Tomorrow is my big appointment. I am having my ammnio to find out the baby's blood type. I am extremely nervous because if it is bad news then I won't be on CD chatting as much as I have to start the fetal blood transfusions which I believe is seven in total. It is so hard because I woke up extremely stressed this morning. I never had an ammnio done and I am scared of the pain or the possiblity of a 'miscarriage' although rare.
Smooches!

Smooches back atcha!
I had two amnios done (same day, two babies) with Manchild and Young Miss Aconite. It wasn't fun, but it didn't really hurt. I suggest having whoever is with you talk to you about something that requires your attention to follow, so you don't notice so much. No funny stories, though; you don't want to giggle as they're doing it.
So with multiples, what they do is inject a blue dye into the fluid so they can tell which sac is which (so they don't accidentally test the same one twice). We joked that Manchild was lying back that afternoon going "duuuude, look at the pretty color...." We were half expecting bad news from YMA's amnio due to some other things going on, so I can sympathize with the wait for results. It's no fun. (((X family)))
When I find myself sucked in, it's usually because I find what the poster is saying to be so blatantly offensive, oversimplified or inaccurate. Or maybe I just like to argue sometimes!
Some people are just snakes that need poking. And if there is a hell, it'll be my affinity for sticks that gets me there.
I'm guessing that someone is just "visiting" here from another forum. One that tends to draw extremists and pot stirrers. Are things getting slow over there?
I think most of us love the sticks. That's why we all get along so well. lol. We all have a more laid back attitude, so it is easier to find ways of poking with sticks.
Mrs X: Sending good vibes your way.
