Hi Kyla

Firstly, congratulations and you are in my thoughts as I know exactly what you are going through at the moment. I am now 9 weeks pregnant and trying to live each day as it comes without thinking about anything too much. We lost our first and only child, Rhianna, last July to Type 1. All I can say at the moment is take each day as it comes and know that there are people out there thinking about you and that you're not alone.

Take care and I hope all is okay

Hi Becky

Thankyou for your reply, I do find it hard but I started bleeding 3 days ago and i have got to wait until tomorrow to see if its a miscarrage I am on edge so much.

Is there anyway if I do miscarry that they can test if this baby had SMA.

My thoughts are with you for the past, the present and the future.

I hope we can keep in touch

Speak to you soon

Kyla

Hi Kyla

How are you? Is everything okay? I hope so. I am unsure as to wether or not they can test to see if the baby is SMA or not if you miscarry. I wouldn't even know how to find out other than asking the consultant or the midwife.

It would be great to keep in touch. If you fancy chatting my home number is 0118 9761860, mobile 07717 857018.

Take care

Becky

Hi Becky

Went for an ultrasound on friday everthing seemed to be in place got to go back this friday as i will then be 8 weeks, they then should be able to see the baby and not just a sac.

I am still bleeding heavily so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it wont be bad news when I go back on Friday.

Will keep you posted anyway.

Hope all is well at your end. Have you got a date for your CVS? Is this your first pregnancy since losing your daughter?

Take Care

Kyla

Just wanted to say I hope every thing goes ok for you all. I lost my second daughter Joanna to type one sma in 1999 see her full story on this web site. Since then I have been lucky to have 2 more children free from sma but even now those weeks of waiting for cvs and even worse waiting for results are with me, the not knowing,your life feels like its on hold. Somehow just like coping with our special sma babies, we cope with the waiting, my last test result in 2003 was very quick I had cvs test on the 27 Jan and it was back by the 30 Jan that the baby was ok,and they told me there and then she was a girl, but this seems to vary my first cvs in 2000 took a week for the results.My thoughts are with you,and I hope the result is good.
