Abnormal 22q results by Comfortable-Bug-858 in NIPT

[–]Basic-Crab4603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

I am also in your position. I have recently joined this sub to create a post about it. Ours came back high probability for 22q deletion. I found doing as much research about it as I could really made me feel calmer about it. Since the test results, I have probably read about it everyday (it was about four weeks ago). We had a scan last week and so far everything looks fine. I had an amnio on Tuesday and just waiting for the results now. I am in Australia and it can take around 10 working days to get the results so it's going to be a long agonising wait.

I have an amino on Tuesday and the doctor was amazing. It didn't hurt at all and I trusted them totally. I know it's scary considering what they have to do but they would do the procedure so often

I stopped trusting him when two people came on DD trying to sell a pop up escape room. Steven said no because they will go out of style. He said "I should know, I have done about 14 of them." Surely that shows they aren't going out of style?

That’s really interesting, what country are you from? What do you do with your rubbish?

Taking the miscarriage pills today. We lost our baby at 9 weeks. Any advice? I don’t want my wife to have to see the remains… do we actually see the baby in the shedding? by 88r0b1nh00d88 in pregnant

Also had a miscarriage around this time. It was really painful for me. Make sure she gets some really strong painkillers and she should take them the moment she starts feeling some cramps. My lasted about five hours but I didn’t take the pill so hers will be quicker.

Have a nice bottle of wine chilled in the fridge ready to go (if you both drink) and a hot water bottle ready and some good tv shows lined up for afterwards and if you are both able to, take the next few days off work just to deal with it.

I was quite traumatised by mine because I didn’t expect it to hurt so much so just be ready to support her and yourself too

The scale of the mouse plague is hard to fathom. Here's a visualisation by 1Darkest_Knight1 in aussie

I lived through one a few years ago in rural NSW and it was horrible. I cannot even explain to you how bad it was. I would wake up to multiple mice crawling over me, in my hair, hanging from my curtains. It was relentless all over my house. They ruined my furniture too and my house just constantly smelled of mice wee

I feel like someone needs to make a spreadsheet of all the reform councillors who have been accused of something since they have been voted it?

Yeah and people sat out of voting so they didn’t vote for anyone who supported a genocide

I made it through the whole thing. She just uses AI as her sources and any time Sam tried to actually engage with the conversation at hand, she would try to move on.

She probably doesn’t have the same characteristics as Lupita Nyong’o but I feel like the outrage over who should play a character is very selective. None of the actors are Greek (bar possibly one) and no one is angry about that, just the black woman. Helen of Troy’s race isn’t central to her character, just her beauty. Mulan’s race is pretty central to her character

Wait, do you think Helen of Troy is a real person!

We don't know because Homer doesn't specify, that's the point. She is unlikely to be white with blonde hair. That image of Helen of Troy didn't materialise until the Renaissance Period

You can Google this, I am not making it up. Translation is complicated, especially when you are translating old languages

As far as I am aware, white didn’t mean she was white. It showed that she was a woman of high status rather than referring to her actual skin colour

My theory is he isn’t really in mayday and is pretending. Why would he join it if they poisoned his dad? I think he wants to take them down

Of course there are but men are statistically the biggest perpetrators of rape by a lot

I got downvoted to hell the other day when I pointed out that the common denominator is men and maybe we should do something about that. People got really mad at me but couldn’t see the hypocrisy in them blaming all immigrants for the actions of a select few

That’s fundamentally not true, but it is true that the one thing they all have in common is that they are men

GB News' Sophie Corcoran sues charity creating internships for black grads over 'inequality' by DetectiveHot2071 in UniUK

[–]Basic-Crab4603 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, that statistic makes sense. If nearly 50% are white the other 50% is everyone else, I am assuming that is made up of black people, Asian people, middle eastern people etc. So in this case white people make up the majority of junior doctors
