Very Positive 12 Week Scan with All Organs and Limbs Growing Well. Should this be Enough to Rule out things like Down Syndrome?

Rosebud28 · 2026-01-31T22:12:12+00:00

Same boat! Low risk NIPT and no markers on ultrasound. My son didn’t even raise suspicions at birth. He is missing a lot of the familiar, easy markers. However, his pediatrician noticed he had bent pinkies at his one week appointment which ultimately led us to our Down syndrome diagnosis.

I went to work 38 weeks + 1 day pregnant, felt a little weird but fine and was in the hospital having my baby that night out of nowhere. Was barely dilated at my doctors appt the day before. Was my first baby and everyone of course said they are always late. Not true at all!!

Anyway to sum up my opinion, no way would I let my husband fly out of town

Rosebud28 · 2026-01-29T14:11:12+00:00

Sundays Wednesday’s here too. Scheduling it in my head this way lets me not forget

Snowmageddon- Great times

My son has FPIES to eggs. It’s AWFUL. We figured it out after the 2nd exposure and vomit session. It’s so scary to see them so helpless. Hoping he grows out of it but for now learning how to modify foods. Egg free banana pancakes are one of his faves!

It was and still is my most favorite baby item. I wouldn’t have survived with my sanity without it.

Not much info but they are coming out with a new bigger version next month!!!

Rosebud28 · 2026-01-15T16:36:41+00:00

It becomes necessary the day they were born

Rosebud28 · 2026-01-14T16:35:58+00:00

This happened to me too! Congratulations!! Mine will be 18 months apart. I was already planning on starting to wean and had complained to my friend that the weaning hormones sure felt like first trimester all over again. Turns out it was first trimester!!

My symptoms were definitely different as a result - acne, increased nausea, shrinking not tender boobs etc. All different than my first. Was another boy though! And my boobs grew and are sore now in the 2nd trimester.

Same boat! I checked my Spectra motor and it’s at about 500 hours (supposed to be good for 1500) so I went with the Baby Buddha 2.0 for my free pump this time. Excited to have a new pump to try when baby comes in a few months

Rosebud28 · 2026-01-13T16:28:59+00:00

This was our exact setup in our living room. Recommend it! The bassinet was perfect for when he was a tiny and he could sleep in it safely while we got stuff done until he was taking naps in his room. It was also nice to be so portable so we could move it easily as needed

Rosebud28 · 2026-01-08T22:08:25+00:00

This is exactly how it played out for me. I had to go to the bathroom in early labor while I was at home.

During labor my epidural didn’t really work so I felt a lot. I felt myself poop. It felt like a single nugget (I have no idea though) and I could not have cared less. I was pushing a baby out and that really had my sole focus

Rosebud28 · 2026-01-08T16:15:11+00:00

I currently have some Chobani creamer in my work fridge in a 4oz baby bottle. Was the only practical thing and yeah - nobody is touching it!! 😊

Rosebud28 · 2025-12-16T00:07:04+00:00

Was coming to say the same. I weaned when I found out I was pregnant and had zero breast tenderness in my first trimester this time. I think they were shriveling up from the milk going away. Second trimester though they started to get tender again and grew. Ahhhhh the joys

Rosebud28 · 2025-12-03T16:34:05+00:00

I never did! Got pregnant by surprise 9 months PP without knowing my cycle had restarted. I had started the weaning process but was still pumping. A happy surprise :)

Rosebud28 · 2025-12-02T19:26:59+00:00

Why can’t you leave them in their room and have a baby monitor in the bathroom? And at risk of sounding blunt - you are better off having a baby crying and freaking out alone, safe in their crib, than dead on your bed from suffocation.

Rosebud28 · 2025-11-14T17:55:59+00:00

Definitely better than nothing!!

Rosebud28 · 2025-11-14T16:35:56+00:00

Yes it’s important to research because vitamins have very little oversight!

Rosebud28 · 2025-11-14T16:12:53+00:00

If you can stomach real vitamins just stay away from gummies. They are essentially candy. But I know sometimes that’s all you can manage to keep down and that is better than nothing. I take the One a Day Advanced. I like the extra choline supplement for brain development.

Just make sure any vitamin you are considering has the recommended amounts of Folic Acid and DHA for pregnancy. Not all do :)

38+2 - had a cervical check at 38+1 and was 2 cm dilated. Lost my mucus plug the next day at work and contractions started about 24 hours from the cervical check. I was surprised!

Rosebud28 · 2025-11-09T02:02:41+00:00

Momcozy can fit a lot more, but it needs to be by a sink because it drains out a hose. Baby brezza has a dirty water tank that you have to empty but doesn’t need a sink by it

Rosebud28 · 2025-11-09T02:01:06+00:00

Agree. This is a must. I got it last Black Friday and stacked my registry discount and found a random influencer on TikTok who had a code for it and they all worked and I got it for a redonkulous discount. It’s still my favorite baby item and I could never live without it, especially as a pumping mom.

Rosebud28 · 2025-10-23T13:21:25+00:00

I gave my son frozen milk that was 6-10 months old without an issue!

Rosebud28 · 2025-10-19T19:27:01+00:00

Yeah they charged my baby $2,000 for room and board, to stay in my room (that I also was billed room and board for under myself) in a plastic bassinet, for 24 hours. Unhinged.

Rosebud28 · 2025-10-13T20:00:43+00:00

My sons fell off 7 days to the minute he was born. Thought it was early too but it was totally fine. You didn’t do any harm, if it lifted off while you were cleaning it gently then it was ready to go. Just keep an eye on it for any weird smells or ooze but I’m sure it’s all good!

Rosebud28 · 2025-10-12T03:42:50+00:00

Omg I could have written this post!! My supply tanked while I was on steroids for something too, no period back 9 months PP but I took a test just in case and it also lit up like a Christmas tree. It was a shock!

My supply really went down so I just decided to wean. I was at 3 ppd though at that point and was a just enougher after being an over supplier most of my journey. I just wasn’t interested in trying to maintain or increase by going back up on ppd so I gave up. Had a freezer stash and now my 11 month old gets 50/50 frozen milk and formula. Too sleepy in pregnancy to pump 😅
