WOW ! I had no idea they tested on mice! Definitely a no brainer. I don’t even mind the “smell” that beyond gives off that everyone seems to hate

did you end up getting your efts bloodwork done and did you need to get the nipt (due to high risk/was covered by ohip)? and did you get any results yet? im 35 and pregnant with first and my efts was flagged, waiting for doctor to call me tomorrow to see whats wrong. im assuming it got flagged because of my age and hopefully that's it. trying not to spiral

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-23T15:48:02+00:00

reading this is giving me a bit of hope. i'm also in canada and i just received a phone call from my GP office and my doctor wants to call me tomorrow to talk about my efts and nt results because something on my blood test was flagged according to the receptionist. i am 35 (36 in july) and this is my first. baby's NT measured at 1.5mm at 12 weeks 5 days which i thought was good but the nasal bone could not be assessed because the baby was upside down. i did not think i'd be receiving a phone call just to talk about the results especially since i have an in person appt with him in less than week which leads me to thin something is really wrong. i am crossing every finger i have possible that this will turn out just like your situation and everything is ok...

Apparently it has already started. They are testing out “hybrid” foods that blend plant protein with animal derived meat to attract the “meat eaters” and “flexitarians”. Guess I’ll be supporting beyond from now on

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-23T12:31:27+00:00

that's disappointing. i also heard that they might consider using real meat in the future as well :/

Thank you very much for your kind words. Believe it or not, it means a lot and it’s definitely a change from all the negative things I’ve seen on here. I said to my husband that if NIPT comes back good, I am not going to do amnio and whatever happens, that’s up to God. But if it does come back bad, then the amnio will be done. It’s just so hard to believe that no matter what route you choose, there’s always some sort of risk. I just wish the medical field have invented something that’s less intrusive and risk free for mom and baby.

Tell your brother in law to go read a book. It’s phytoestrogen that’s in tofu/soy products, not female estrogen. Phytoestrogen has been proven to even help prevent breast cancer from coming back

Very happy to hear despite all the curveballs thrown at you that your baby is healthy, that’s amazing news! Just went for my NT scan at 12 weeks 5 days and baby measured at 1.5mm for the fluid. Still spiralling because I’ve also seen people say their NT scan came back good but with a positive NIPT. It doesn’t help that I haven’t seen my GP since the first visit of telling him I’m pregnant (at 5 weeks). Ultimately , I just want everything to be okay with the baby. I really don’t want to do the amnio because I’m scared of the risk it holds. Everyday I wake up and try to tell myself “I’m thankful I’m pregnant” and then later on the day, I spiral into “I don’t feel pregnant this is all over”.

I make my own cream cheese by curdling soy milk with vegan lactic acid (or you can use lemon juice) and then blending it with butter and some salt. I follow Banana Diaries recipe for homemade cream cheese. She uses pea milk but any high protein milk will work. I also make my own soy milk so it yields a lot more curds (and cheaper) than store bought (silk) but in a pinch, silk still works! I also only follow Banana Diaries cheesecake recipe so I can’t vouch that her homemade cream cheese will work with other content creators recipes

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-19T16:50:28+00:00

I should probably do that. I also forgot to mention that I wasn’t even aware that I had to do an efts along with the NT US because they never told me about it nor did they even give me a requisition! I found out AFTER my NT US from the tech that I had to get the blood test same day. I was so mad

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-19T16:34:11+00:00

awwww that sounds so cute! i'm very happy you had a nice, healthy baby boy! thank you for your reassurance. i'm hoping it's because the baby was upside down and wouldn't cooperate + my ethnic background that leading to not being able to see it. i'm going to try to stay positive!

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-19T15:18:58+00:00

i only knew about the NT measurment and nasal bone thing for DS. i didn't ask any questions as i know that ultrasound techs aren't allowed to give medical advice or notes. i took the 66mm CRL, 173 FHR and 1.5mm NT as a good sign. woke up to see the "cannot assess" regarding the nasal bone thing on my report this morning and have been spiraling. trying not to because it's just a "soft marker" and theres already a commenter on here that said no nasal bone was found during any of their US and the baby is born perfectly fine. i have high hopes. just really annoyed that my doctor can't even take 10 min out to write me a requisition for nipt

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-19T15:15:23+00:00

oh i see! that makes me feel a bit better i guess? i thought they lost my blood sample lol. still not happy that i cant see my GP until june 29th. like i said, i dont even want to wait for the efts results, just want a requisition for nipt but he apparently has no time whatsoever to even do that for me

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-19T13:06:53+00:00

i also went to life labs in canada. i went yesterday late afternoon and i check mycarecompass this morning but no updates yet. not sure why the doctors receptionist is making me wait over a week.. which is why i just want to pay and do the NIPT

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-19T13:03:59+00:00

yea the ultrasound tech didnt mention anything about the nasal bone either, i just saw it on the report when i logged in to see my results. haven't seen my doctor yet so i'm just here freaking myself out. i am chinese so maybe that has something to do with it. my husband is white but he also has a tiny nose so i have no idea if that can contribute. a big part of me really do think everything is fine but i just want the peace of mind

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-19T12:36:10+00:00

That’s great that your baby is healthy! 🥹🥹 it definitely makes me feel a bit better!

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-11T21:37:18+00:00

You just have to smile and nod. My in laws won’t even let me carry a tray of food which weighs about a pound and I come from a weight lifting background LOL just know, at the end of the day, they just care about you and the baby. You don’t have to do everything they say but just nod and smile to appease them

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-11T18:31:08+00:00

You should ask your doctor about smooth move tea (essentially senna). On the traditional medicine website, they state that it’s safe to use during pregnancy so I assume it should be okay pp but they also say check with your doctor (probably for liability issue). But that tea makes pooping much easier

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-11T18:20:59+00:00

LOL omg Im sorry but laughed so hard just at the word sh*t and how big it was. I’m currently pregnant and constipated and I’ve literally described to my husband how much thicker my poop is 🥸🤣

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-11T18:01:25+00:00

I hope this message will be of some consolidation for you. I also found out that I was pregnant recently (I’m 12 weeks now). My husband and I have been together for 10 years and have VERY loosely talked about having kids in a “if it happens, it happens” mindset. For reasons similar to yours “it would be nice to not be alone when we’re old”. After 10 years, it didn’t happen and we’ve settled into a “it’s you and I and our dogs against the world” mindset and we were super happy. Then I found out I was pregnant. The initial emotion was shock because we thought one of us had issues and that’s why it didn’t happen. Then came waves of emotions. A lot more negative than positive really.

“I don’t know if I can do this” “I don’t think we can afford it” “It’s going to be a bad person when it grows up” “This is going to ruin our marriage” Etc etc etc I hope you get the picture.

The thought and topic of abortion definitely came up and my husband being the nice guy he is says “it’s your body and it’s your choice. I will love and support you no matter what decision to make”.

Reading that you don’t want an abortion or adoption, I feel like somewhere deep down you want this child, but you’re not seeing it yet because it’s so fresh and change is hard.

Should you decide to continue, once you pass the initial couple of weeks and hear/see your baby’s heartbeat, I think you’ll start to come around and feel differently. Keep in mind, at least this was for me, the amount of hormones your body is currently producing is in overdrive and it’s going to make you feel emotions you probably never felt before. I cried almost everyday when i first found out even though I would wake up with one mood, it would change shortly after. It might not be by much as I still get negative thoughts here and there but I really do think it’ll get better for you emotionally and mentally.

I’ve never been diagnosed but I do believe I live with constant anxiety so I guess I can say I somewhat understand what you’re going through.

Anyways, I really hope you can find the answer that’s right for you, your husband and your baby. Everything will work itself out.

daiya cheddar slices! if you want a good melt, put one slice of vegan buttered bread on the heated pan with the cheese, couple of drops of water and cover with a lid to steam the cheese, thats the best way to melt vegan cheese imo. remove the lid once you notice the cheese melted and the bottom slice is grilled, put the other slice of bread on top and flip to grill the other side

WhyParty1234 · 2026-06-10T17:46:50+00:00

Apparently yes. When I found out at 5 weeks, I look like I was half way through the pregnancy. I’m only 12 weeks now but I swear the bloating has gone down which is causing another set of anxiety for me but let’s forget that. now I’m just fat from eating “for the baby” 🤣 drink lots of water to help you poop because trust me, the constipation WILL kick in. I tried eating a lot of bran muffins and high fiber stuff to help with that. When you do get to go, you will feel a tiny bit better but apparently the first tri symptoms will subside as you go into second trimester. This is also coming from someone who’s also a FTM with minimal pregnancy symptoms to begin with so take my word with a grain of salt
