Hello Everyone,

My name is Elizabeth and I am happy to report I am pregnant with my baby girl, Madeline Grace. Keep us in your prayers, as you will be in ours!

God bless,

Elizabeth

Tuesday, 11 Dec

Up to this point, we have had a nuchal translucency measurement of 4 mm, which is not very good, but after that we had our level 2 ultrasound and thank God, everything was PERFECT! That and we got to find out we have a little girl, who we have named Madeline Grace. We're expecting the results of our quad screen soon, so we're praying that goes well, too. Luck & prayers to all...

YES!!!! We got our quad screen results today and NEGATIVE for everything. Thank God. He's been so good. Looks like that original NT measurement might have been a fluke after all ;)

So I just went to the OB yesterday & found out that my odds are down to 2%!!! It `s funny, some women on here are freaking out about 1/2975 odds and I `m celebrating because mine are down to 1/50. Yay! God is good :)

About the birth

Will you keep the baby? Would never think of doing otherwise.

Natural or medicated birth? Medicated for sure... I`m no hero!
Who will be in the delivery room with you? Jim

What`s the first thing you might say to him/her? God only knows what that will be. Something profound, I hope.
Would you let someone videotape the birth? No freaking way.
Are you excited about the birth, or scared? Excited... no fear here! I `ve been through it once and the pain was not as bad as I thought it would be.. and they say the second time is easier. Here`s for hoping :)

Madeline is doing SO GREAT! She moves all the time & I even think she gets the hiccups... it `s so adorable! I love her already.

I had an ultrasound today and Madeline is exactly 30 weeks and 4 pounds! I also passed my glucose test, so that`s great too :) Only bad thing is, the cyst on my ovary has gotten to be 7 cm, so hopefully that won`t be a problem....

Hi Elizabeth, I need your advice from experience. I think your experience is probably the closest to mine as my NT results gave me a 1:4 risk. My baby's NT measurement is at 5.8mm which is extraordinarily high. I just don't get it. I am 28, both my husband and I are healthy and have no family history and my blood tests (B-hCG & PAPP-A) are both normal! Please it would help to get your experience on this. My email is at me_alwaz@yahoo.com. Thanks, Little Desperate P.

If you think it's too soon to induce telll your dr you aren't comfortable with that. By the way I like the song you put on your page "somewhere over the rainbow"..My hubby and his mom danced to it at our wedding. He cryed.
