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

[Mrs_P]

Fingers crossed for you - sending you all my blue dust x

[Jadis]

I had my first scan today too! Baby was absolutely adorable, little feet crossed, hands up by it's mouth...ah, I'm so in love. I didn't get a nub shot, but I may still post my pics for some skull theory guesses...why not, eh? It's all in good fun. I'm 13weeks pregnant but babe was measuring 13+6 which would move my EDD to June 19th-my birthday!! Wouldn't that be the coolest?

[Jadis]

Thanks for all the lovely messages girls. After a bit of fight with the nhs i finally got scanned (they didn't want to do it since i was scanned the week before, even though it was private), still not been dated though so am going by my lmp dates. So far so good, she has grown since last week and her little hear beat was beating away so although we aren't out of the woods yet, its good news for now. Just keeping my fingers crossed she carries on fighting - no idea what all of the pains were though.

Keeping my fingers crossed, of course, but glad to hear everything went well :) Mine was fab too.

[Mrs_P]

Thanks Jadis, glad all went well with your scan to. I so love my dvd of the baby moving, she is so cute i must have watched it every night at least. I'm usually to much of a mess at my scans to watch properly they always seem to go by in a blur, glad you got some good bonding time in. Did you catch sight of a nub at all ;)

[Bama Belle]

Thanks for the blue dust Mrs P, I'll send you my pink dust.

Here's a pic of spine and hinny!

Aw cute baby - post in the u/s forum and you may get some guesses x

[cvd]

I don't think I'm feeling anything. Last week I thought I felt something, I was at work and thought i felt faint flutters in my belly. But I didn't feel them anymore, so now I'm thinking it was my intestines or something, I'm not quite sure. I got first kicks from my DS at 16weeks, so I'm expecting them to start any time now. Just can't wait till I'm sure he's kicking not gas! :rofl:
Hehe I know what you mean! Sometimes I feel pressure rather then kicks, like as if she's sticking her feet out or maybe pressing her back? I still haven't felt too much movement, sometimes here and there. But as you said can't wait till I know 150% it's not just a tummy rumble or something haha!!

Yay Mrs P. Glad to hear all went well and CONGRATS ON YOUR DAUGHTER. So glad you heard pink! Very lovely!! Hehe!

[cvd]

I had my u/s today but did not get a potty shot. I had the grumpy old lady u/s tech today and she said it was to early to tell. Baby only showed his/her back side today anyway. I go for a gender scan on Jan 15. Woohoo, I can't wait!
Glad everything went well!

That's great! Happy to hear all went well!

[Bama Belle]

Mrs P just saw your u/s post, congrats on your little girl!

[Maple]

Hi ladies,

Just checking in while I get a chance - such a busy time of year!
We told pretty much all family and friends over the weekend, was fun! Although everyone had guessed as I have a very obvious bump already..
Everyone naturally said 'Oh you could have a girl this time' And then proceeded to say it didn't matter anyway.. I was surprised. However my MIL has pissed me off by telling me 'Dolls houses are such fun, I think you want a girl don't you' I said 'No, not particularly' rather rudely. Mind you own business lady!

Mrs P - congrats on your girl, lovely news indeed!

Jadis - yay for 1 healthy baby inside! Great to see the little bean huh!

Sweetpea - you poor thing, sorry you are still ill. Hope you are feeling happy and on top of it all. By the way, I too am looking more than my 11.5 wks... More like 20 wks actually. Hmmn.

Hoe everyone is happy. XX

[Jadis]

Thanks, Maple! I know how you feel about your MIL's comments. My mom made a comment in front of a room full of people this weekend that made me want to slap her. She said that my DH has put his foot down and refused to have more children even if this next one is (gasp) a boy. She made it sound like I'm a crazy woman desperate for a girl and I'd make my DH keep going till we had 9 boys. It doesn't matter that it's true-I am longing for a girl, I don't need people thinking that!! I felt like she threw me under the bus. At least when I talked to her about it the next day, she apologised and agreed that it wasn't a very nice comment.

[Jadis]

Question everyone-I realize that Ramzi's theory only applies between 6-8 weeks gestation but today I found out that my placenta is on the left side of my uterus...should I allow myself to feel good about that or is it too late to consider at all?

[EmmyRoo]

Hi everyone,
I'm struggling to catch up with this huge thread and endless Christmas prep but just wanted to say congrats for all the recent scans and :cheerteam: Mrs P! So happy you heard girl!

I'm telling my family on Friday and in laws next week and fully expecting some comments re. gender - all meant in good humour of course but it's still hard to take. I've been thinking about it for months and am seriously considering saying "yes, actually I am really hoping for a girl, as much as I want a healthy baby first and foremost I would feel completed to have the daughter I've always longed for" and then proceed to list the things ive put myself through to try to sway the odds even a few percent more in my favour and how hard it is to wait for a scan knowing not only that it very likely hasn't worked but that I then have to face people's unhelpful comments and pity!! That'd shut them up pretty quickly! :bigsmile:
Seriously though, in some ways I feel that explaining GD and talking about it openly is the only way it'll become less "taboo" but equally, the thought of being pitied is horrible. Interesting idea though?
X

[Mrs_P]

No idea sorry Jadis but i think mine was on the right?? i def had implantation cramps on the left though. I think it can move after that stage which is why its not reliable, but on the other hand its not a bad thing either!

Sorry everyone is dealing with horrible comments - we still haven't told anyone yet which is getting harder now i'm getting bigger, hate the deceit to but a wanted to be sure she was ok and b didn't want to face everyone til i was feeling ready (thinking of putting it off now as my mom will accuse me of ruining her christmas if i announce it now)

[Jadis]

Mrs.P, why would such a wonderful announcement ruin your mom's Christmas?

[Mrs_P]

She made me promise not have any more kids - in her mind three was more than enough

[Mum23boys]

Mrs p she will ecstatic when she hears its a girl !!! My mum on the other hand already has 4 grand sons and a grand daughter (my sister has 1 of each sex typically ) so she wont mind what sex this baby ( or babies ) are. wHEN I TOLD HER THEY SAW TWINS SHE NEARLY PASSED OUT !!!

[Maple]

Ouch!
I hope she gets over it real quick, for your sake.. Four gorgeous kids, who wouldn't? XX

Hi Emmy,

You sound very sensible. I get so defensive about negative boy comments, and lash out when someone pisses me off.. My heart breaks for the boys I have as they are utter darlings. It would be lovely to have another boy, although mourning the reality I might never have a daughter will be so hard.

GD is absolutely awful!

Ooh, that wasn't fair, poor you! I cringed while reading this.. People just do not think before speaking when it comes to things such as this. Its weird because if I said to my MIL I bet she wished she was not so overweight (which I never would), she would probably start crying. Yet people pass thoughtless gender comments, in front of my sons! Grr. :mad:

Breathe girl, breathe. Lol.

[Mum23boys]

Um, what?! Are you having twins Mum23? If so, that is AMAZING!!!!! Big congrats! XXX


Well i was anxious about the pregnancy after my MC in oct so was honest with the MW and she refered me for a scand an yes 2 sacs 2 bbies but only 1 heartbeat. I need to wait until Jan 4th to go back and see if the other baby has developed and if the one with the heartbeat as grown as it was only measuring 5 weeks. Going to be a tough time over xmas worrying i think.Im worried we could still come out the other end with nothing

[dreamingpink77]

I'm usually to much of a mess at my scans to watch properly they always seem to go by in a blur, glad you got some good bonding time in. Did you catch sight of a nub at all ;)

Glad everything is ok with your little baby :) I must have missed that you're having a girl....so happy for you, Congratulations! :)

Congratulations on your twins Mum23boys, I only saw this now :)

[dreamingpink77]

Came here today to say that I'm having my scan tomorrow, if I'm lucky baby will let us see his/her parts and we'll finally know the gender. Just read 3boys and spinningmadly's threads :( and I'm just so sad. Just feel miserable, this is all so unfair. We think our babies will be ok and all of a sudden they're just gone. Sorry girls, I think I'm just upsetting you :(

[Pearl327]

Good luck tomorrow with your scan dreaming. I hope you see a girlie nub.
There has been a lot of sad news on here lately, but equally there has been a lot of positive news too. The best thing we can do for our babies is to believe that everything will be ok and try not to worry

[dreamingpink77]

Thanks Pearl, I know you're right, but it's not easy though.

[Mommyof3boys]

Sounds like my mom. She told me after the first that no one really needs more than one, even though she had two. Then after the second she said that two was plenty and that no one should ever had 3. After the third she pretty much said that I would be crazy if I ever had anymore. At least your mom dotes on yours we live 10 minutes from my mom and she will go months without seeing them and not even notice and will find any excuse she can think of to get out of babysitting. I do have a sister that lives a few blocks away and she has two boys so we just help each other, I don't know what I would do if I couldn't depend on her.

[dreamingpink77]

Sorry about your mum's reaction Mummyof3boys, but glad you have your sister to help. It's so nice to have someone near :)

I know dreaming :( I feel so naive now thinking the second trimester meant were "safe". I am even more anxious for my scan just to make sure things are alright!
Good luck on your scan tomorrow! What time is it at? Can't wait to hear what they say!!!!!

[3boys]

Dreaming good luck for your scan tomorrow! :)

You guys don't mind me still hanging out on your thread do you? It's just I want to keep with you all and make sure your all ok and see what your all having and share your excitement etc.

[Mum23boys]

OI MRS - U dont even need to ask - be nice to have your support. Hope your doing ok - ive been thinking about you.x

[Jadis]

3boys, so glad you're still here :hugs:

Thanks hun :) Of course we don't mind, if you leave the thread we're gonna miss you so you def have to hang in here :)

[sweetpea]

I'm so sorry to read about the two late losses on this board. :( My heart breaks for you, mamas. 3boys, you are more than welcome to stay here with us, you're family now. :) If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know. (((big hugs))) to you, mama. :awe:

[cvd]

Oh my goodness. DH is so so mad at me lol. I found a fabulous deal on an infant car seat a loooong time ago so I picked it up! He was upset I purchased it so early but I knew we'd need it so I figured why not with the price it was? I then started looking at double strollers and as I mentioned ages ago I purchased the Britax B Ready. I spent a few hundred on this expensive stroller, it took WEEKS of convincing DH. He was and is still SO MAD that I spent that much on a stroller and in turn he was aloud to buy a new TV for our bedroom!!!! WELL ANYWAY, I just found out today, the car seat I bought ages ago is *NOT* compatible with the friggen Britax universal car seat adapter. So I now have to ATTEMPT to sell this car seat (luckily I have not taken tags or anything off, but I did take it out of the box) and purchase ANOTHER MORE expensive car seat that works with this stroller. He is literally about to shoot me I think HAHA!

[Mrs_P]

Oh hunny i'm sorry your not getting support either - i hope your sister is happy and there for you though. I'm dreading telling my mom - makes it harder that her and i are so close and she is so good to us and our boys, i feel like i've let her down but on the other hand i knew i couldn't go through life regretting not having another child or a try at a daughter

[Mrs_P]

Oh dear - at least you have the pregnancy card to play - that usually lets you get away with most things.

My hubby even told me i could have a new pram (which i needed anyway) - he seems so pleased to be getting a daughter and he wants to spoil her already - really sweet although i am a little shocked

[Sunflower3]

I just wanted to let you ladies know I lost baby A yesterday. I had a scan and although last week Baby A was measuring 5 weeks 6 days and had a hr of 134, yesterday Baby A was measuring 6 weeks 3 days but had no heartbeat.

Baby B measured 6 weeks 1 day but its heartbeat was only 44. Also have a bleed (SCH) so the dr thinks I may loss both babies.

[Sunflower3]

Thanks cvd. I just keeping praying for Baby B!

[Violet_]

So sad to hear spinning and 3 boys sad news and also what sunflower and mum23boys are going through with their twins. Uncertainty and loss is just so hard.

Things are improving a little for me. Not quite so sick everyday now. Just mostly when I am hungry and tired. My kids are pretty full on and don't let me get much rest. But I feel as though I will get through this now. I've had a girlfriend come over and help me with my housework, which really lifted my spirits. And I seem to be able to keep up a little more with it now as the sickness is easing a little but certainly still there, just not so severe.

[Mrs_P]

Oh no what awful news, we don't seem to be doing well on these boards lately, feel like every time i log on someone has some sad news :sad:

Sunflower i really hope baby b makes it (is there any chance for baby a - being that small could it just be a bad position, my son at 6 weeks had no heat beat but was fine, they just said it was too early to detect)

[Sunflower3]

Mrs p - Baby A had a heartbeat last week but not this week. The baby's heart just stopped. I think yesterday morning bc the baby grew from
Last week. My tech spent a lot of to e looking for the heartbeat, but it wasn't there.

u sure its not twins feeling that bad ?

[hopingforsaskia]

I'm so sorry for all the beautiful babies that have been lost.. :( You're all amazing and so strong..

Violet I'm sorry you're so sick.. I'm starting to get pretty green now.. Urgh.

I just clicked over 6 weeks today and it may be just in my head but I swear I feel sicker today than yesterday... :(

I still haven't seen a dr, have booked an appointment for 4th of jan, and will have a scan after that.

Sending lots of love and hugs out -- I think we all need them right now xxoo

[Jadis]

Oh my Gosh, there's been no shortage of heartbreak here recently, I'm so sorry for the losses. Sunflower, I'll be thinking of you.

[Violet_]

I'm really not sure if I have twins on board at all. I haven't had any ultrasounds yet. I kind of feel that I might. But it is possible it's just my desire and wishes coming out.

I was equally as sick with all my boys. Or close to it. I do feel this is the worse pregnancy but perhaps that is just because I am in the thick of it right now. I certainly remember some many many months of suffering and feeling like I had a terminal illness until birth with all of my babies. I guess it's just the way that my body reacts to a little person on board.

[hopingforsaskia]

Oh you poor chook... I'm feeling rubbish but I've never felt sick past 14 weeks. I hope it eases up for you at least a little soon.. I don't know what I'd do if I was still sick after the first tri. Yurgh..

If you have a scan, when will you do it?

[Violet_]

I'm not sure we can afford the $170 for a 12-13 week ultrasound. Although if I could afford it I would have it. My doctor and midwife both want me to have a dating scan as I'm pretty unsure of when I did actually ovulate. But I just don't feel comfortable before second trimester or thereabouts to have an ultrasound. Apparently the dating scan would only be accurate if it was done soon as the earlier in pregnancy it is done the more accurate. So don't think I will still be able to get a free scan if I wait until I'm comfortable to at 12-13 weeks. So unfortunately might not be until 19 weeks. Unless I go to the doctor, and ask if it appears that my uterus if higher then usual or some other reason that points to possible multiples and perhaps he will send me for an ultrasound sooner. I'm just going to play it by ear. I will have at least one ultrasound though. Really uncertain about finding out gender. As much as I know I will love another boy, I can't help but hope for a girl and think I may cry again if told boy and I don't want to cry. I think I need the hope of a girl all the way to the end. Even if it's not a big chance of a girl. I don't want to go through the last half of this pregnancy upset and hurting. I believe this pregnancy is my last chance at a daughter. 4 kids is a lot and DH wants to stop. I also can't keep putting my children through a year off being able to do anything with them while I almost die for a year. My boys want me to do active things with them and all I can do is lie or sit down and whenever I move I vomit or gag. Plus I don't think we can afford more kids and it's not fair to keep bringing children into the world that you can't afford to look after properly. So this is it for us. But that will mean that I want it to be a girl even more. Ahh, to not have a gender preference would be so nice.

[3boys]

UPDATE GIRLS! Just came back from gynae....it's a BOY! Was not easy to see and gynae said he is 90% convinced it's a boy. Little one kept on moving all the time, I think he's gonna be a naughty one! There were either his legs or the cord in the middle so he couldn't see well. He tried with a potty shot and I thought I saw his penis but gynae said that that was the cord. Then tried with a 4D and we think we saw his eggies down there, so probably boy. Gynae said don't go buy blue yet, but i'm sure it's a boy. He seems healthy and is measuring 16weeks 3days, almost a week ahead. I think I need to eat less chocolate and cakes! Don't want him to be too big for delivery :(

I already had my cry in the car, but after reading this thread, I'm trying to be positive and think how lucky I am that the baby is healthy, but it is not easy to admit that I'lll never gonna have my lovely girl. This is the last one for us, so bye bye girlie :( My son is going to be very happy though, he really wanted a boy, so at least that's a plus! I'm waiting for him to come from school and he finished early today cause they had the Christmas party.

Please say a little prayer for me so that I learn to accept this little one soon, I feel so guilty for wanting him to be a girl :(

[Butterfly Spirit]

:HH: again to you Dreaming, Congrats on the healthy blue bean! I promise you it will be okay! And hey, one day if you guys change your minds and have another baby, your DD will have one more big brother to protect her! ;) Respond to my pm, I'm anxious to send you something!

Aww Dreaming, 2 boys are so special together. The relationship that my boys have with eachother is really beautiful, I'm not entirely sure my eldest could've had this bond with anyone else but DS2. Congrats and enjoy your boys!

[Pearl327]

Dreaming congratulations on your healthy blue bean. If I was only having 2 then I think I would prefer the same gender for the bond between the two brothers or sisters.

[kelseypie601]

So we went for a visit yesterday and the Dr. performed an inpromptu scan. Baby is well, we were able to see everything BUT the sex because his/her legs were clamped shut. We are going to try again January 22nd. I so wanted to be able to tell everyone the sex for Christmas...

Oh dear - at least you have the pregnancy card to play - that usually lets you get away with most things.

My hubby even told me i could have a new pram (which i needed anyway) - he seems so pleased to be getting a daughter and he wants to spoil her already - really sweet although i am a little shocked
Haha yes by the time he came home from work he was over it, thank goodness! Aw that's so sweet! I'm sure she is definitely going to get spoiled :)

[Bama Belle]

Dreaming - sorry that you didn't hear pink but at least he is healthy.

Kels - sorry you didn't get to see a potty shot.

[3boys]

UPDATE GIRLS! Just came back from gynae....it's a BOY! Was not easy to see and gynae said he is 90% convinced it's a boy. Little one kept on moving all the time, I think he's gonna be a naughty one! There were either his legs or the cord in the middle so he couldn't see well. He tried with a potty shot and I thought I saw his penis but gynae said that that was the cord. Then tried with a 4D and we think we saw his eggies down there, so probably boy. Gynae said don't go buy blue yet, but i'm sure it's a boy. He seems healthy and is measuring 16weeks 3days, almost a week ahead. I think I need to eat less chocolate and cakes! Don't want him to be too big for delivery :(

I already had my cry in the car, but after reading this thread, I'm trying to be positive and think how lucky I am that the baby is healthy, but it is not easy to admit that I'lll never gonna have my lovely girl. This is the last one for us, so bye bye girlie :( My son is going to be very happy though, he really wanted a boy, so at least that's a plus! I'm waiting for him to come from school and he finished early today cause they had the Christmas party.

Please say a little prayer for me so that I learn to accept this little one soon, I feel so guilty for wanting him to be a girl :(

Sorry you didn't hear pink Dreaming but I am so very pleased that your little one is healthy. Give yourself some time and don't be too hard on yourself if you have a little cry. A loss of a dream is tough no matter what. Sending my love x

[Mum23boys]

I'm not sure we can afford the $170 for a 12-13 week ultrasound. Although if I could afford it I would have it. My doctor and midwife both want me to have a dating scan as I'm pretty unsure of when I did actually ovulate. But I just don't feel comfortable before second trimester or thereabouts to have an ultrasound. Apparently the dating scan would only be accurate if it was done soon as the earlier in pregnancy it is done the more accurate. So don't think I will still be able to get a free scan if I wait until I'm comfortable to at 12-13 weeks. So unfortunately might not be until 19 weeks. Unless I go to the doctor, and ask if it appears that my uterus if higher then usual or some other reason that points to possible multiples and perhaps he will send me for an ultrasound sooner. I'm just going to play it by ear. I will have at least one ultrasound though. Really uncertain about finding out gender. As much as I know I will love another boy, I can't help but hope for a girl and think I may cry again if told boy and I don't want to cry. I think I need the hope of a girl all the way to the end. Even if it's not a big chance of a girl. I don't want to go through the last half of this pregnancy upset and hurting. I believe this pregnancy is my last chance at a daughter. 4 kids is a lot and DH wants to stop. I also can't keep putting my children through a year off being able to do anything with them while I almost die for a year. My boys want me to do active things with them and all I can do is lie or sit down and whenever I move I vomit or gag. Plus I don't think we can afford more kids and it's not fair to keep bringing children into the world that you can't afford to look after properly. So this is it for us. But that will mean that I want it to be a girl even more. Ahh, to not have a gender preference would be so nice.


I could have written this myself - we will not be finding out the sex either as i want thta little bit of hope right until the end plus a friend had a baby last week and was told at 16 weeks and 20 weeks it was a girl and she called me from hospital to say there was a mix up and she is coming home with a boy can i try and change some of her stuff for her before they get back !! Made me realise even more that it can still be wrong !!

[dreamingpink77]

Congrats dreaming! I know you will love your little boy to pieces. Plus it's so nice to have brothers to have each other and be best friends! Congrats again Hun!!! xxxx

Thanks sweetie, so kind of you. How are you doing?

[dreamingpink77]

Dreaming I am so glad to hear all went well and baby was healthy. Congrats to you! What did your son say when you told him??


He was very happy :) He was convinced as much as I was that it was a boy, so it was just a confirmation for him too. We went christmas shopping and I was tempted to buy something but didn't get anything yet.

[Mum23boys]

Oh dreaming - am sorry you didnt hear girl but brothers are amazing - if this is your last baby its probably a blessing as boys can be so much closer than a brother and sister - they will grow up together and be able to go off and do stuff together that maybe a brother and sister couldnt do. BUT REMEMBER - There is still a chance she pops out a she :-)

[dreamingpink77]

Sorry you didn't hear pink Dreaming but I am so very pleased that your little one is healthy. Give yourself some time and don't be too hard on yourself if you have a little cry. A loss of a dream is tough no matter what. Sending my love x

Thanks 3boys, I feel so selfish to beel down when you ladies have just lost your little one :( How are you feeling now? I know it's too early, but are you starting to accept it yet?

Thank you Jadis :) I know they're gonna be great pals especially when they grow up. My son will be much older than this little one but I see how he gets along well with his little cousins, so I'm quite sure he'll care for his little brother so much :)

[Jadis]

Dreaming, there's almost 9 years between my brother and I. While we don't have much in common at the moment (he's a wild university student and I'm a married, mortgaged, soon-to-be mother of 3), we've always been close. I'm fiercely protective of him and he knows it. He may go 2 weeks without calling me but when he needs an ear or a shoulder to lean on, I'm #1 on his speed dial. The age difference can be magical, congrats again.

[Mommyof3boys]

Made me realise even more that it can still be wrong !!

I think that would be even harder for me then just finding out that it is a boy at birth. I am also going green we did for the other 3 and I wouldn't dream of doing it any other way.

[Sunflower3]

Thanks sweetie, so kind of you. How are you doing?

I'm ok. Praying baby b is growing while I still have severe ms and exhaustion. Hoping these are good signs. xxx

[3boys]

I'm ok. Praying baby b is growing while I still have severe ms and exhaustion. Hoping these are good signs. xxx

Sounds hopeful Sunflower. My sickness stopped when baby died and I had severe MS until then so this was unlikely due to starting the second trimester (like I thought) x

[Maple]

Dreaming - congrats on your healthy baby boy : )
Two boys is very cool, I wouldn't have it any other way! Same gender siblings are great, honest!
Hope you don't get too down about it all. He will be a perfect bundle and something to look forward to indeed! Hugs XX

[Violet_]

Congratulations Dreaming on your little boy. I'm sure he will be so adored. Take your time to come to terms. xx

Glad to see that everyone else seems to be doing well.

Crossing fingers for you Sunflower that baby B holds on. Great news about the MS and fatigue (usually I'd feel sorry for you but it's meant to be a good sign for a healthy and strong baby).

[cvd]

Oh goodness I am like in official count down mode - TWELVE DAYS! I literally can't wait, I am SOO excited for this ultrasound. We have a snowman Christmas countdown thing that hangs on a door, since its so close to Christmas, I'm thinking about now using it to count down till January 3rd haha! Hope the holidays help time fly, right now it's slowly creeping!

[cvd]

3boys how are you doing these days?? Is the holiday craziness helping at all? :( thinking of you!!

I'm ok. Praying baby b is growing while I still have severe ms and exhaustion. Hoping these are good signs. xxx

When's your next scan?? I will be checking for updates. I have a feeling baby b is going to be perfect when you see next.

[Sunflower3]

When's your next scan?? I will be checking for updates. I have a feeling baby b is going to be perfect when you see next.

Oh thanks cvd. I really hope so. I hate this waiting game especially during Christmas.
My next scan is December 27th. Thank you for thinking of me.

Oh thanks cvd. I really hope so. I hate this waiting game especially during Christmas.

I can imagine :( ill be definitely checking in!!

[LO123]

Hi Ladies, I am just trying to catch up after not being in for awhile. Have been suffering terrible MS and really not doing much at all. I am definitely not complaining though after reading what so many ladeis are going through.

Sunflower, how are you? I hope you hear good news on the 27th, I will be thinking of you. So hard especially at this time.

I am so sorry to the ladies you have experienced losses, my heart goes out to you. Hugs at this time.

I hope everyone is doing well and taking care of themselves.

[OneLastDream]

Hi has anyone heard from 3boys? If you're reading - hope you are doing as ok as can be.

Mum23boys - good luck tomorrow with your scan

Sunflower - thinking of you and hope you get lovely good news on 27th

Anyone else with a scan tomorrow good luck and new bfps congrats. Sorry been knee deep in wrapping and still really tired so haven't been posting much. Also ds3 is going through a 'I won't go to sleep without mummy or daddy' time and I am not good at controlled crying although I do need to do something soonish I think!!!

[Mum23boys]

Morning ladies - how is everyone today ?

Ive got my private scan in an hour and to say im scared is an understatement - i have come on here for distraction only to find the board really quiet !! I should be back by 12-1pm ( its now 10.30am) so I will come back and let you know how I got on.... Good or Bad.

xx

[dreamingpink77]

3boys, I hope you are ok. If I'm not mistaken you had to go to hospital on Saturday right? How are things going? Hope you will be ok soon dear.

[dreamingpink77]

Just wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL LADIES! Hope you will spend a peaceful, beautiful day with your loved ones. I won't probably have time to come over here tomorrow so I'm sending my best wishes to you all now.

3boys, I know you will probably not spend a very happy christmas and I'm so sorry for that, wish I could change things for you hun. You'll be in my thoughts. xxx

[Bama Belle]

Mum23boys - how did the scan go today?

[Mum23boys]

Mum23boys - how did the scan go today?

STRANGE !!! The baby with a heartbeat has sadly stopped growing at 3.6mm and its heartbeat stopped but the under developed embryo is now 13.8mm and has a heartbeat so they kind of swapped roles. Im gutted we lost 1 of them but am also glad we have 1 rather than nothing which is how it could have come out if this one hadnt fought to make it.
I think ill still worry until 12 weeks but the tech seemed to think everything would be ok and that by 12 weeks the other twin will have just dissapeard all together - another reason im glad i went as its the only photo ill have showing that they were infact twins. I have reallys uffered with GD but as soon as i saw 1 had died i instantly thought - I bet its the girl!! I felt awful afterwards for thinking it but i was sure they were boy girl twins and i just thin k now we will have our 4th boy but hey im trying not to think about it as there have been so many sad stories on here lately that im just so thankful we have 1 baby full stop regardless of its sex.
Thank you for asking

[Bama Belle]

So happy you have one healthy bean. And now you have a nice photo to show your LO later in life. Try not to worry about gender just yet. (I know, easier said than done.)

[cvd]

Is everyone getting excited for Christmas? What do you ladies do Christmas Eve?
This evening we will put a Christmas movie on and eat finger foods, like meatballs, shrimp etc.

10 DAYS TILL MY ULTRASOUND! Next Thursday isn't coming fast enough lol

Well I've had a rough 24 hours. Spent almost all Christmas Day vomiting. And it wasn't anything I've eaten as I only tried sipping water and eating fruit and light/plain foods. No traditional Christmas foods this year. I ended up getting Hubby to take me to hospital last night as I couldn't keep water down, had a massive headache, blurred vision, dehydrated and very weak. Also had blood coming up with my vomit, most likely burst capillaries from the violent vomiting and stomach wrenching. Well they gave me a Zophran wafer I think it's called and it helped right away and some hydrolite icepops were able to keep down after taking it. So after that got sorted I was able to leave and came home and had a much needed rest. Had another sleep with DS3 this afternoon so feeling a little better.

Violet, you poor thing. So pleased your feeling better. What a way to spend Christmas day. Take care...

[Mbmk]

Violet - you poor thing that sounds awful :( Hope you can get some more rest soon xx

Mum23boys - I'm so glad you had a healthy bub in there. I'm sorry the other little one didn't make it :(

Babycakestor - is that a transvaginal ultrasound? It looks alot like mine and according to Ramzi our little ones being on that side of the picture means girl! :) Apparently 97% but I'll believe that when I see it ;)

Babycvd - Your scan is so close! I'm certain you have a little girl in there! x

Hoep everyone had a Merry Christmas xxx

[sweetpea]

Hi, everyone! :wave: I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas! We definitely did. It was very busy, and I was getting over being sick, but it was still very nice. I love spending this time of year with family, it's always so special. :) Santa was so good to the kids (a little too good ;) ) and he was definitely good to hubby and me, too! :)

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much on here lately. I try to keep up, but after being so sick with nausea and unbearable daily headaches in the first trimester, I was hoping I'd be able to start chatting more often. It didn't work out that way though, as I came down with bacterial bronchitis right as I started the second trimester. I can't remember the last time I was this sick, it was terrible, and couldn't have come at a worse time (the week before Christmas, ugh). I'm finally starting to feel a bit better now, but it was only after I finally broke down and called my OB and they gave me a prescription for an antibiotic to get rid of all the green stuff I was hacking up (sorry, so gross and TMI). Ugh, it's been a rough few months, but I really hope the worst is over now. I hope everyone else is staying healthy!!

[sweetpea]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that we had another scan at 16 weeks exactly, and it was confirmed that we're having boy/girl twins. We announced to family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We put one pink and one blue balloon in a box, wrapped it, and had someone in the family open it and then just let everyone figure it out. It was so funny to watch them realize what we were trying to tell them. My MIL went absolutely nuts - I have the funniest video of her screaming with excitement, LOL. Of course, my FIL just *had* to make another stupid comment, when he said to me: "Well, at least I got half of what I wanted. I was really hoping for two girls." :rolleyes:

[Mommyof3boys]

Mrs_P did you tell your family over the holiday? If you did how did it go. I am still waiting but I don't think we will be able to wait much longer.

[1wish]

Hi there, we are due 28th July. So excited it is our 3rd. We have 2 boys. We are from australia and recently went over to california did one cycle with Dr Potter for gender selection and are now pregnant with a girl. Just had second scan today at 9 weeks 4 days. So relieved to know she is doing well. Look forward now to joining in on pregnancy forums and discussions after finishing this high tech journey xx

[sweetpea]

Welcome, 1wish! Congrats on your healthy pink bean! :)

[Maple]

Hi ladies,

Merry Christmas to all!

Well I had my 2nd u/s today.... TWINS! Identical too... I was shocked, as I had a scan at 6 wk 3 days and it revealed only 1... They missed the other baby?! I cried and laughed, was pretty hysterical really. The thought of the possibility of 4 boys scares me...Eek.
Will post some pics when possible, don't think there is a good nub shot though. There is a rounded bump on one twins area, so perhaps boys?

Hope everyone is enjoying the festive season, love to all XX

How exciting Maple!! That is kind of crazy that they didn't pick up the other baby on US at 6 wks. Did you have any idea that you might be having twins? I really hope you get two little twin girls!!

[3boys]

Omg maple how exciting congratulations!!

Welcome 1wish :)

[Mum23boys]

Congrats Maple how exciting

[hopingforsaskia]

Violet - sorry you've had a rough time!! Glad you got some relief though xx

Sweetpea.. That's really cute. Must've been really fun to watch. :) ignore FIL... *roll eyes*

Maple!!! Omg!!! That's insane! How many twins have we got (had :( ) in this thread?!?! Wowee! Congrats. Hope it's girls for you!!! :)

1wish, congrats on your pregnancy! :) welcome to the due date forums. :)

I've been a bit sick last few days (nothing like some of you have been going through...) and have over indulged a little. Back on the horse over the weekend. Not going to get fatty boombah this pregnancy!!! 7 weeks tomorrow! :)

[Mum23boys]

Does seem to be lots of twins doesnt there ? Sadly I wont be one carrying them any longer but wish everyone else happy and healthy pregnancies. Just so sad today - sorry girls :-(

Wow! Huge congrats! How are you feeling??

[Atsaukina1]

maple- wow congrats!! does seem like there are a lot of twins on here huh? weird :)

mum- so sorry I can't imagine. I remember you saying the vanishing twin was something like 80% but really how could they know as most people don't get early scans so would never even know- I know I would be hurt as a baby is a baby at conception in my eyes- hugs

sweetpea- what an awesome way to tell the fam. and yeah fil is a smuck lol

1wish- congrats and wow lucky you not having to wait around like the rest of us waiting to see what your having. congrats on the baby girl:)

[Sunflower3]

I lost both babies. I'm so sad. D&C scheduled for tomorrow. I'm numb.

[cvd]

Omg sunflower. We are having terrible luck on here. We are a here when you need to talk. So so sorry you are going through this :(

[sweetpea]

Maple! How exciting!! Oh, I am so happy for you! I can't believe they missed the twin on the first scan! What a shock that must have been, LOL! :giggle: How are you feeling? Has this pregnancy been any more tough than your other ones? Did you suspect there might be two in there? Big congrats to you! ;)

Mum - I'm so sorry about your vanishing twin. :( And I know this is easier said than done, but try to stay happy and strong and positive for the little babe that *did* make it. Like others have said, girls are a bit stronger and don't miscarry as often as boys do, so perhaps you've got a little pink bean in there? I :pray: that everything goes smoothly for you here on out. When is your next scan?

HopingforSaskia - (I hope I spelled your username right, I'm going off memory, sorry!) - I'm so sorry to hear that you've been so sick. :( Trust me, we all know the feeling. I hope it doesn't last long for you, and the second trimester brings you relief. It's so weird how the sickness feels never-ending while you're actually going through it, but then it seems like just a tiny blip of time once you look back on it. I hope it's that way for you, and that you're not sick the entire pregnancy.

I hope everyone else is doing well. So, what is the total of ladies here that know what they're having...and how many more have yet to find out? This group is getting pretty big! I can't keep track of it all. :p

[sweetpea]

I lost both babies. I'm so sad. D&C scheduled for tomorrow. I'm numb.

Oh no. :( Oh, Sunflower, I am so very sorry. I don't even know what to say. Big hugs to you, mama. We're here for you whenever and however you need us. :(

[Bama Belle]

So sorry sunflower.

Hi hun thanks for your words - next scan is 4th Jan at epu as they dont know i had the private scan then my 12 week scan on Jan 22nd just keeping everything crossed realy and as mad as it is ive been wishing taht somehow we'd see both of them again that miracles would happen and the other baby would miraculously come back to life - i know it wont happen hence its so mad but i dont think im fully ready yet to admit its over - perhaps once the sac etc dissapears and i stop seeing them both on a screen.

[OneLastDream]

Sunflower I am so so sorry.

Maple congrats

Mum23 I would be thinking that too - they may have missed it couldn't they???

1wish welcome

[Mum23boys]

Mum23 I would be thinking that too - they may have missed it couldn't they???

Afraid not as baby was only measuring 3.6mm while the one with hb was measuring 13.8mm. At the first scan it was the othewr way around - they both measured 5 weeks old and only 1 had a heartbeat but sadly its that one that passed away at about 6 weeks but the other developed and is now measuring 7+5 so with such a big difference there is no hope

[Mrs_P]

Mrs_P did you tell your family over the holiday? If you did how did it go. I am still waiting but I don't think we will be able to wait much longer.

No still not told anyone yet, suppose i best had soon.

[Mrs_P]

Such a lot of sad news on this thread, sunflower i am so sad you lost both of the babies

Maple, congrats on your twins, we seem to have a lot twins on here lately

[cvd]

SO! I was originally going for my ultrasound next Thursday, a week today, but DH got asked to work and won't make it so I called to see if they could fit us in while he is still on Christmas holidays so I am now going for my ultrasound TOMORROW at 11am!!!1 It is almost 3pm here now so it's super duper close!!! I just want to go to sleep so it can be the morning lol.
I will be updating you ladies asap. We are doing a "gender reveal" photo shoot for this pregnancy so other then DH, I will have no one to celebrate with! Hehe! We have told a few people we were going for an ultrasound in the beginning of January but we aren't telling anyone we are even going tomorrow at all. SO EXCITED. Fingers crossed SHES cooperative ;) lol

[mummyof3boys]

Hi I am due aug 22nd
Read a few of the posts do sorry to all the ladies going through a hard time,
I had vanishing twin with my 2nd son he was absolutely fine after it
And as you can see 2 m/c
I am still so scared about this one
Over the moon but just want it to be further along

[hopingforsaskia]

Sunflower, I am so incredibly sorry. One loss is huge, two is horrific. I'm just so sorry. :( xx

Mum23.. I hate that one of your babies didn't make it. It just isn't fair that we have lost so many of these little miracles. Sending lots of love. xx

Cvd that is really very exciting! Can't wait for the reveal! :)

Thank you sweetpea. Yes it does feel eternal .. Urgh. Once it's over I will be just soooo happy... :) bring on tri-2!

[Mommyof3boys]

No still not told anyone yet, suppose i best had soon. Its one of those things that the longer i leave it the longer the harder it will be to tell as my mom especially will be annoyed i have kept it from here but i know she will be unhappy anyway so kinda wanted to wait til i knew the baby was safe ish

I know EXACTLY how you feel. At least you get to tell everyone you are having a girl that should help add some excitement.

[sweetpea]

Fingers crossed SHES cooperative ;) lol
Oh, how very exciting!!! I can't wait to hear your news!! I'm really hoping you'll hear pink!! ;)

[sweetpea]

mummyof3boys - Welcome to the group! Congrats on your little bean! Wow, I can't believe that we're so close to September due dates already!

[Violet_]

So sorry Sunflower. Very sad honey. I hope you will be okay. Must be very hard to go from two babies to losing them both. Big hugs.

[cvd]

Oh, how very exciting!!! I can't wait to hear your news!! I'm really hoping you'll hear pink!! ;)
Thank you!! I hope so too :) hehe!

[Jadis]

[Bama Belle]

Cvd - I will be stalking tomorrow to hear your good news!

[LO123]

I lost both babies. I'm so sad. D&C scheduled for tomorrow. I'm numb.

I am so sorry Sunflower. That is just terrible news. Thinking of you.

[LO123]

cvd, good luck for your scan. FX for you. Will be waiting to hear tomorrow.

Sweatpea, love how you told the family. That is great.

HopingforSaskia, MS is the worst, hoping it doesn't last too long for you.

Mum23, I hope you are doing OK. Thinking of you.

Maple, congrats again, I am so excited for you.

Congrats to the new ladies..

[OneLastDream]

Good luck cvd hope you hear pink

[Mum23boys]

Good luck cvd hunny

[heidih1977]

So so sorry to hear your awful news sunflower....thinking of you.

Huge congrats Maple...wow!

Best of luck with the scan cvd! Fingers crossed for your little girl!!!!

[cvd]

Thank you ladies xo! 2 and a half hours left. We are just getting ready then bringing DS over to my MILs for the day. Baby is the most active ever this morning!! Ill update soon!

[lime]

Good luck CVD!!!!!!

[Mum23boys]

oh my god im so nervous for you - i so hope you hear girl

[EmmyRoo]

Sunflower I'm so very sorry.

Maple, congrats! What a shocker after only one at the first scan!

Mum23 I'm sorry you lost one twin, how horrible.

Hoping, sorry you're feeling crap, I'm 2 days behind you and had occasional nausea the last few days but nothing major. Given the awful news on here lately I kind of almost want to feel sick to know things are ok.

I can't remember all the news but I send my best to you all!

CVD I cannot WAIT to find out if Aubree's in there! :fx:

Merry Christmas everyone (bit belated :bigsmile:) I hope 2013 brings us all our dreams.

X

[Bama Belle]

Cvd - I hope you are seeing your little girl right now!

[cvd]

Well. It's 100% a boy. I felt sure it was a girl. I'm ecstatic all is well. But having a bit of a hard time, I felt terrible because I cried during the ultrasound but I pretended it was happy tears. He was incredibly cute but I am for sure not trying for a third now. DH will be getting a vasectomy - so ill never get to buy sparkles and pink but I'm sure ill be ok with it soon. He was soso cute and I love him. Going for some retail therapy now. Hope everyone has a fab day xo.

[atomic sagebrush]

Oh CVD I'm so bummed to hear that. Is there any way to postpone the vasectomy to make sure that you're totally sure??

[Mum23boys]

Oh hunny im so sorry but you know what Brothers are great - Ryder will have a best friend under the same roof. I really think boys do have a special bond but Im sorry you will never get your dream.

[BabyCakesTor]

Violet - you poor thing that sounds awful :( Hope you can get some more rest soon xx

Mum23boys - I'm so glad you had a healthy bub in there. I'm sorry the other little one didn't make it :(

Babycakestor - is that a transvaginal ultrasound? It looks alot like mine and according to Ramzi our little ones being on that side of the picture means girl! :) Apparently 97% but I'll believe that when I see it ;)

Babycvd - Your scan is so close! I'm certain you have a little girl in there! x

Hoep everyone had a Merry Christmas xxx

No it wasn't Transvag. It is definitely more on the left side. I had o pains on the left when we dtd and usually they're on the right. I don't know if its truly intuition or wishful thinking but I do get the feeling this is a girl. We will see! I think I am going to do a private scan alone around 14 weeks. I don't want to keep my hopes up too long. Fingers X

[cvd]

Oh CVD I'm so bummed to hear that. Is there any way to postpone the vasectomy to make sure that you're totally sure??

Well we both agreed on it for after this baby. So we are going to wait a bit after he's born but its doubtful!

[BabyCakesTor]

Congratulations on your adorable baby, BabyCakesTor.

Thank you Violet!

[Sunflower3]

Hi ladies! Just got out of my procedure. In ok physically but emotionally I'm sad! :(. I just find peace knowing my two angels are together watching over their brothers!
Cvd I am sorry you didn't hear girl but two boys are amazing together. My DS 1 and DS 2 are best friends and watching their relationship is amazing.

Congrats to all the new BFP's and maple on your twins.

Mum - glad you have one healthy baby cooking! Fx it's your girl!!!

[Maple]

Thanks so much ladies! Apologies I am on holiday for a week, so can't check in often. I am not sleeping well with so much going on in my head..

Mum23 - so so sorry to hear your sad update. You are having a real tough time. Big hugs XX

Sunflower - oh no! I'm sorry, I bet it's hard. So sad to hear this. Big hugs to you, look after yourself XX

Cvd - Your boy will be perfect, sorry you didn't hear girl, take time to absorb it. Hope DH is being good to you. XX

Sweet pea - yes such a shock, I'm still really nauseous and vomiting daily... Terrified of the thought of twins. Any advice and calming words appreciated, lol!

Will check in in a few days, take care until then ladies XX

[Pearl327]

Hi all. I hope everyone had as good a Christmas as was possible in your circumstances.

Sunflower I am so sorry for your losses

Mum23 sorry that you lost 1 baby and congratulations on having 1 healthy baby

Cvd sorry you didn't hear girl but 2 boys will be fantastic

Maple congrats on the identical twins. They are going to be so cute

[Bama Belle]

Cvd - so sorry you didn't hear pink. But congrats on a healthy little boy.

[hopingforsaskia]

Oh cvd... It's so hard I know. I thought my ds2 was a girl. :( the others are right though.. 2 boys together are pretty darn cute. They have a little buddy for life. It's the best consolation prize ever. :) xx

Sunflower, I'm glad it all went ok. I can't imagine how you must feel though. Sending hugs xx

Emmy, I'm sure everything is fine! Enjoy minimal nausea! ;)

I'm sooooo tired... I went to bed at 7.40pm and slept solidly until 3am at which point I woke for my ds2 an went back to sleep probably around 4ish til 5.45am. SO sleepy. :( all good signs though. ;) also! I found out yesterday my very good friend from high school (who I'm still close to) is pregnant too and due the day after me! Such great news!! :) never thought she'd have kids so it was a huge surprise! :)

Hope everyone else is doing well. :)

[Mrs_P]

Cvd i'm sorry you didn't hear pink but huge congrats on a healthy little boy, your son will be so thrilled to have a brother.

Emmy if it helps any what little m/s i had didn't start until 7.5 weeks and then it was so mild i only knew it was there as i was looking for it. Fingers crossing it stays that way but i was told at 12 weeks (by cvs) that i was having a healthy little girl

[cvd]

Thank you everyone. Now I'm just more worried about people's comments. all along my mil has been such a downer so I know when we tell her she's going to have some snarky remark. No one knows we went today, I'm not sure if we should just tell everyone or keep pretending we think its a girl.

Sunflower I am so sorry. It makes me feel silly being upset when you just had to go through all that. I can't even imagine how you feel. My heart goes out to you and your fam. Xo.

[Violet_]

Sorry you didn't hear pink cvd. But congrats on your healthy baby son. Don't feel guilty for having GD, it's very normal to realize that your dream of a daughter may never happen.

Sunflower, I'm so sorry you had to go through the loss of both your babies and also must be very emotional having a D & C. Wish I could take away some of your pain.

Mum23boys, hope things are getting a bit easier for you hun.

Sorry to hear you are vomiting daily Maple. Morning sickness is such an awful thing to go through and I really hope you start to feel better soon. I find when I get more rest I am less sick, but that's easier said then done with kids already I know.



Hope everyone else are doing okay.

[Jadis]

Oh CVD, I'm sorry you didn't hear pink today. I know that other posters have said it but it's true-my boys share a very special relationship and I wouldn't want it any other way, they're best buds for life. Congrats on your son and thanks for updating.

[WantingPink]

Sunflower I am so sorry. It makes me feel silly being upset when you just had to go through all that. I can't even imagine how you feel. My heart goes out to you and your fam. Xo.

Sorry you didn't hear girl. I know exactly how you feel. I was convinced DS2 was a girl. My pregnancy was so different and everyone kept telling me that I looked like I was "carrying" a girl. When the US tech told me we were having a boy I was in shock. I didn't even say anything I just punched my DH and told him this was his "fault"... the US tech looked at DH and said "you know she is right" so everyone had a good laugh but as soon as the US was over I cried in the elevator. I then had to go to work where everyone was waiting for me and I had to publicly announce I was having a boy. I don't think you should tell anyone what you are having until you have really dealt with your feelings about it. People will say stupid things and you need to be in a state of mind to be able to shrug them off.

As far as you DH getting a vasectomy I think you should wait until your youngest is a couple of years old. The only worse than getting a vasectomy is getting a reversal. I thought I wouldn't want anymore kids. I really didn't picture my life with anymore than two kids. Everything seems to be made for a "family of four". But as time passed I found myself wanting a 3rd baby (even if it is another boy).

You are going to love the relationship your two boys will have. It is really fun watching my two play and seeing how they due truly love (and love to fight) with each other. I love having two boys... I just also want a girl:)

[Jadis]

p.s. Would love to see some pics of that cute boy of yours, if you're up to sharing!

[cvd]

Here he is :). We did some baby clothes shopping after - it didn't bother me much to see the girl stuff. We are looking at names now. I have a feeling this is going to be a tough pick lol 7547

Sorry it's not good quality. I took a pic with my phone. I only got 1 since we just chose a basic package. We're going back at 28 weeks for the full thing when his features are developed :) we had the hardest time choosing a picture. He literally was posing for us the whole time, he kept changing his position. So ACTIVE!

Hehe I had to chuckle because when we got into the car I told DH it was his fault too lol. I am feeling better about it I think. We went baby clothes shopping after and it didn't seem to bother me to see the girl stuff! I had a really good bawl in the car but I think I got it all out. And thanks for your input about the vasectomy, we will worry/discuss it more after the baby comes not making any set in stone decisions yet :)

I think I read somewhere where you are 22 and your DH is 26... you two have a long long time and I know right now you are chasing around a little one and having another one and the next few years are going to be a little crazy with two little ones but wait until you have a 8 year old and a 10 year old and all your friends are having babies... you might just get the baby itch again:)

Ya I know what you mean! Unfortunately, as an only child I'm pretty set in my ways and tough to sway lol we will see how we feel when we have to cross that bridge! You never know!!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your babies Sunflower :( Life is so cruel sometimes, we have certainly had alot of bad news on here lately, it makes me very sad :(

Congrats on the twins Maple :)

Congrats on your beautiful healthy baby boy CVD - he is adorable!! So round and button like - mine always look like aliens in 3D pics!!

I've been hanging low too, feeling pretty crap, just this all day sort of sickness and tiredness, i feel so guilty that my other 3 children are getting neglected on their school holidays, thank god for my husband :)

Happy New year xx

[LO123]

cvd, I am sorry you didn't hear pink but your little boy is so cute in the photo. I hope you are doing OK. You are so young don't make any big decisions just yet. I am 38, my DH 42. I wish we had started so much earlier. I thought I only wanted one so was happy to wait. Now pregnant with our second, but now would love 3. Our ages will definitely make this our last. You still have so much time ahead of you.

Sunflower, I really feel for you. Lots of hugs

[Mum23boys]

Morning ladies how are we all ? Sunflower definately STAY !!!

I just found out that the lady who did my private scan offers super early gender scans from 12 weeks which i assume is based on the nub theory - she said 14-15 weeks isnt ideal she does ether 12 weeks or from 16 weeks onwards.
She claims 95% accuracy at 12 weeks and 100% at 16 weeks.
Am soooooo tempted to finf out at 12 weeks !!! arrrrrrrr - Hubby would never agree.

[3boys]

Cvd so sorry you didn't hear pink babe. Your little boy will be well loved.

Sunflower stay and hang with me.

Mum23... Go on go :) I'm desperate to hear pink from you!

Glad to hear everyone had a good Christmas. Mine has gone from really bad to horrendous as we found out yesterday DH's mum has had a stroke! I can't wait for 2013!

[Mum23boys]

Glad to hear everyone had a good Christmas. Mine has gone from really bad to horrendous as we found out yesterday DH's mum has had a stroke! I can't wait for 2013!

OH BOO !!! Is she ok ?

The 12 week scan is super expensive at £150 its then £120 at 16 weeks but she is a specialist. bigger companies like baby bond operate near me too and they scan from 16 weeks and only charge £80 so it is alot more money to go private with her than a bigger company but i have never heard of anyone else doing sexing from 12 weeks and I really would love to know. Maybe ill wait for my 11+5 scan with the NHS on 22nd jan first - see if i see a nub and take it from there if i suspect boy i think id rather not find out but if it looks girly i will have to find out to stop me building up my hopes !!!

[Sunflower3]

Thanks ladies. Ill stick around.

3boys - I feel like you. Found out yesterday after my procedure that my best friends father died suddenly yesterday morning. Roll on 2013!!!!!!!!

[3boys]

Not really. Major bleeding to the brain, she is unconscious at the moment. It is truly awful.

My 12 week scan was 95% accurate and was indeed correct. We paid £130 but again he was a specialist. I thought I saw a boy nub at 12 weeks exactly which is why I booked him four days later as I wanted to know for sure. I'm so glad I did as I have a DVD of him alive to keep. I can't face watching it now but I'm so glad I have some footage of his heart beating!

[Sunflower3]

Praying for your family 3boys!

Whereabouts are you? Mr penman does nuchal scans at 12-13 weeks and tells gender - think he says 95% - he charges around £100 and is in wanderslade in Kent or another place in Kent I would have to look up - I am toying with going to baby one but am scared!!

[OneLastDream]

Sunflower - definitely stay x

3boys - am so so sorry - am really wishing or a wonderful 2013 for you x

[Mum23boys]

Thanks thats great to know a price to compare - I am near Gatwick so not far but might as well if not that much different in price use the lad i used before - its a bit scary to think i could know in 4 weeks time though !!!

This doesn't have to be your last. My BIL is 45 (he has 3) and his wife is 41 just had their first (her first) so it is possible. I am 37 and plan to have another after this LO, although we will have some medical assistance due to fertility problems. I wish we would have started a little earlier too! Just follow your heart.

I know. DH had to do enough convincing for me to agree to 2. I really don't want three children, doesn't really have to do with age or anything lol that's just how I feel. I'm happy with 2 boys :)

[jennaesue]

Oh hunny im so sorry but you know what Brothers are great - Ryder will have a best friend under the same roof. I really think boys do have a special bond but Im sorry you will never get your dream.

I totally agree. I am so sorry you didn't hear girl, it has to be especially hard after how sure you were (that is how I was with ds3 - completely convinced he was a girl until the ultrasound proved otherwise) but brothers really are amazing. I was so upset when I found out that ds2 was a boy, but I would not change him to a girl for anything now. He and ds1 have the best relationship, it is so awesome.

Is anyone getting really bad headaches? I can't remember getting this before - think supposed to be a boy sign though??

[Mum23boys]

Yo had one for four days last week paracetamol was no help only water helped

[Jadis]

Oh yes, I never had headaches in my past pregnancies the way I'm suffering them now. I keep the tylenol handy!

[Violet_]

Yes when I'm really tired and/or dehydrated (vomiting a lot). I try really hard to keep fluids up but even that's hard some days. Sometimes I can't keep water down but sipping ginger and lemon tea often stays down and helps.

[Jadis]

Oh Violet, that's awful. This pregnancy was the mildest morning sickness I've had, though it didn't feel mild when I was in the thick of it. I really hope you're feeling much better very soon. Judging by your ticker, you've only got a few weeks left in the first trimester. I hope the second tri is much much much easier on you. Hang in there.

[Praying4Pink]

Is anyone getting really bad headaches? I can't remember getting this before - think supposed to be a boy sign though??

I had them for about a month or so right after I got my positive. No more thankfully!

[mummyof3boys]

Ok so I'm off for my first u/s today
I'm sooo nervous.
I'm just hoping I can see a little heartbeat that will make me satisfied for now!
And hopefully make me less moody.... Anyone else super moody with the more preg they have had???
I feel like a insane maniac emotions all
Over the place!
Well
Bring on 1 pm :)

[Jadis]

Good luck mummyof3!

[Mrs_P]

I've been really moody with this baby and had head aches - only with this one though. Often feels like i have really bad pms

Sorry to hear you had such a D H mummyof3boys. Congrats on seeing your baby and knowing that it's heart is beating. Good on you for insisting on the transvaginal and getting a closer look for peace of mind. I know what you mean with crappy u/s techs, I had a shocker with DS3's 12 week scan and I was almost crying. He kept saying how I was too fat to get a proper look and could I hold my fat out of the way. So rude, I wasn't even that big and I was pregnant which made what weight I was carrying on my tummy stick out further then norm. He wouldn't let me see the screen to see bub until he was happy that bub was the right size to check for measurements so I had to ask hubby if there was a baby on the screen and he got up me for being impatient. Was awful. Just try to shrug it off and at least you know that your baby is fine and I hope you have a better tech next time.

[OneLastDream]

Mummyof3 sorry you had such a crappy us tech - cant believe you had to insist on transvag. They do that at our hospital on every scan now to check cervix etc and baby things they can't do normally and before a certain amount of weeks which I think is 11 they just do transvag. Violet - how rude of that tech - did you complain? I would have been horrified although I probably would have been rude back and had to point out that they were ugly or something! Am speechless at that - shouldn't matter what size you are and you certainly don't look large to me in your pic.

Got another headache but I think that's cos hubby has snored constantly through the night - wish we had a spare room lol!!!! He has been irritating me anyway this past two weeks but that maybe cos I am a touch moody although dont like to admit it to him!!!!!

Happy new year to everyone hope 2013 makes everyone's wishes come true xx

[cvd]

ok so i had my u/s today...abdominal could only see the sac and the silly u/s tech said well we cant confirm your pg when did u take pg test ME:over 2 weeks ago HIM: well uj might only be 4 weeks cos it shows up after 2...ME umm ok ( was just upset not thinking then later realised we are not pg at 2 weeks we are doing the deed to get pg!!!)
So i say can we do a transvag he says ok but we wont see anything...me im willing to take the risk lol
Surprise surprise we see a heart beating away 127bpm...So i got the short straw with the u/s tech today never had a prob before

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR LADIES xxxx
Oh goodness. Sorry it had to go like that, but so glad you got to see everything was good and well!

[cvd]

I've been really moody with this baby and had head aches - only with this one though. Often feels like i have really bad pms
Mrs P. I was like that with DS - lol poor DH. I would be happy one second and RAGING MAD the next!! Looking back I just have to laugh, I got mad over the funniest things!

[Jadis]

Happy New Year to all you lovely ladies! Hope 2013 brings us healthy, happy babies!

[Mrs_P]

mummyof3boys i had early ultra sounds with all two of my babes, ds2 i was six weeks and they couldn't see a heart beat, they said it was touch and go as to whether they found it in the sixth week, that was transvaginal. The week later he had a proper heart beat.

This one i was 7 weeks plus 3, they said she measured six at the time (although dating that early is never accurate) but she had a heart beat and may dates turned out to be right at my 12 week cvs scan.

I think a heart beat is only visible between the latter part of week 6 and week 7 so its not very likely that you are only 5 weeks - heart doesn't start beating until the beginning of the 6th week from what i have read.

[mummyof3boys]

Hi again.... So after having the internal u/s yesterday afternoon I have woken up this morning after going to the bathroom and had blood when I wiped, like a decent amount but after that of cos I have been to the bathroom 1000 times there is the the tiniest bit each time I wipe... No cramps pain ect do u think it could just be from tranvaginal u/s????
I really hope so! X

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I don't belong to this thread but wanted to say I think the spotting is due to the vaginal u/s you had. I've had the same thing happen to me in my past pregnancies and baby was fine.

[mummyof3boys]

Thanks!!! :))I no I can't change whatever's meant to happen anyway so just need to go with the flow.. Well try anyway
But yeah never ever bled with any of my preg that have been fine so just freaking out a bit! And to add to it going camping today with the family including mother in law bro inlaw his partner , friends and thier kids so sorta having a panic attack that here I will be bleeding having a miscarriage while camping:/
Wish I could get u/s before we went today but being NY day here everything's closed so will see how I go over today and if I'm still bleeding will try n find somewhere to go get one 2 Moro!
Thanks for listening makes me feel a bit better
And this is the sort of thing that really pushes GDesire away I just want a baby!!!!

[LO123]

Happy New Year Ladies, hope you all had a good one. Very quite for me, didn't even see 12 o'clock, would rather my sleep.

Mummyof3boys, so good you got to see baby and a strong HB but not a great experience. You would think in the job they are in they would be a bit more sensitive. I hope you have not had any more bleeding and can try and enjoy your time away.

Ladies, I too have been really moody and want to cry all the time. Yesterday I could have shouted at everyone all day. It was a really hard day and the MS has got a bit worst. I am back to work tomorrow so really hoping it will be OK. Also i am showing already so will need to hide it as much as possible. I am only 9 weeks, anyone else showing this early?

[3boys]

Happy new year ladies :) hope you all had a good one. X

[Mum23boys]

LO123 check out the bump and toilet roll thread - im not quite 9 weeks yet and am mahoosive !!! Im in maternity leggings and tops already just cos they are baggy and hide the bump. I need to hide it until atleast 15 weeks which im thinking is now near on impossible !!

[cvd]

Happy New Years ladies!!!! We didn't make it till midnight but Ryder woke us up to celebrate at 3am with a fever :( I think his 2 year mollars are on their way!

[Bama Belle]

Happy New Year!

I started showing early and told family earlier than I would have liked because of it.
I go for an NT scan with a MFM on the 8th and I am so excited! I'm sure that we will be able to see a nub!

[heidih1977]

Happy new year ladies! Hope 2013 will bring lots of wonderful things for you all. After two sick kids all over christmas and the family here things are slowly starting to get back to normal.

CVD- sorry you didn't hear pink...the u/s photos are super cute though.

3boys- I read your story....still can't believe they didn't give you a d&c. Hope everything is ok for you and you are slowly starting to feel alright again...give yourself some time to mourn the loss.

mummyof3boys- really hope everything will be ok...am sure bleeding was result of the exam. I had bleeding in the 6th week and they saw recently my placenta was lying low which is the probable cause. But still any sight of blood is terribly worrying. I still worry things could go wrong.

LO123- sorry to hear your MS is getting worse. Mine has got much better...just a bit in the afternoons...hitting the 14th week now. As for moodiness...I think mine is borderline depression! I get into such bad moods lately...find it very hard to pull myself out of it and snap of course very easily at those closest to me. I don't remember the mood being so bad in the last two, but with the illness and catering for the family over xmas maybe it was all a bit much. Also the time of year....dark, dull and cold all day and stuck in the kids...doesn't help the mood either! Also know that with each increasing week the chances of seeing the gender increase which also add to the anxiety as I have such a feeling another boy is on the way...am going to delay finding out for as long as possible to keep the dream alive! Am starting to show...but still in normal jeans and clothes thankfully. Probably down to not having putting on any weight...which is due to the ms for the first few months.

[EmmyRoo]

Happy new year everyone! Hope 2013 brings us all our dreams. X

[Maple]

Happy New Year Ladies, hope you all had a good one. Very quite for me, didn't even see 12 o'clock, would rather my sleep.

Hey LMO!

So annoying you have to go back to work with awful MS! It is the pits huh! Hope you are not vomiting or gagging all day..

I too was showing at 9 weeks, and you know my situation.. When we announced my pregnancy people said 'What, you are only 12 weeks? We thought you might be 20' LOL.

Bet you can't wait for that scan huh! It's so exciting and reassuring!

Happy New Year to you, good luck on the job, rest up as much as possible at home. Hope DH is being good to you. XX

[Maple]

Happy happy New Year ladies!

I most certainly didn't make it to midnight - not a chance. However I was woken by the fireworks that sounded at 12am and seemed to be right outside my window, scared the crap out of me, lol.

Hope this year is a stunner for all. XX

[LO123]

Mum23boys, I will check it out. Nice to know others are showing also....

cvd, hope Ryder is better soon and that you don't catch anything.

Heidih, I too wonder if my moods are related to GD. This morning I woke up with this awful sinking feeling and I struggled to get out of bed. I know the feeling is related to me thinking this is a boy, I don't want to be sad about it but I am. The hard thing is my Mum says she really thinks it a girl. I don't want any false hope. I get mad at myself as I think my sway was not that great the month I fell and I blame myself now if it is not a girl. I really hope you hear girl and are feeling better soon. It is an awful place to be.

Maple, how are you doing? So far survived half the day at work and it is not going too bad. DH is away at present but back tomorrow so that is good. Hope you had a nice time away.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

[mummyof3boys]

[dreamingpink77]

I came over here to give a Happy New Year to all of you and I find sad news again. What's happening here? I haven't been here for days cause I'm so sick and I so much hoped to read some happy news but it seems lately the sad news are dominating :( So sorry about you girls who are suffering a loss.

And I'm complaining about my sickness....wich compared with these losses is nothing, but I feel so bad. It started on Christmas, had a little fever but nothing serious, took paracetamol and went away immediately. My son went to London with his dad on boxing day and I miss him terribly, he won't be here until Sunday. We started moving house on boxing day and I was miserable. Was so tired and it seemed that whatever I did, I just couldn't settle in the new house. Thankfully my family came and helped. When I thought I settled down a bit, I got this fever back with severe soar throat and cough with lots of mucus (sorry tmi). Cannot take any medicine other than paracetamol for the fever and some herbal syrup for the cough, which isn't working. It seems the cold and fever doesn't want to go away. I feel aweful :( Hubby was also sick but now is better and back to work today, so I'm lonely and missing my son. However, Im thankful that he's not here cause otherwise he would have caught the cold too. Plus, I have my first two exams next Monday and Tuesday, which I have been preparing for quite some time now, and I don't know if I'll be fit to go and sit for them...that would mean bye bye to a prospective promotion and bye bye to all the money I spent to attend evening courses and to all the time I dedicated to studying and not to my family.

Well my problems feel so tiny compared to some of yours girls, but I had to get this out. Feeling to down and sick today :( Wish we could change things for the better for everyone here! Hugs to all of you in pain girls! xxx

[heidih1977]

So so sorry for your loss mummyof3boys.....thinking of you.

[Jadis]

My goodness, this thread has had more than it's fair share of tragedy. I'm sorry for everyone who's suffered losses, mummyof3boys-I'll be thinking of you.

[Atsaukina1]

so sorry mommyof3boys big big hugs. this group really has suffered too many losses:( weren't you in your 2nd trimester? hopefully the doc has some answers so you can bring a new baby in this world after healing

I'm so sorry. If you haven't already, you should go see a Reproductive Endocrinologist(fertility clinic) or your OB and get some help. Something is off and I would ask for help.

[cvd]

Does swaying cause miscarriages to be more likely to happen? I honestly have never heard of so many losses before. I actually have never had anyone I know/know of lose a baby. It's all been stories of friends of friends of friends etc! Although, most people I know arent having babies yet. It may be a silly question, but just wondering if that could be part of it?

[Jadis]

Personally, I have my doubts that swaying has anything to do with losses. Unfortunately, miscarriages are incredibly common though this group has suffered an awful lot, it seems. If someone has a history of recurrent m/c, there's likely something bigger than crystal light and Rephresh at the bottom of it. My heart breaks for everyone here who's had a loss, wish there was something that could be done to make it all better for you. Whatever you do, don't blame yourselves. There was nothing you did to cause the losses, they just happen and that just sucks.

I feel guilty and selfish just sharing this now, but I wanted to let you guys know that I booked my next scan. THE scan. We'll be finding out whether we've got a Maggie or a Lenny on board on Jan.23rd, I'm terrified. I was in such a rush to know, but now I'm scared of having my last hope for a girl dashed. Maybe ignorance really is bliss. I doubt I'll sleep much in the days leading up to this scan.

Ya that makes sense Jadis. Aw. It's just so sad :(
But on a brighter note, that's great!!! Only 3 weeks! Really hoping you hear pink!! I was losing sleep as well, it was great my scan got bumped a week early last minute lol :) crossing my fingers for you till then.

I don't know, but I was just thinking that when you get a group of women together who are all pregnant at the same time, the percentage of losses is going to be higher than among the people you know in your average daily life.

[Mrs_P]

Oh my gosh more sad sad news, really sorry to all of the ladies who are having to experience this. I've only ever seen one or two early m/c on the other threads, we seem to have lost lots of babies (but then again i suppose we do have a large group and a lot of us know so early on, but even so seems a lot).

[Mrs_P]

To any of the girls around 16 weeks ish, are you feeling pregnant??

What little bit of sickness i had disappeared well before 12 weeks, i'm not yet at the phase where i'm feeling babe kick (although may have felt one or two movements) and despite i'm a looking a little fat i don't feel pregnant, i keep forgetting i am at times.

I don't remember this middle gap with the others, maybe because i had bad m/s i was just relieved to get a few weeks off and feel normal, but is it normal, are others experiencing the same???( Been feeling like this for weeks and was so worried maybe i'd lost the baby and didn't know, although there was a heart beat 2 weeks ago and i was feeling like this then to)


Any advice or opinions?

I know I'm a bit farther along but I haven't felt pregnant since about 14 weeks. My nausea came to a dead stop! Other then a big belly and now feeling baby move all the time, I feel no different then usual. Thinking back, I think DS1 was like this as well for pregnancy from the beginning pretty much right till the end. I felt sicker in the first tri with this pregnancy. I know what you mean about being a bit worried!
