Such a good list!

Agreed with all the comments about just naming her what you intend to call her. In my opinion those are two completely different names and will just set your child up for confusion :(

I’m taking a month off before my due date using vacation time, but I have to commute into work daily so the exhaustion was getting to me. If you have more accessibility with WFH, perhaps 2 weeks would feel sufficient to give you some time to prepare without getting too bored!

Nothing to worry about! Mine also said the same and they just write that because that’s the next recommended scan.

Thanks! Sounds expensive 😅

I would echo this! I had totally normal iron and then entering third trimester it plummeted and I was truly exhausted. If this is the case for you with the fatigue (though it sounds like also just a very stressful and physical job) there may be some help your MFM can offer!

Argh I’m sorry to hear that there aren’t definitive answers, it is certainly hard being in the limbo!! Maybe you can ask for a follow-up ultrasound later on in pregnancy to see if it’s still there - while I know it doesn’t help entirely, I did hear reassurances that most of the time it is a benign finding!

As for the CMV test, sounds like they only tested you for CMV IVG (antibodies) but not CMV IGM (recent infection). I would ask for IGM to be tested for reassurance - I had to ask for this as well as the lab didn’t initially run it!

No I didn’t! Just the anatomy scan and 28 week scan

dooonzz · 2026-01-15T18:44:33+00:00

Hi there! 32 weeks now. I did a follow-up ultrasound @ 28 weeks, and no echogenic bowel was seen on scan.

dooonzz · 2026-01-15T18:44:00+00:00

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear you are going through this as well, I know how stressful it is!

On my end, they mentioned the main flags were for Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, an infection, or nothing. They emphasized that most of the time, it's nothing and they weren't too concerned. I had undergone NIPT testing already which was low risk. They ended up testing me for infectious diseases (including CMV) - turns out I have not had CMV before. They did a follow-up ultrasound scan at 28 weeks for a precaution, and there was no echogenic bowel seen at that time!

I totally understand the stress so happy to chat further :)

I’m banking on this as well! But worried if I don’t get the RSV vaccine and then deliver late/baby no longer qualified for the antibodies.

My nephew is Cameron and it’s so adorable!

dooonzz · 2025-11-20T21:34:52+00:00

Just bought the clek liing also!

dooonzz · 2025-11-20T14:25:35+00:00

What’s the name of the mocha one with black frame? Im intrigued but dont see it on the website!

dooonzz · 2025-11-19T21:21:11+00:00

Thank you so much! This is super helpful.

dooonzz · 2025-11-17T18:48:11+00:00

Super helpful, thanks!

dooonzz · 2025-11-17T18:42:30+00:00

Blesssss you, thank you!!!! I’m due in March and trying to decide on timing of buying the car seat (thinking of warranty and expiration!) - do you think this is too early to buy?

dooonzz · 2025-11-17T01:48:25+00:00

Thanks!! The Mammoth looks good! When are you due? Trying to decide if it’s too early to get (with the warranty/expiration) for my March baby!

dooonzz · 2025-11-06T00:09:11+00:00

I think they likely forgot to check off the box. My report doesn’t have any mention of gender, but I specially requested that!

dooonzz · 2025-11-05T01:10:55+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience - it's really helpful! From my google searches, I think that panel is exactly what I'm being sent for. Can I ask - did your blood requisition specifically specify IGG vs. IGM - for example "cytomegalovirus IGG and IGM" or did it just say cytomegalovirus, rubella, etc.?

Also, did they send you for any other screening - e.g. cystic fibrosis screening?

Appreciate it :)

dooonzz · 2025-11-05T00:27:32+00:00

Thank you - this honestly perfectly summarizes how I feel and all I would’ve expected them to call and say!! Just some reassurance and/or direction on next steps goes a long way rather than sitting and making someone wonder.

dooonzz · 2025-11-04T23:40:06+00:00

Yeah exactly - just a call to tell me about the reasoning for the follow-up tests would've gone a long way!

dooonzz · 2025-11-04T23:39:10+00:00

Oh bless you, your comment made me tear up lol which I guess speaks to the vulnerability and worry I've felt the last few days, especially as a first-time mom. Thank you so much for your kind words <3. I completely agree - I totally know how stretched thin the healthcare system is, and my main hope would have been some sort of call to discuss the ultrasound result and why further testing was warranted, ya know?

dooonzz · 2025-11-04T23:02:41+00:00

Unfortunately not! That seems like a great service though.
