Not bad, but then I am a teacher used to eating school dinners! Chicken was fairly moist and there were some carrots hidden in there too. Apple crumble was warm and edible! 6/10
I had just about come to terms with the diagnosis and horrible reality of tfmr. I thought, 'at least I have a choice, some control, over how it ends'. But no, i can't even have that. D&e at any local hospital is weeks long waiting lists (one hospital just rejected my referral outright) and I can't bear the thought of waiting and becoming increasingly more pregnant. So L&d it is and I will have to live with my first experience of birth being the most traumatic moment of my life. Thanks NHS.
Ps. I don't blame the lovely midwife who has been calling around tirelessly trying to find somewhere that can do it sooner because she is trying to give me the outcome I wanted 💜
Hello, will be tfmr next week. Thinking ahead, when did you start tracking bbt and opks again? Did you wait for your first period or start tracking straight away?
Tw: TFMR
Found out a couple of days ago that baby has Trisomy 18 and I will have to TFMR. The scan was traumatising. The CVS procedure was painful and traumatising. I don't want to burden my friends with the amount of trauma and shit I am going through. I don't think I can verbalise it through a phone call but I want to get it off my chest. Everything about this sucks. I wanted this baby so, so badly. We had been trying for a whole goddamn year for this baby. Next wednesday it will all be over. The cot arrived an hour ago. Husband said he was going to deal with it but he was on a work call so I had to take delivery
Hello, i've joined this awful club and am looking for advice on how to make the next couple of weeks more bearable. We found out yesterday that baby has trisomy 18 (nipt and scan) and are looking at terminating next Wednesday after the CVS results are in. Is there any advice on the little things or big things you did or wish you had done to make the run up, procedure and recovery easier? This is a shit situation so any way to make it even a tiny bit easier would be appreciated. Love to you all 💜
Hello, i have been reading through this subreddit like a mad person since I had my combined screening results on Tuesday.
My 12 week ultrasound showed baby measuring 11 weeks 2 days (baby has always been a week behind based on ovulation and lmp but they don't seem worried) but NT is 1.7 and the anatomy all looks normal. Nothing flagged in the scan.
However, my hcg and papp a are both very low. I have been put on 100mg aspirin daily and have had extra growth scans booked in. More worryingly the combined screening shows that I have a 1 in 2 chance of Edwards or Patau syndrome.
They did a nipt and now I have to wait. I just don't know how they came up with those numbers. I understand the hcg and papp a play a big part but i'm 32, non smoker, a little overweight but not obese and the ultrasound was great. I don't really know what i'm asking for... I just feel lost and confused.
