-Sigh- I hate to take a break from the DDC and MDC in general, but I think it's best for my sanity. Anxiety with this pregnancy is literally killing me. Each time I read a thread about something that could possibly be bad I consult Dr. Google. (My OB is about to beat me, I think. Lol. She's certain the baby is fine; I just get overly paranoid. I mean, hey, we even heard the HB at around 10 weeks on a doppler and the OB wasn't even expecting that.) I attribute alot of this to the AFP test I had done with DD2 and receiving not only a false positive, but a very high chance/odds of having the most severe Trisomy and having to undergo a battery of unnecessary genetic testing). I REALLY wish now I had never had this test as it is making this pregnancy an emotional hell and if I conceive in the future, I believe it will affect them too. So, until after my anatomy scan at 18-20 weeks and hopefully receiving the okay, I plan on staying away. I will miss you guys.

But right now I must take care of myself and eliminate as much stress as possible. So, here's to a healthy pregnancy and baby to all of us. And I will return once I can put my mind at ease.

I myself had to take a break also for a couple of weeks up until my first appointment, so I know where you're coming from

Take care of yourself and know we will be here and ready to welcome you back when you are ready

I think that's wonderful idea.

I mean, we'll miss you around here but if you need a break to help reduce all those worries about your wee one (who I'm sure is fine & perfect!

), then I say go for it. We look forward to hearing all about your perfect anatomy scan in a few months!

Hugs, Charlize! We will be skipping the tests as we wouldn't terminate anyhow. Lots of hugs and come back to us when you feel better!

Whatever means less stress is the right thing to do. All best wishes for peaceful gestation!!
