    News from Bella!

    Hello to you all.

    I'm drinking champagne but I've only had 2 and a half glasses. Thats not too much is it? I feel a bit drunk. It just shows how little i am used to drinking now, the fact that I am drunk after 2 and a half glasses!!!! But I had to have a drink as I have had so much pent up emotions running through me today. I'm still pregnant and I had my scan today. I have a 1 in 400 chance of it being downs syndrome. Thats ok I hope. The only slight problem is I have a hormone level which is a rather low and affects fetal growth, so have been advised to have a scan at 28wks to make sure placenta is functioning and baby growing properly. If not, it will have to be delivered early.

    I have also had a few drags of my friends cigarette. I know that i will wake up tomorrow and regret drinking and smoking. But, I am not having too much. My friend has gone now and there is no more to drink in the house. I'll be okay, I'm sure. But, i am really remembering how I felt when I drank a few months ago. Its a very false feeling. My brain is affected by this poison and I'm not sure i really like it that much. I feel a bit out of control. The devil in me is wanting to get legless but I have learnt something through these months of being with MWO.....Its just not worth it.

    Thankyou my dear friends for being there for me.

    P.S. It is obvious to me I still have a big problem with alcohol, as I have noticed reading this through that I have spent more time talking about drink than I have my precious baby. I need to avoid A at all cost. xxx

    Hi Bella,
    I'm glad all is okay, I'm sure your baby will be fine. Keep eating and drinking properly and thinking positively.
    I hope you don't have a hangover tommorrow, drink plenty of water before bed. Don't get legless you'll spend the next 6 months worrying about it if you do.
    Lots of Love to you and your bub

      Bella, glad to hear that you realize the dangers of drinking too much and are able to assert control over your situation. Like you said, if you did go on a bender you would hate yourself in the morning and be wondering for the months to come.

      So, a big contgrats on limiting your intake, and for logging on and sharing your feelings with us.

                Bella

                Is the Down's syndrome risk based on your AFP test coming out low? If so, it is very common, and often caused by being just slightly off on your due date, and therefore meaningless, so don't fret. I had that with my first pregnancy. My daughter is now 18 and just graduated 8th in her high school class.

                Just wondering.

                    Hi Bella, I hate those tests. I was so scared to get the results back. My baby girl is thriving and can you believe it that at close to 30 (then, I was 29 when I had her) you are almost high risk??? WTH?

                    You will be fine.. limit the alcohol as much as you can. I did drink when pregnant, but not really that much at all. Maybe a couple glass of red a week, that was it. And they were very small glasses. I got turned off of alcohol when I was carrying. Thank god.

                    Rub your belly..if you have a doppler put it against your belly and listen to your baby's heartbeat. I did that all the time..

                      Congratulations.

                      Lets not be hard the champagne today is understandable, but I wouldn't advise any more for a few weeks if at all.

                      Baby will be beautiful like you.
                      Love and hugs,

                      I feel as though it's all happening to someone right next to me.
                      I'm close, I can feel it, I can hear it, but it isn't really me.

                              Dear Bella,

                              Thanks for letting us know your good news! Try to find some non-alcohol treat that you crave (mine was goat cheese) so you can indulge yourself without drinking too much. This helped me limit during pregnancy.
