Daniella - Little one is great thanks for asking...The first time I felt him move was on the 17th of October...I actually had been feeling him earlier then that just did not know that it was the baby...It was confirmed when he was kicking on an ultrasound and the tech asked if I felt that and I said yes that is was similar to what I had been feeling and she said that I had been feeling him move...Now his kicks have been a little more noticeable so it should be anytime that daddy is able to feel him as well...Is this your first?...

Hey everybody.
I had my first OB appointment today. It went well, but like others it was kind of boring. I got my cool gift bag, but it didn't have all the good samples like the last one I had.
I am also considering having the 1st trimester screening. My doctor said it has fewer false positives than the 2nd trimester screening. Anyone else have it?

I had the first trimester screening and everything was perfectly fine...It was kind of neat and of course we got to see the baby in between a 4 1/2 week window so that was my major factor to have it done...I did not care what the results were I just wanted to see the baby since I had gotten so used to the u/s at the REs office...Talk to you later....By the way I had the 2nd trimester anamoly screening done a couple weeks ago and that one was fine also...

Julie i have mixed feelings about all the screenings . I had them done with both pregnancies with my first daughter they told me she more then likely had downs they only test left to do was an amnio. I refused. I had lost 3 children prior told them the results would not change my mind. I had her at 39 weeks and she is perfectly normal the tests were wrong which i knew all along. I had the tests done with this pregnancies and all came back normal. So i dont know if i trust them or not. I look at it this way i get them for what piece of mind they give you and the chance to see the baby however no matter the results i would not change if i kept the child. Th lst time i only got the resluts due to dh. He said that we wanted to know, not because he cared but just to prepare himself if he needed to. So like i said its a preferrence thing i do them but dont trust them. Hope i was some help.

I am having the 1st trimester screening but pretty much only b/c I want to see the baby again! My OB only does u/s at 20 and 30 weeks. I really want to visit with the little one again...and my insurance covers it. The results won't effect our feeling towards this pregnancy.

The outcome of the tests would not change the fact that we want this baby, but a positive result would be devastating. Everybody wants a healthy baby and wants the best for them in their life. After hearing about so many false positives I just wonder if it's worth it if you can't really trust the results. But, having said all that I probably will have the test.

julie they will tell you the test is only a reference or a chance. It will jsut say you are higher risk for whatever they tell you if its positive its not a definite yes or no.
