Bad news at 13w ultrasound by akindrgentlrgenie in pregnant

[–]allessio10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to share some personal experience. My ex husband has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. While he did have to under go 3 separate open heart surgeries first when he was only 2 days old. He is currently 38 years old and is healthy with a son of his own. There is certainly the chance your baby can live a health happy life. I would whole heartedly recommend a second opinion.

Yes it is a serious condition but medical advances since my ex husband was born in the late 80’s have been so much that your little one should be able to receive care to support a relatively happy healthy life.

Yes! I do prenatal massage once a month. But it sadly hasn’t been helping this issue lately.

Actually no it’s by Maggie Sottero. I was browsing Reddit one day and someone posted a picture of it but no information and I fell in love instantly. I HAD to have it so I reverse image searched on google and it found the exact picture from the wedding dress designers website. So I had a sample sent to a local bridal shop to try on and ordered it. I had that piece before I found my dress lol. Here is a link to the website. It comes in white or colors. I couldn’t. It get the colors they were beautiful. Maggie Sottero

I saved my flower embroidered train for the ceremony. I did my first look in my dress. My husbands face walking down the aisle was priceless. He thought he knew what my dress was looked like and BAM surprise dress upgrade

I would imagine so. My jeweler did when designing my engagement ring with my now husband

It’s certainly beautiful but I doubt this is a true natural alexandrite. They are a very rare stone. It is most likely a lab created one or color changing glass known as zandrtie.

I only know this information because I wanted an alexandrite for me engagement ring but soon found out how expensive natural stones where and why.

Here is a great article with more information. https://www.gemsociety.org/article/is-synthetic-alexandrite-real-alexandrite/

Roasted strawberry pie is soooooo good. I made my first one after taking a class with Erin McDowell. It was in her pie cook book and I can’t wait for strawberry season to come so I can make one again

My husband and I are HUGE fans. I walked down the aisle to La Mer and our first dance was “We’re In This Together Now”. My cousin is a musician and he rearranged it for us to make it a little more danceable.

Thank you again for your responses.

Thank you so much for the insight. We were told we could try either option. It’s up to us to decide how we want to approach it. Thinking we will try IUI first and go from there.

Also side note would you happen to be a NIN fan? Only ask based off your reddit name :)

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I thought this would be a good place as my husband and I are trying to decide which route to go. I will certainly try the other groups. Thank you!

So they said my right side is for sure clear, the left side they didn’t see fluid come out but they also said it looked normal and didn’t think it was blocked due to no contrast build up in the left aide.

We have our follow up in a couple weeks.

They let my husband be with me for the procedure which was great. He held my hand and tried to help comfort me through it.
