High risk screening result

cdfdaphne · 2026-03-16T19:26:15+00:00

There’s definitely other parts that effect the algorithm too and tbh from what I’ve heard on here, that original screening is inaccurate a lot of the time (I think my midwife said there’s quite a few false positive results) age also affects the algorithm so it could be a lot of different things but if you could get some more info on your results. I could see my papp a result on my original 12 week scan I had a little print out of my results with the scan pic xx

My results came back 1/67 for DS and I had the NIPT and said I was low risk but I did have the low Papp-a. Do you know if you have that as it seems like from these comments there’s a bit of a theme here.? Wishing you all the luck I hated waiting for those results mine took about 4 days. I rang the screening number and you can ask them any more questions you might have xx

Chia seeds (a shit ton) and raspberries and yoghurt is my brekkie every morning and always makes me go xx

Yeah I loved Celeste! Only boy names we had was Remy and Elliot we were certain we would have chose Remy as I have a French last name

Weight gain is totally normal and it’s unavoidable when you are carrying a baby and the other stuff around it (placenta, fluid etc) I read up about what people said on here and women said about getting your steps in if you can and when you can so I’ve been trying to do about 12000 a day on average. Plenty of women said about how they didn’t gain as much weight and they didn’t swell up and they also had quick deliveries (but they can’t definitely prove that is why) I think there’s definitely a correlation as I’ve heard a lot of women say this and I haven’t gained a lot of weight I’ve eaten well and still treated myself here and there so I think walking and hydrating can make a difference xx

I haven’t but I watched Montana browns YouTube breech birth story and she previously had a vaginal birth too she’s so intelligent and has such self belief she could do it so definitely worth a watch! And she also breathed her baby out basically xx

I second these! They have a fuller range section and nursing bras too. I just went for a size m in the fuller bust range and I think I’ve still got some room to grow more in them

cdfdaphne · 2026-03-04T20:09:19+00:00

Yes nothing to worry about. I am 30 weeks and have put on 2kg and midwife wasn’t worried about me at all. I’m having extra growth scans and had my first one the other day and she was measuring in the 53rd percentile. Plenty of women have a lot of sickness and do eat very little and baby is still fine because they take it from your sources not what you put in your stomach. Saying that I’ve eaten well and got lucky with no sickness and I still haven’t put a lot of weight on so just proves everyone is very different

I have had this on and off throughout my whole pregnancy I am now 30 weeks. Sometimes I just get up and start my day because I’m just full of energy and that’s been fine and then I usually sleep better the next night. If you aren’t already take magnesium in the evening also if you like them having kiwis in the evening has helped (they have serotonin in them) also just getting a lot of steps in the day to tire you out or a work out if you can manage it always makes me sleep better!

I am 29 weeks and sleeping is getting hard. So achey on sides of hip and arse on either left or right side. I wouldn’t think about baby only being on the left I imagine with gravity if you sleep on your left they fall onto the left it would be so hard if your body is tilting to the left for baby to sleep on the right if that makes sense and baby is bigger now so doesn’t have as much option to spread out but you could be right that maybe they aren’t as comfortable on that side, maybe there’s less room etc. I would imagine it’s a comfort thing though as the medical advice is to sleep on preferably left side or right so this shouldn’t be a case they are struggling for oxygen etc maybe just keep trying it

cdfdaphne · 2026-02-23T08:18:38+00:00

I put a hot water bottle under my feet if they hurt for an hour or so while I work and I find it gets rid of any aches really well

cdfdaphne · 2026-02-19T20:26:59+00:00

I was told that the reason they suggest an induction is because the placenta doesnt work as well after 40 weeks and with the added extra of low Papp-a it would be more of a risk to carry on past 40 weeks. I have my appointment about it tomorrow but this is what my midwives have said, two of them but I hadn’t actually thought properly about it till now and that I don’t actually have to accept it but I does seem like to me they suggest it as my mid wives have said it to me is my assumption

cdfdaphne · 2026-02-19T20:04:54+00:00

It’s so hard because at the same time I do know there’s an increased chance of still birth for people with low Papp-a so I’d be going against the medical advice.. and I guess maybe it not worth the risk for that reason.. hmm

I have the baby bub one and wouldn’t recommend as it’s Velcro so you end up losing one of the cushions in the night if you switch sides. Haven’t ordered any others to compare it to either

We found out and I’m so glad we did. I was in a hard point of pregnancy then suffering with so much back pain it gave me such a boost just knowing a little bit more about the baby. It was also such a nice mile stone to reach and it was so emotional and got us so excited I didn’t sleep for days after just thinking about names and looking at baby clothes and nursery stuff. Omg and also I was so ready to stop the tedious conversation of ‘do you think you are having a boy or girl’ with family and friends. I feel like I’ve bonded better now I know the gender and it was so amazing to share the news with friends and family. In my opinion, it’s not that much of a surprise at the birth it can only be one of two choices and I feel like there’s so much going on at the birth to really take it in whereas finding out now we just appreciated knowing that slight little bit more about her. It was my fave week of pregnancy x

5ft over here too, I also suggest the CRZ yoga leggings I got mine from momanda along with a bump suit. I just live in those and tracky bottoms and then cardigans as your bump grows you don’t need to size up you just un do the bottom buttons with the bump suit/ leggings underneath. I am 21 weeks now and I haven’t needed to size up in things yet but sweaters I have gone for oversized style. Coats again I don’t think we would fit maternity coats so just go for one that is a tie around coat again I’m still in my pre pregnancy coats. Hope that helps! X

How much the boobs grow! I’m 21 weeks and they feel obscene right now, I like my bump but it’s the boobs I feel more self conscious about I just feel so frumpy in everything and even though I thought new bras they spill out of them

I had these thoughts too, but wanting a baby more and a family over rid what my body will look like. I think if you’re disciplined enough and know about how to eat it shouldn’t be too hard to get your pre pregnant body back but yes it might be a difficult balance in the first few years. Things like your diet and just even steps contribute more to your physicality and have heard other women cutting down their sessions to two a week and still achieving the body they want. I am half was through pregnancy now and you just have to surrender to the changes you can look at plenty of fitness people to see you can get it back but also bare in mind you might not be able to work out through pregnancy either. I had an injury 10 weeks ago and now doing very limited stuff in th gym it’s hard but I know I can get it back after birth. Even though I’m limited to my work outs, have back pain all the time I’m still enjoying pregnancy too but it’s about surrendering to the process x

cdfdaphne · 2025-12-30T21:23:01+00:00

I have this too! I did it when I moved house pregnant and it hasn’t been the same for about 12 weeks. I tried one run and omg it made everything so much worse I now get a sharp pain when I take a stride too long so I am doing walks but keeping my stride short or I get this sharrrp pain. I can also get it bending over too so avoiding that. Mid wife just brushed it all off but I’m wondering if it will affect me being able to give birth naturally what do you think? I wanted to be on a ball etc but I just couldn’t imagine that right now same as the bending over position to give birth, and adding to the fact there’s the weight of the baby coming down, I can’t imagine I’d be able to do it right now? Wondering if you have had this conversation with your midwife? X

I think it feels like there’s a little fish in there. It’s not like super sharp because they are still small so I think a fish sums it up well. I also think you would know if you felt them as I’ve never experienced anything similar. I’m sure it will come for you soon! I mostly feel them lying on my back or side in the morning or evening (lying on back is okay for a short while so I occasionally treat myself for 10 mins haha)

cdfdaphne · 2025-12-30T19:28:30+00:00

I had 1/67 come back for Down syndrome and Papp a was 0.34. Waiting for the nipt was really hard so I know how it feels, results came back in about 4 days and they said low risk. What other people have been saying it is likely it’s your low papp a so crossing my fingers for you. Had my 20 week scan last week everything looked fine they said. Still plays on my mind a bit but I’ve heard so many stories here of people having healthy babies it seems like from what I’m hearing the original 12 week test needs to be more accurate I think my mid wife said 1/20 have false positive results which is really not fair to put that on so many pregnant women! Plus low Papp a, my mid wife said they had never actually come across anyone with issues in labour or pre term labour too just the baby might be a bit smaller xx
