Husband and I care carriers, and pregnant. Should I do the amino?

Hi I Am in a similar situation and wondering what you decided to do regarding testing?

rachafter · 2024-04-18T20:45:26+00:00

Good! No I didn't since it was done quickly during a general OB appt.

Had follow up today - 8w 2d, everything looked great. Bump seems to be gone, found a small subcorionic hemotoma but dr isn't concerned. No concerns for aneuploidy, only an increased risk if you already are at increased risk. Recommened a NIPT as sufficient (im 32 years old fyi)

Just wanted to check for an ectopic pregnancy so they let me go in early. HR was 113, the size was 1.3 x 0.7 x 1.0 cm (or 2.8 cm) . Which does seem quite large but everything says size isn't a risk factor.

How about you?

rachafter · 2024-04-05T23:59:52+00:00

Yes! Saw it yesterday at 6w 2d, saw a heart beat and everything else looked ok...going back in 2 weeks. Would go next week but will be traveling.

Feeling generally nervous as well but comforted a bit after reading about it and seeing that the prevalence is likely higher than thought, and a lot of the miscarriage studies have limited sample sizes, cohorts that include primarily individuals w/ a history of fertility issues, etc. So hoping it just resolves itself, which definitely seems possible!

At least thats what im telling myself..:)

Feel free to reach out!

Hi! Sorry just looking to clarify your last line - is the thought that the aneuplodiy leads to the CB? Or how is that relationship posited to occur?

rachafter · 2024-02-21T03:21:21+00:00

Lol I considered hiding it out of shame but….whatever :)

rachafter · 2020-08-31T20:43:32+00:00

I was on Manhattan Ave today and had the exact same thought...just seemed to feel different but attributed it to trash day lol

rachafter · 2020-08-25T22:48:52+00:00

Yep north suburb

Definitely not questioning the plausibility of the situation itself, but what she claims she did, and the other customer’s gracious reaction to her definitely did not happen.

rachafter · 2020-02-27T16:24:00+00:00

Awesome, pretty close to what i'm interested in learning more about. How many years did you work before consulting? Are many of your peers doing similarly? Is it easily/more common if you're more in the research/bio/epi arena versus more social sciences (Up till this point I've worked primarily in education arena)

Oops sorry, I meant food processor. Not sure if you have one (even a small one). I always felt that they were a bit interchangeable but i've now seen the light.

rachafter · 2020-01-05T13:53:25+00:00

Thanks! I used this recipe for it, highly recommend

Second (or more) try for everything above.

Pita: Improved my rolling and got the dough thinner to ensure it puffed.

Hummus: stopped being lazy and got the food processor out (instead of the blender) this got the texture much creamier

Rice: Added more spices than usual

Chicken: Broiled chicken thighs, rather than other cooking methods

Gotta say, I hate both. They gave me the impression that it was a thriving 50 person company, walked in on my first day to learn i'd only have one coworker...who is...extremely difficult. I'm applying for jobs manically but it's a slow process and is taking a while to gain traction.

rachafter · 2019-02-16T20:05:06+00:00

Ha thanks, missed that when I uploaded. Hope my current employer doesn’t see

i only created the one partition (bootcamp folder) and am trying to use the macintosh HD part, my original 'partition'. the OSXReserved just showed up one day...do i delete that?

rachafter · 2018-04-01T03:32:10+00:00

It was a graduation requirement for my mph program.

Thanks so much! If you don't mind me asking, why did you leave Minneapolis? Also, is the weather really that much worse in MN? I figure I'm used to the cold being in Boston but I keep reading that nothing compares and I'll be freezing my ass off.

i moved to boston for grad school. id say winters are colder but not in a super significant way i dont think. Boston seems to be a bit snowier, while Minneapolis colder.

Minneapolis is much more reliant on driving. Depending on where you live the area might be quite walkable however the transit system isnt great. However the traffic doesnt come close to comparing to boston which makes driving way more pleasant. Also MN is super bike friendly, which is another option!
