Due in Sept/Oct/Nov 2015

[Keshet]

Thanks everyone! I am so grateful for you all. The genetic counselor was trying to talk me out of NIPT if I was going to do amnio anyway. But, I continued to ask about the NIPT. She said that I could possibly get denied coverage of the amnio if I have a negative NIPT. So I asked about out of pocket prices. She said that the counsyl test, which is their typical test was something like $795. So I said that I thought there was a $200 test. So she pulled out another form and lo and behold harmony is $195. So I went ahead with harmony out of pocket. Thank you so much for your advice. And my NT scan looked good. It was so cool to see him squirming around. I'm calling it a him because I am assuming that it must be a he.

[Keshet]

11 weeks but baby has been measuring 4 days ahead consistently so little dude must be big. Haha

Rosie, I'm so glad that we are in this thread together after all the past difficulties for both of us.

[Rosie85]

I agree keshet!! Glad you got all your testing figured out and in place. I am sure it will all come back good!!

$195! That is a great price. Does that take into account your insurance? I don't have insurance (and I live in Canada) and the lowest price I could find was through the MaterniT21 company- $425.

Please share the details! If I can get the same test for less that would would be great!

That's great news Keshet!

2 boys, I am in Canada also, and my panorama was $795, and my friend had the harmony which was about the same. I have read conflicting things about the materniT21, like it had more inaccurate results? Maybe it is just because it has been around longer therefore having a longer time more people to have wrong results. Plus I know you can't always believe what you read on the internet, as most of this info was from message boards.
My Dr. Said panorama was superior, and that's why I chose it. Trust me, it's not like I can afford an extra $795, had to take a vacation payment with my mortgage company to afford it, but I felt it was the best and totally worth it :)

Good luck with whatever you decide!

[2boysJustOneGirl]

I can't afford anything really! I will stick with the MaternitiT company I think. They offer screening for 3 trisomies and gender for $425. I have read a ton of info about which is best and it's hard to imagine that one lab has superior results as compared to another when they are all competing in the same market and for the same goal- screening for genetic disabilities. I would never say that bc my screening came back negative I will be having a disability free baby. The test are not designed to diagnose. If I got a positive result I would consider further testing. Anyway I am getting the test for gender determination (mostly) and that is supposedly a very simple lab test. When you get into the trisomies I think there is room for more error.

I will be testing on March 30. [emoji15]

It was the cash price for Harmony. I called them and confirmed by phone.

[maidentomother]

The Panorama is the best but the other tests are only slightly inferior. All of them are highly accurate, especially vs older tests.

[Rosie85]

Anyone else getting braxton hicks already?? I have been noticing them for about 2 weeks now. No clue you could get them this early but i looked it up and they in fact generally start around 8 weeks..most women just dont notice them. Crazy! My nausea is loads better...i still get moments though especially after eating too much.

Its been a while since my scan and im getting nervous again about the baby. Wish i had a doppler! I also just found out my clinic is closing so i had to find a new doctor...how annoying!

How is everyone else doing?? It is still so slow on this thread!!

Rosie, if you have an iPhone, try downloading the free app called "baby's beat". You can actually hear the HB or at least see the numbers displayed through the microphone of an iphone.

I have been getting the contractions too. Really scary. But normal, I think. I think that only if they get really painful or regular is it a problem.

[Rosie85]

I do not have an iphone. Does that really work this early though?? Seems too soon!

The braxton hicks dont worry me other than they will probably be painful when i get further along. Haha.

[tarasue]

I had my first ultrasound yesterday, I was pretty underwhelmed:(. I am almost more nervous now than I was before. The image was mostly a yolk sack with I itsay bitsy fetal pole and a tiny flicker of a heartbeat. I an 6w today by my calendar, baby was measuring a little behind. The sonographer said her computer doesn't date under 6w, so I didn't even get a measurement from them. Which is bogus, because with the baby I lost I had a scan at 7w, same sonographer, same room, same computer, and was told that baby was measuring 5w4d.....

Hb was 112, they like to see it above 120, so I go back in a week for a rescan.

Only reassurance I have is how sick I feel. My prayers are huge, that this baby sticks!!!

[Rosie85]

Sorry the scan wasnt overly reassuring to you tarasue. My fingers are crossed for you! I bet baby will be just fine...a heart beat is always a good sign and so is the sickness!

[XXforhubby]

Praying that everything turns out ok Tarasue!!! Keep us posted!

[QueenB3blue]

Tarasue- sorry your ultrasound didn't go as well as you wanted:( at least you get to go back in a week! 6 weeks is early!!! I have read lots of stories of the heartbeat not even being heard at 6 weeks. I am sure next week will go much better. FX

I finally called to get my first appointment scheduled today. April 2 I go in for an ultrasound. I will be 13+ weeks. They couldn't get me in to see my midwife until a week later:-/ the receptionist didn't seem to pleased that I waited so long to call......
Oh well

Rosie- glad your nausea is getting better are you using unisom/b6?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Rosie85]

I stopped with the unisom and b6. So it is just clearing up on its own...hopefully it doesnt mean anything bad.

Tarasue now that i think of it i think 112 is a good heartbeat especially if it just started...they didnt date you so that part is unknown for them to say they expect it to be 120. The heart starts slower then speeds up. Next weeks visit will hopefully bring a high heart rate!

[Rosie85]

Xx are you going to be joining us?! When is your due date...wasnt sure if it was late nov or early December. You are welcome to stay even if it is December! !

My due date based on my LMP is 12/3, but my cycles are 21-24 days long. My due date based on when I Oed is 11/28. So I guess I'm in between!

I will start a new thread when we get more BFPs.

I'm still in shock!

I go in on 4/1 for beta HCG BW. I am praying for high numbers! Not too high though. With DS2 my numbers at 5 weeks was almost 9000! They immediately sent me for an ultrasound to rule out twins!

DH is worried I am pregnant with twins because of my dark HPTs! I would love twins!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Rosie85]

They were pretty dark! Twins would be exciting!! I prayed for them but after 2 scans i still have only just 1 baby. Haha.

[XXforhubby]

Going out to dinner and going to enjoy having dessert!!!!

Anyone else have a hard time switching over to eating normally after doing the LE diet? I've been on it a year now, and I am still not snacking- I'm just not that hungry.

Any advice/suggestions?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[tarasue]

Don't worry in a week or so snacking will be an absolute must!!! Mentally, I still feel guilty eating breakfast or snacking, but physically I will be sick if I don't at this point. Only thing is now, nothing sounds good and I don't feel hungry because of the nausea, but if I go ahead and eat something, I feel much better.

I'm so glad I'm having such good nausea, gives me a since of relief.

I'm so glad your joining us xx!! You've had a long road to get here, now just enjoy the ride if you can. My husband keeps reminding me that this is it! I will never be 6 weeks pregnant again, I need to enjoy it because this chapter oft life is going to be over by the end of the year.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[XXforhubby]

I am still in shock! I keep taking my temp in the morning- I will until I get my beta BW back on 4/1. I have to keep up exercise, now moderate, to ward off GD. I had late onset GD with DS2. I think it was because of not losing the last 10lbs from DS1 and gaining the same 25lbs. It was controlled by diet, luckily, and he was fine when he was born.

Now that I am 35, I don't want any silly, unnecessary interventions, so I am already doing the GD diet and exercise. Plus, I am 5lbs lighter than when I conceived DS1 and 12lbs lighter than when I conceived DS2.

Aaaaaaaaah! I can't believe this is real!!!!!

This is my last pregnancy also. I am trying not to complain about the nausea:) and am extremely anxious to start feeling this baby move!!

Wish I had a Doppler also!!!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Rosie85]

This is also my last pregnancy. I am feeling horrible today...tummy bug in the house and i must have a touch of it. Yuck!!

My cousins wife has her c section on monday...they are team green. On my moms side there are 6 grandsons and no grand daughters...i know it is silly but i wanted to have the first girl and im scared she will. Im probably having another boy and her possibly having a girl makes me so envious. Ugh.

[Rosie85]

Does anyone else itch? I am soo itchy i am literally scratching til I bleed. I have tried so many things to help and nothing works. My boibs and legs and belly are the worst. Never had this as a symptom before!

I did with DS2 and it was BAD! I found using a good body oil, followed by a cream morning and night helped a ton! Sometimes I would more cream on during the day.

I am on the search for something new this time. I am interested in Earth Mama Angel Baby stretch mark oil and cream. I may try those. I LOVE the nipple butter and diaper balm by them.

Hope you find some relief and feel better soon!

Oh yeah! I forgot about that brand. I was going to buy it this time around. Ugh!! Let me know how you like it!

I will! I'm going to order some to have on hand when I need it! Amazon is the cheapest I've found it so far.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[QueenB3blue]

I itched earlier on but not so much now. My tummy has been itching the last couple days though...
The thing I notice the most (other than the nausea) is my boobs hurt like crazy! And they seem like they are huge!! I have probably put on 5/7 lbs. Which stinks but I don't think that has anything to do with the size of my boobs!! I still am under my smallest pre-pregnancy weight.
Today I tried on a shirt at the store and thought, "Shit! I can't get this it makes me look pregnant!!!" I still have 3/4 more weeks before we are telling anyone!

Who is still exercising?

I am but have switched back to my beloved P90X3! I should finish it by the end of my first trimester [emoji3]. I'll probably continue this, modifying of course, and my T25. I also have PiYo that will be good towards the end and of course my mainstay, Yoga!

I have to keep up with the exercise to ward off GD. I want to deliver with the midwives at my hospital, but if I get GD since I am 35, I'll have to switch to one of the OBs. So here I am getting ready to work out while I am not puking yet [emoji4]!

I can't wait to be sick!!!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[tarasue]

Xx- I am modifying insanity and doing about 45 min on the elliptical, six days a week. I don't know how much longer I can keep that up, I just am so tired and feel so icky. I may switch to t25 this week. I want to keep active the whole pregnancy, hopefully my morning sickness doesn't get too much worse or I may have to back off a bit.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[keepthefaith]

I wanted to exercise but have been far too tired and sickie to even contemplate. I'm 14 weeks and for first time today went for long walk, going to try walk bit more now but really lost my mojo for exercise at mo.

I bought a Doppler and am loving using it, I heard such a strong heart beat today of 167!

Still not brave enough to buy anything pink yet but I think after 20 weeks scan I'll start then!

[Rosie85]

No exercise here other than walking.

Is it normal for period like cramping to stop before 12 weeks? I don't remember with my others when it stopped other than my last pregnancy which failed and the no cramping i thought was a bad sign. I havent had any for a week now and i am getting nervous. I hate this! !

[QueenB3blue]

I haven't had any cramping for weeks. Hopefully that is ok:-/
I feel like my uterus is growing for sure. Which is comforting that things are moving along correctly. I am getting really anxious for an ultrasound! I want to see a healthy wiggle baby!! And a super girly nub would be amazing!!!!!!!

We are planning to get a gender scan at 15 weeks. But DH keeps mentioning how he is getting really excited to find out gender. He said something about maybe going at 14 weeks. What are you ladies thoughts in the best time to get a gender scan?? Is 14 wks too early? When would you go??


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[QueenB3blue]

Oh. And no exercise here either:( I keeping thinking I will get motivated and pick up the t25. But I haven't done any strength training in forever!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[XXforhubby]

The earliest I would go for a gender scan would be 16 weeks. I want to be sure as possible.

I'm kicking around doing either Harmony or MaterniT21, since I am 35. We will see though. I'm not sure I want to spend the money on that, since I will get more than the traditional 2 ultrasounds.

We will see.

GL!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[maidentomother]

Can you just get one US and the Panorama test? That is my plan if I ever get pregnant again. I am not confident that ultrasounds are 100% safe so I want to limit them as much as possible. I wouldn't have one at all except to rule out an EP and/or twins bc of my history.

[QueenB3blue]

I would have loved to done a panorama or harmony. But I am 33 and I know insurance wouldn't have paid jack for it. DH said no way. We can go to a private ultrasound place for $65 and get a gender scan guaranteed at 14 weeks. Obviously they can get it wrong, but it is my only option really:-/ if they can't tell gender for sure they have you keep coming back for free.
I really think I will wait until at least 15 weeks;)

When did nausea set in for you ladies this pregnancy and with your previous ones?

I'm nauseous already!!!!! DS1 it set in at 9 weeks and DS2 it set in at 6 weeks.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Rosie85]

Mine set in with this one at 4 weeks but didnt get bad or steady until 6 weeks. It was horrendous from 6 to 9 weeks and then average from 9 to 10 weeks and now its slowly gotten better each day.

[QueenB3blue]

I had a nausea spell at 8 dpo this time. That's what made me take a test. I just knew I was pg then!! It didnt kick in full time until about a week later. It is the earliest I have had it! With ds1 I was 5+ weeks. With ds3 I was almost 8 weeks. And ds3 around 7 wks.
I hate having nausea at night when I am trying to sleep. After a few nights of no sleep I will take a unisom/b6 before bed and it really does help. I don't even get sick in the morning after I take it. I do second guess taking it sometimes because of my loss probably. But lots of ladies on here have taken it:)
Sorry it has kicked in so early for you! Wasn't it just yesterday I seen you post some where that you couldn't wait for the sickness to kick in! :-/

I was never sick with my other pregnancies.. this sucks!
Thanks for letting me rant. Haha!

Thanks xx! Glad to hear about your ds. I know it is silly that i worry about this but i am so paranoid!

If i was feeling better i would go in for heart tones...the wait for my next scan is killing me!

[XXforhubby]

How many weeks are you Rosie?

I hear you about worrying! I can't wait to get my Betas checked on 4/1! My OB's office said I would have the results around 3-4pm! I'll then take a sigh of relief...until the next thing [emoji6]!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

12 weeks. My scan is the same day as your betas! I am glad you will get your results back same day! Are you feeling sick again today?

[XXforhubby]

Yeah except I was for sure I was going to throw up, but I had diarrhea instead! Once that happened, the nausea got better just like morning sickness! Now the nausea is creeping back!

With both DS I had the nausea and puking, but not diarrhea! My paperwork from my OB says that diarrhea can happen in place of throwing up!

I know it is nothing I ate or being illness.

Never have been so happy to feel like crap [emoji4]!

Sorry you are sick again Rosie. My house has strep running through it again for the second time in a month. I hope I can dodge it this time also.

People can be carriers where you have subclinical symptoms, but other people get the full blown illness. Me and my boys are carriers- we have learned that our mild sore throats with a low grade fever causes other people to get strep! My poor husband gets it every time! My boys and I also do not get pink eye, poison ivy, or poison oak!

[Keshet]

I just got the call from the genetic counselor with my results from the Harmony test. I screened low risk for downs and the trisomies. I was expecting the worst given my age. I can't believe it's all good so far. I'm so relieved. So, she also had the gender information, but I told her that I couldn't hear it. The GD thing is so hard. I keep second guessing myself as to why I didn't do HT with PGD at least one more time. Everything was pointing in the direction that it wouldn't work for me. After 2 PGD failures and 4 other medicated cycles just to try to get pregnant that didn't work. I just have to believe that this this was the only way for me. Except for that little doubt. I just have to believe that I didn't have a choice and that this was something that I tried my hardest at but could not control.

[QueenB3blue]

Keshet- congrats on your great testing results! It is amazing you had the strength to pass up knowing the gender. I can definitely understand why. So are you going team green or just not ready yet to find out?? I guess the info will always be there waiting if you change your mind.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Rosie85]

Glad your testing came back low risk keshet that is wonderful news!!!

Ladies i could just cry. My cousins wife just had the first girl on my moms side. 6 boys and now finally a girl. I figured as everyone but me gets one of each but i seriously feel like throwing up because not only did they get my girl...they took my name!!! Of course they didnt know it was what i had picked out but oh man. This hurts.

[Keshet]

I'm not sure if I will be able to wait the whole pregnancy. So I may cave before then. But I think that I need to work through the fact that I am actually pregnant at my age. I didn't think that it would happen and for a long time it was a fantasy that was out of reach. In reality, I feel old and am worried about how we will manage. I'm terrified. So the first thing that I need to come to terms with is whether or not it's healthy. I will also do an amnio and will only feel much better when that and the big ultrasound is complete. Then, I need to work on my fears of how can I muster the strength to be a good parent when I am scared. Later, I will deal with the GD. I have to assume it's another boy and I need to be 100% thrilled when he gets here. But, I have 6 months to work on that.

[maidentomother]

Rosie that really sucks! I would be so upset!

Keshet, glad to hear all is well with babe and I hope it's your DG. Fx

Sorry Rosie:( and the name:(
My moms side has mostly boys also. My grandparents (moms parents) have 9 great grandsons and only 1 granddaughter. The girl came after 7 boys, and that cousin just found out she is having another girl.
My mother has 5 grandsons, 3 being mine. I would love to give her a granddaughter. If not I know my younger brother will. But they live across the country so she will hardly get to see his kids if/when he has them.
Sorry again Rosie:(

Thanks ladies...i feel so awful for being upset. If ahe would have been given another name i would be in a much better place but i feel like my hopes and dreams were just crushed. ..like if i can't use that name then it cant be a girl. My mother would love a grand daughter too and i feel awful i couldn't give that to her .

Trimester wise i thought it was 13 weeks...however my ticker says 2nd trimester At 12 weeks. Weird.

[2boysJustOneGirl]

So sorry Rosie. That is tough. And I also hear ya on not feeling good. Aside from the pregnancy stuff, I have had two wicked colds in the past two weeks and I am just wiped. I haven't exercised since Christmas because I'm just too tired and sick all the time. BLAH!

Good on ya for not getting the gender results Keshet! It's a scary time and I know the feeling of having your dreams at your finger tips. Good luck to you:)

Rosie, can you take the name anyway?

[Rosie85]

No the name is very uncommon and we are first cousins and see each other a lot and i hate having my kids have the same names as others. I went upstairs and cried into my pile of girl clothes that were all meant for her by that name. Guess i should give them to their little girl.

[XXforhubby]

Hugs Rosie[emoji20][emoji8]. I'm sure you will find an even better name that you can't imagine right now.

I can offer up my name for you to use, it is uncommon. I'm the only one in the county I live in and the only female in my state.

I have always liked it, both the meaning and being different from everyone else.

Xx-I hadn't even missed my period before I was getting waves of nausea. Weeks 4 & 5 I would feel icky in the mornings, better from 10-2, then the headache and nausea would return. At 6w it's constant nausea.... I am happy to have symptoms, but I hate feeling so nauseous all the time.

Rosie- I'm so sorry your name was taken out from under you. I've been having that fear as well. My sister is due 10 weeks before I am. She isn't sharing her names, but as soon as I told them I was pregnant again I made the names I like known. , hopefully to avoid that scenario.

I am debating doing the 10 week blood test. Part of me is dying to know that everything is ok and if we have a boy or a girl. The other part of me is scared that something is wrong and I will hear "it's a boy!" For the third time....

Mars- happy to here from you! I have been wondering if you recovered from your horse fall.

Tarasue- sorry you are feeling so nasty! Have you tried the unisom/b6? Maybe ask your dr about it? It helps me tons!

Rosie- sounds like your house needs a break from sickness! I was up most of the night also. Ds2 and ds3 are running high fevers. I started feeling achy yesterday.
Come on spring! We need you to bring good health!!

Anyone else's skin terrible? Every day I have a new blemish or two... I don't remember this with my previous pregnancies. My nausea has eased up a bit today, which makes me nervous. Monday was awful! Yesterday was better and today I can function again. I have another ultrasound on Friday, hopefully there is a good strong heartbeat then and I can relax a bit.

Count me in for the the terrible skin! Not cystic acne, (Thank God!), like I had with my boys! I'm getting the small comedones associated with dry skin. My oily skin is drying up! I'm not used to this!

My skin is definitely extra oily and my hair looks awful if I don't blow dry it. Usually I can let it air dry and looks fine.

Last night I started having mild period like cramps. I am 12+1, I am a little paranoid now. I haven't had this cramping since early on. I read that the uterus starts to move up around this time, so I am hoping that's all it is. Anyone else feeling this around 12 wks or remember it from previous pregnancies.

Queen i had a bit of cramping a few days ago but it could have been from being sick. I am sure it is nothing to worry about unless you have spotting as well.

I barely feel pregnant at all. No nausea and no sore breasts anymore. Hopefully everything is okay and its just the 2nd trimester honeymoon starting. I am still horribly sick though...i cant walk up the stairs without needing to sit for 5 minutes afterward. My house is a disaster! I cant wait to be all better.

Yep. With both of my pregnancies. Totally normal. For me, it felt more like a muscle cramp or an overextended muscle not like period cramps. My abdomen felt a bit tighter then too.

So happy for you!!

Thanks for the reassurance ladies! One week from today I will have my ultrasound. I am hoping seeing a healthy babe wiggling around will help put my mind at ease:)

Rosie- sorry you can't get a break on sickness! I am hoping a second trimester "honey moon" stage hit me soon. But I would also be super nervous of lack of symptoms like you. I know lots of people that got a big break once the second trimester starts. My yuckies have always lingered a little longer.

XX- do you know when you will get an ultrasound? I know you get bloods drawn next week.

Hello, all! I've been occasionally lurking but not posting. I'm 12+3 now, and everything is going pretty well, although my allergies are acting up. My OB put me on daily Zyrtec, and it really helps keep the allergy symptoms manageable. I have the NT scan tomorrow -- we're looking for abnormalities of all types, but specifically heart problems that would already be apparent like my last baby. My anxiety level is at an all-time high.

[QueenB3blue]

Here's the little nugget that's making me feel so icky!! Measuring right on 7w, exactly what my guess was considering I'm sure I felt implantation. Heart beat of 142.

This was an abdominal scan, I don't know how ramzi works, although I remember according to ds2 position he should have been a girl. I have a gut feeling it's another little boy, which a healthy, whole baby is my main goal!

I have been feeling better the past few days, probably the biggest reason I'm guessing a boy again. If I was still feeling like I did Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, I may guess it a girl.

I have spent the last week fighting a very brutal sinus cold and yesterday I was blessed with another cold, so it seems! I am so run down and just totally worn out- to top it off this is week 10. The week I miscarried last pregnancy and I am so stressed about everything, including the NIPT that will be done next week. I really just need a bit of a break- I have been working like crazy trying to pay off some debt and with DH working 13 hours a day I am it! Mom, chauffeur, full time nurse, and a lousy wife who is so tired and burnout we haven't had sex in a LONG time. Like almost a month. I am just so blah-nausea and fatigue plus what seems like a chronic cold aren't exactly preludes to an orgasm.
Anyway! That is my rant- I hope none of you feel as awful and out as this.

Aw honey! I just want to give you a hug! I sure hope you get over your cold soon. I don't think there is anything worse than being sick when pregnant!

I'm praying and have good feelings that this baby growing inside of you is healthy and your DD!

Are you doing MaterniT 21 again? I'm leaning on doing that too or asking which ones they offer at my hospital.

Will you still get the NT scan and scan at around 20 weeks? That is what they recommend for me, since I'm 35.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes I am doing the MaterniT test again. They offer a less extensive panel called InvisibiliT that looks for 3 of the most common trisomies and gender. It's the least expensive test I could find- $425

Thanks ladies! My next scan is only in May... So until then I just have to believe it...

2boys, good luck with the nipt next week. Don't worry, I won't tell you how long our dry spell was when my nausea and tiredness was at its worst (way longer than a month!). Poor DH, but I really just couldn't.

[Rosie85]

Welcome claire i sure hope this is your girl!

2boys...i was feeling that down and out until 2 days ago. All the constant sickies...yuck. dont feel bad about sex...my second pregnancy we went over 2 months! It sucks for them but they understand..we are sick and tired and growing their baby..they can be patient.

[QueenB3blue]

Tarasue! What a great scan picture. So glad you got to hear a nice strong heartbeat:) hopefully you can feel a little more comfortable with this pregnancy now.

Welcome Claire! So exciting to think you could have a little girl after 3 boys:). I have 3 boys also, hoping to give them a little sister!

2boys- sorry you are feeling so awful:( wishing your nipt comes and goes quickly. Then you can hear that baby is healthy and you get used to whichever gender you hear. Praying for a healthy baby girl for you dear;)

I am counting down the days until my first scan this Thursday. I don't know what I will do if something is wrong again:( I feel pretty pregnant though, my lower back is doing the weird cracking and popping I usually get right before my spd kicks in. My pubic bone even started to hurt yesterday.
I was doing pretty good about coming to terms with this baby being a 4th son. But then dreamt I gave birth to a baby girl and woke up aching for her. I know dreams can mean nothing, but I hear a lot that you have the opposite of what you dream about.
I feel like come Thursday I will have some idea which gender this little one is. I will be 13+1. At that point I think if it is a boy I will be able to tell. But if I don't see anything that is obvious boy then I might have a chance to hear girl.

We will see.....

My DH said with all 3 of our boys that they were boys right from the start. I don't dare ask what he think now! He said it was a girl without me asking at the very beginning. But I try and avoid the topic now!!

I hope you get your girl! It is so hard to feel the pressure from the ones you love! My boys are very vocal about wanting a little sister! So I am more afraid of disappointing them then my DH! I think it is so sweet that your DH longs for a dd so badly. I know my DH wants one but he just isn't so open about it. He actually used to say he was terrified of having a dd!!! :-/

Hello all!
My NT scan went really well! I don't know whether you remember my story or not, but I have two older girls, and my third, a boy, had a very serious and complex heart defect that unfortunately led to his passing at 6 weeks old. This is our rainbow baby, and it's been less than a year since my boy was born. The scan showed four functioning heart chambers, which my boy didn't have, and no signs of Downs or anything like that.

The only downside for me is that the tech made an early gender guess, and based on what she was seeing and the "nub theory," this baby is pretty clearly yet another girl. I know that it's still early (12+3), and that I had to be prepared for another girl, but the disappointment has set in. I'm trying to get over my disappointment with the welcome news of a happy, healthy baby. My husband is just annoyed with me for being upset; he's thrilled with another girl, although he would have welcomed a boy too. Thanks for your understanding!

[QueenB3blue]

Srg09cag11- congrats on a healthy nt scan!! 12+3 is early and still plenty of time for a nub to rise. Do you have a pic to post on the ultrasound board. Lots of ladies love to guess on there and they are pretty good!

Sorry again about your angel baby boy. I am sure he is always watching over you and your family.

I'm so sorry for your loss Srg [emoji22]. I cannot imagine...I agree that 12 weeks is still early. With both of my boys, the earliest we could tell was 13+3 and 13+6. Before that, the only clue was their skulls. They both had the classic flat area from forehead to brow bone. Do you have a pic?

I'm hoping that this is your boy!

Hey srg it does look pretty flat = girl but at 12, 3 plenty of time to rise plus it looks a little stacked ( end of nub) which would indicate a boy. Hopefully one of the experts can give you more!! Hoping its your wee dude XX

[XXforhubby]

The first one makes me think boy and the second one the nub looks girly but it seems like it is stacking/swollen. The skull makes me think boy.

Srg, I'm so sorry for your loss, that is just so sad :sad: GD gets so much worse if you've actually had your DG and then lost him/her.

I think the first picture looks really girly, but the second picture looks more boy. So 50/50 from me, not really a conclusive answer from me, sorry! Brace yourself for girl, but all hope is not lost.

[maidentomother]

srg, I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope this LO is a son. Based on the scan I think it is bc the nub looks stacked to me, and 12w3d is still early so plenty of time for that nub to rise. If you swayed I bet it's your boy, the blue stats are so great!

[QueenB3blue]

Srg, I actually guess boy off your pictures;) but I am no expert. I would definitely repost them in the ultrasound board!!
I agree with maiden that even though the first pic is flat it looks stacked:)

Hi there,

Sorry I have been MIA for a while, was busy with ds1 bday party:)
Yes, I have actually bought a couple of cute girl items, so fun! It's like I can finally legitimately go into the girls section in the stores and not feel like I'm imposing, or feeling guilty about having no reason to be there. It's such a great feeling.

Rosie, I can't believe what happened with the whole name thing, ugh, I feel so bad for you. I have always been afraid of that happening to me, and I will be until I give birth!

[Claire33]

That sucks Rosie, about the name. Is there another name you really like, perhaps a bit similar to the one you wanted?

[QueenB3blue]

Annoying thing that was said to me this weekend, "we should let Alicia hold her, that way she knows what it's like to hold a baby girl".
Grrrrrrrrrrr! This was said to me by my father in law about my niece this weekend. I know he didn't mean to be rude. People just don't think before they talk half the time! I responded with, "I am pretty sure it feels just like holding a baby boy". I bet he knew he hit a nerve of mine after I responded.
I don't even want to tell those people I am pregnant again, let alone what gender I am carrying!!!

[QueenB3blue]

No I think a lot of people prefer you to be in the 13th week. I will be 13+1 for my scan, by my calculation. I feel like if it is a boy we will be able to tell...
Exciting times!!

[Rosie85]

Okay i knew 13 was preferable but thought almost 14 weeks might be too late. I have never had an nt scan before. So nervous!! I feel like i dont want to see the nub and yet i do...

[Claire33]

QueenB, I'm so sorry for the rude comment by your FIL! If I had a dollar for every rude and not-thought-through comment I've received over the years, I would be a rich woman! People just don't realise! And now that I told my family that it's most likely a girl, I was annoyed at how delighted they were. I guess you never win!

Rosie and QueenB, 13+1 and 13+3/5 are not too late for nubs and also not too early for a potty shot if you have a willing tech! I got a potty shot and a nub shot at 13+0. So week 13 is good, even though many people say it's too early to see gender and too early for potty shot. My tech said that it is not! But I guess you need to know what you are looking for. Your run of the mill tech/gyn might not know the difference between the genders at week 13, but some will be able to tell you!

[srg09cag11]

Got my call from my genetic counselor today too! Super low odds for any of the trisomies, etc. -- actually as low as the test allows. Good stuff!

Hope everyone has equally good news at their NT scans coming up!

She did see the fluid under the neck quickly and it looked real nice and thin...hopefully that means all is good. The only pics i got are face forward. Zero nub was seen. So disappointed!

Awww I'm sorry Rosie! Will you be going back?

Hi all. Due october 9th and thought id pop my head in here.. Posted my very early nt scan to get peoples opinions in the gender predictor thread.. I have two daughters from previous relationship and ive always dreamed of a son but this is my first and probably only baby with my husband so i will happily take whatever i get.. I had to use clomid to even have this baby so im blessed to be sitting at the 13 week mark that i am.

Hope all of you are feeling well and having a good week.. I still have some nausea unfortunately... New for me with this pregnancy.. With my girls i was puking all the time from early on until 11-12 weeks.. This baby has other ideas tho as ive been super nauseated since 6 weeks with no relief..

[XXforhubby]

Thank you so much ladies for your support! Wednesday night I began to have Braxton hicks contractions, and I just thought I was experiencing growing pains like I did with DS2, around 8:00pm. I noticed a silver dollar sized red spot on my panty liner when I went to the bathroom at 8:30pm. It continued throughout the night but never increased in amount nor did I have any AF like cramps. It was gone by late morning on Thursday. I called my OB and they ordered a repeat beta HCG for today. Thursday night I noticed bright red again, only when I wiped. Never more than that and no cramping at all. By this morning it had turned to brown and only when I check, nothing on my liner and nothing when I wipe. Again, no cramping, no heavy bleeding, and no clots. My bbt went back up this morning to 99.59 after a solid night's sleep, yay (I'm one of the weird ones whose temp is lower when I get sleep)! My beta HCG taken today, 2 days later is: 32,682!

I didn't want to post anything until I had more information to go on. I'm sorry to worry all of you, but I needed your prayers and support! Thank you! I must be carrying a girl with all this unnecessary drama! DH better lookout!

I can relax a bit until Wednesday when we get to see our baby or babies!

The nurse said that I'm either further along (not possible- I had a very normal chart the previous cycle and a negative test on 2/5 before AF started on 2/6. Plus my chart this cycle also looks very normal), or we are having more than one!

[XXforhubby]

Welcome Burakoam! I hope you get some relief soon and you hear pink! I completely understand wanting a healthy baby over a specific gender!!

Keep us posted! Do you have any pics for us to take a look at to make any nub guesses?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[maidentomother]

So happy all is okay XX. I hope you see no more blood this pregnancy. How exciting about maybe twins! I agree that you definitely aren't further along.

Oh and vaginal temps should always be lower after more sleep under normal circumstances (I.e. not temping later than usual etc).

[Burakoam]

XXforhubby, Here you go :)

It was so early..they were booked ultrasound tech wise so i had to get my NT scan done at 11 weeks 4 days... I was hoping and praying baby would be an over achiever for gestational age but i got more than i bargained for because the nub looked so boyish to me that i just couldnt believe thats possible at only 11.5 weeks along....

24602

[Burakoam]

Also hard to believe what i saw now because the only frozen in time moments are the pictures where baby has butt in the air and legs up...spine so bent that any tilt in the nub makes me think its just baby and its position...the fact its so 'short' and thick at the end is the only thing keeping me going as far as thinking maybe i do have a son on the way...I nailed my O date (we should say O weekend) and had abstained from intercourse for 5 days prior so i feel i at least had a good shot at a boy.

[XXforhubby]

I can't really make out a nub from those shots (it may be too early anyway), but the skull makes me think boy.

Here is my rambunctious and snugly with mama blue dust!

Burakoam, I do think that is a (boy) nub, I think it's too low down to be a cord. But don't buy blue just yet ;)

[maidentomother]

Very boyish Burakoam!

[QueenB3blue]

XX- so glad to hear an update! Hoping you get answers on Wednesday:) 2 strong heartbeats would make since! Praying all the spotting stops and it nothing but early pregnancy craziness!!

Welcome Burakoam! Wish I felt confident to guess on your nub:-/ I am thinking what we are seeing is part of the leg. But you got a way better view when seeing the actually ultrasound;). Hope it is your boy!!

See thats what i was worried about too. Its just so boyish for 11.5 weeks that i came up with all sorts of scenarios to convince myself it couldnt be a nub.. But in my craziness i have to remember seeing that between both legs as she measured baby and would zoom in and out showing legs and arms and then just body... Legs seemed to be straighter out than that.. Like baby was pushing butt up in the air by pressing legs against uterus straight out like a stretch almost. My mom has been right on gender before we knew with both girls and she says she was there too and saw a penis not a nub on this baby and has no doubt i just have an over achiever for a son LOL. She says im in denial..

[Burakoam]

3 weeks of driving myself crazy to go... Gender ultrasound is april 25th..

[Claire33]

XX - I had bleeding like that 3 times during my previous pregnancy, I found out the placenta was low-lying, but it wasn't a serious situation and the bleeding stopped on its own. The result of that pregnancy is now 2 years old! :diaper:

I'm Crossing fingers for Wednesday!

:fx:

[XXforhubby]

Thanks ladies! It has stopped now. It was only one full day of very light spotting. It worried me because it was red but then I had two days of brown discharge. I never needed a pad or anything and it was only when I would wipe or check internally.

The nausea though is killing me! Nothing helps and it stays all day! Drinking water is somewhat helping. Ive never been so happy to feel so bad [emoji4]!

How is everyone else feeling?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Burakoam]

XX have you tried Lemon water? that may help even more than just regular water. Some of my best relief (even if it was only temporary) early on was taking a lemon and squeezing it into a bottle of water and going to town. I dont know why it worked, but it definitely helped. dont feel as icky today myself thankfully..i keep telling my husband its crazy i even still have days where im sick at this point..blah

[Claire33]

Well, I'm still feeling bad and I'm almost 16 weeks, but it's slowly getting better. This pregnancy has been hell so far and the entire family is falling apart at the seams. My DH has almost been like a single dad, as I've hardly been able to do anything other than going to work and collapsing afterwards. On my days off I've just been in bed or on the couch, feeling so sick, not being able to do housework or anything. I'm so glad it's slowly getting better now. So anyone experiencing nausea and exhaustion, you have my undivided sympathy!

[QueenB3blue]

Claire- have you ever tried taking unisom and B6? It helps;) I take it before bed. I was super nervous taking it at first, but it is said to be safe. A lot of ladies have used it from this site!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[srg09cag11]

I feel so bad for all you ladies when I'm enjoying such an easy pregnancy! Other than basically becoming narcoleptic after 9pm, I have had only two or three days of nausea. I'm still exercising several days a week, and I generally feel pretty good! My sympathies to all of you!

[Claire33]

Thanks QueenB! Unisom is an antihistamine that is also used for traveling sickness, so it stops nausea. The problem with this is that is knocks me out so completely, so then I am not able to do anything apart from sleep! I have not tried B6, but I do take a multi B-vitamine. Luckily the worst is over, but it was hell :(

[Burakoam]

I ate a medium rare steak last night...bad idea. Even though it tasted amazing going down, it was pretty traumatizing puking it back up...bloodier coming up than going down and that seemed to open a 'dam wall' of sorts because then i puked again this morning..but i hadnt eaten yet so just stomach acid and no blood which tells me that it was definitely the steak i saw coming up last night. Yuck.

I know its an old wives tale but did anyone have a pregnancy with a boy where they were sick a majority of the pregnancy or sick the whole time even? Whats throwing me off is i know every pregnancy is different but even though morning sickness is more prevelant in girl pregnancies per the old wives tale, i was done being sick by this time with both my previous girls and pregnancies...continuing to grasp at straws that the continued sickness means boy...

[Burakoam]

On a side note baby didnt let me leave the store today without a store bought/made cake, chinese, and chocolate ice cream. Weirdest combination of cravings ever, lol.

[Rosie85]

I was sick through 28 weeks with ds 2 but it stopped at 11 weeks with ds1 and 13 weeks at ds3. I am 14 weeks now and still sick. I have plenty of friends who had girls who were sick until well past 13 weeks. I don't think it means anything at all. Sorry about the pukies Bura..sounds so awful!! Hope it quits soon.

[QueenB3blue]

Burakoam- with my first pregnancy I was so sick I couldn't even get off the couch until like 13/14 weeks. I don't think I felt even ok until 17 weeks. That was ds1;) my second pregnancy was slightly better, but sickness definitely didn't go away when hitting the second trimester. I have 3 boys.
When are you finding out?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Burakoam]

April 25th!! seems like its taking forever lol

[XXforhubby]

DS1 I was sick until 14 weeks and puked a ton with him! One day alone I puked 13 times :/!

DS2 I was nauseous, the dizzy type of nausea, from 6 weeks until 30 weeks! Some days I couldn't function because I was so dizzy and wished I could just throw up!

This pregnancy the nausea set in earlier, no puking yet, and not dizzy- just all day ebb and flow nausea! Nothing sounds good to eat, but I eat!

When i was pregnant with my son i had a great pregnancy. Absolutely no problems other than i could eat chicken a short while.
It was a breeze.

This time i have broken out with acne on my face and cleavage and shoulders and have been have nausea flows since week 5.
No puking but just feeling nausea. I havent been able to take any of my vitamins yet because i feel sick after taking them..

Burakoam how exciting!! Im finding out on the 24th of April!! :-)

[Rosie85]

My morning sickness is definitely in full swing again. Eating any food at all makes me so ill. Hoping it passes in a week or two. How is everyone else doing? I still cant believe i made it to the 2nd trimester!

[Burakoam]

Angel- 1 day before me lol...so jealous. The only place that even does gender scans earlier than 20 says they dont let you make an appointment until you are 16 weeks... Something tells me id have a good idea wha this baby is next week but still have to wait 2 more weeks per their protocol :(

Rosie- hope it doesnt last too long for you..

[keepthefaith]

Hey ladies having quick catch up while enjoying the sun in majorca! Can't believe ive made it to 16 weeks! Getting big now! ��☺️

[Claire33]

How frustrating Burakoam! Will you be 16 weeks then? It looks promising for boy though :) I'm glad I found a place that does gender scans at 13 weeks, I was a complete nervous wreck.

Enjoy your holiday Keepyourfaith!

[QueenB3blue]

Smells have been a little less sensitive to me the last week or so. I still take half a unisom tablet and b6 before bed almost every night! I am glad I have found something that is somewhat relieving! But maybe if I hadn't I wouldn't have gained the weight I have gained so far......about 10 lbs! O well. I guess it is not to terrible bad for the first trimester:-/
I am glad I don't have much longer to make an announcement! Most my jeans are pretty tight around my tummy:(

Yay for the second trimester!! Rosie, have you even put on any weight? I figure with getting sicknesses through the whole pregnancy so far you have probably lost weight!!

Enjoy the sun Keepthefaith!

XX- I am excited for your scan tomorrow:)

Nope no weight gain. Lost 10 pounds. I would like to lose 10 more but that won't happen! Baby needs to eat. Haha

[Burakoam]

Claire-- I will be 16 weeks the 24th. Only reason i dont do it on that day is my daughters really want to be there when we find out and i dont want to pull my oldest out of school...so saturday the 25th it is. This friday marks 2 weeks until scan. I am so counting every day.. 17 days currently.. If my math isnt god awful like it usually is LOL

[XXforhubby]

I copied this from the other due date thread: We saw only one baby! We saw the fetal pole, yolk sac, and the heartbeat! The heartbeat was 137 bpm! I am measuring right on target and my due date is 12/3/15!!

I am so overjoyed! They saw a small, sub chorionic bleed that has resolved and is not an issue. I'm glad to have that mild spotting explained and know everything is ok!

Whew, I can relax and let myself feel I am PREGNANT!!!!

SN- I ovulated from the left ovary- we saw a giant corpus luteum! I ovulated on the right side with both of my boys. Interesting?!

I'm just glad I'm really pregnant!!

I am pretty sure the NIPT results are in. My midwife called, she left a msg with DH to call her and the lab verified that they were done. I couldn't call her back- I am just too scared to know. I realize now that I just do not want another boy- a third kid is a crazy enough concept and the thought of a third boy literally brings me to my knees. I am so angry at DH for talking me into trying again after the loss- I knew I couldn't handle this. I told him we had to do HT but he somehow convinced me to try one time and lone behold! One attempt and here I am! I am just sick to my stomach.


[emoji178]

2boys-- Have hubby call and put it on speaker, sit on the comfiest piece of furniture you have and take a deep breath before the results. A 3rd son may be hard to accept, trust me im struggling knowing i may be having a 3rd daughter...and knowing nothing about you i may just be guessing here...it would probably be better to know its a boy as soon as you can so you can adjust and find a way to accept and be happy. Even if happiness seems impossible if it is indeed a 3rd son, some small part of you has to know you will find a way to love and bond with that baby no matter what.

I wish you lots of luck and love and hope you hear GIRL..:bighug:

[Claire33]

Oh 2boys, I've so been in your shoes! The week where I was waiting for my blood test result was absolute hell, but I just didn't want to know, even though I knew that I had to find out some time. It's like ripping a band aid off, when is the right time, when are you ready? I just didn't want to hear the bad news. And when I finally talked to the dr. on the phone I thought I was going to throw up. The same happened when I had my 13 week scan, I was a nervous wreck and just wanted to throw up for a whole day before the scan. I was so afraid the early blood test had been wrong.

All I can do is give you a hug! :bighug:

[2boysJustOneGirl]

Thanks for your support! I am trying to just enjoy my morning at work before I I get the news. I want to be happy and right now ignorance is total bliss! I think that these early gender results are really so controversial. Maybe the surprise at birth would be an easier blow? I don't know what to do. I may just hold off on finding out the gender a few days. I have to work the rest of the week and I don't know how I will keep myself together if I hear boy. [emoji22]
I don't think I slept a wink last night so my emotions are pretty out of control, I even cried on my way to work listening to Ed Sheeran sing about loving his girl til she is seventy. Such a mess!


[emoji178]

[Rosie85]

Aww 2 boys. Big hugs to you. It is impossible to know when the right time to find out is. One thing is for sure and that is that the sex is set in stone and i think knowing that makes it so difficult to find out early...it wont change even if you want it to so badly. Waiting just prolongs the dream so both ends have their downfalls. When you feel ready is the best time. Just remember no matter the sex...this is your baby...your pride and joy just waiting to cuddled and loved when born and nothing can take the joy out of love in its purest form.

[QueenB3blue]

O man 2boys:( I wish I had magic words to make you feel better. Being pregnant is emotional enough! Plus, you have been through a lot the last couple months! I pray that you can find peace in whatever the gender your having.
I would probably not be able to wait. I would just rip it off like a bandaid. It is the anticipation that is the worst!!

Afm- had a midwife appointment today. Got to hear the heartbeat:) 161. But I am bummed because my midwife is pregnant due in late August so won't be able to deliver my baby:( I love her, I hope whoever she refers me to is just as awesome!
They set my due date for October 2. Which is great because I thought they would use the 8th or 9th. I have big babies, every little day makes a difference to me;)

I was also super annoyed at DH for persuading me to try one more time naturally before going HT. The result was DS3, so it took me a long time to get over our failed natural attempt. I mean I'm in my late 30's and my fertility won't last forever, so by the time we would do HT after DS3 I would be 38, instead of 35 which is what I wanted - big difference in the world of IVF.

2boys, all I can recommend is that you find out at a time of day that you are alone/with DH, but not have children running around needing attention etc. And not at work! So that narrows it down to certain times of the day and week I guess. You need time to cry in peace if it's a boy, without any distractions or being somewhere where you can't cry. GL deciding when to find out.

:fingers:

[Rosie85]

Queen i am happy your due date is earlier for you! I am expected to be due the 2nd as well since my baby is measuring for that day consistently! What a bummer your midwife wont be around. .i hope she hands you over to someone amazing!

I see my new doctor in a couple weeks myself...my clinic closed this week. Will be weird switching. Dh also just applied for a new job and if he gets it..i will be switching docs again!! Yikes.

QueenB, sorry about your midwife. I hope you get another one that you like! How big were you other babies, just curious? :)

QueenB, sorry about your midwife. I hope you get another one that you like! How big were you other babies, just curious? :)

Ds1 was 9 lbs 5oz 4 days late
Ds2 was 8 lbs 15 oz 10 days early
Ds3 was 10lbs 5oz 7 days early.

The hospital I deliver at now doesn't believe in inducing labor until 41 weeks:) but my first son had shoulder dystocia. I pushed with him for 3 hrs and then he had to be pulled out. Because of this they will induce me at 39 weeks. BUT no less.

Sorry to hear that Queen! The midwife who delivered DS1 has retired [emoji20]. She was amazing! I love the others at her practice. I hope to have an appointment with the new gal to get to know her, in case I end up having her to deliver this baby.

Well...my midwife text me and said the test came back negative for trisomies, which is great news! I didn't ask about gender- she is going to email me the results tomorrow so I can open the email at the best time of day for me, Which will be after I put the kids to bed and my DH leaves for night shift. It's hubby's bday tomorrow and I so want to give him a daughter as a gift[emoji4]. Please oh please let it be.

[Angel29ique]

Same here!! Fingers are crossed for you!!

[Claire33]

I will so be stalking you 2boys!

QueenB, my babies have all been the same size as your first, the last two being born 10 days before my due date. So I'm sure they'd be the size of your last one if they had been born to term or later. It's good that your hospital will induce at 39 weeks and not 41 weeks! Shoulder dystocia is no joke, very risky! I'm very curious to see if this baby (if indeed a girl) will be as big as her brothers, or maybe for once I will have a baby of average size :D

[QueenB3blue]

That is funny because my midwife mentioned maybe this being a 6 lbs baby girl, giving me a break. I said, "6 lbs!, no way! I wouldn't even know what to do with a baby that small! 8 lbs would be nice;)"

So I am going to complain about my DH for a minute:-/ he works from home today. I get up at 6:15 to get my boys ready for school. I set my alarm for 6:15. I am not a snooze person(no offense to anyone that is). His alarm goes off 20 minutes before mine today. He hit snooze over and over!!! Not getting up until 30 minutes after me!! I don't mine him sleeping in, but his alarm wakes me from a dead sleep waking 20 minutes before I have to!! He does this all the time! And yes, I have mentioned before how it drives me crazy. Grrrrrrr, I love sleep:(

Sorry just venting....

Hope everyone is feeling well:-)
