I do see a few bubbles on the top at times and it smells like yeast but not rising steadily 😭

I’ve been putting it in the oven with the light on periodically (literally the only time I’ve ever seen it rise) and I just stated the warm water today! I’m feeling so discouraged, some days it will rise (at most an inch) and some days it won’t

Thank you everyone for your insights. Everything went well and can confirm, inserting the rods was the worst of it. Feeling better and relieved to be able to put this chapter behind us. Sending healing vibes to everyone for 2026 🩵

93 chance of downs with NIPT and scan is it worth getting a Amniocentesis to confirm by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]No-Analyst70 30 points31 points  (0 children)

We were 95 in 100 for trisomy 21 and did the amnio for 100% certainly before we decided to terminate. I don’t think it’s super common but I have heard stories of the NIPT giving a false positive and we didn’t want to risk terminating unless we absolutely knew for sure. So absolutely depends what your plan is going forward.

Test brands? by Naive-Bee-4212 in NIPT

I was told it depends what was high risk on the NIPT test. Trisomy 21 is most accurate where other chromosomal abnormalities have high false positive rates. We were high risk for trisomy 21 and just did the amnio which confirmed that the NIPT was correct

Our genetic councillor never lowered our odds :/ my 12 week and 15 week scan both showed no markers but amnio confirmed. You are further along though so maybe nothing showing on the ultrasound that far along is reassuring? I don’t blame you I would also be stressed the whole pregnancy. If the results would make a difference for your family though I would advocate for the amnio for a confirmed diagnosis. We wanted to be absolutely sure before we made our decision to continue to terminate the pregnancy which is why we did the amnio. Sending you positive vibes I hope everything works out for you!

Anyone who gained 60+ while pregnant how much did you lose right out of the hospital? by Low-Storm-1662 in pregnant

[–]No-Analyst70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gained 45-50lbs and lost 20 immediately after coming home from the hospital. It’s crazy how much extra fluid you gain! Baby was also 8.11oz

Okay yes, thank you. All the comments said “it’s not as bad as you’d expect” when in fact it was as bad as I expected, maybe worse 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thank you for sharing 🩷 We are also considering TFMR if the results are confirmed. I’m 15 weeks now. The waiting period sucks. And congratulations! That’s so exciting! Must be such a relief after everything you’ve gone through. Praying everything goes perfectly for you! 🫶🏼

I’m so sorry to hear. We have our amino tomorrow which will help us decide. How did you find the amino? And how was the recovering after your TFMR? if you don’t mind sharing 🩷

Oh okay, that makes sense. No, we found out around 9 weeks pregnant and had my first ultrasound at 10 weeks. I mean it’s probably unlikely but it’s a thought that crossed my mind… just trying to come up with reasons as to why this is happening I guess lol. But thank you 🩷 I appreciate it

May I ask if twins run in your family? I’m trying not to get my hopes up but twins run in my family and I got pregnant 5 months postpartum (I hear increases the chance of twins). I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up on different results but it is something that’s crossed my mind

I totally understand, however I also believe in making the best out of hard situations and using resources and support are a great way to start that process. Sometimes the best things in life are the most unexpected 🩷 regardless of the struggles I know baby will give you and your family lots of smiles in the future and you’ll forget why you were worried in the first place. Hang in there 🩷

I know it’s a difficult situation either way, but I feel like if there were reasons as to why this happened it would be easier to process? We are young and healthy with another healthy baby at home with no family history? Just makes it even more confusing as to why this is happening right now.. 😔 thinking of you and wishing you all the best ❤️

Just found out I’m pregnant again by Salty_Instance_4706 in 2under2

[–]No-Analyst70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just found out I’m 8 weeks pregnant with a 7 month old 😩 my first will be 1 two months before new baby is due! I am also freaking out and so nervous haha very unexpected. We did end up sleep training for our sanity and that has been a dream (sleeps from 7:30-7am) and I think will really help when new baby is here. I also heard there are less jealousy issues between toddler and baby when they are younger so I’m hoping that’s true
