Congrats ladies!! Hope to join you guys soon!

Swayed girl and due 3/8/2015. Hello ladies

[Aoii1711]

I don't know how I am going to last until 16 weeks for the gender scan! This is my last, I have 2 boys already and I know if this isn't a girl, I will never have the chance for a baby girl! Although I just have this feeling this time it is a girl. I even went a bought a cute little girl outfit and hid it! ☺️ it could just be wishful thinking but I feel it! Hope we all get our girls!

Morning sickness has kicked in for me. Cant keep anything down for the past 24 hrs. I just went to dr for prescription for morning sickness pills. Boy i hope this helps!

[Aoii1711]

I am actually really surprised I feel so good still. I'm not tired or sick yet! With my last 2 I remember being soooo tired at the very beginning. But I am still early so it may come! Hope you start to feel better Robin.

It litterly just kicked in for me at 6 weeks. I thought the same thing.

[unwirklich]

Also swayed girl :) EDD 3/17/15

[Aoii1711]

I'll be 6 weeks Saturday! I hope I continue to feel good!

Congrats unwirklich! Good luck on your girl!!

[unwirklich]

It's crazy how many girl swayers this site seems to have compared to boys, makes you wonder if boys are easier to get? Maybe because girls favor reduced fertility?

[Aoii1711]

Boys sure are easy for me!! 😊

Hello! I swayed girl and my edd is 8th march.
Apart from a little cramping, bloating, moodiness and mild nausea I don't feel too bad yet. Im only 5 weeks. Still soo early...I even took another pg test yesterday to check that I was still pg!

[Aoii1711]

Lol!! LaVie! I did the same thing this weekend!! I had the bloating/pms crampy feeling at the beginning and then that went away so I had to check to make sure I was still pregnant!

When do you all see your Dr's for the first time? Mine isn't until the end of this month!

[odd]

Me 3 - ditto on the symptoms so I checked to make sure that the line was getting stronger. Lol

I'm feeling flushed or hpw do u say, heat in the body today. I can actually feel myself getting warm. Its so weird

[Aoii1711]

How many other kids do you guys all have or is this your first?

This will be my 3rd! I have 2 boys ages 1 and 3. I always wanted just 2 but I had to try 1 more time for a daughter.. I really didn't think my DH would actually agree. He was so adamant he was done... But he caved!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[laVieEnRose]

This will be my 4th! I never thought in a million years that I would have more than 2 and here I am! I do have a huge age gap between my first 2 and my third (9 years and 7 years!). It's like starting all over again except I'm 10 years older, a little wiser (well I'd like to think lol) and prob crazier!

[Georgia_Peach]

Wow lavie how wonderful!
This is our third. Two older boys aged 6 and 3. :)
Do you guys find that everyone you tell your pregnant to or that your wanting to add to your family etc...always says "oh it will be another boy for sure."
Like its kind of a pet peeve of mine. Kinda bums me out and i think it kinda rude!

[Aoii1711]

Yes, Robin everyone always say that (I'm even guilty of thinking it too though) 😔 it's hard for me to think I can actually have a girl for some reason. Although I do believe this will be my girl. I just don't want to think it so much that I will be sad if it's a boy!! I keep trying to tell myself it might be a third boy just in case but I keep believing it really will be a girl!!! These next 10 weeks are going to be torture! I just want to know already!! 😆

[Georgia_Peach]

Me too aoii. Ive convinced myself its a boy just to be safe.ive actually already booked my gender ultrasound for sept 10. Seems so far away but im very excited to know!

[Aoii1711]

I think the earliest I can go is Sept 20th. I think they say 16 weeks for gender where I go! And I think I am only 5-6 weeks now. I wanted to make my appt but I thought the place would think I was crazy!!! 😊 I even thought of doing a 12 week "sneak peak" (they call it that) to see if I can see anything!! 😁

I have 1 son and this will be my 2nd and last. Hopefully its my girl♡

[stephk]

I'm so happy to join you ladies!! I'm due around 22 March! I have one gorgeous boy already. To be honest it's been so hard getting pg I'm so happy and just want a healthy 9 months. If it's my girl it's a bonus. I'm 36 in September so it's unlikely we will have a third but if we do it will be an oops and then my DH can get the snip!

[Aoii1711]

[laVieEnRose]

Yeah Stephk! Congratulations again! Your edd is my ds1 birthday !

[Sunflower3]

Hi ladies. Joining in here. Hoping maybe someone can move this thread to DD groups and make it a sticky? Atomic?
Anyway I'm due on March 14th. Symptoms for me are spotty. Nauseous, heartburn, headaches, tired.
I'm not really sure I care about gender at this point. Originally swayed girl and had a loss in December 2012 of mono/mono ID twins, multiple chemicals another miscarriage in February and a chemical in May so I dropped everything this cycle. Just hoping for a healthy happy baby. I have three boys 6,4 and 2.
Congratulations to all! Glad to be joining you!!!

Well, I got a strong enough second pink line on my frer this morning that I couldn't help myself from joining you ladies. :) It's still super duper early days, so I'm crossing my fingers it's a sticky bean and the lines just keep getting darker. I know anything can happen this early.

I have 3 boys already, ages 14, 4, and 2 (his b-day is today!). I'm hoping for a little pink to even things out in the family this time. I'm due March 24th. So excited!

[stephk]

Congrats sunflower and Girliedreamz - fab news!!

[odd]

Congratulations ladies

[laVieEnRose]

Congratulations ladies!

Doctors have a way to freak you out. Mine just sent me straight to early preg unit to be scanned and see if bb implanted in the correct spot. I know they need to be cautious with previous ectopic cases - I'm sitting there in this waitin room and its bringing back very sad memories. I hope this time it will be a happy story. Also im not sure we will see anything yet - so early still - Will let you know ...

[stephk]

hope everything has gone well with your appointment Lavie, thinking of you hon.

[SamS_TTCPink]

Hope it all went well laVieEnRose. It's good they're taking care of you after your ectopic. xx

[Aoii1711]

Good luck laVieEnrose, try not to stress too much! Hope to hear good news!

So my morning sickness came on this morning! Any remedies to help it out? I don't remember ever feeling this bad with my other 2! 😩

[laVieEnRose]

Hi ladies, thank you. its all good news - baby measures 6weeks 4days and I could even see the heartbeat flickering. :-)) All is how it should be. I am so relieved and can now truly believe I'm pregnant lol. My edd is 8th march (just 2 weeks after Ds3 birthday!)

[Aoii1711]

Such great news!

Lavien..how exciting. You must be relieved - and we r due date buddies. I am also due on 8th March granted everything works out ok.

[Georgia_Peach]

Good luck la vie. Thoughts and prayers with you!

Aoii ive been sick as a dog for two weeks now! Ive been prescribed declectin (morning sickness pills). They are mildly helping. I find Gatorade and water and anything plain like crackers and white bread helps a bit.ive lost seven pounds in two weeks.

[stephk]

Fantastic news lavie :)

[Rosie85]

Yay Lavie!! I am so happy to hear the news!

[stephk]

Starting to allow myself to feel it's more real. My temps are still high and the cheapie tests are much darker :)

I'm off to Zurich in a few hours so have a great weekend ladies and I'll likely be back on Sunday eve unless the hotel has wifi

[SamS_TTCPink]

Awesome news laVieEnRose!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Have fun in Zurich steph.

[lyngostar]

May I join you ladies? My edd is about 27th of March. I'm so nervous after my chemical/miscarriage in April. Praying for sticky beans for all of us.

[girliedreamz]

Wonderful news, La Vie!

Have a great trip, steph!

Welcome, Lyngostar! Thinking sticky thoughts!

I haven't hit the morning sickness yet, but I'm already getting dizzy in the mornings and have a massive hormone headache right now.
I'm eating everything I couldn't have on LE hand over fist right now as I know I'll be joining the nausea crowd very soon. With my last ds, I lost 15lbs in the first 6 months. SO sick.

[lyngostar]

I've started feeling sick already. It's mostly if I've ate too much. Lol. Need to try and remember to eat little and often.
When is your due date girliedreamz?

[girliedreamz]

I think I'm March 24th. My sis's birthday is the 23rd, so I'm hoping we're just one day early. :)

[BlessedMomma]

Congrats to all the ladies on your pregnancies, I pray u all have a happy and healthy 9 months. Im so glad to finally be able to join u! Edd march 26 2015. Im right behind u girlie :)

[odd]

Blessed, to you as well, :-)

[girliedreamz]

Congrats, Blessed! Glad to have you here!

[Two of a Kind]

Hi ladies, would love to join in :)
Think me EDD is around the 16 th of march. Have a 5 yr old DD, 2.5 yr Old DS & 13 Month old DS. Would love to complete our family with a sister for DD1 ( but will be happy & blessed with another DS).
Looking forward to chatting with you all xx
Have you posted your sways? X

[Georgia_Peach]

Welcome two of a kind!! Congrats

[stephk]

Congrats blessed and two of a kind. Yes, I have posted my sway.

I have not been sleeping well thanks to the heat and DHs coughing so I am shattered and hope it doesn't affect anything at this early stage

[SamS_TTCPink]

No I haven't posted my sway yet. After our loss in April I don't want to "jinx" this pg by posting my sway again. 😕

[laVieEnRose]

Welcome two of a kind!

I hope everyone had a good weekend!

I was trying to describe how I feel to DH and in a nutshell this is it: a really bad indigestion with a massive hungover whilst feeling seasick ...

I can't remember feeling as bad previously but I prob forgot.
I don't develop very well either Stephk. I'm lacking air and crave 'fresh air'. How do you get 'fresh air' lol, I could always stick my head in the fridge haha.

[laVieEnRose]

I meant I don't sleep very well - how did develop got in there?! Lol

[Aoii1711]

Congrats blessed and two of a kind!

I have been so nauseous all day this past week. I haven't really got sick but I feel sick most of the day! I'm hoping this stage goes by quickly. I'm a little worried, we are going camping for a week starting Wednesday and i really don't want to be sick all day! 😕


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[lyngostar]

Oh I hope this stage goes by quickly too. I hate trying to find things to eat that won't make me feel sick.

[Georgia_Peach]

Lyngostar im so with you!

[girliedreamz]

Congrats, two of a kind! I couldn't help posting my sway right away. Mostly because I have such pregnancy-brain I was afraid I'd forget everything I did if I waited. (I swear I can't remember a dang thing lately. I write notes to myself... then forget to look at the notes!)

I haven't felt sick yet, but I'm expecting it any day now. Just super out of it and spacey. :)

[lyngostar]

Oh I'm with you on the pregnancy brain. We had ds1s 27 month check up at the doctors today. I had looked at the letter last week and was sure it was at 1.30. So at 11.30 today while dh was in the shower I thought I would check the letter just to be sure. The appointment was at 11.30!! The boys weren't even dressed yet as we had been having a late breakfast and lazy morning. Lol.

[unwirklich]

Sorry I've been away a few days. Congrats to all the new BFPs. It's awesome to see so many.

I'm finally starting to worry less this bean won't stick lol conception indicator said 3+ at 5w2d, which it never said higher than 2-3 last pregnancy, and I've had horrific nausea--something I've never had with any of my pregnancies. I had my first OB appointment and she said everything looks great, measuring right on and everything. I have an ultrasound weds. to make sure the baby isn't ectopic and they are putting me on progesterone just in case too. Kinda scared I won't see a heartbeat, I'll only be 6w1d which I know could just be too early, but man, it would be rough to wait in uncertainty for a second scan if I didn't. No spotting at least, that's a good sign.

[crazycatcouple]

Hi ladies! May I join you? It seems there are a few places people are posting for March 2015 due dates since there's no sticky yet, but this one seems to be the most active. I've been hanging out in the previous group since I couldn't find any for March when I first got my BFP. I'm currently 8 weeks and due March 2nd, but my first came naturally at 37 weeks, so I'm thinking it may end up in a Feb bday for this one. We shall see. Oh, and I'll be the odd one out here because we swayed blue! We have 1 DD as of now who is 3 years old and only plan on having 2 total, so really hoping this is our little guy :-)

Oh, and congrats to all the BFPs!!

[Georgia_Peach]

Welcome crazycatcouple! Were two days off. Im due march 4! I hope you get your little boy!

[girliedreamz]

Welcome, crazycat!

Good luck at your appt, unwirklich! Fingers crossed all is well. I'm SO waiting it hear my little one's heartbeat too. I'm almost scared to tell anyone about it until I do.

[girliedreamz]

TMI...okay, I just went to the bathroom and found brownish bleeding. :/ Now I'm worried, as yesterday I wiped and found a lot of mucus. I didn't think much of it at the time, except that it was odd, but the spotting is making me worried. Praying my bean is still sticking! I don't see my midwife until next week, and even then it's just a "meet your provider" not a regular visit. I just lost my insurance, so I don't have a regular doctor. Ugh! Think this is worrisome enough to go to the ER or should I wait until next week when I see my midwife? I'm googling like a fool, but I'm mostly seeing that unless it's bright red it's *probably* okay. Not totally reassuring...

[odd]

Girliedreamz, I spotted on and off with my son in the first trimester. At first it was scary but gradually it reduced. It was always brown though - I would rest with my feet up and see how it goes in the next few hours. Take it easy..fx for u and good luck

[girliedreamz]

Thanks, odd! I've never spotted before, so probably freaking more than I should be. I hope. Pouring some tea and resting now.

(It has been an exhausting two days... my babysitter has been out so trying to work and be super-mom at the same time. I had the bright idea to take both boys to the park two days in a row. In the heat. So tired! Lol!)

[stephk]

Congrats and welcome crazycat! Hope you get your little man!

Girliedreamz - I would be freaking out too but I hear that spotting is normal, and as long as it's not lots of bright red blood it's ok. I hope it stops soon to put your mind at ease. Definitely rest.

I have booked an extra scan on 12th August, it will be £100 but worth every penny to see my little darlings heartbeat. I did the same when pg with DS and it was reassuring to know all was well. It's too long to wait until the 12 week scan! Need to call the midwives today to arrange booking in etc.

[kitkat18]

Congrats again ladies!! Hope I will be joining you soon Xx

This morning when I got out of bed there was a gush of blood. :( I'm halfway thinking it was just because I was laying down all night, the accumulated "spotting"...but part of me thinks I'm just kidding myself and I might be losing baby. I'm going to try to get a midwife appointment for today.

[crazycatcouple]

Oh girliedreamz, I hope it's just some accumulation from overnight and not anything bad! I think going to see a midwife is probably a good idea though, just in case. We'll be thinking about you!

[Rosie85]

Hope it all turns out okay girliedreamz. Hopefully you can get in today.

[stephk]

Oh no Girliedreamz I hope you get an appointment and all is well. We will all be thinking of you

[girliedreamz]

Thanks everyone! your support means the world to me right now.

The midwife clinic wouldn't see me since I'm technically "no a patient" yet. They sent me to the urgent care clinic, and I just got back form there. They said my cervix is closed, which is good, but that's about all they could tell me. It could be just random bleeding, a hormone imbalance, or the beginnings of a miscarriage. They gave the name of an OB and said I need to schedule something with them if I want more tests. Sigh. So, now I have to go see an OB. (Which is why I called the midwife practice in the first place...they have a high risk ob on site. Ugh!)

[Georgia_Peach]

Yah i called the midwife as soon as i found out i was pregnant. They put me on a wait list and im not supposed to get a call until aug.. but before 12 weeks. In the mean time my dr set me up with an ob. Not sure why.. i guess in case i change my mind lol. I have a scheduled ultrasound this fri though (8+ weeks). Maybe. They can get you one to ease your mind? Where do you live (

[kitkat18]

Feeling for you girlie sending sticky vibes to your little one!! Good news your cervix is closed and hopefully the ob can give you some reassurance xx

Kitkat! Found you! I was wondering which forum you were on! I was just wondering how you're doing these days Are you ttc this month? I'll keep everything crossed for you if you are x


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[unwirklich]

I did a ton of reading, I mean like hours, when I started spotting before my last loss and it is very very possible to have bleeding, even bright red, and everything be just fine. Try to stay positive :)

I'm lucky to have a longterm relationship with my midwife so I got to come in super early. I had my first scan today 6w1d and the baby measured spot on. Couldn't hear the heart beat but I saw it...very relieving to a point, but know I'm still not out of the woods. I was 6w4d when the bleeding started last loss, and my first loss measured 8w.

[odd]

I'm so sorry that yoh have to go through this stress. Hopefully the bleeding will stop and you can put your mind at ease. It is so nerve wracking. Praying for u and ur baby

[lyngostar]

I hope everything is ok girliedreamz. Praying for you.

[essnce629]

That sucks Girlie that they couldn't do more for you then and you now have to go somewhere else. Keeping my fingers crossed that everything is ok. Have you had any cramps or just the bleeding? No cramps would be a good sign.

[SamS_TTCPink]

Thinking of you girliedreamz. I did bleed quite a lot during pregnancy with DS5 and DS6 so it can happen and you can still have a happy and healthy bub. I know it's scary though. Fingers crossed it's nothing and someone will see you soon. xxx

[girliedreamz]

Thank you ladies! I spent an hour on the hold trying to get an appointment at the county OB clinic with no luck. I finally was able to get an hcg test through my local lab, at least, so I had that drawn this afternoon. No idea when I'll get results. I'm hoping by tomorrow. I'm not sure there's anything more to do but wait. I'm not overly hopeful at this point. The bleeding is heavy now, accompanied by some cramping, and there have been some clots and/or tissue passing as well. Just so crushed. :(

[Rosie85]

So sorry girlie. It does sound like a miscarriage. Rest plenty and drink a ton of water. If it is a miscarriage I am so sorry for your loss.

[stephk]

I'm so sorry Girliedreamz. Hugs and prayers to you x

[Two of a Kind]

All the best girliedteamz, will be thinking of you, xxx

[Two of a Kind]

Congratulations crazy cat lady :), I had a girl first then DS1 & they are the best of friends :)

Im 5 weeks today and have very few symptoms. How about the rest of u ladies?? Im a little more tired, breasts only a tiny bit sore, and just small waves of nausea (not frequent at all).

[Georgia_Peach]

I didnt get sickness until 6 weeks. Since then its non stop nausea for me. :(

[essnce629]

Oh no Girliedreamz! So sorry for your loss if it is a miscarriage. Please take care of yourself and rest up. (((HUGS)))

[crazycatcouple]

Girlie, you are in my thoughts and praying your little one makes it through, but even if not, please take care of yourself and know we are all here to support you!

Thank you Two of a kind :-) And as far as symptoms go, I am just like Robin - not much at all until week 6, but as soon as week 6 is here, they are here in full force! I'm now halfway through week 8 and trying to manage them. Got a prescription for Diclegis that I started 2 days ago. So far it seems to be keeping the nausea mostly at bay, although I am so incredibly tired!!! I can hardly keep my eyes open at work. From what I've read in forums of people who have taken it, the total exhaustion clears up after a few days once your body gets used to being on it, but this is tough. Really hoping it gets more manageable because at this rate I'm not sure which is worse, the nausea or the can't keep my eyes open to do anything. Oh, and it's a pricey drug! I heard from other moms in forums to print out the coupon on the Diclegis website just in case, and man am I glad I did! My doctor wrote the script for 30 pills with 2 refills, but you're supposed to start off taking 2 pills a day and can increase up to 4 if needed. Because of the price, I'm going to try and stick with just 2 even though I think a third could come in handy. With my insurance, the 30 pills was going to cost me over $150!! With the coupon, it came down to $30, but still that's $1 a pill, so still $60 a month minimum and maybe more if I find I'll need more :-( I guess it's too new to have a generic out yet, but hopefully down the road they will.

[laVieEnRose]

Just catching up on here...
Girlie I am so sorry you have to go through this...sending you healing and living energy...

Stephk: why don't you go to the early pregnancy unit to get a scan? Just say you need a dating scan... It would save you £100! Just a thought ...x

[girliedreamz]

My hcg tests confirmed it today...baby's gone. I'm super sad, but trying to look ahead and think about getting back on the sway train again. I'm gonna bow out of this group as it's just gonna be too hard to stick around right now, but I'll be keeping up with all of you on other parts of the board. Thanks a ton for all your support, it really does mean a lot. Dh has been great, but he doesn't really "get it" like you ladies do. Wish you all a happy nine months and healthy babies.

[Two of a Kind]

Very sorry for your loss Girliedreamz, will be thinking of you, & all the best for the future x

[Two of a Kind]

My all day MS usually kicks in around week 5, actually feeling really miserable :(
Having our state newspaper around today to take photos of me & the kiddies for an award ( for my small business) & I I am so sick I just don't even care :( .

Have never taken anything for MS but seriously considering it, with three small kiddies & my business ( & I work one day a week as a midwife) I need help :)

[stephk]

girliedreamz I am so sorry for your loss, rest now and return to swaying/TTC when you feel up to it. Lots of hugs to you x

lavie - the NHS wont have any of it, I am not considered high risk so wont get a scan until 12/13 weeks and I cant wait that long. The midwives havent even called me back yet to arrange booking in etc so I need to feel like there is some kind of progress. I paid for a scan last time at around 7 weeks and it was so worth it. The acupuncture was costing me £75 a session and I was having that once a month to help me ovulate so its swings and roundabouts, plus I am saving a fortune on not buying alcohol!!

Not massively feeling pg, I feel fine in the mornings but get very tired as the day goes on which is pretty normal for not being pg!! Sometimes feel a bit nauseous, sometimes get the stuffy feeling, sometimes get sore boobs, sometimes get cramping, sometimes feel a bit dizzy. Have had a lot of cm these past few days. I have continued to take my temps for reassurance and they are still up.

[daisymoo]

Thanks Kitkat Great news about your dh Best of luck for this month!

Congrats Two of a Kind for having your business recognized! That's pretty amazing, but yeah, I totally understand just not caring about much these days. I'm like a zombie lately between the normal pregnancy fatigue and then the addition of the Diclegis, which definitely seems to be helping the MS, but man am I tired!!

We are 8w5d today, so hoping there's only a few more weeks of this...we shall see. It lasted well into my 15th week with DD, but this time doesn't seem quite as bad overall, so hoping it will also end earlier! The first trimester is just not much fun, in my opinion. I'm constantly worried, feeling tired and crappy, and then no one really even knows, so you don't have the excuse of being pregnant, lol. Once we can get to week 13, I'm hoping I can enjoy it a little more since it will be my last. How about you ladies? Anyone else on their last pregnancy no matter the outcome or are you open to giving it another go it the sway doesn't turn out?

[MamaLuv]

Hey ladies!! I swayed girl and I'm 5 weeks. My EDD should be around March 26th.

So far, I'm moody. I'm happy one minute and ready to slap someone the next. I get a little emotional at random times. The thought of red meat disgusts me. I smelled BBQ and tuna and gagged. I ate something too cheesy and was about to puke. I've been craving sweets (mostly chocolate) and healthy stuff. In terms of symptoms, my nipples are starting to feel funny. Not really sore but sensitive. My back has been hurting and I've been crampy. I don't recall any of that early on with my boys.

Had a dream last night that it was a boy. Gaaah! In the dream the lady said SHE and I said SHE?! And she said "oh no I said HE" but she definitely said SHE. I'm wondering if it was an anxiety dream or if there is something to it! Sorry for the rant! Lot to say!

[Georgia_Peach]

So sorry for your loss girlie. Prayers with you!

I went for my first ultrasound today and im actually not due in March any more! Lol .
Feb 28 is my new due date. Went from being my birthday to my husband's! Were thrilled.. puts me farther along so hopefully sickness is closer to going! Lol

[stephk]

Welcome mamaluv and congrats!! Weird dreams are common I wouldn't worry about it.

Crazycat hope your tiredness goes away so you can enjoy being pg. I have to admit I did not enjoy being pg last time and doubt I will this time.... On the topic of more after this, I'm almost 36 so it's unlikely but DH and I haven't ruled it out regardless of the gender of this child. We probably won't TTC but if an oops happens it happens. And if it does he is having the snip. No more fake hormones for me.

[BlessedMomma]

Crazycat I hope u start feeling better soon
Mamaluv we share the same due date :)

Does any1 else have some sort of bloat/bump going on? Last nighy I looked 4 months pregnant. Im naturally very thin so this bump/bloat is noticable and I dont think ill b able to keep this to myself til week 12

[bethwade]

I'm in! Swayed girl (but soooo nervous :-/ ) Checked out at 8weeks on Tuesday, strong heartbeat at 184 and due March 1 :))

Oh, and I'm craving chicken. How weird is that?? I'm eating chicken, eggs and waffles. Lol Which also scares me into thinking it's another boy 😳

Yeah!! Congrats!! I saw your post and this is our last no matter what. And we are staying team green this time which is going to killlllllme. But I really don't want to go through another gender ultrasound. :-/ I know by the time delivery rolls around I'll just be happy to deliver! Boy or girl. Although...my husband won't even talk about "if it's a boy" lol I said, "have you thought about what we would name another boy?" He's like, "nope not even going there."

Sooooooo I REALLY hope we get a girl or this child might go nameless for a while! We had the hardest time with DS2s name so another boy is gonna be impossible. Lol

Bethwade great news on the heartbeat!! Your cravings don't mean anything in terms of gender so don't worry about that! Good luck staying team green. I'm tempted to do that too....

Thx! I hope so 💜 Maybe it just means I was super deprived of protein? That would be good ;) I'm so happy for you Steph!! Have you gone for your first us yet? Yay for team green! The idea of my husband calling the gender at delivery makes me happy so I think that's what we will do. I've got a little pooch already too :)

I love the idea of team green for the same reason - we will see, not decided anything yet...

[SamS_TTCPink]

I'm so sorry for your loss girliedreamz. What heartbreaking news. My DH was the same, he was supportive but just didn't "get it", but do know you have so much support and understanding on here.

Rest and try to relax while you recover and I'm sure when you're ready to TTC again, you will get your sticky rainbow.

Thinking of you xxxxx

[BlessedMomma]

Im almost 6 weeks and I am always hungry!! Anybody else starving all the time??? I ate 4 meals yesterday and snacked in between :oops:

[Aoii1711]

Blessedmomma, I am almost 9 weeks and I've been just recently getting hungry. But nothing is sounding good most of the time. I am just nauseous and I think food will help but it doesn't! 😔

I do have my first dr appt today and can't wait to see this little baby!! I'm so excited!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Georgia_Peach]

I was doing so well with managing throwing up by taking declectin and eating every couple hours. But last night we had to put my furry baby to sleep after having him for 14 years. It devistated me and now i cannot eat and am throwing up. Im not sure how to get through this. I am still so sad and just stressed.

[odd]

Oh man robin. So sorry to hear that. .it's heartbreaking to let someone go :-(

[odd]

Hi ladies, I'm about 8 wks 2 days along. Have been nauseous on and off since about 6 weeks and have a complete aversion to food right now. I only eat coz I have to but everything makes me gag.

I hope this passes soon coz I'm not the one to everrr turn food down lol.

[odd]

Oh and have my first appt on Thursday 7/31. Yayy

[stephk]

Robin I am so sorry to hear. Take care of yourself. Hugs to you.

I am also very hungry all the time and feeling sick a lot but especially when really hungry. My lower back has gone as well, way too early for any of that to happen! Hope it's a temporary blip from exercising and not the back pain I had from 11 weeks onward last time!!

I remembered I had another digital test in my drawer, thought I may as well POAS to check all is ok and it said pregnant 3+ so feeling a bit reassured as I'm so paranoid despite feeling so rough!!

[BlessedMomma]

Aoii I hope ur nausea goes away soon, but yay about ur ultrasound :) its so exciting to b able to see ur baby.

[Sunflower3]

Had my first appointment yesterday. Baby measured 2 days ahead and heart rate was 158. I'm elated!! My two losses I didn't make it this far! I'm 7w 3d today.

[BlessedMomma]

Im sorry for ur loss robin :( I know its hard, still try to force urself to eat if u can so u dont get sick.

Odd I hope u feel better soon. The first trimester is always rough.

Stephkhopefully ur back stops bothering u soon.

Oh the joys of early pregnancy :)

[BlessedMomma]

Thats great sunflower, u have a strong bean in there. Sorry about ur previous losses :(

[odd]

Awesome news sunflower ♡

[Two of a Kind]

So sorry for your loss robin :(, must be heartbreaking xx

Ms sickness is just horrible, hope every one is coping :).
Congratulations sunflower, I had a dating scan on Monday & was seven weeks " due date is the 18th of March". :)

[Sunflower3]

So sorry Robin.
My sickness is horrible too. Not vomiting but sick all day and soooo tired. I force myself to eat. I miss my coffee but can't stand the thought of drinking it.
Awesome news two of a kind! I'm due march 14th!

[SamS_TTCPink]

So sorry for the loss of your furry friend Robin. Take some time to remember and relax and do try to eat little bits when you can. 😢💜

Unfortunately my friend and my Nan both had to put to sleep their doggies last week and I'm not sure how much longer were going to have our 16yr old foxy. 😢

I am feeling really nauseous all the time and nothing I eat seems to make it any better, I wasn't sick at all with any of the others, except the twins, so I'm not used to it. 😜

[Sunflower3]

Same here mum. I am awfully sick all the time.
Hoping it means great things for both of us!

[BlessedMomma]

Wow every1 seems to b suffering from ms except me (yet) it would b a nice change not to have it, but then again its also reassuring when u do.

[Aoii1711]

Sorry for your loss Robin! It's so hard when we lose a pet! They really are like family. Try to take care!

I just went to my first appt and got to see my little baby! Everything looks great!

I hope everyone starts to feel better I'm still pretty nauseous all day but at least I'm not throwing up at least not yet. I'm 8 weeks now so hopefully it will start to ease up. My due date is March 7th, although the baby measured 4 days behind my calculations so I don't know if that changes anything.

This is my first pregnancy with morning sickness at all, it's kind of awful, I'm not sure I would have opted to do this 4 times if I had this with my first 3 lol It wasn't so bad, but then they put me on progesterone as a can't-hurt precaution, now it's awful. 7 weeks today :)

[stephk]

blessed - when I feel OK I get paranoid someting is wrong, when I feel rough I think 'i am sure it wasnt this bad last time....' lol - cant win.

I told my brother and niece last night my news and my niece (who is 8) said - why are you having another baby, isnt joseph good enough? bless. Her mum is currently PG and I think she is worried that she wont get any attention from her mum. My brother and her split a long time ago so I have no contact with her other than what my brother and niece tell me. I am pretty upset that she has smoked throughout her pregnancy and continues to smoke :(

[MamaLuv]

BlessedMomma we have the same due date and I'm totally bloated!

I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and I'm showing! I have to wear certain clothing just to hide it! Granted this is #4 but still sheesh! Showing at 5 weeks?!

New symptom, I've off and on felt nauseous over the past couple of weeks but nothing I can't handle. For the most part I've been feeling good. I think the sickness may kick in week 6 or 7. BUT my boobs are super sore! I don't recall ever having sore boobs with my others. I took off my bra last night and said OUCH!!!!! I must have on a bra or my nipples hurt like heck!.......I also tried to eat a rib last night and it was so disgusting to me! My cravings for salads and sweets seem to be the best thing for me at this point.

[SamS_TTCPink]

I'm showing too MamaLuv! Even DH looked at me tonight and said I look pregnant. I do, I look 6 months along! 😕

[Sunflower3]

Me too. I woke up today and look like I popped!

[laVieEnRose]

Robin, so sorry for the loss of your pet. Big hug

I too have had ms -it starts at about 11.30am till the evening. I have this horrible sweet disgusting taste in my mouth and throat. No matter how much I brush my teeth or chew gum it's there. Water tastes strange too, everything is yucky but I still eat as I feel less sick when I eat - but then feel too full!
I'm def showing but more in a 'fat kind of way'. It's not a proper firm bump its just flabby! And I'm sure my butt has doubled it's size lol!

Sorry I haven't been much around...can't seem to find 5min with school holidays! X

[Georgia_Peach]

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Its been tough. Especially for the kids. I had to force myself to eat. I too look chunky. Im not looking forward to gaining anymore weight!

[odd]

Hi everyone. .I posted in the other thread and thought of updatig this one too. I'm so excited but no one share the excitement with.

I had my first appt today and everything looks great. Baby measures right on target with due date of 8th March still. Heartbeat was nice and strong at 167.

I ovulted from left and have my placenta on left so kinda hoping and praying that ramzi theory works in my case.

Hope everyone else is doing well and getting ready for the weekend

[crazycatcouple]

Congrats Odd!! That's fantastic news :-) Who did you ask to find out about placental placement and which side you ovulated on? I don't know much about the Ramzi theory, but it's still fun to check it out!

[odd]

The ultrasound tech pointed it out for me upon asking. She wss very thorough and patient with me lol. I have a cyst on my left overy and told me that's where I had ovulated from.

[Georgia_Peach]

Oh i totally forgot to aak that! I have my 12 week in aug... im going to ask then. They say ovulated from left =girl?

[odd]

Not sure about ovulation but they say placenta position is what matters and left=girl.

It could all bs for all I know but really hoping its true in my case lol

[Georgia_Peach]

Good to know! Interesting either way :)

Kitkat you are welcome here anytime!! Hope you get your BFP in the next few days so you can "officially" join :)

Sorry I haven't been here much recently, I can't really log on from work anymore due to my new desk position and my family have been here for the past two weeks so I haven't really been able to get up to much in the evening either. Been great to see them but they leave today and it will be nice to have just me and DH to cook for now until the next instalment of visitors in a few weeks!

Feeling sick, have motion sickness, off a lot of food right now. Yesterday I had a pack of spelt and veggies for lunch lol!!

[unwirklich]

I'm getting the whole look pregnant when I know the baby is way to small to make me show yet too. Maybe it's all the cookies I can't seem to stay away from lol

I've had a rough week. I keep having alternating dreams. One night I'll dream about a beautiful baby girl, the next about miscarrying. I'm scared that the progesterone will mask it if I do lose it...very neurotically awaiting being far enough along to use my home doppler.

[BlessedMomma]

Glad to see u back steph! Its nice when u get ur home back to urself.
Congrats princess and welcome!
Unwirklinch I know its hard especially because of ur past losses , try not to worry (easier said then done) im sure u have a healthy bean growing in there :)
The first trimester is always tough but I keep reminding myself whatever will happen is out of my hands.

Now I have to ask is anyone moody? I have been so impatient and easily irritated lately, its bad. Everything ticks me off lol

[Georgia_Peach]

20108

Im kinda excited! ! Ijust read the ramzi's theroy and it said if you have u/s done at 6-8 weeks transvaginally and look at the yolk sack position it can help predict gender. Yolk sack is that big ball on either side of baby. My ultrasound tech confirmed that. Left side of baby = girl
Right side of baby = boy.
I know its not confirmation or anything but mine is clearly on the left! I sure hope its right..

[Aoii1711]

I've missed a lot on here! Glad everyone is doing great! I just had my u/s this week too. Here is mine. I think that means girl??? I don't know much about the Ramzi theory... http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/01/buhy2ame.jpg

Aoii i think yours means girl too bc yolk sack is on left? Its hard to tell where yours is but deff not on right!! Who knows if theroy is right but fun to see if its true!

Hi ladies I'm also joining you I'm due 30th March but not had a scan yet but got a private one booked for the 14th August which I'm looking forward too just hope they will see something in there! Feeling really nauseous and tired and my bbs are really tender so all good signs I hope! Let's hope some more ladies join here soon! :)

[stephk]

Welcome girl dreaming and congrats!!! Your scan is 2 days after mine :) I can't wait :)

[BlessedMomma]

Aww odd thats so exciting when ur able to share the news.
Welcome girl dreaming!
When do u ladies plan on telling every1 ur pregnant? Assuming everything goes well im 6wks2days , I will probably tell at 9 weeks. I will be on vacation in europe at that time and if I have a bump at 9 weeks, which im expecting I will. It will b hard 2 keep it a secret in bikins and tight summer clothing. Plus im thin so any kind of bump is noticable right away.

[Georgia_Peach]

I already told my whole family. Im ten weeks now. At 12 im announcing on social media to friends!

[odd]

Oh that's great robin. I just didn't feel comfortable having had a miscarriage in the previous month. I wantrd to see for myself in us before making an announcement and that toi only strictly family

Friends will have to wait u ntil after 13 weeks

So ladies...I told a few co-workers today that I'm expecting and one says "FOUR KIDS?! Are you crazy!"....I'm trying to act right but I want to go off. I'm over here stewing. That's incredibly rude! Maybe it's my hormones but I feel like giving her some 'TUDE! :nono:

[hotdogz&boyz]

Congrats to all the new BFPs!! I forget to check all the threads for new posts :suprise:

And yeah, negative comments about four kids seems to be a big thing. My mom even was talking to her dad (80 years old, father of five living, lost a full term 4-day old who would have been #6). He said that even back in the 60s they got a ton of flak when they told people they were expecting my mom (the last). People said "On gosh, you are crazy" and "HOW many are you going to have??" Which surprised me that even back then people had a negative response to big families. I thought it was more the norm, but apparently not.

We have not told too many people (8weeks today), but I am so lucky because of the people we have told (two aunts, my mom/dad, my granddad, two friends), only one (an aunt) had a negative response. And I think hers was more out of jealousy because her DILs don't enjoy pregnancy and she will be "lucky" to have three grandchild total (she already has two, one is planning one more, one is done at one). Additionally, she wanted another child back when she was having kids, so I wonder if she just feels some envy that we agreed on a big family.

But, regardless, it's never okay to comment on a persons family size. Unless they live with you and you are paying for their kids, it's no ones business.

I am itching to try to find the HB on Doppler. I doubt I would be able to, so I haven't tried, I am quite certain ill have another anterior placenta. Thus making it even harder.

And I hate to burst the Ramzi people's bubble, but most transvaginal sonograms are reversed (meaning the right side of the picture is actually the left side of the body). And additionally, the second of the two pictures (sorry, I don't remember screen names) is a saggital image, likely. Since the sac is so round. Unless the tech said "You placenta is developing on the left/right" it's impossible to tell from a pic. But, if it excites you and gives you hope...great! Keep hold of that! Might as well feel happy about it, even if it doesn't mean much :)

[Georgia_Peach]

Mama luv i hear you! My one cousin (who i think is jealous) said" so are you guys going to stop having babies now or what? !" Another person asked if it was planned like im some kind of teenage mom or something m i was insulted by both comments. People can be very weird when ut comes to pregnancy i find.

[crazycatcouple]

Congrats Kitkat!! So glad you can officially join us :-) No dating scan for us. Our doc doesn't even do anything to confirm pregnancy until the NT scan at 12 weeks, which I thought was sort of strange.

People can be so rude! How dare they comment like that...you are obviously overjoyed to be having this baby, so they need to just shut it. I love seeing all the big families on here :-) I always wanted 3 or 4 kiddos, but hubby is dead set on 2 only, and I suppose there is compromise in marriage, so we will likely stop at 2. I'm more okay with that now though, but there are times that I get a little sad about it still. He has good reasoning, and for our situation it makes sense, but I always loved having a large family growing up, and so it sort of stinks my kids won't get that.

[stephk]

I cannot believe the rudeness of some people!! Why does anyone think they have the right to opine, in a rude/intrusive/interfering way about other peoples family sizes!!

We have only told a few family members and friends who have been very happy for us. I would have preferred to tell less people as it's so early but DH can't keep quiet. I am showing too (am only 7 weeks...started showing a bit at 8 weeks last time) so it won't be long until my colleagues guess. Hopefully they will be too polite to say anything until I'm ready!! But I might have to tell my boss because I'm finding functioning a bit difficult at the mo!! One good thing is that my boobs are fuller yay!

As for dating scan, we are offered a dating scan at 12 weeks on nhs and I have also arranged a private scan next week because I can't wait....

[Princess of Pink]

People can be so rude! I am telling people who I know will be rude either via text message or Facebook so I don't have to stress about their reactions. I have only told 4 people who I knew would be super happy for me...all friends and not family lol.

I have my dating scan in a little over 2 weeks at 8 weeks, can't wait. Have booked my Harmony test at 10 weeks and NT Scan at 13 weeks. Gonna see this little baby a lot over the next few months which is great! The place I am going to uses 3D/4D for all u/s's even the one at 8 weeks. The tech there is very into the nub theory and gives guesses at your NT scan. You also get a disk of all the pics each time.

No morning sickness yet but I am exhausted and my boobs are getting fuller and tender. I'm a POAS addict so still testing every few days and that line is getting darker every time so feel pretty good about it. It's 2 or 3 times darker than the control line now. It's going fast...but slow at the same time!

[Two of a Kind]

Yes I had a dating scan with all mine, never 100% sure of dates as usually conceive with first PPAF :)

Interesting about Ramzis, had abdominal ultrasounds with all. Can't find #1 DDs scan, but #2 & # 3 DS1 & DS2 were both right &
the tech did say last week bubs was developing on the left? But not holding to much faith in the theory :) x

[kitkat18]

Hey guys thanks for sharing regarding dating scans!
People are so rude, im a little worried about telling people and hearing their comments. Is everyone finding out gender? Xx
Sent from my Windows Phone 8S by HTC using Tapatalk

[kitkat18]

Okay just told my bestie, and of course gender came up and whether i will be finding out etc, I kind of ended up blabbing on!!
I wish gender didn't have to cone up quite so early. Have to tell a big group of friends as we are all going to Sydney any good suggestions of how to handle will you be finding out the gender? question.

You could say "oh, I dunno. Haven't thought about it. We just want a happy, healthy bub and gender isn't something were concerned about" 😕

[kitkat18]

Good one Mum!! How are you doing??
Xx
Sent from my Windows Phone 8S by HTC using Tapatalk

[stephk]

Literally everyone who knows has asked me if we will find out the gender. And I have told the truth, that I like the idea of a surprise but I am not sure whether I will be able to wait. So I will decide at the time of the scan whether I want to know or not.

I know myself and I will likely want to know but at the same time, I am keeping it in reserve so that if I do find out and its a boy I can then decide whether to tell people I know, or lie and say I am leaving it as a surprise. Just to defect anyone feeling sorry for me or whatever, which I dont want.

Given how much I am showing already it probably is another big boy growing in there!!

[stephk]

oh on the subject of panorama tests, they are available privately in the UK but cost £500 so I will be skipping that, way too expensive!! They do the NT stuff at the 12 week scan.

[SamS_TTCPink]

I won't be having the panorama type tests either. Although now available in Australia, I can't get it in Canberra unless I'm a serious high risk and under the care of a specialist OB. I can go to Sydney and pay $1200 or Melbourne and pay $500. Won't be happening. 😕

[Georgia_Peach]

We will be finding out gender on sept 5. Via 3 d ultrasound hopefully. But i haven't decided if we are going to be telling anyone except our kids. Its a tough call bc if its a girl i will want to shout it from the roof top. But if its a boy i dont want peoples pitty and sad faces. Not sure what to do.

[Aoii1711]

Robin when is your due date? I can't find out until 16 weeks. I have to wait until the 19th I think.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[crazycatcouple]

We will definitely be finding out because I am such a planner and anyone who knows me knows that, lol. We're 10 weeks along and pretty much anyone who we we interact with on a regular basis, plus family, knows already. We'll announce online probably after our 12 week scan. When people ask about gender, most of my close friends know we swayed, but even people that don't I tell them it would be nice to have a little boy, if it was a perfect world and we could choose, however a healthy baby is #1 and there are pluses to having another girl as well, so we will be happy either way of course. Which most of that is true, but I do downplay just how much we'd like it to be a boy. Even still, hubby and I have been talking a lot lately about how it wouldn't be so bad if it was a girl. I think because we know this is it for us, we're trying to get on board and be happy about either gender, even though I know we both deep down really really want a blue bundle.

We won't be doing any of the blood work. Our doctors haven't even mentioned it as an option, which I'm assuming is because I'm not high risk, but we might do an early sneak peak 4d ultrasound at 16 weeks. It's $100 and we're on the fence. It's only 4 weeks difference, but at the same time, I know it will really kick us into high gear as soon as we find out, which would be nice. We have a lot to get ready for with this one, and right now we're still really dragging our feet. Plus, if we find out at 16 weeks we'll know when we go on vacation, which might be fun :-) Otherwise our 20 week scan will be right after we get back. We shall see...

Robin, I'm from California and here the earliest is 16 weeks. But I have my nt scan at 13 weeks and with my son I was positive he was a boy then so I'm hoping to see something at 13 weeks.

I dunno but the 3d one im going to and paying for is at 15 weeks. We will see if they can tell gender.:)

[crazycatcouple]

Yeah, I'm in FL and my doc said they normally do 16 weeks, but that we could do 15 if we wanted, so I'm sure you'll see what you need :-) So exciting!!

[lyngostar]

Hi everyone. I haven't been on much lately as we were on holiday at dhs cousins up in the north of Scotland. The signal up there is terrible. Lol.
Well I had a lot of pain on the Friday before we left for our holidays. I was convinced it was another miscarriage. We went straight to a and e. They couldn't really do much but their tests said I was still pregnant but there was blood in my urine. I was so sure I would wake up to blood but I didn't. I've still had no blood :) and my hcg is still high. I'm getting a scan on Thursday and hoping they see a healthy sticky beans.

[BlessedMomma]

Good luck lyngostar. I hope the scan goes well.
Im on vacation in europe with family and dont always have cell service so I wont b able to come on much til september. I hope every1s dating scans goes well. Im at the 7 week mark and still very little symptoms. Hoping its not a bad sign.

[odd]

Abi, so happy for you. It'll be nice ti get a confirmation

Lyngostar, glad to hear all is well.

Blessedmomma..enjoy your vacation. .am sure everything will be ok

As for me, I'm so ready for ds to go back to school. Being a sahm and now being pregnant, plus packing to move houses, its soooo exhaisting. Ugghh. Plus I have such a food aversion rogjt now that I just don't wanna cook even though I'm hungry

My next scan is on Aug 27th..I'll be 13 weeks...can't wait ♡

[unwirklich]

Lyngo if the blood is in your urine, it could be something like an urinary track infection or kidney stones maybe? Specially if you're having side pain. Hope all is well.

For me, I got impatient and have tried my doppler the last few days, nothing, which I know likely means nothing. All my loses have been before week 8 so I guess I'm just scared and hoping for that confirmation. My first loss was missed, and it was so horrible to expect to get to see the baby at that first ultrasound and find out I'd been carrying a dead baby for almost 3 weeks. This time we did see a heart beat at 6 weeks, but then if my missed loss was measuring 8 weeks, that baby likely had a beat too before it was lost.

[lyngostar]

Thanks unwirklich. I will ask next time I'm at the early pregnancy unit. I think at the time we all just thought the blood was the start of a miscarriage so didn't really look in to it coming from anywhere else. It wasn't blood we could see. It must have showed up in the test.
Oh that must have been horrible to have that at you 1st scan. Are you getting anymore scans before 12 weeks? I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and I'm glad I'm getting a scan just to make sure everything is ok. I would hate to get to 12 weeks and then discover that the pain I had was something going wrong.

[hotdogz&boyz]

I've been nervous and trying the Doppler too Unwirl. Nothing yet and I am right along the same EDD as you. I think it's a tad early. But I am nervous about a missed miscarriage too (we had one in 2010). Hopefully all is well in both our bellies :)

[lyngostar]

I've thought about buying a Doppler but I think I would worry myself sick if I couldn't find the heartbeat. When can you start using it?

[crazycatcouple]

How far along you you ladies? An old coworker of mine gave me her doppler when we were pregnant last time. It's a pretty good one I think too. I tried a couple of times pretty early around 7 and 8 weeks, but the battery light was on too, so I didn't worry too much when I couldn't find anything. We finally got new batteries for it over the weekend and heard the heartbeat when I was 9w5d. Of course that was the same day I had that bleeding and then couldn't find it at all that same evening which terrified me, but have now since found it each morning since then. I've heard 10 weeks is fairly promising that you can find something, which seems to be accurate for me. The one she gave me retails for $350, but you can rent them for much less, which might be worth it to you ladies. Or I've heard there are some for sale for as little as $30, but I just don't know how accurate they can be at that price, ya know? With our last pregnancy, I would listen for her almost every night until I was to the point that I could feel her moving instead. I have a feeling I'll be doing the same with this one - it just gives me a little peace of mind.

[MamaLuv]

I'm definitely finding out! I can do an early scan at 17 weeks for $100. I'm debating on whether or not I'm going to do that. I don't want to risk any disappointments early on should it be another boy. At the same time, I would at least get to know. I'm on the fence about it. They are checking for the heartbeat the next time I go. That makes me SO NERVOUS with all the if it's above 150 that means a girl and if below that it means a boy. I'm so nervous about hearing what it is...

[crazycatcouple]

MamaLuv, if you google heartbeat and gender, you'll find more women that had the opposite of that than those who that was right for, so I wouldn't put much stock into it. Supposedly so much of it also depends on when you hear it too because the heartbeat is supposedly faster earlier on and then settles down further into the pregnancy. Of course saying all that, it was true for my last pregnancy, but hoping it's not always true because when I counted myself the other day, baby's heartbeat was 165 and we're hoping boy.

[unwirklich]

I tried mine the first time at like 7w5d, the net shows some women finding um that early, but I sure didn't. I think 9-10 weeks is more standard. I have a sonoline B one. It was like $50 on Ebay. ATM I don't have health insurance. I had post-partum coverage on my last loss for a month of this pregnancy and got the ultrasound and a first prenatal appointment, now I'm waiting on my new coverage for this pregnancy to be approved. (It's a state program for just kids and pregnant women) I don't know if they'll do another ultrasound until 20 weeks or so. As far as I know unless medically necessary my insurance only covers a dating scan and an anatomy scan. Maybe they'll give me one because I'm on progesterone though, to check on the placenta formation before taking me off it. That would still be 12-13 weeks, and I'm only 8w1d today. Doing my best to stay positive. I have no signs of miscarriage, MS is still going strong and from what I've read that's HCG not progesterone.

[odd]

Yeah. I also got excited because this beans hb was 167 at 8 wks and my son was always in 140s...but then googled and found out it's pretty 50/50. I wouldn't put Much stock in the hb

[Aoii1711]

Mama.. Just a FYI.. Both my boys heartbeats were above 150 all the time!!

Literally everyone who knows has asked me if we will find out the gender. And I have told the truth, that I like the idea of a surprise but I am not sure whether I will be able to wait. So I will decide at the time of the scan whether I want to know or not.

I know myself and I will likely want to know but at the same time, I am keeping it in reserve so that if I do find out and its a boy I can then decide whether to tell people I know, or lie and say I am leaving it as a surprise. Just to defect anyone feeling sorry for me or whatever, which I dont want.

Given how much I am showing already it probably is another big boy growing in there!!

We are still team green over here too but it's going to kill me lol. I've been looking up the Ramzi method stuff for fun, but I still really don't want to deal with the disappointment right away. Everyone we've told thinks we are crazy for not finding out, ha. But I'm afraid it's another boy too bc I'm already rounder than with my boys and I'm staaaaaaarving all the time!

We are on vacation at the beach this week so I'm trying to just relax and not think about it. Great news is my sjogrens blood work came back negative so I don't have to worry about ssa antibodies at the moment! Go in for my 3rd us on Monday, will be 11 wks.

Glad to see so many ladies getting closer to the end of the first trimester 💜

[lyngostar]

Quick update. Scan went well. Measuring 6w6d and saw a heartbeat. :)

[bethwade]

Congrats lyngo!!

[lyngostar]

Thank you. :) I feel I can relax now.
How is everyone doing?

[Princess of Pink]

I hate this early part where you want to be excited but don't want to get attached yet….I feel like if I tell too many people or buy anything or get too excited I will jinx myself and loose the baby. It's just a waiting game now. Waiting for my first u/s in 2 weeks and then I will feel heaps better…..

[lyngostar]

I feel the same. I'm More reassured now I've had a scan. I probably won't tell people even after 12 weeks. I love keeping it a secret. Haha.

[Princess of Pink]

Last pregnancy I didn't tell my family until 20 weeks…was a nice secret!

[lyngostar]

I had told my family but hadn't told all my work mates. Just a few. I was past 20 weeks by the time they knew. Lol. But it saved all the questions and the " should u be lifting that" type comments.

[unwirklich]

I ended up telling everyone lol I found out I was pregnant the morning of my brother's wake. I tested just to be sure I could drink. I knew if I tried to just say I didn't want to drink I'd be pestered endlessly all weekend (it was a camp out) so I just spilled the beans to about 80 friends and family...word got out fast from there. I was like 3w5d.

[stephk]

A few of our friends and close family know. As I see friends I will tell them if it crops up in conversation but otherwise no announcements until after the 12 week scan.

I have put on 2kg now and 1.5 inches round my waist, plus my boobs have gone porno!!!

[kitkat18]

Hi ladies, lyngostar congrats on a healthy heartbeat, I have told close friends and family , mainly as I am on a girls trip to Sydney no drinking!! Everyone has been really happy for me which is lovely!
Still no MS but not even 5weeks...just really tired, gassy, crampy, Oh the joys ....
Stephk I think I will be the same with the rate I am eating!!! Porno boobs cracked me up.... I WISH me had some big boobs!! Xx

Normally I'm a 32c so not big at all!! Last pregnancy I went from 36b to 36d around now lol. Then when DS was born I was 36e!! Shame we can't keep these bigger boobs hey :)

Enjoy the girls trip to Sydney - we are on our way to Warminster for our wedding anniversary. Stopping off at stone hens very soon for a picnic :)

I'm 36dd normally and it's quite embarrassing how ginormous these babies look right now. I'm still trying to squeeze into my regular sports bras but will have to give in and buy some that fit...ugh

[odd]

How awesome that yoi guys get to vacation so frequently. Its been good few months since we took even a mini trip and hubby won't even bother with another one

[Aoii1711]

I've told quite a few people. Only if I see them though. I haven't really called people up or announced it on Facebook or anything yet. I'll wait until I'm 12 weeks for that. I'm at 10 weeks now and today I actually feel a little better. But the minute I say I'm feeling ok is when it hits me and I'm back to the nauseous feeling. I have my nt scan in about 4 weeks and my gender scan in 6!! I can't wait!

I am praying for a girl.. My 3 year old son the past few days keeps talking to the baby girl in my belly and I keep telling him that it could be a baby boy and he will not acknowledge that at all and insists it is a baby girl. Every time I ask him what if it's a boy he just says no mom it's a girl. 😁 last night he even prayed and told God that he wants a baby girl in my belly! I'm hoping he is right!

Awww..that's sweet aoii. My son is sort of the same way - he insists its a girl because he wants an sister not a brother.

I am so sick of feeling nauseous. .ugh..have a major food aversion but starving at the same time. I xan only digest watermelon and peaches as of now.

Have only puked maybe 3 times but this constant nausea is just exhausting.
