Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

[cvd]

Yeah that's my thoughts too CVD. We are finding out in January and I keep thinking at least December will go really quick. If you've got to wait a month, it's the best month for distraction.

For sure!! January is going to be a big month for us ladies i think! Hopefully start the new year off right hehe. I am just so anxious. DH and I really feel its a girl but I just want to hear it so I can actually get excited about it!!
Glad to hear your nauseas better now! But sorry about your cold!!! Wears you right down eh. I spent about 3 days as a vegetable last week with mine lol hopefully it passes quickly!

[Atsaukina1]

mum- sorry girl hope it is one of those 1 day deals
vit c, apple cider vinegar/water gargle, soup, and rest

[dreamingpink77]

LOL. My DS3 is REALLY hairy, he has it all up his back which is strange because my DH isn't hairy and I can assure you it's not me!
I didn't get more heartburn with him though so don't panic!

My son was born almost bald, just a few fine hair and I used to have heartburn from as soon as I was 4 months. I couldn't eat anything and even water used to start heartburn. I think the baldness/hairy baby is all a myth. My mom always suffered from severe heartburn when having all us four and we were all bald :) Actually I like bald babies :)

[dreamingpink77]

Ya exactly! That's the way I'm looking at it :) I was sad at first but now I'm not. DH thinks its better to wait anyway lol good thing December is a busy month! How have you been feeling dreaming?

Well actually I think I'm starting to feel better. There are days when I say, I almost feel good today, then perhaps get some nausea in the evening. Others, like today, that I still say that I'm really tired and mostly sleepy. I think that on the whole I'm feeling so and so, but better than I was.And something I really saw a difference lately is constipation...I noticed that since stopping taking Folic Acid I'm going to the toilet more often and stools are softer, sorry tmi. I am minaging to go to toilet without taking any medicine to help. Seems that symptoms are starting to subside...Yay! I'm gonna be 13 weeks next Sunday. I think next Monday I'll tell everyone at work that I'm pregnant :)

Ou! Glad to hear things are getting better, it's nice to start having good days here and there lol! Geez that folic acid seems to be a pretty big culprit to our symptoms, I don't think I've noticed a difference since stopping it! I'm not really having that problem this pregnancy like I did my last. I eat A LOT more fruit and vegetables with this one so I think that's why! That'll be fun telling everyone! I found it nice to kinda get it off my chest, no more hiding!

[3boys]

Glad your feeling better dreaming :)

[Praying4Pink]

And by the way the ring test told me that DD was a boy. In fact all the old wives tales of pregnancy told me that DD was a boy.
.

Yeah Pearl I really don't put stock into all of that stuff. I guess it just bothered me more that SHE did put stock into it to the point of saying that I would get a boy and she would get a girl just because the test said so. The bad part is I could be one of those people who wants to get a girl and for HER to get a boy. BUT she is my friend and I honestly would be crushed if I had to tell her I was pregnant with a girl after finding out she is pregnant with a boy. She will find out first so I really do hope she gets her girl. I hope we all get our desired genders!!!

[Praying4Pink]

:) Actually I like bald babies :)
I was born with very little hair so I like bald babies too dreaming, lol.

[Praying4Pink]

Well 3boys and cvd while you ladies have a nice sane Christmas break...I will be nubsessing! :rofl: That is if I get a good nub shot in two weeks.

Anyone else having a nail growth spurt?

I'm glad you ladies are starting to feel better. I too am feeling like the nausea is subsiding. I still have my days though. I just can't wait to start feeling better all around. Poor DH hasn't been getting any these days because I am just SO tired and unwell. Oh well...as my mom always says...this too shall pass.

[3boys]

Ok ok really starting to get a little freaked out about next week now. Been looking on YouTube and I'm very good at nub guessing video's. I don't want to know yet!! I want to be in total boy denial over Christmas! What am I going to do?? I can't cancel scan because the NT scan in my opinion is important. And I can't not look at the scan, I want to see my baby. I wish I never ever ever learnt the nub theory, it ruined my pregnancy with DS3 as well as I knew straight away he was a boy. grrrrrrrr

I'm stressing myself out. Need some chocolate NOW ;)

[jennaesue]

Does anyone else have a rash? I started getting red, raised bumps all over my chest, stomach, and back on Friday and they are still there. :( I saw my OB yesterday because I was worried something was going on that could be hurting the baby, but she wasn't sure what causing it. She thinks I may be reacting to a food I ate or medication I took last week when I was sick (I only took Tylenol and Sudefed). I had bloodwork done to rule out a few other possibilities. It isn't painful or itchy, so it's not really a problem, but it freaks me out a bit. Any ideas?

[cvd]

LOL oh ladies. Sometimes I am so glad we don't get a scan at 12-14 weeks here hehehe! I'd be stressing over the nubcessing thing too, posting photos all over the internet for guesses hahaha! I'd probably drive myself NUTS

Ah sorry to hear about your rash - I hope it gets better soon!!

[sweetpea]

sorry:( do you feel a big difference between carrying twins and singles? is every prego feeling doubled??
Yes, this has already been the most difficult pregnancy I've had. Well, I should say that I've been blessed with not really any complications so far (besides one day of very light spotting, and the ruptured cyst on my ovary), and the babies have been growing great and seem to be healthy. BUT, the symptoms this time around are horrible. :( The morning sickness started right away, even before my BFP, and has been really bad. The fatigue has been much more intense than with my other pregnancies, too. But the worst part has been the headaches. I've been getting them every.single.day. for weeks now - they start in the late afternoon/early evening and go until bedtime. It's hard to get to sleep. Some have been splitting headaches, some have been throbbing headaches, and some have been full blown migraines. That fact that I get them EVERY day is making me crazy. I feel like I just can't function. I really hope some of these symptoms let up soon. I know that pregnancy is such a short period of time in the grand scheme of things, and I'm so glad the babies are doing well (which makes it all worth it), but at least *a little bit* of relief would be nice. :)

Sorry for the big, whiny, complaining post. :oops:

[sweetpea]

Oh wow, this thread moves so fast! :p I just read through 3 pages of posts, and I was just here yesterday too! ;)

cvd - I'm sorry you had to cancel your early scan, but at least the one you'll get at 18 weeks will be very accurate! :agree: Also, I noticed that you're now in the second trimester! Yay! How are you feeling? I think you're the first one in the group to reach the second tri, right?

P4P - I wouldn't put ANY stock into the string test. It's just an OWT with no actual truth to it at all. I'm sorry your friend/coworker is being annoying about it, though. :(

jennaesue - I'm sorry, I have no idea what that rash could be. It sounds annoying though! Hopefully it will disappear soon. Pregnancy skin can be so easily irritated and so sensitive. Did you recently switch laundry detergents? That could be a cause of rashy skin.

As for heartburn - I've had it pretty bad from the middle to end of my pregnancies, and I've always had bald babies. Just another OWT, I think! :)

I think there is still a couple people due before me in this group! But I am the first to post about it haha!! I am feeling pretty good, still tired! Nausea has seemed to go away finally lol crossing my fingers! And my clothes are definitely not fitting as well, I've got a good sized bump for how far along I am! My body definitely had no problem springing back to pregnant mode.
I'm sorry to hear your not feeling so well :( Hopefully it eases up soon as the second trimester is literally around the corner for you! I have been getting headaches here and there too, but definitely not as bad/frequently as you! Those babies are just taking everything so they are nice and healthy! And I agree, aside from all the sickness we are all so lucky to have no complications! I hope it stays that way!! Feel better soon!

[Atsaukina1]

sorry mama:( Are you keeping up on water intake? I know that is a big one for headaches. Maybe a lil caffiene would do you good? What does doc say you can do for them? I know it can be difficult to function especially with a migraine:( Glad babes are doing great though :)

Yes, I'm drinking lots and lots of water. I don't really drink anything besides water and milk. My doctor didn't seem concerned, but just told me to "push water as much as possible." It was hard to do that at first, because the last thing you want to do when you're nauseous is drink loads of water :sigh: but I've been doing it anyway. And my nausea has eased up a little bit since week 11, so I've really, really been pushing the water. Even at night. I literally go through 2 water bottles a night, and get up a few times during the night to pee. I'm drinking water 24/7, literally, and sometimes I feel like I'm going to float away, LOL! I think it really does help, as my headaches are MUCH worse on days that I don't drink as much, but no matter what I do, they still arrive daily. :( So annoying and so painful. I hope this symptom tapers off soon. I can't imagine 9 months of this, ugh. :sigh:

[Atsaukina1]

how about cocnut water to keep that potassium/electrolites up? I was having bad vertigo and starting drinking that and it helped. I know that's not heachaches just trying to think of something for you:)

Not actually a nail growth spurt, but they are getting stronger little by little, they were extra flaky until a few weeks ago, now it seems they are getting stronger, yay :) I so much like pretty long nails and Christmas is coming and want to paint them nicely red :)

Hope you will be feeling less tired soon sweet. Our hubbies are busy lately :wink: I'm always leaving plates and dishes for him to wash, I just can't get up of the chair when we eat dinner. I feel like a sack of potatoes :) and I'm getting extra cuddles too :)

Feeling so happy right now, it's raining and I'm listening to Christmas Carols and imagining my little one in my arms. I wish I could see his tiny face and those little lips making sucking movements :)

Sorry you're freaked out sweetie, it's understandable. I was also trying to figure out something during my last scan but honestly I couldn't see any nub and the monitor was a little far away from me. Gynae had a monitor facing himself, which I couldn't see but then he had another one showing same things of course, hanging down from the ceiling so it should be more comfortable for us mums to see but it was a little far and couldn't take a close look. I;m so obsessing about the sex of this little one too and feel so moody. Sometimes I just burst out in tears when I thing it's a boy, sometimes I smile, boq....go figure out!

[dreamingpink77]

Sorry jennaesue, no idea. Although hubby had the same thing last summer and we went to doctor and she couldn't figure out what it was though she completely excluded certain serious deseases. The rash got away without any medication within a few days and we still don't know what it was. Hope it goes soon sweet, but I think if it was something serious, dr would have realised immediately.

So sorry you're having such a hard time. Are you taking any medicine for your headaches?

Hopefully we'll also get more energy back!

Congrats prayforaboy!

Anyone else feel horrible? I'm exhausted congested feel run down like I have the flu. Ugh! I don't remember feeling like this with my boys!

I feel horrible too. I went to my first appt yesterday and was only supposed to meet with the nurse but I have been extremely short of breath even when resting and my breathing was irregular i had to see th OB. He sent me for a CT scan because they were worried about blood clots. Apparently you cannot have a CT scan when you are preg because of the contrast they use so the did another scan and would not let me leave until the OB had the results. It was a horrible emotional day. I ended up being there for almost 4 hours. They finally told me that everything looked ok but by then I was already a wreck. I go to see my regular OB on the 11th so hopefully I will know more by then. To top the whole thing off I was there alone because DH had to work and we haven't told anyone yet.

I take Tylenol once in awhile (the only medicine my doctor approves during pregnancy), but it doesn't seem to help much, if at all, so I usually just suffer through them. :(

Atsaukina did post an interesting link above with lots of info about headaches during pregnancy (thank you, Atsaukina!), and while I still don't really know why they're happening so much, the article *did* give me some good ideas on how to help relieve some of the pain. I'm going to try some of those things tonight. :agree:

[Jadis]

Grr...what's normally a 10 minute drive for me, took 3 hours today! We got snow and cars were stuck all over the place. With 2 grouchy kids trapped with me, I thought I was going to go nuts. Plus, I was forced to pee in a coffee cup!! I wish I could drink wine right now :(

[Bama Belle]

Can anyone tell me how to read an u/s pic to see which side baby implanted or do I need to ask the u/s tech? This was an abdominal u/s btw.

I don't know how to read ultrasounds but I think your tech needs to be trained in it and tell you! But hopefully I'm wrong and someone can let you know! I didn't even ask mine, he just told me left! Then as we were walking out we heard him talking to a lady about the Ramzi theory!

[Atsaukina1]

jadis-omg my worst nightmare-and how did you manuever peeing in a cup lol sorry I've had my ds's do it when there is no bathroom and they really have to go but don't know how I would get out of my pants.
sounds like the real winter weather has started make sure you have are prepared and have some blankets,snacks,water, flashlights,ect. in car jic.

[3boys]

Hi ladies, didn't post yesterday as i was out with my DH as he had a day off work, I try not to go on here too much when he's around incise he thinks I'm crazy.

Feeling a bit better about the nub thing today. Think I'm just going to go and if it's a boy and we see then we were obviously meant to know early.

Jadis... I have pee'd in a cup before. Very hard work! Sorry your journey was so bad.

Anyone using a home Doppler yet?

[cvd]

Anyone using a home Doppler yet?

Ah no!!! I'm so jealous I wish I had one! I have YET to hear this baby's heart beat. My next appt is December 10th and we will for sure be hearing it then. Drives me crazy, my last appt my doc wouldn't try cause I was only 9 weeks? Then at the ultrasound we SEEN the heart beating but didn't get to hear it. I will be 15 weeks the first time I hear it :( I heard DS at like 10 :(. Do you have one?? Did you find it easily?

[Jadis]

Ha! I just undid my seat belt, wiggled my pants down my thighs a bit, positioned the cup so it was right underneath me and let it rip.I used one hand to hoist myself up off my car seat. I worried that someone in another car would notice what I was up to, but I really had no other option. I just put the lid back on and tossed it in a public garbage can as I got closer to home.

[heidih1977]

hi ladies, those of you who have all the same sex children, how is this pregnancy going? Is it much different so far? I am trying not to obsess about this being different and meaning it might somehow be the girl I long for. I know they say pregnancy symptoms doesn't mean a certain gender but heavy morning sickness really does seem more common in girl pregnancies. I definitely have more nausea this time but not getting sick of anything. Plus I am convinced I was more exhausted with my two boys...just hope everything is alright in there. had some bleeding week 7 but doc said everything looks to be fine. Glad to hear the ms is easing up for those of you in the second trimester!!!

[Atsaukina1]

I have dd and 3 ds's and basically the same pregos,ate the same foods, carried the same way,ect. so I don't put any stock in it:)

I brought one with DS3. Yeah I have just been able to find the heartbeat myself. I tried last week but failed and worried myself silly that something was wrong. I did that last time with DS3 so should have learnt my lesson.

It is lovely being able to hear it whenever you want but in a way it causes a lot of stress for me as it can take me 15 mins to find it and in that 15 mins stress levels are through the roof.

Hope you get to hear it soon. I'm sure you will at your next appointment. It's a shame we don't live next door I could pop mine round :)

Hi Heidi,
Yes for me this pregnancy is very different. I have suffered with severe MS (Hyperemisis) which is a very first for me. Do I think it's because it's a girl???........ I would like to think so truly I would but if I'm honest with myself I feel like its just because I'm on child number four (pregnancy number five) and things get worse symptom wise for me every pregnancy.

hope you are cooking a girl in there Hun and that different symptoms is a good sign for you :)

[Atsaukina1]

I heard/read something about every minute w/ a doppler is like 20 min of ultrasound. I just use monthly w/ mw. home dopplers can be inaccurate and cause a lot more stress plus if you are not experienced there are lots of other sounds that can sound like babes heartbeat. I can see how it can be very reassuring if you have suffered a loss though big hugs

I heard/read something about every minute w/ a doppler is like 20 min of ultrasound. I just use monthly w/ mw. home dopplers can be inaccurate and cause a lot more stress plus if you are not experienced there are lots of other sounds that can sound like babes heartbeat. I can see how it can be very reassuring if you have suffered a loss though big hugs

I agree that they shouldn't be over used. I know I heard my babies heartbeat though at there is no way mine would have been 171 bpm unless I was about to have a heart attack lol. I'm very slim so it helps.

[cvd]

I brought one with DS3. Yeah I have just been able to find the heartbeat myself. I tried last week but failed and worried myself silly that something was wrong. I did that last time with DS3 so should have learnt my lesson.

It is lovely being able to hear it whenever you want but in a way it causes a lot of stress for me as it can take me 15 mins to find it and in that 15 mins stress levels are through the roof.

Hope you get to hear it soon. I'm sure you will at your next appointment. It's a shame we don't live next door I could pop mine round :)

Ah I can imagine it'd cause a little stress! Glad you found it though! I wanted to buy one but DH was really against spending the money lol! Aw and that's be so nice, I wish! I just wanna hear it once! Feels like my next appt is forever away still! If we were high risk/suffered losses before I probably would have bought one for peace of mind!

[3boys]

If your starting to get little flutters in your tummy from baby CVD then I'm sure your little bambino is just fine babe. The wait will make it all the more special to hear X

Hehe yes I guess part of me wants to check that heart rate OWT though ;) lol!! But your right it will be special. DH booked the day off work to come

[LO123]

Hi Ladies, hoping I can now join you. Got BFP last week. Due on the 4 August. Looking forward to sharing the journey with you.

[LO123]

I wanted to ask, has everyone given up coffee. I know they say you can have 200mg a day. I am trying really hard to limit it but feel I should just give it up altogether. Any ideas on what to replace it with?

Hi!! Congrats, glad to have you with us!! Prior to pregnancy I drank one or two coffees a day and also 2 diet cokes. I cut the diet coke out completely but usually still have my one coffee, some days none, I guess it depends how DS wakes up ;) lol. Other then that one coffee some days, I drink no more caffeine - lotsa water, a decaf tea every now and then but not often either! I don't seem to miss caffeine at all so I have gotten on pretty easily :) the coffee is almost a treat now hehe!

I replaced my coffee with Tylenol until the headaches from the lack of caffeine went away.

I have never given up coffee during pregnancy. I usually have 3 or 4 cups a day. :oops:

[Atsaukina1]

only caffiene I like is chocloate lol. my dh is a coffee drinker and coffee smell was prego is just too much aggg.
so bv has made it's lovey appearance. I get it every freaking time, antbx do nothing for it, it just comes right back
one reason I think ph might play a part in sway(and drank diet coke to lower)don't know how I'm supposed to keep it low or anyone when most soaps are around 8-9 and semen 7-8 and then water a 7 wth aggg. I really want to keep doing rephresh as I know that helps but scared to use while prego especially in 1st trimester. going to start my apple cider vinegar bath and back on probiotics wish me luck :( oh and I tried to take an opk just to se a smiliey face(out of hpt) and not 1 but 3 freaking test came up with that stupid error. I read the directions and I've done a million of them I know how to do it and I guess it didn't like my pee so now I'm stressing that:(

[Sunflower3]

Anyone else have awful ms without actually vomiting? What helps?

[3boys]

Hi Ladies, hoping I can now join you. Got BFP last week. Due on the 4 August. Looking forward to sharing the journey with you.

Welcome Lo :)

I still drink a couple of cups of tea a day. I know I shouldn't but I do

[Sunflower3]

I still drink coffee too.

[Pearl327]

I don't drink coffee or coke/diet coke or energy drinks. I do drink 1 mug of strong tea per day and I have no intention of giving it up.

[Bama Belle]

Big congrats LO123....it took us a while, but we got here in the end!!

[Mum23boys]

Ive switched to decaff tea and coffee and have about 6 cups a day

[Praying4Pink]

Yep over here :wave: I get dry heaves, gagging, but alas nothing. I don't know what is worse honestly. Some days it is so bad I think that I AM going to throw up after all the gagging. Oh and it is constant. 24/7. I have not found anything that really helps but I did find that sea bands took the edge off. A lot of people swear by ginger but it doesn't do a thing for me. Thankfully I am nearing the 12 week mark and I am praying to GOD that I start to feel a bit better.

You're still feeling like this?? Ah crossing fingers it gets better for you asap! Did you feel this sick with your previous pregnancy??

[hopingforsaskia]

Hey everyone!! It's taken me a while to find this thread... But I'm here! Got my bfp 2 days ago (9dpo) and I'm due August 16th! I'm thinking I need to make an appointment with my dr soon for some bloods etc. Very exciting!!

Sorry there's so many of you feeling sick! I've already started to feel icky in the mid morning and night. I was ill with ds1 and constantly queasy with ds2, but I'm praying this is as bad as it gets this time (wishful thinking??) ;) I'm still losing weight even though I've been cheating on the diet since ovulation.. And sine bfp been off it completely. I'm hoping that's also a good sign - since with both my boys I put on weight just looking at food...! :)

Do we have a master list of names and due dates?? I might get onto that if not! :)

hello and welcome to our latest new comers.

I think i have escaped really lightly on the m/s this time but really can't win either way, i would have preferred severe m/s as that means girl - i am afraid my lack of symptoms is another strong tick in the boy column for me :tissue:

unless you fancy setting up a new one - i intended to do one like beach has on the start of theirs stating due date, what gender you swayed for and what you get to keep an eye on the stats

I have a girl and have never had severe m/s only slight nausea w/ no throwing up(most I threw up was 2x w/ my last)
so you never know:)

[Praying4Pink]

You're still feeling like this?? Ah crossing fingers it gets better for you asap! Did you feel this sick with your previous pregnancy??

yes cvd unfortunately I am. I can say it is a lot better than it was. All I wanted to do way lay down after eating and I didn't want to eat because it just made the queasiness worse. At least I am not feeling AS bad after I eat. Yes I was queasy and had 24/7 nausea with my first. I don't know if this time was worse or if I just didn't feel like handling it this time around but I honestly feel like this time was a little worse than before. I am actually pretty miserable but I know it gets better!

[Praying4Pink]

A bit off topic here but anyone try the prenatal gummies yet? I just bought a bottle from Wal Mart today and I am interested to see how they taste. They have the DHA in them also. But I did read they lack the iron so I am going to have to look into it. May need an additional iron supplement. I will let you ladies know how it goes tonight when I take them.

Also, anyone else feeling crampy and pressure. I think it may just be the uterus stretching but since this is only my second child I kind of forgotten what to expect, lol.

[sweetpea]

Hi ladies! :wave: I literally only have a second to write, as I'm running out the door, but just wanted to share with you all that I had my NT scan today. Check out the link in my siggy for new nub pics (pg. 5) and let me know what you think!

[Mommyof3boys]

Anyone else have awful ms without actually vomiting? What helps?

If my stomach is empty I feel awful. I try to eat some light snacks as soon as I start feeling bad and usually that helps.

[Violet_]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it as I haven't read way back in this thread. But everyone heard the news that Kate Middleton aka, Princess Kate, is expecting. I feel sorry for her being so sick but nice to know that even royals get sick and I'm not the only one. Feeling very unwell lately. Haven't vomited yet, but so sick all day and night and crashed out without dinner at 7pm last night. Was so sick. Thank God I have a brilliant husband! I wouldn't have been able to take care of the kids at all. So glad he was there.

[Sunflower3]

Nothing is working for me today. Not snacking, ginger, crackers. Literally nothing. I constantly feel like I'm going to be sick but I don't get sick. I'm just blah.

[Violet_]

Sorry to hear that Sunflower. The only thing that has worked for me today is sipping on lemonade. I also feel better after some carbs and protein often. Other times, just fruit is all I can handle. It's truly awful this stage. Feel better soon.

[Maple]

Hi Ladies, hoping I can now join you. Got BFP last week. Due on the 4 August. Looking forward to sharing the journey with you.

Yay! So glad you got your BFP : )

You will have to get yourself a cute ticker! August is a nice month for babies in the South Hemisphere, it's nearly Spring time, pretty flowers blooming...

I was drinking 2 cups coffee per day until about 6 wks when MS kicked in strong... I hope that doesn't happen for you! I think 1 per day is acceptable anyway? I have been drinking iced coffee's occasionally, and iced chocolates (made at home with milo/vanilla ice cream)..

I had awful ms with my DS, all day, all night untill about week 16. So I definitely wouldn't rule out a girl if you don't have it.

[LO123]

Thanks for all the congrats. And the comments on coffee. I think I will just enjoy my coffee if I feel like one but not go overboard.

[Sunflower3]

Congrats LO and hopingforsaskia!

[hopingforsaskia]

Sorry you're so unwell Sunflower... I had terrible sickness with ds1, and not as bad but constant sickness with ds2 - both until about 13 weeks. I already feel "off" with this one.. not sick as such, but not great, and only in the mid morning and evenings. I still can't believe I'm pregnant....

[Mum23boys]

Morning everyone ( well here in uk its morning )
I have just had my phone booking in with the midwife and she has left me some forms at the surgery for me to collect this fternoon abut booking my booking in appointment, blood tests and scans - she said all of this will take place mid january as they are soooooo busy before xmas. Probably take me that long to fill out all the forms !!!

So now I have christmas to look forward to and then all the baby stuff in the next year :-)

[Pearl327]

Mrs_P I am here thinking that the lack of symptoms for me means another girl. M/S depends on how your body handles the hormones, nothing got to do with gender. I am still hoping for a boy and there is still every chance you have a little girl in there.


Congratulations to LO and Hopingforsaskia. Hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months.

When it was announced on the news last night about Kate and wil's pregnancy, my mum sent me a text saying that she was on a drip and if it was good enough for royalty it was good enough for me (I've been on a drip for Hyperemisis this pregnancy) ha ha ha I love my mum.

Sorry everyone is feeling so ill. Trust me I get ya, I have never been so sick in my life it is like being an involuntary bulimic. :(

[cvd]

unless you fancy setting up a new one - i intended to do one like beach has on the start of theirs stating due date, what gender you swayed for and what you get to keep an eye on the stats

Sorry Sunflower. I know how you feel honey. Crackers never worked for me either. I am usually very icky in the morning and then at night although I am also nauseous during the day. Snacking helps me momentarily...after I am finished I am right back nauseous. I hate that "I feel like I am going to be sick" but never do feeling! Uggh. Big Hugs Sunflower!!

Had my scan yesterday and all good! So excited this will be my 3rd baby.

[Mum23boys]

welcome jadey121 - congrats on your bfp . Did you sway for a particular gender ?

[Violet_]

Jadey do you have any photos of you 12 week ultrasound that you'd like to share? We might be able to make a guess at gender.

[jadey121]

Ive got two boys already so a girl would be nice! This is the best pic i have as the baby wouldnt stop wriggling!

jadey, congratuations..... I have no idea about nub shots but hoping you hear pink...

Hi everyone. Back from my NT scan and everything is fine and baby looked perfect!! I think I might have seen a boy nub but I am not sure. He really did look great though and so cute. We saw his little feet and hands and he has the most perfect head. I am in love :)

[OneLastDream]

Haven't been on for a while - been so tired and exhausted and just generally running around!!! Have lots to catch up on! Congrats on all new bfps!!! 3boys so glad baby is perfect - did you get any pics?

Yay 3boys....I'm so happy for you :) So glad little one is fine and happy to see you are so excited about this little one. It's so great to watch babies move when we don't even know what they're doing in there :) Yesterday I thought I felt a faint flutter but I think it can't be right? it's too early I suppose, it must have been my intestines :) With my ds, I felt his first movements at 16weeks.

[sweetpea]

Just wanted to pop in really quick and say CONGRATULATIONS and WHOO HOO for all the new BFP's! What great news!! ;)

Also, I'm officially in the second trimester today, yay! I'm hoping I'll start feeling a little better soon. Still had a monster of a headache last night (ugh!) but I'm hoping those will start to subside soon.

Hope everyone else is doing well! :)

With DS3 I'm sure I felt movements early and when I went for a scan at 13 weeks I asked the sonographer if it was possible and she said yes If you've had more than one. I haven't felt anything yet but it is very early and my placenta is anterior so I don't think this helps.

I will have to post pics but I'm too scared of everyone telling me it's a boy and feeling upset when I've had such a good day lol. I know with Indi (my youngest) I got 100% boy guesses on ingender and some of the comments were quite rude IMO. It totally killed my pregnancy joy for quite some time :(

Aww, 3boys...I'm so sorry you had rude comments on IG last time. What is wrong with people? Well, you know you won't get any rude comments here. I have an idea, though. If you don't want to worry about gender/nubs right now, why not blur out or cut off the nub area, and just post a pic of the baby's profile? We'd all love to see your cute baby, no matter the gender. :)

Thank you. :) I have a scan today at 7pm EST. I'm desperate to know, too! I'm seriously going crazy...

[Mum23boys]

omg Seeetpea I will be stalking !!!!! FX for you - Am so jealous of you having the blessing of twins no matter what sex they are.. xxx

[3boys]

Aww, 3boys...I'm so sorry you had rude comments on IG last time. What is wrong with people? Well, you know you won't get any rude comments here. I have an idea, though. If you don't want to worry about gender/nubs right now, why not blur out or cut off the nub area, and just post a pic of the baby's profile? We'd all love to see your cute baby, no matter the gender. :)

Oh thanks sweetpea this really made me smile :) I will post the pics on out due date thread for sure. Got to get on my laptop as I dont think I can post pics fom my ipad

[3boys]

Thank you. :) I have a scan today at 7pm EST. I'm desperate to know, too! I'm seriously going crazy...

OMG today is the day! Ahhhhh so excited for you. What time is it now where you are? I have a feeling I might be in bed then lol.

[Praying4Pink]

Just wanted to pop in really quick and say CONGRATULATIONS and WHOO HOO for all the new BFP's! What great news!! ;)

Also, I'm officially in the second trimester today, yay! I'm hoping I'll start feeling a little better soon. Still had a monster of a headache last night (ugh!) but I'm hoping those will start to subside soon.

Hope everyone else is doing well! :)

Sweetpea hope your scan goes well! May you hear pink at least once. Where are you? I am also EST and I am in Florida. I will be scan stalking you tonight. :pray:

[sweetpea]

OMG today is the day! Ahhhhh so excited for you. What time is it now where you are? I have a feeling I might be in bed then lol.
Right now, it is almost 3pm. My appt isn't until 7pm, and I'm not sure how long it's going to take...plus it's about half an hour drive from where I live, then we'll have to get the boys to bed...so unfortunately, I think this might end up being a late-night update. I'll do the best I can, though! I'm soooo nervous. Ugh, I have a pit in my stomach. I just don't know what to think...

[sweetpea]

Sweetpea hope your scan goes well! May you hear pink at least once. Where are you? I am also EST and I am in Florida. I will be scan stalking you tonight. :pray:

Thanks, P4P! I'm in New York!

:wave: Hi everyone! Phew this week has flown by super fast for me. Well I had some spotting again last night. Thankfully I had an appointment this morning anyway. Doctor's keep saying my cervix is super sensitive but mom is saying I need to give my body a break and rest. The spotting is gone except I had a pap and when she took the smear it irritated my cervix and now the spotting is bright red :worry:. I'm sure it will be fine though. Had the doppler today and baby had a hr of 154. The midwife said it may be a girl in there but I am NOT getting my hopes up.

I too feel like I might be feeling flutters but I keep saying it has to be too early. Don't know where my placenta is but I go for my NT next Wednesday so hoping I will find out AND get a nice nub shot :rofl: Oh they prescribed me Reglan for my excessive saliva problem but the side effects look kind of daunting so :shrug: So how is everyone else doing...besides scan stalking sweetpea?

sorry to hear your having spotting hun. Im sure everything is fine. Gad your ok other than that

[Praying4Pink]

sorry to hear your having spotting hun. Im sure everything is fine. Gad your ok other than that

Thanks 3boys! Yes I'm sure everything is okay also since we did hear the hb today. I know anything can happen at anytime but just praying this little baby is meant for this family and that we will have a nice healthy baby in another 195 days, lol. Love the scan pics by the way. Baby is adorable!

[Atsaukina1]

Thanks, P4P! I'm in New York!

ooh my time:)

Thanks so much. He was really cute. I don't think there is a nub in these pics?! In RL I swear I saw a boy one lol. But I think I'm getting obsessive about penis's ha ha ha ;)

195 days doesn't seem that long away :)

[Mrs_P]

Looks like i'll miss the update to :sad: my back is really bad today so i will need my bed.

(never recovered after spd with ds3 but today i was standing decking the halls and all that and i suddenly couldn't move, i keep getting stuck in various positions; hope its just a one off as it seems a little early to happen already)

[Mrs_P]

are you going team green?

[Praying4Pink]

Thanks so much. He was really cute. I don't think there is a nub in these pics?! In RL I swear I saw a boy one lol. But I think I'm getting obsessive about penis's ha ha ha ;)

195 days doesn't seem that long away :)

No it doesn't seem that long. I am sure we are ALL going to blink and our adorable bundles of joy will be in our arms. So excited! No 3boys I don't believe I saw a nub but then again I am definitely no expert in all of this. Was baby really active during the scan? I can't wait until we start feeling the babies move!

[Praying4Pink]

Thanks, P4P! I'm in New York!

Ooo the Big Apple huh? Always wanted to go there. Maybe one day when I come to NY, I will look you up and we can introduce our beautiful babies to each other :heart: Happy scanning sweetpea!

[hopingforsaskia]

That was nice! I jumped on here and saw cute babies and lots of lovely congrats!! You are all so sweet and lovely! :)

Well, I'm officially 4 weeks today, the only real symptoms I have is a very heavy/full feeling uterus and a little bit sickly here and there. My boobs are slightly bigger (but it will take a bit to get them back into condition if you know what I mean... ;) ) So yeah, not feeling very pregnant .. And I feel like the time is going at a snails pace... Draaaaaagggggg... ;) I've made a dr appointment for 8weeks (so in a month) and I'll get my bloods done etc. I wanted them to give me an appointment and draw blood next week, but they wouldn't see me before 6 weeks, and that's right over Christmas. So that's not happening! :)

Sorry to hear about our poor sick mummies... Ms is the WORST ever.. I had it bad with ds1 but not so bad with ds2 - just queasy instead of voms... Anyway, hoping to escape it this time - but I'll be lucky if I do. Instead I'm getting headaches. :( ah well.

[Pearl327]

Praying and 3boys delighted that your babies are growing happily. Cannot wait for mine next week.

I would love to go back to New York. I spent a summer working there when I was a student. But it must be fab with all the Christmas lights

Sorry to here its dragging Hun. It's worst when your ticker shows the baby to be just cells (before four weeks) I had that ticker with DS3 and remember thinking... Hurry up I want to see a prawn instead lol.

My boobs were the first to expand when I was four weeks, I went up two cup sizes it was crazy.

I'm sorry to hear about the spotting, P4P, but it sounds as though your little babe is still doing well. :agree: I think I might have felt one or both of the babies move this week, too, but it's so hard to tell for sure. I felt a couple of the "popcorn popping" type feelings, rather than flutters, and it's stopped me in my tracks. It does feel like early baby movements, but the surprising thing is, I feel them rather high up, which is weird. I keep thinking of how I felt my other two much lower down, but then again, my uterus is already up passed my belly button (which I was told is normal for twins). So, who knows!

[sweetpea]

Thanks so much. He was really cute. I don't think there is a nub in these pics?! In RL I swear I saw a boy one lol. But I think I'm getting obsessive about penis's ha ha ha ;)

Super cute baby, 3boys!! What a sweet little profile he/she has! I honestly can't even tell if there's a nub in those pics, and 12w seems a bit too early anyway. Either way, you've got a real cutie in there! :awe:

Btw, are you staying team green?

So sorry to hear about your back, MrsP. :( What is it exactly that you're suffering from? I had very bad sciatic nerve pain with both of my pregnancies, and I'm expecting the same again this time around. Is it sciatica that you suffer from?

[sweetpea]

Ooo the Big Apple huh? Always wanted to go there. Maybe one day when I come to NY, I will look you up and we can introduce our beautiful babies to each other :heart: Happy scanning sweetpea!
Haha, nope - not the Big Apple! I'm ALLL the way on the other side of the state. ;)

Quick, quick update for now.....

BOY/GIRL TWINS!!!!! Super excited!!! I'll be back with pics. :)

[sweetpea]

Here are the pics! The tech said she could see the very straight line on Baby A, indicating girl, in every position she was in. I should have paid for a DVD, but I declined in the beginning, so she didn't set up the equipment to do so. She was 100% positive Baby A was a girl though, and she looked for a long time. She said no doubt in her mind. I don't know though, after seeing these pics, should I maybe wait to announce to family and friends until our scan in January? The tech said she was 100% sure, but...I don't know, it's just too hard to believe!

Anyway, here's two pics of Baby B (BOY):
(he was being stubborn and wouldn't give us a nub shot, but the potty shot clearly shows that he's a boy! :bigsmile:)

Thanks dreaming!! Glad to hear your feeling better and feeling flutters! Such an exciting time. To feel baby I have to be laying down and NOT move lol then I can feel some subtle jabs once or twice! Hope all is well otherwise too! When do you go for a gender scan??

[heidih1977]

Big congrats sweatpea am absolutely thrilled you are getting a girl!!! wonderful news!

My next scan is in exactly two weeks time, it's not a gender scan, we don't get that here. We just go for our normal scan but then gynae would tell us gender. I really hope he'll manage to see gender. I told hubby today that if baby doesn't cooperate and he won't be able to tell us next time, we should fix another appointment for a week or so after. I really can't wait for another 4 weeks after my next scan. I think I'm feeling better at the idea of having a boy but I still need to know as soon as possible :)

[dreamingpink77]

Girls correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm not mistaken when sweetpea went for her last checkup, dr told her that heartbeat of both babies was 160, if this is correct than that means that we don't have to give much importance to heartrate as she's having boy and girl and both had same heartbeat! Mine was 160 too at approx same gestation, we'll see what's cooking in there :)

Girls correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm not mistaken when sweetpea went for her last checkup, dr told her that heartbeat of both babies was 160, if this is correct than that means that we don't have to give much importance to heartrate as she's having boy and girl and both had same heartbeat! Mine was 160 too at approx same gestation, we'll see what's cooking in there :)

You don't! It does not work. My girl's heartrate was always lower than my boys' were.

[cvd]

My next scan is in exactly two weeks time, it's not a gender scan, we don't get that here. We just go for our normal scan but then gynae would tell us gender. I really hope he'll manage to see gender. I told hubby today that if baby doesn't cooperate and he won't be able to tell us next time, we should fix another appointment for a week or so after. I really can't wait for another 4 weeks after my next scan. I think I'm feeling better at the idea of having a boy but I still need to know as soon as possible :)

That's awesome!!! I hope baby cooperates! Ugh still forever till mine haha suffering over here!

[sweetpea]

Awww, thanks girls for all the congrats and sweet messages. :) You are all so wonderful, and I'm so happy to be able to celebrate with you awesome group of ladies. I pray with all my heart that we have a lucky and blessed group who all get their DG's! :awe:

EmmyRoo, CONGRATS on the BFP!! And welcome to the group, we're so glad to have you here! ;)

Dreamingpink, I wouldn't worry one bit about heart rate indicating gender. I think it's just an OWT. I've heard of many women who this theory has been correct for, and just as many who it HASN'T. And FWIW, my babies' heart rates were both very high from the beginning (179 and 164, or something like that), and as they've grown, they've gotten a bit lower AND have kind of stabilized at around the same rate (160). Don't worry yourself over anything that's not proven. I'm still hoping and praying you've got a healthy pink bean in there! ;)

[3boys]

Yeah my heart rate was really high and Im sure I saw a boy nub yesterday! The more I think about it the more I'm convinced. Caved and booked a gender scan for Monday (the one I was talking about with DR Penman who does gender guesses based on nub). I'm nervous but would rather know for sure so I can get over it!

I will know in 3 days..... Scary scary ay girls.

Sweetpea - what are you thinking for names????

[sweetpea]

Sweetpea - what are you thinking for names????
Ha, I just said to my hubby last night, "Now we can start talking names!" :bigsmile:

I like really girly names (probably because I'm so used to picking boy names ;) ). I also, for some reason, am gravitating towards names that end in "a" or "ana" but I don't know why, I guess I just really like them. So, I've been thinking about: Eliana, Gianna (DS1 was going to be Gianna if he was a girl), Ava, Amelia, Julianna, Annalise (or perhaps spelled Annelise, or Annaliese), Liliana (or Lilliana), Claire, and Sophia. It's SO hard for me though, because I'm such a girly girl and I love so many girl names...but, I only get one shot at it because we're done having kids after these two...so I need to pick my absolute favorite girl name, and make it really count, kwim? I have a feeling I'm going to be wavering on this name for awhile. ;)

For boy names, DH and I both really love Logan. DS2 was almost Logan. That's probably our favorite boy name right now. But I also like: Noah, Owen, Elijah, Joshua, Joel, Nicholas, Jeremiah, and Zachary.

This is fun! What are the names you are all thinking about?

[Mrs_P]

So sorry to hear about your back, MrsP. :( What is it exactly that you're suffering from? I had very bad sciatic nerve pain with both of my pregnancies, and I'm expecting the same again this time around. Is it sciatica that you suffer from?

I have no idea what it actually is, its something i had with both ds2 and ds3. I fell down the stairs years ago (pre kids) and did some pretty nasty damage to my back. It was fine for years then being pregnant really irritated it. It started just before birth with ds2, about 18 weeks with ds3 but never really want away after that pregnancy. When its bad i can't move my legs in certain ways and i have a walk that could rival that bloke out of the usual suspects (my husband loves that film, but the bit a end where kevin spacey walks out of the police station really really limping, then stops and staightens up part way down the road - just like, looks really silly) Nothing too bad though its mostly just inconvenient as opposed to painful but looks like it maybe starting early this time.

[Atsaukina1]

I thought girls were more accurate around 20 weeks? isn't 12 weeks super early to tell? guess i need to read up on this nub thing lol

[jennaesue]

Yes I heard this too, I actually had a scan booked for yesterday, but we had to cancel because DH couldn't get away from work. But in the end I am partially happy about it because apparently the difference in accuracy in an early early scan and an 18-20 week scan is substantial! So I am waiting the month, feels like forever though :(

Ou I really like Eliana! I've not seen that one before! So neat you get to pick one of each!
The name we picked is Aubree (if you can't tell by my signature lol), not picking boy names!

[Praying4Pink]

Here are the pics! The tech said she could see the very straight line on Baby A, indicating girl, in every position she was in. I should have paid for a DVD, but I declined in the beginning, so she didn't set up the equipment to do so. She was 100% positive Baby A was a girl though, and she looked for a long time. She said no doubt in her mind. I don't know though, after seeing these pics, should I maybe wait to announce to family and friends until our scan in January? The tech said she was 100% sure, but...I don't know, it's just too hard to believe!

Anyway, here's two pics of Baby B (BOY):
(he was being stubborn and wouldn't give us a nub shot, but the potty shot clearly shows that he's a boy! :bigsmile:)

Sweetpea my best friends daughters name is Elianna and we call her Ellie. She was born 3 days after my son and now they are best friends too, lol. Oh and my husband Julian was named after both his grandmothers Julia and Lillian. If we had a girl the first time her name would have been Julianna. Loving all your girl names!!!! Your boy names are awesome too! Quite a few biblical names. LOVE IT!

We are looking at Josiah Landon for a boy. We just decided Joelle for a girl. Still working on middles. Firsts are daunting enough, lol.

[sweetpea]

I thought girls were more accurate around 20 weeks? isn't 12 weeks super early to tell? guess i need to read up on this nub thing lol
I wasn't 12 weeks, I was 13w4d and the babies were measuring 14w1d. From what I've read, if you can get a clear flat nub shot at 13 weeks or after, it's a very good chance of being a girl. But not only did I get a classic girl nub shot last night, the tech was able to get a really good potty shot, clearly showing the 3 lines. She was 100% confident that Baby A is a girl, and she's been doing this for 15 years and hasn't been wrong once yet. I feel pretty good about that. :)

[sweetpea]

It all depends on whether or not you have a really good tech, if the baby's in a good position, and if you're over 13 weeks. Those things make all the difference! Either way though, I am super excited for your scan - I have such a good feeling for you, cvd! Hopefully the craziness of the holiday season will make you too busy to worry about gender, and then before you know it, your scan will be here! What is the date of it again?

[sweetpea]

Glad to hear you guys like the name Eliana, that's probably my top pick right now. :agree: I love the nn Ellie, too. I love names that have significant meanings. Both of my boys' names are Hebrew names that mean "Gift of God" (that wasn't planned, I just happened to like both of their names, and they just happened to have the same meaning). Eliana is also a Hebrew name, and it means either "God has heard" or "God has answered" (I've seen both meanings for this name). Either way, it just seems so fitting because I have spent years praying for a daughter, and God has surely heard and answered my prayers. :awe:

[Praying4Pink]

I'm sorry to hear about the spotting, P4P, but it sounds as though your little babe is still doing well. :agree: I think I might have felt one or both of the babies move this week, too, but it's so hard to tell for sure. I felt a couple of the "popcorn popping" type feelings, rather than flutters, and it's stopped me in my tracks. It does feel like early baby movements, but the surprising thing is, I feel them rather high up, which is weird. I keep thinking of how I felt my other two much lower down, but then again, my uterus is already up passed my belly button (which I was told is normal for twins). So, who knows!

Thanks sweetpea! Yes babe is doing ok in there. I want to say now it is a girl because she is keeping me on my toes! Lol. I suppose as long as it stays brown/pink and there is no cramping then I shouldn't worry much. I am getting the NT done Tuesday so I will be able to see how much the little bear has grown since I last saw him/her. The popping I feel is the same as I felt with my son. I'm already convinced it is the baby, lol. Yeah yours probably is too! I think us moms know the difference between our babies and gas!!

[hopingforsaskia]

I like your names Sweetpea.. I love those older style feminine pretty names too. I actually am totally loving the name Aveline at the moment (av-el-een) but we're sticking with Saskia. :)

As for boys names... Oh my goodness.. Not getting anywhere!! We had Nash Keenan picked, but dh seems to have changed his mind and we can't agree on anything.. That's very odd for us because with both of our boys, I found the names, fell in love with them instantly, and dh loved them too. I'm hoping it's a sign that we won't need a boys name... ;) anyway. The names we have on the "list" are Reid, Shepard, Arden, Quaid and Nash is still there too. I don't "love" any of them, but I think I really like Reid the best.

Hi Ladies, Sorry I haven't been on in awhile, just super busy! I've read back a few pages and I'm all caught up :) Sweetpea-a million congrats! That's such wonderful news!

Congrats to the new BFP's, so nice to have you here. So girls, I'm reeeeeally showing! I'm starting to wonder if the psychic I saw a few months ago was right when she declared that I'd be having twins :worry:

I know! Everyday I try to tell DH let's rebook but he really just wants to wait now. He goes "Well, dear, we both know it's a girl so why do we need to pay for so many early scans?" LOL cause we are even paying for the 18 week one (I heard the guy who does the one that we get at the hospital has had many opposites so not relying on him). And thanks sweetpea! That's so nice to hear!! We have good feelings too but I just want to confirm them haha! DH doesn't get it. And our scan is January 3rd! at 10am, I'll be 18 and a half weeks. It can't come soon enough but as you said, I think the craziness will tide me over!

Jadis - when is your scan?

You had an early BFP didn't you? Maybe it's twins.. Don't want to scare you or anything, but maybe eh? However, I am 10 (!) wks today and showing. I know I'm eating every 2 hrs and that contributes, but I can't suck it in, lol. Only carrying one. I looked at myself in the reflection of the shower door today (naked) and noticed I have no waist it's straight up and down... Hmmmn. I swear I had a waist prior!

How are you doing anyway? XX

[Maple]

Hi Sweetpea!

Just curious as to how they label the babies twin 'A' or 'B'. Is twin 'A' the first to implant? Just wondering if you got your sway girl first KWIM?

Love all your names too. XX

[Jadis]

Hey Maple, my NT scan is on Dec.18th and I'll be 13 weeks. I keep trying to remind myself that only one gestational sac was seen at 5 weeks when I was hospitalized with a virus. But....twins could share a sac. I think I've just got that notion in my head, thanks to the creepy psychic, and now only a scan will be able to put it out of my mind.

By the way, I know you asked sweetpea, but I can't help but say that they name twins based on which one is located closest to the cervix. Whoever's closest to the cervix is 'twin A', it's not related to implantation or fetal measurements.

Maple, how are you feeling? I'm finally feeling better! Still a bit tired during the day, but the nausea has really eased off. I only feel a bit sick when I first wake up, once I'm fed and moving, I'm just dandy.

Hope everyone's doing well!

[3boys]

Sweetpea great names. I wanted Logan for DS1 but my surname begins bith an L also so it didn't go. much to my disappointment :(

[3boys]

Jadis they could easily miss a twin at 5 weeks :bigsmile:
Glad your ok, was wondering how you were x

[3boys]

I'm so nervous about Monday. I couldnt sleep last night and it's still 48 hours away. If its a boy I will be so sad, but I know in my heart what I saw was a pointy up nub. I've nubsessed for years now so it's not like I'm knew to it.

I'm just glad you girls won't make me feel like a failure because that's how my family will think. Things like "why did you bother going for a forth you must have known it would be a boy". :(

Oh goodness :( I can understand why you feel like that! I hope the weekend flies by and you hear pink! I really hope people don't make comments like that, that's rude. I'd instantly cry if anyone said that. Any healthy baby is a wonderful gift and never makes a failure. Just think of all the hugs and smiles, boy or girl! Things will go well Monday! I will be checking every 5 mind haha!

Hi, Maple! :wave: Yep, Jadis is right - they label the twins 'A' and 'B' according to who is closest to the cervix. :agree: Although, in my case, the babies are more side-by-side, so it's hard to tell which one is closer to the cervix, but the doctors think Baby A is slightly closer.

(((hugs))) to you, 3boys. Of course you would never, ever get insensitive comments like that from us. I know how it is to have family that say awful/insensitive things regarding gender, trust me. I've gotten rude comments from MIL and FIL (and some others) with each pregnancy. My MIL said loudly, when I was pg with DS1, in front of a large group of people, that she was "sick of boys." Gee, thanks. When we told her we were having twins, she said, "If they're two boys, you might as well kill yourself now!" Wow. I can't believe how some people just have no filter to their thoughts at all. The sad thing is, even though I'm pg with a girl this time around, I *am* still bringing another boy into this world, and I know I will be getting weird/rude/insensitive comments about the twins. Personally, I'm thrilled about BOTH of the babies in my womb, and very excited to meet both of them. But I know I will encounter annoying comments none-the-less. It's sad, but sometimes, you just can't avoid it, no matter what gender you're carrying, you know? People always find something stupid to say. :(

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you are SO not alone in this. Whether you're having a boy or girl, we are totally here for you, 100%. We all totally "get" the whole gender desire/disappointment thing, so if it's a boy and you feel the need to vent, we will be here to listen and lend a shoulder to cry on. Anything you need. And if it's a girl, you better believe we'll all be here to celebrate with you!! :)

Best of luck to you, my dear. And big (((hugs)))! I'll be thinking of you on Monday! :)

[Mrs_P]

WTF is wrong with people!!!!! 3Boys i will get that to, makes it even harder to accept this little boy when i not only have to fight my own gd but everyone elses to.

I think cvd has the right idea - cry, really really loud - shame on them and hopefully they'd feel that.

Seriously though why say those things to a hormonal pregnant woman about the precious new life she's just created - they are headed for a slap (and at least you could blame it on the hormones). I mean really if you turned around and went "i know we are so disappointed, but don't worry we have booked an appointment next week to get rid of him, i mean how dare he have a penis" they'd sure have something anti abortion to say. I think they expect you to get all embarrassed and disappointed, almost sorry for letting people down - i'm sick of trying to put a brave face on - its been 8 years of these comments and i am so happy with my boys and beam with pride for them but still its the first thing people say to me and i am sick of it, i can't take anymore

[Mrs_P]

ps sorry for the rant, it just came out

Ah, I never knew re twin A/B locations.. Although I never really considered twins much until this baby..

Glad your not too bad with MS... I seem to have some better days now, but still vomiting. Usually as soon as I get out of bed. DS2 was snuggling in bed with me this morning and I ran to the window to be sick. Later that morning I caught him pretending to be sick out his bedroom window! Lol. Hmmn.. He's only 2. I think by 12/13 wks I will feel a lot better.

My next scan is 27 Dec - I will be 12+5.. I'm nervous, but looking forward to it.
Yours is coming up soon! Very exciting. Are you hoping for a good nub shot to guess on? Do you think you might have a girl cooking in there?

ah, I go back and forth on wanting a nub shot. I'm not sure that nubsessing for a couple of months would be in my best interest. Whoever's in there is in there and I'll love them all the same.That said, my gut instinct is just screaming 'boy', maybe that's because I just can't let myself hope too much. I'm just afraid of the day when my instincts are confirmed and I have to come to grips with the fact that I'm never going to have a daughter of my own. That'll be a tough day. It must be so nice to be pregnant without a gender preference, I'm envious of people who are having their first or just genuinely don't care about gender.

By the way, it's so funny that your little man pretended to be sick out of his window! Kids are a riot! I really hope you get to feeling well soon.

So many terrible things people say! They have no right. Your MIL is just dreadful and rude Sweetpea. I'd let her have a piece of my mind! If she is so outrightly rude to you, I'd give it right back. But that's just me.

Hope you hear girl 3boys but we are here for you no matter what.

I thought my mil was bad sweet pea but that is just beyond rude and so thoughtless - it's hard to imagine she still has any family left around her xx

I have my nt scan on Wednesday - am absolutely terrified of seeing a sticky up nub. My friend due before me found out she is having a girl after 2 boys - am so so chuffed for her but in a way it's made me worry even more. I so wish that none of us had to experience these gd feelings.

I just posted my terrible attempt at a 'Girl Sway'. Needless to say, I think we are having another boy.

Onelastdream my NT is also Wednesday! I have similar feelings...certain I will see a boy nub also :-( just keep telling myself that as long as this baby is healthy then I am happy. Deep down though I am really hoping for a distinguishable girl nub, lol.

Jadis I hear ya honey! My gut is also screaming boy and there was no doubt in my mind because 1. We didn't sway, 2. We used preseed because it was taking so dang long to get pregnant and 3. I couldn't decide on ANY girl names. That was all up until this week when I found a girl name that I loved and hubby agreed right away. At that moment I began to get a little hopeful that maybe just maybe a little girl is in there after all. Heck everyone else seems to think so anyway. We will be here IF your instincts are confirmed but praying we both get a pleasant surprise.

Great sway violet - you have just as much chance as the rest of us. Doing anything different is good and i bet all the relaxing you did on your honeymoon also swayed girl for you big time.

3Boys hope your scan goes ok tomorrow, i know exactly how your feeling, part of you is dying to know, the other part wants to keep the dream going for a while. I remember it so clearly from ds3's scan but i really am glad i found out. Baby is already whatever it is going to be (despite the feelings of, maybe if i wait i'll get lucky) so why not know. Stats of a four boys are only like 9% or one in ten really so are in your favour, maybe tomorrow you will be living the dream. Either way, i hope it all goes well and you enjoy seeing your little one (girl)

Gl tomorrow 3boys!!!!

[LO123]

3boys good luck. Thinking of you.

I can't believe some MILs, mine is a bit similar. She upsets me all the time. When my SIL just found out she was having another boy, the reaction was just terrible. My SIL was upset for days.

[LO123]

Maple, that is so funny about your DS pretending to be sick. Not that you are still being sick though. I hope it stops soon.

Jadis, I agree about the nub shot. I don't think I am going to ask for one. I am not ready to know that early. Plus I just want to know for certain not a guess on their behalf. My gut is screaming boy too. It did with my DS so I am sure I will be right again.
