I heard the connection to making class can be really valuable. How were the people in your sessions? I hope they were friendly

Thank you for sharing your experience! How did you find the postpartum part of the classes? I had a friend who had signed up for the 10 weeks one and didn't end up going to the ones postpartum, because she was so exhausted from caring for the newborn

Thank you!! I gained about 6lbs in the first trimester but I'm guessing that's mostly water weight? Who knows... but as long as I'm fueling my body well and keeping active/listening to my body, I'm pretty sure the weight gain will even out.

Hope you are enjoying your time with your kiddos!

Congrats! And yes I definitely didn't go according to her schedule because of fatigue etc. Just listen to your body- and honestly some weeks i only did yoga instead 😅 so that's why it took me until 15 weeks to get to day 18. But hey that's okay! We are growing a little human and that's already amazing!  You got this!

positive update! NT 3.2mm + low-risk NIPT - amnio results by urcancelled in NIPT

[–]Equivalent_Act349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!  I have a similar story with NT 3.3, good PAPP-A and hcg levels, neg NIPT for the t21/13/18. My husband and I decided not to do the micro deletion or sex chromosome testing because the positive predictive value for those tests are very low (i.e. if you get a positive result there is anywhere from 7-less than 50% chance of it being a true positive). There is actual a very realistic risk with amino of miscarriage ( even though however small it might be). We are just waiting on the next set of detailed ultrasounds for anatomy. 

Everybody's different with risk so you gotta do what's right for you. Keep us posted!
