so I am about 20 weeks and this is my 3rd pregnancy but the experience has been like no other. I haven't even got a due date yet? an actual due date from my doctor and I'm 5 months pregnant in need of a c section as this will be my 3rd also. i had an ultra sound august 2nd and I wasn't even able to see my babe or get pictures when it was done which never happened to me before either and I didn't want to ask to be a pain but regretting it now. I did however get my baby tested for down syndrome and the blood work came back positive as well as they detected a small cpc and my doctor keeps telling me the chances are very slim, almost like he's convincing me my babe does.not have it. which to me is absolutely messing with my emotions. do I prepare do I not? I am extremely over whelmed, not to mention a single mother and the enjoyment hasn't been there at all between my horendous anxiety and 24/7;sickness this pregnancy has generally been stressful and non enjoyable. I barely Even look pregnant my belly feels like a ball of mush. I'm feeling down right depressed about this and just looking for support from other moms dealing with perhaps any of the above issues I am
Well your not alone here and I am having an eventful pregnancy myself. I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism in left lower lung in June and two weeks prior they thought I had a small stroke. Had MRI done and currently on blood thinner injections daily. I have had 4 ultrasounds since anatomy one and still they can't give me the gender. Also I changed doctors because first one total douchebag. kept insisting on that test for downsyndrome and was pushy. I didn't want to know because it would make me a total trainwreck. This will also be my third caesarean. Not single but I've been a single mom before so I know the struggle is real. Nobody's life is perfect so make the best of yours regardless of your current situation. some ppl have partners but they're like furniture collecting dust lol. Get another doctor opinion, may help ease your mind. They aren't God and make errors as well. I like second opinions and don't let other doc know you already have been told xyz.. act like it's your first time 😉
