Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

I'd say for me personally, it was probably around 16-18 weeks. With this pregnancy... MUCH earlier - maybe 10-12 weeks.

ETA, my first "are you pregnant" comment from a stranger was around 24 weeks

My doctor called me back today. She said she will not refer me for an amino.

She said the risks of the amino procedure itself (even though they are much "safer" than they used to be) were way higher than the chances of me having a DS baby--especially with my odds and everything else being "normal" on the ultrasound.

She said the two EIF's will probably resolve themselves by my next appointment and to try to relax. Yeah right!

Interestingly, she did not raise my odds for a DS baby because of these two markers.

I have been praying--and I'm not normally a religious person....but I have been praying that everything is healthy, normal, etc. I am hoping that the baby's two "tiny" EIF's have disappeared completely in 3 weeks.

Hey everyone, still following this thread. Even though I am not preggers anymore, I still like to check in and see how all of yall are doing. Even though this is not my first baby, I am still trying to accept that he is really here and I am not still preggers. Still catch myself protecting my stomach like he is still in there lol. Does not help that I still have to watch what I eat and what meds. I take since I am pumping so it is kind of like he is still inside.

Guess I need to find this parents forum someone mentioned on here earlier.

Here is another picture of my lil Ian. Just wanted to show him off again. Can't help myself! lol

He is wrapped in a blanket I made for Isaac (first son) and laying on the blanket I made for him.

My Victorias Secret catalog came in the mail today...

How mean of them was that? I mean, all I can probably squeeze into of theirs right now, and still look decent, is their bras and shoes... Well, with the unpredictable swelling, I can probably cross off the shoes too!!

I know, I was very upset to be pregnant during the semi annual sale, and will be nursing during the next one. That is the only time I can afford to shop there and they are the only place that carries the odd size bras I need. I guess there will be next year

I know.. Their bras are sooo comfortable... But expensive if not on sale.

So I am starting to get swollen ankles now.

And my belly button is continually getting more and more shallow. Did yours pop out?

I haven't really been swelling at all (knock on wood), today I took off my wedding ring because it was a little tight, but not bad.
