor again today. She told me in the history of the Verifi test there was only one other documented finding like mine. She told me that the outcome was that baby was healthy and the mother had some genetic issues. I am praying this is the case for me. I go in Monday morning they are going to run more blood tests (to check me for genetic issues) and we've opted for the amino. I am praying everything goes as well as it can. I will update when I know more. Thank you all again.
fingers crossed!
Fingers, Toes, Eyes, Arms, Legs, basically anything I can cross will be crossed and praying for good news
I received one of the results from the blood samples they took. It looks like I have leukemia. Not what I was expecting at all and I'm not sure what this means for me or my baby. Going back to the clinic in a couple of hours to sit down with the doctor. I'll update when I can.
Oh my gosh @supgabs I don't even know what to say. I am so sorry you are getting this news on top of everything else. I hope the doctor can give you some clarity on what is going on, and what the next steps are for you and your LO. I am keeping you in my thoughts and I am so very sorry you are going through all this.
@supgabs I am so sorry to hear this news - when you said that the strange results from the blood test might have something to do with you, this was still the last possibility I thought would happen. I cannot imagine what you are going through, but I hope your doctors are helping you in every way they know how, and please know we are here, supporting you, rooting for you, and generally being as supportive as we can be.
I'm so sorry about the news you got. I hope the doctor is able to provide plenty of answers and a plan at your appointment. Thinking of you and your baby boy.
Im so sorry you are going through such an ordeal right now:( T&Ps to you and your little one. It sounds like you are in good hands and they will do everything in their power to get you healthy and happy. Everyone is praying for a full and safe recovery! ((hugs!!))
@supgabs I am so sorry to see the latest update. Stay positive and strong and I will keep your in my thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine how you are feeling. Big hugs
@supgabs I cannot imagine how you must be feeling right now. All I can do is promise that I am sending every prayer and positive thought your way in this moment. I pray for you and your family to have strength and courage in facing this news and for positive outcomes for you and your LO. Please know that if you need anything, we are here for you!
Just seeing your most recent update, and I am so very sorry! I am sending you many prayers that it was caught early, and that your future steps will help to get you healthy without having to compromise your pregnancy! You are in my thoughts for sure!! I am so sorry again!
So sorry that you have received this news...I hope that they have caught it early and that the doctors devise an effective treatment plan for you going forward. Keeping you and baby boy both in my prayers.
I honestly can't thank you ladies enough for the kind words and support. My original blood work back in October was completely normal so the leukemia came on within the last couple of months. I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. What type exactly is yet to be determined. I will be checking into the U of MN cancer treatment center either tomorrow or Thursday where they will start me on steroids until they find out exactly what type of ALL I have. Then we will start chemo. I am far enough in my pregnancy that my son should not be harmed from the chemo.
I will be in the hospital for at least 5 weeks. There was talk of inducing me early so I can have a bone marrow transplant. We are aiming for at least 32 weeks gestation but may have to induce as early as 28 weeks depending on my progress. I am not happy about being induced. My whole birth plan was thrown out the window >:( but it is what it is. I also won't be able to breastfeed which is totally screwing up my attachment parenting but again...it is what it is. I am so sad for my son because he will have to spend his first month pr so of life in the NICU. This just is not what I was expecting for us when I got my BFP early October.
It's crazy how your life can be flipped upside down in a matter of days. I am thankful that this was caught early and that I am far enough along that I can still carry my son until he is viable to survive outside the womb. I am honestly convinced that my son saved my life because if it wasn't for him we would have never had all these tests run and I may not have been diagnosed until it was too late. I will forever be grateful for him!
The doctor gave me about a 90% chance of survival so I am confident that I will be able to beat this and return to my life within the next year. Mind over matter amirite?
I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Prayers for you that you are able to recover quickly and that your son continues to grow strong. He truly is a blessing for you.
@supgabs I was all prepared with some words of encouragement then I read your latest post and am back at square one. How you put it was real and insightful and still positive. So thankful they caught it early & after you are able to carry your little one to viability. Perhaps he is your guardian angel in different sort of way. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings to you all. And last but not least BIG Hugs!
I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. You seem to have a positive outlook and we are behind you all the way! You can do this! I wish you the best of luck on your journey to wellness.
Wow I am so sorry to hear this. I am glad you are seeing the positives in the situation and I will continue to pray for you and your son. You have an amazing outlook in life.
I'm so glad you have a good out look on this. You are stronger then I could ever be. Truly put my life into perspective. May you always have the strength you need to continue with your fight.
@supgabs You are amazing! I'll admit that after this morning's post I got online and did a little research and was surprised (but glad) to find the same thing you are saying, that chemo in later pregnancy often has no effect on the baby. Please keep us updated on your treatment, how the LO is doing and know that we are rooting for you all the way!
I don't want to "like" your post because there is a ton of not likable stuff in there. However, I am totally blown away by your attitude. Seriously, there just are not words to describe how impressed I am by you. I hope tomorrow's check in goes smoothly and that the next 5 weeks bring the results we are all hoping for. I'm glad your doctors sound so positive about your long term outcome- and that you can proceed with treatments in a way that will be safe for your baby boy. Please let us know if there is anything that you need at all or that we can possibly do to make this easier for you.
I am so very sorry to read this. Please know that I will be hoping and praying for you! You have a very positive attitude and I believe this will help you immensely for your recovery.x
