Hi ladies. I hope everyone is doing well. I have a question about the NT/Blood test screening. I'm scheduled to get the test next week. If you have taken this test, have you received a better result then what's normal for our age or do the results usually come back high risk regardless because of our age?

Had another doctors appt to follow up on the 1/2 trace of protein in my urine 2 weeks ago well now I have 2 grams of protein and something else is showing up in my urine and I don't remember what they called it. MY BP has been good although I already take BP meds because of my lupus, I do swell some. They did blood work and I'm doing a 24 hour urine test to see if its preeclampsia or kidney problems from the lupus and pregnancy, They are sending me back to the perinatal specialist on Sept 12 and another ultra sound if there is more protein in my urine then I get to so see a kidney doctor. My doctor pretty much told me not to plan on making it to 37 weeks, I'm praying I can at least make it to 36 weeks.

kimkayb-I think I am in the same boat as you. I got pregnant so quickly when we started trying and suffered my loss at 7 weeks. Here I am many months later and nothing. Now my body decides to go haywire. No af since June 8th. I am going back to the dr tomorrow to see what is going on. I am so scared I am going the hear something I don't want to. Please keep me in your prayers and I continue to pray for each of you ladies.

First morning in a very long time that I acutally got up feeling good with energy! Maybe now I can get some house work done and get my house clean. I can really tell a huge difference in this pregancy vs my last one 3 years ago I guess aging plays a big part in it. I also think my baby turned and is now head down she feels so much lower now and its so much easier to breathe and walk.

Shellyn - just had to leave you a comment. You're never too old. I had my son when I was 38 and am about to try for number 2. I was everything you shouldn't be when I was pregnant - very over weight, older than most of my friends. They all had something go wrong and I was sweet as. I was doing 2-3 step (aerobic) classes a week and my last class was 4 days before I had my son. Go by how you feel and just try to be as healthy as you can. Best of luck.

I'm glad to see everyone checking in. Vi-chick- best to you as you are hitting the halfway mark!! Tina-maybe baby?? Kim-hoping things kick into gear soon-hang in there!! We are doing great. Emerson is already a month old & I hate how fast this newborn stage is going....just loving him like crazy!!! I do miss being PG as miserable as I was. If I had more time, patience and money we would be foolish enough to try again. I have a cousin that is 44 and my pregnancy gave her the desire to try one more time after 6 kids already. I only wish I could guarantee her a healthy baby. I will post pics on mky profile.

VICHICK-YAY, I'll have to check out your u/s picture!!!! TINA-I'm okay, just waiting for AF again!! I'm calling my dr as soon as AF shows. I want more testing done. I got pregnant last Oct and then had our loss 8wks later. I sure as heck thought I'd be pregnant by now! I am very frustrated and almost feel like it is too late for me :(

Had our 18 week u/s yesterday. Baby looks great!!! Got a little wave, and a yawn, and there's a pic up on my profile. Baby looks a lot like our son :0) DH thinks he saw a pecker haha! We're on team yellow. They won't tell you here, and we're ok with guessing till baby is born.

Kathy- sounds like you drs are on it as are you. Good luck

kathy24 - 174 days ago.
gretch- I worry alot because with my first pregancy 19 years ago I had preeclampsia and I was so swollen I ended up having my baby at 36 weeks and he was in the NIC UNIT for 5 days I had to leave the hospital without him, my second pregancy 3 years ago was great no swelling at all. I have lupus so they are concerned about the protein in my urine because it can mean my kidneys are working to hard and with lupus it can cause kidney failure so I worry becuase I dont know if its my lupus or preeclampsia showing up again.

gretch - 174 days ago.
Kathy-a few words of encouragement...I had a healthy, uncomplicated pregnancy at 46. Pregnancy was a shocker and my first. Ankles got huge over the course of a day, periodically. No worries. Eat well, get as much rest as you can. Park the anxiety. Enjoy the pregnancy. My boy is now 18 mo and a joy. Check my profile... You both will be just fine.

My hands and feel are so swollen, I'm so sick of this hot heat and ready for Fall. Last week at my appt they told me I have a trace of protein in my urine so now I have to start going to my OB appts weekely to monitor my urine except for this week my doc is on vacation, my BP has been good so hopefully the swelling is just from this heat.

Just had some great news ladies!!! Got all of our genetic disorder testing results and we're in the clear! She said, in fact, that we are at a lower risk than normal for my age. I am SO relieved, I was pretty concerned there for awhile. We are now looking forward to our 18-20 week ultrasound, between Aug 29 - Sep 13. We are on team yellow tho, although I'm pretty sure it's another boy :0) Heartbeat on Friday was 140 and sounded great. I think my placenta may have moved to the front, or the baby's turned so that his back is out. I was feeling movements good and strong till about a week and a half ago. Now, not so much. So I'm looking forward to that ultrasound. It'll put my mind at ease as to why this LO was so active and not so much anymore.

shelly, you have lots of time! I had my first at 37. I'm 17 weeks pg with number 2 and will be 39 in October. My dr. had her last at 42. But we're done after this :0) 2 is plenty for our family.

Babydusted- I'm so sorry to hear your news, my thoughts and prayers are with you!!!

Babydusted - 184 days ago.
I'm afraid I'm out...I insisted on an u/s this morning because I just haven't felt right for about a week. It confirmed my fears. Full post is on my blog, but for now, very best wishes to all of you for continued health. Hope to see you all again in a few months.

45andpreggers - 185 days ago.

Roseygirl and Asha- Congrats on your decision to try again. I will be 43 when this little boy arrives (I'm 27 weeks), and hubby and I are thinking we might try again right away. Everyone will think we're nuts!! I rarely post anymore, but so glad to see all the healthy pregnancies in here.
