with my eldest in 2020 I got 1 in 150000 so this time when I got 1 in 5000 I was obviously concerned so asked my midwife and she said it was a new system and that was the lowest result possible nowWhat is the lowest result you can actually get for the Patau/Downs results does anyone know? Just got mine back at 1:5000. Some post on mumsnet says last year they moved to a system where that is now the lowest result you can actually get but who knows how reliable that is. Either way I feel quite happy and reassured.
Yes that’s the lowest, I got scared because that was my result and looking back on my 2 year olds his was 1 in 100,000 , but she said they update the numbers all the time and that’s why it is out of 5000 now.What is the lowest result you can actually get for the Patau/Downs results does anyone know?

Just think of the magical reason you’re doing it for! It’s not any old random selfish tripIn laws took my toddler to nursery this morning and he criedThen I got thinking about having to leave him while I'm in hospital having this baby and I couldn't stop balling. Even just thinking about it now makes me tear up
Aw I keep thinking about having to leave my 4 year old to give birth and it makes me upset too. Just remember he probably weren’t upset for long and he is in safe hands. And we’re probably just extra hormonal, you’re bringing something amazing in the world so it’s all worth it and it won’t be long until you’re reunited with your first little one. (You’ll probably also appreciate the time just 1+1 with new baby before 1st child is running rings around you and you’ve got a newborn)In laws took my toddler to nursery this morning and he criedThen I got thinking about having to leave him while I'm in hospital having this baby and I couldn't stop balling.

Hate that people think it's okay to say that, not cool, really not coolI'm so looking forward to meeting my baby and for the comments stopping about the size of my bump!!! I'm 31 weeks now and petite frame, always had a flat stomach etc, my bump is measuring on smaller side (baby girl is average though) and it's really round and neat but the amount of people commenting how huge I am!! It's like well thank you, my belly should be growing bigger as I'm in the final stages of growing a baby?!!
Then you get the 'just wait till the last few weeks you'll be huge' its like shut up please haha I have ZERO patience now I'm pregnant
PS. Can someone advise me on some good breathing techniques for labour, in for 4 out for 8 seems too hard haha
This sounds like my kinda birthI can’t remember any breathing techniques with my first, I just hammered the gas & air, it was a Saturday night and Heart FM was blasting dance music, felt like I was off my head on a night out
I did 4 in, 5 out! Gas and air made me sick so it was a lifesaver and something to focus on.I'm so looking forward to meeting my baby and for the comments stopping about the size of my bump!!!

The dance music was a good distraction tbf, he was born to Rhythm of the NightThis sounds like my kinda birth
I can’t read anything else birth related yet it makes me go funny. Keep telling myself I’ve got a few more months before I need to deal with that
I’m 35 weeks and also always been lean etc and also can’t wait for the bump comments to stop. Everyone keeps saying how small and neat my bump is and I wish they would shut up because the other week at my midwife appointment my bump was measuring small so had to scamper off to the hospital for a growth scan (even though with my GD diagnosis I have them scheduled already) and it was such an anxious time waiting for them to confirm he was okay! Like yes my bump is small but that’s got its own worries and it does stress me out a bit even though I now know he’s okayI'm so looking forward to meeting my baby and for the comments stopping about the size of my bump!!!

My toddler has been extra clingy and really fighting going to bed but other than that he's been okay. I do worry that he's lulling me into a false sense of securityMy toddler has been proper acting up the last few days, can’t decide if it’s just terrible 2’s or if they can sense something is about to majorly change pretty soon. Anyone else have that not long before giving birth?
