So, to tell or not to tell, what do you think? Given my age (38), this being my first and all the statistical risks we face, should i tell the Family during Christmas or wait until the end of the first trimester? thoughts?View Thread

he was born at 33 or 35 weeks (it depend on what dr you ask)
he was 5lb 4 oz and 18 inches longView Thread
My question is this, is the ultrasound test, itself, a better indicator of a possible issue of having a child with an abnormality or is the blood work a better indicator? Is there one of the two that more emphasis is placed upon? If so, which one?
Thanks for your time and for the education.View Thread
It's called Maternit21.
It is a completely safe way of testing for Down Syndrome, because it is a genetic test. It's non-invasive. It's more accurate.
Ask your doctor about this new test which just became available this month.
For more information about the test, Google search on "Maternit21".
So far, it's available in 20 major cities.View Thread
I have never posted in a forum such as this but my husband & I are not sure what to do. I am 35 yrs old and expecting our 2nd baby May 12th 2012. My dr is strongly recommending that we have all the CVS/genetic tests done. We are not sure that this is necessary. The test results will not change how we approach this baby. We tried for over a year to conceive and will not terminate because of a genetic "problem". My 1st pregnancy was perfect and we have a beautiful 3 yr old daughter.
Are all the additional tests really necessary? What are your thoughts?
Thank you for any & all comments/thoughts.View Thread

Well, Monday came, appointment day. We were supposed to hear the baby's heartbeat. She put the doppler on my stomach, NOTHING. So we went into another room and done the vaginal ultrasound. She looked and looked, called in another Dr. they looked and looked but did NOT see the baby. The sac was there intact, appropriate size for the stage of pregnance that I was (12 weeks), but still no baby...
I telling this story to see what others think may have happened to the baby. Couldn't have been Blighted Ovum, as we saw the baby and the heartbeat at 6 weeks and 4 days. I don't understand it, what happened to my baby? Can the baby eject from the SAC without me knowing?????View Thread
I was just wondering if anyone else has had these kind of results and what the outcome was!
Thankyou AmandaView Thread
Posted by faith11s HiBeen trying to conceive for about 2 years now; am in my early 40's and DH in his mid 50's, so, it isn't easy - add to it his work schedule, things really start getting messy. Heard of clearblue to pinpoint ovulation so there is a chance to BD when - as opposed to whenever we can. However, those things are'nt available in India.
Getting a new one shipped to me has beena nightmare in more ways than one - frightfully expensive to begin with, then add horrendous shipping costs and with the conversion, it's waaaaaaaaaaaay out of my league. Also looked at eBay, most dont want to ship here and those that do are quite expensive. Drop-shippers too.
Does anyone know anyone who might have a gently used monitor that they might be willing to part with to help a distressed woman who desperately needs the help? Pls let me know. Costs have been adding up and with DH being the only working member of the (joint)family and burning both ends of the candle already, i dont want to ask him for more; he's a darling and will just work himself down to the bone - especially considering how desperate i am...

Thanks for reading, and hope someone can help...View Thread
I am open to any help or advise either from doctors or member of this community. Thanks.
