That is great, I love how kids minds work.

I have conversations with my almost 5 year old like that too. I don’t write them down, but I think I should next time.

I am the soon to be grandmother of a lil boy that we found out just 1 days ago might have downs, so we did the extra blood test to see and are waiting for the result it will take at least 2 weeks. We found out that the baby has a 2 vessel cord. We are scared to death that she will end up losing this baby before it is all over with. But you guys have gave me some hope and faith. And with the information that I have learned and read on here, I have a better understand on what to look for and what to do to help her though this. I had 3 pregnant myself that I had 2 vessel cord babies and 2 of them end in miscarriage after the 3 month and 1 ended in a health 8 pound 2 oucne baby boy but I did deliever 2 weeks early, cause his heart rate started to decline. I want to thank everyone for the information on this. And for the one who have lost a precious lil one my heart gos out to you. God bless all of you. And I wish all of you the bless of luck with your pregnancy. If you have any information to help me feel free to post. And I look forward to updates on here.

Hi! Beautiful report. I know it’S been a while since you posted it but it help me quite a lot. I’m having an amnio tomorrow. I’m pretty sure everything will be fine. I feel a little nervous (normally) but I’m also using yoga to be calm, relax and focus. Thanks a lot for sharing it.

Dear Krista,

I apologize for taking so long to respond to your comment. My life got away from me and I didn’t actually read it until just now.

Your story is heartbreaking. I am sad for every mom who loses a baby, especially during pregnancy, and especially when it feels like it could have been preventable. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Yours,

Julie @ the calm before the stork

I too found out my son had a sua at 22 weeks. We had monthly monitoring via a perinatologist. The baby was diagnosed as having an echogenic focus in his heart. (a small calcium deposit that he would outgrow and they said would disappear) He had an echocardiogram I believe it was called. Every check they did said he was fine, just growing on his own smaller curve and was not growth restricted. At the 22 week mark they scared us with all the fears of downs and trisomy 13 & 18. We had the maternit21 test done as we couldn’t risk the babys health by doing an amnio. Everything came back normal. I had an ultrasound on a thursday the 12th of july and was nearing 37 weeks. They told me he was extremely healthy and doing great. His heart stopped beating 4 days later in utero. He had been kicking and moving not but a few hours before. I stayed up really
Late the night before and awoke to no movement, I had to give birth to a deceased baby. There was no signs of cord compression, thrombosis or entanglement. To date we have no answers on why a baby reported to be healthy but with a sua would suddenly die. I wish I had been able to convince my dr to induce early. I had begged him at my 36 week appt to no avail and now my baby is no longer here. I also wish I had read more posts like these so I would have known that after a certain point the cord may not provide enough

This is so lovely. It is amazing how pets relate no matter how big or small.
