Due in December 2015- Jan/Feb 2016

[XXforhubby]

Attempts close to ovulation don't effect a sway. It's how many you had in your fertile window that may effect a sway. For instance, having an attempt O-1 or on O day can still sway girl provided that was your only attempt in your fertile window. My attempt was the day before O, O-1, and I should find out what we are having next week.

Having an attempt on O day or close to it doesn't sway boy- that is the old school way of thought.

FX for you!!!

[Sunbuny]

Very exciting pebbles... Fx for you.

I actually had 2 attempts in 4 days... o -3 and o day. I'm not which attempt resulted in this Bubba. I am not a believer in timing anymore. I really think it is about the number of attempts. 2 attempts was way less then how I got my boys.

I'm very excited for everybody [emoji4]

XX and Sunbuny, I am still of the old school mentality on timing. Ds1 and 2 were both at ovulation 2 attempts and very boy friendly everything.

But this time it was one attempt and 2-3 days before O. Can't wait to find out!
Fx for everyone!!! So exciting.

[eleena2014]

Early reassurance scan is 2 weeks today. Still so very nervous about it.i definitely still feel very much pregnant. My bellys growing to and I'm only 8 weeks! Is anyone's else's due date around 6th Jan?

<a href="http://lmtm.lilypie.com/A7Nop3. png" /a>

[seabeewife]

My attempts were 4 days before O and 2.. WAY less than with my boys. We would BD non stop. I think the j&d was a huge change for us ttc too. I'm dying to know. Every time I see a little girl I cry. Dang hormones!

[Temerity]

I wasn't expecting to O (or get pregnant) as early as I did. In fact this whole cycle was supposed to be a wash because I wasn't supposed to O yet and DH was going out of town after I had been out of town a week- so I threw him an extra BD to keep morale up lol. We ended up BD'ing on O-1 and O. Oops!

My last post I said something about a burrito not sitting well... After that I spent all of Monday sick as a dog. I could barely get off the couch, and my poor husband spent his Memorial Day being a single daddy. I'm feeling better today but I'm still easily tired. The nurse at the midwife's office is sure it was just a 24 hour bug that's going around, but I'm nervous about listeria, especially since DH fed me a deli meat sandwich that it turns out hadn't been heated :mad:

[JJ66]

Hi all! Just joining the group. I'm just barely pregnant - my est. due date is January 26, according to online calculators. I haven't been to the doctor yet, and won't until June 10. I've already had one dream that I found out it's a boy in an ultrasound. I was really disappointed in the dream, which is scary. My psyche preparing me for the possibility, I'm sure. Anyway, praying for a healthy baby and pregnancy! Hope everyone is feeling well!

[Blue-Blue-Pink?]

I would like to join this group too. My due date is January 28 if I did the calculations right..
Looking forward to chat with you on this journey to a beautifull new baby in the family..

[XXforhubby]

Yay! I'm SO glad you finally got your long awaited BFP Blue! I remember you from the 2WW threads!!

Welcome too JJ! I'm so glad to have more ladies join us!

I have the oldest DD in the thread at Dec 3rd and Sunbuny is close behind me I think at Dec 5th.

Welcome blue and JJ. My EDD is Jan 15th.

Spotting started back up for me today. This is so stressful!

[Pebbles1012]

Welcome JJ and Blue :)
I am due Jan 20th. So I'm right there with you. (Had my dating ultrasound yesterday).
How are you ladies feeling?

[purple]

Welcome Blue and JJ :) I'm probably the closest due date you you guys as I'm due around Jan 23.

I have an ultrasound booked for exactly 7wks on the 6th of June.

I'm dealing with a tummy bug at the moment, I think I picked it up from DS2 as he had something on the weekend. I got really dizzy and sweaty at one stage yesterday and passed out for a minute or two on my bed. Lucky I managed to get from the bathroom to the bedroom although I don't actually remember doing it! Now I don't know if I'm queasy from the stomach bug or from morning sickness!


Sorry to read you are getting spotting again seebee, do you know why you are getting it? It would be very stressful seeing that :(

[seabeewife]

No idea what is causing it. I thought the 1st time it was just implantation. Now I'm not so sure. Calling my Dr tomorrow and hoping to see her.

[fivebabies]

Welcome to the newest ladies! Congrats on your pregnancies!

[Temerity]

I found the baby's heartbeat today :) It was only for about 15 seconds, but it was very clear and definitely baby... The machine read at 176. It was soooo comforting to hear that sound!!

How is everyone else today? Any weekend plans?

My SIL gets into town tonight so we'll be entertaining her until Monday. DH wants to tell her the news so that should be fun. I'm a little sarcastic because DH complained to her about how I was pushing him for a third, so not sure what her reaction will be.

[seabeewife]

Heard the baby's heartbeat today ♡ it was at 143. Most amazing sound in the world. Still doing the testing to make sure my hcg is doubling. My mom told me she had spotting with my brother and sister, so I'm thinking maybe I just take after her? Anyway that's all I got for now.

XX any word on baby's gender yet?! I'm dying to know.

[Sunbuny]

Seabee, I had spotting with my first 2 pregnancies and I went on to have 2 healthy babies. Wishing you all the best.

I too can't wait XX! Fx for a healthy baby and your DG.

[purple]

I'm feeling really worried at the moment since I have hardly any symptoms compared to my boys. This reminds me more of my blighted ovum. I don't note if I'm just being paranoid. I want to get some more tests as the last ones I used were ICs and not as dark as I would like but I don't know if it's because they are just crappy tests.

[Temerity]

Purple I had some ICs that never got very dark while others had obvious progression, so that's a possibility. I hope that something happens (more symptoms, etc) to ease your mind soon.

[Sunbuny]

How far are you purple? I'm on my phone so don't see the tickers.. Sorry


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[purple]

I'm 6 weeks tomorrow so it's still early but I'm sure I felt more sick with my boys.
Thanks temerity, I feel better knowing your ICs didn't get dark.
I have a scan in a week so hopefully I will relax then (assuming all is ok).

[Sunbuny]

Purple, I didn't feel sick at all this time around till 6 weeks. And then I was only sick for 3 weeks... And for the record my experience with IC is that they are crap. They had me doubting my positive tests until the Dr confirmed it.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[XXforhubby]

Purple- I can understand that you are worried. Early pregnancy is hard and it's hard not to! I know several people that ICs didn't work for them. Maybe go and buy a pack of FRERs to ease your mind until your scan.

Hang in there honey! I'm hoping you'll feel icky soon [emoji6]!

[Sunbuny]

Xx, I saw that you posted and got so excited... I feel like I'm waiting for my results all over again


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Sunbuny]

Purple.. Can you buy the clear blue tests that tells you how many weeks you are? That could ease your mind a bit. Tbh though, I think it's so natural to feel anxious... I have another scan coming up on Monday and I can't wait to see the baby again just to ease my mind.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[seabeewife]

Purple, when I was concerned I went and bought the digital tests that say the weeks. That eased my mind big time!

[smarston3]

Purple-hope you get your reassurance soon

See-glad to hear you had a great ultrasound.

AFM, I'm having a rough day emotionally. We got to have an ultrasound today and thankfully everything is fine. I was told by a verifi rep that I could have my blood drawn on Monday. Well, the office staff is clueless about it, telling me that it's not completely accurate, etc. if my dreams of ever having a daughter are gone, I want to know sooner rather then later. We leave for disney in 2 weeks and this will be the 1st trip realizing I may never have a princess to dress up. So, I wanted to know before I go. So I can address my feelings before hand. I'm going to hate going with a little bit of hope that I still have a chance. Oh, and I ran into a friend while waiting for my appointment so now she knows I'm pregnant and we weren't planning to announce until 13 weeks or verifi results, whichever comes first. Augh. Sorry for the rambling ladies. I just feel like crying all day


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[sc1411]

XX, i also thought you are posting the results:)

Smarston, totally understand how you are feeling. I was crying for the last two day, thinking that I'm having another one, that my sway didn't work, why did i agree for that etc., etc. Then I went shopping...Feel perfect today,lol:) Maybe cry it out, let it out. It is much harder to hold it all inside.

Couple of days ago I had a meeting for my youngest DD's summer camp teacher, she is also due in December with a baby boy. I wanted to bite her. Then she asks if I'm hoping for a boy:hair: Of course I am, but why your asking me that!!!(i didn't tell her that).
I would have kept my pregnancy a secret, but mu tummy sticks out already, I can;t hide it.

[smarston3]

Sc-that's exactly how I'm feeling. I feel like I'm going to be a joke when we tell people I'm pregnant with #4, let alone with DS4. I will absolutely love and adore him. I just want to be able to enjoy the pregnancy. So, if it's a boy, I want to know so I can start bonding with him. Now, I'm contemplating not announcing on social media, etc to try to stop the comments. Just tell close family and move on. But, running into my friend makes it more difficult. She's more nosy then supportive so she's not someone I can confide in during these emotions. Also, I weaned from my Wellbutrin when I got my BFP. And I'm having trouble determining if my feelings are normal or if I need meds again. Again, sorry for the vent


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[XXforhubby]

Oh ladies, I just want to give you all a big hug! Why do people not stop and think before they speak? I feel like I am a minority, because I always think before speaking! Ugh!

Smarston- shame on your office staff saying that test is not accurate! That's bull!

SC- I'm so sorry that happened to you. It's ridiculous to think that someone with one gender wouldn't want the opposite when pregnant! I'm sure I'm the minority who wants just all boys, but to assume anything is preposterous! Humpf!

AFM- I'm focusing on my NT scan on Tuesday. I've accepted the fact that I won't get my MaterniT21 results before then. I'll definitely post US pics Tuesday afternoon!!

When the nurse called me this morning to remind me of my appointment on Tuesday, I asked her about them. She said that none were faxed in this morning, and they call right away when they get them. So, onto next week! I'm just excited to get to see the baby again!! I'll be 13 weeks 5 days so a great time for nub shots!!

[Temerity]

I completely understand how you guys are dreading the comments. I think there will be comments either way, and if I do have a girl I'll have to hear "Now you're done, right?" like they know how I felt or have a right to wonder how many kids I want and should have.

[Sunbuny]

You know what? I'm actually surprised with the lack of comments I have received... It's been really nice. When we told DHs family (only one girl so far out of 8) most of them were ecstatic but I made it clear to my eldest nephew ( who wanted it to be a boy) that we do love our boys so much but that we're also happy to have another different experience. I got more comments when I told people I was pregnant but I made it clear ( even though it was hard) that I was expecting a boy and that we would be more then happy with that outcome. If people think you're happy then they might be less inclined to say anything...


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[purple]

Thanks again for the reassurance from everyone :) I think this week will be a tough week in the wait for the scan. I'm thinking about getting a digital test or FRER test today. I'm not sure how I will cope if I don't get the result I want though!

I guess technically I do have some symptoms as my boobs are sore but I just expected to feel more sick and have some heartburn too. It's silly as I should enjoy not feeling crappy but I would prefer to have more signs things are ok!

This is also the furthest along I have ever been where I have not told anyone. Only DH knows and one friend who is also pregnant but 2 weeks ahead (I couldn't not tell her since we have links to each others FF charts). I think we will surprise a lot of people when we tell them as I think most people assume we were done.

[purple]

Well I tested with a digital test and it has given me 2-3. I was really hoping for a 3+ to put my mind at rest :( I have googled and read that lots of women don't get a 3+ when they expect to so it helps a little knowing that but I still can't help but worry :(

Oh Purple! Hang in there sweetie! I'm sure everything is just fine! Some women, like me, produce a ton of HCG (I had 5 times the normal amount this time!!) and some produce a normal amount. I think yours is just fine! Maybe you ovulated or implanted later than you thought making your levels right where they are supposed to be.

I would test again in about 3-5 days and see what it says then, because HCG levels would have doubled twice more by then.

Hugs, sweetie!!!

I'm. Still. Waiting.

I'll call today, if I don't hear from the nurse this morning. I may call the lab first to see if they have been sent.

I'm getting anxious. I had a dream last night that this was another boy but healthy. I was relieved, but DH was mad at me because he thought I was happy for another boy.

I just want to know so I can move on...and try to be supportive of DH. Sigh

Ugh- FX for a call today!

I'm getting my blood drawn this morning, so let my anxious wait begin.

[smarston3]

XX-omg, please let them call today!!

Tem-good luck. What test are you getting?

I would really like to have it drawn (10w today) but I don't have any risk factors. I don't know if I should call one of the companies and have them send the kit to my doctor, and deal with the billing thru the company? Feeling a little lost, I'm being seen by two different doctors and I can't get it?! Frustrated!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[XXforhubby]

I would call Smarston. I know with the MaterniT21 test, without insurance it is $200. Not too bad, IMO. You can call them, and they will send the kit to your doctor.

I'll update when I know anything. I just want to know something! I hope the baby is healthy...

smarston my midwives use QNatal by Quest, which I think is the new name for MaterniT21 (bought it out). If you call, verify that they still offer the discount for those paying out of pocket. I think that the Harmony test also offers a discount as well, and since you'll be doing the footwork you can choose whoever you want.

Seabee, sorry you are feeiing down this morning. I do know lots of people who dreamt the wrong gender though, and you know that this is probably more a fear coming out of your subconscious than any premonition ((hug))

I guess I was hurt when pregnant with DS2 with all of the gender comments. I felt like I was a minority for wanting all boys. I guess I explained it well back then, because everyone is saying that I got my wish [emoji4]! I did!

So, what should I make of this ladies. Last night while taking my boys to a park, DH called me. He asked me what I thought about having a fourth baby?! What?!

I said that I love having a baby and so far my pregnancies and deliveries haven't been rough. I would have to wait and see with DS3 though.

DH said he was just joking that he wants to be done at three, and he was wanting to see my reaction. I do believe the latter, but I think he was testing me. Just to leave the door open...

I CANNOT imagine four children! Especially in our house we live in now.

If this is something your husband really wants, I think you should seriously consider it:) I am so grateful that my husband agreed for me to try for a girl pretty quickly after we had DS3. I would hope that I would have agreed to do the same for him if the situation were reversed!

[seabeewife]

XX I could never do 4 kids personally lol. Especially with how crazy my DS2 is. If you second guessed it though, maybe you aren't done at 3? My DH is setting up to get fixed while I'm pregnant ��

[Blue-Blue-Pink?]

I am so sorry for you all ladies! Feeling so sick is horrible even if it is for a good reason!
I must say that I have not been feeling sick so far so fysically I am fine. But I am feeling kind of down and not really myself, gained a lot of weight so not comfortable in my clothes and feeling/being fat is for me always a reason to not be happy. It really gets to me..
Guess we all have our own issues with pregnancies..

[XXforhubby]

We sure do! I would love to trade places with you, just to not feel sick anymore!

I must say, this is the skinniest I have ever been at 14 weeks. I was worried about it until I saw my little man yesterday! Apparently everything is going to him! I've only gained 6-7lbs so far. Normally I'd be right there with you Blue! I usually weigh about 10-13lbs by this point. I bet the weight will start to fly on soon, once this MS stops!! Lookout!!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

[Temerity]

I bought Dandelion Root tea today to try to aid with the nausea. I read that poor liver function could be the cause of m/s that persists into the second trimester.

XX- I know you're allergic, but maybe some of these foods will help you feel better: 14 Foods that Cleanse the Liver - Global Healing Center (http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/liver-cleanse-foods/)

[seabeewife]

I'm lucky in the weight gain area so far.. I lost a couple pounds and have gained them back and am at my original weight again. I had already gained weight with DS2 by now. I guess that's the only perk of having MS this time around.

[Pebbles1012]

I am having another ultrasound to detect the heartbeat on Friday (7 weeks 5). My doctor is making me jump hoops to get my initial appointment. Will help to put my mind at ease.

I am not sick at all, just tired....makes me worry that all is ok. The acne I was getting is now gone and my food cravings kind of gone too.

[Temerity]

smarston- yay for getting the test run! Hope they get back to both of us in short order!

[Temerity]

Pebbles i hope all is well on Friday. I'm glad you are able to at least convince the doctor to do ultrasounds. My first appointments have always been pretty boring, but the ultrasounds are the best.

[sc1411]

I had my blood work done today for Meternityt21. Does anyone know how long shall I wait for the results?
Also gained 3lb for 3 weeks:)

[Mulberry Smurf]

Mat21 results can take up to two weeks I believe but usually they're quicker than that xx

[smarston3]

Verifi told me 5-7 days. Which I take as business days. I hoping by next Friday at the latest

smarston3 - do you know how they get the results to you? Do they call you direct or send a report to your Dr who will then call you? I am going to do the verifi as well (when I get pregnant, ttc this month) and have been wondering how the results are given :)

[smarston3]

It sounded like they will fax the results to the doctors office (who I work for) so, I told my coworker/nurse to text me "the results are here" and then DH and I can decide how to get them. There was a place on the form for my email...but I would check in 29 times a day if that's how they were sending it. Haha

[purple]

I can't wait for the today and tomorrow to be over! I'm so anxious at the moment and it doesn't help that I have had a tiny amount of spotting today. I have never had it in pregnancy before so I'm worried. With the lack of morning sickness I'm not feeling positive. I was tempted to try to get an earlier US but then I would rather wait until the weekend to get bad news as I won't want to be at work. Sorry to bring the mood down with me negative posts :(

[XXforhubby]

Purple- hang in there sweetie! Spotting is never an easy thing to experience in pregnancy!! I do believe that things will be ok and your baby is snuggled in real tight! I'm hoping and praying that you'll see a sweet baby and a nice heartbeat in a couple of days!

Hugs sweetie!!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

[seabeewife]

Purple I called my Dr every time my spotting would start up. I'd get an appointment that day and an ultrasound the next. Each time baby was fine! She had me do the hcg blood test to make sure it was doubling as well. Try not to stress, as hard as that it. I've been spotting off and on since 6dpo!

[fivebabies]

Just checking in to say Hi ladies! I am so sorry that so many of you (us) are still sick. This truly is miserable. And not fair! It shouldn't be this hard.

I'm still suck as a dog. Had a few easy days and thought that maybe I got lucky this time...nope. Back even worse than before.
I finally stopped spotting at around 10 weeks like last time. Next appt is Tuesday but nothing exciting will happen. I did set up and early gender scan appt for in a few weeks since I opted out of the genetics testing. Can't wait to find out!

Congrats on another sweet baby boy XX! Can't wait to hear the results from everyone else!!

[Blue-Blue-Pink?]

Good luck sc1411 and smarston with waiting! So exciting..!

[Blue-Blue-Pink?]

Did you get an US today purple? Is everything ok?

[Pebbles1012]

Hey ladies, just had a second US. Heartbeat detected and 154bpm. Old wives tale or indicator of sex?

[fivebabies]

Old wives tale unfortunately. My last boy had a high "girl heart beat". That's the first one I paid any attention to.
But that just goes to show that anything goes!!

[smarston3]

According to that old wives tale, I should have three girls...I have three boys.

[seabeewife]

At 8 weeks this baby is at 165-170. But from what I remember with DS2 it was just as high at this point. I think they are all the same during the 1st trimester.

[Temerity]

Pebbles I'm so glad that baby has a good heart rate!! Hopefully that will ease your mind for a little while. I agree that HR is not indicative of sex, but for fun you can plug the numbers in at babybpm.com

[seabeewife]

Lol that site said all my heart rates so far with this bean is girl.. we will see! DH and both my boys say girl. DS1 was right last time ;)

[XXforhubby]

The site said my little guy was a girl [emoji53]- I hope he doesn't change his mind, lol!!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

[Sunbuny]

There's so many fun tests you can do.... But that's all they are really.. For fun. This time round my family insisted on doing the ring test and I also tried the bicarb soda test. Both said girl. I didn't believe them though


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Pebbles1012]

The heart rate was strong but it doesn't put my mind at ease. I want to get all the testing done that I can. Each pregnancy I have worried so much more (ds1 has health issues). At least now my OB appointment can be booked!

[seabeewife]

I did the pencil test. That was creepy. DH said it was silly, but what gender guessing test's aren't, right?

[Temerity]

Seabee- did you do it over your belly or over your wrist? I had done the ring test over my belly and it did both a circle and a line haha. But tonight I did the pencil test, and it is totally creepy. It accounted for pregnancies that didn't work out, the right number including this one, with the boys in their appropriate slots. Creepy.

And it said girl. So of course I'm hoping lol

[XXforhubby]

So I just did the pencil test too. Creepy. It was right for DS1 and DS2, but not this baby. It kept saying girl. I keep having dreams that his gender changed on my anatomy scan.

I'm believing the materniT21 test. I doubt that would be wrong. I'm hoping it's not anyway!!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

[purple]

Did you get an US today purple? Is everything ok?

Thanks for thinking of me... I have had my ultrasound and unfortunately it seems my intuition was correct as the baby was measuring at 5wks 4d when it should be 7wks today. No heartbeat could be picked up which the US tech said was because the baby was still too small but I know my dates and when I O'd so its not looking good. I managed to get into my Dr and she has taken a blood test and will test again Tues (Monday is a public holiday here) to see what Hcg levels are doing.

I feel like I knew exactly that this was going to happen but it doesn't make it any easier. Now I'm in limbo waiting to see if my body will end the pregnancy on its own. I had a d&c after my blighted ovum so I don't know what it is like to have a natural miscarriage but my Dr has explained what to expect.

Thanks for all your support ladies! I really appreciate it.

[Temerity]

Oh purple, I'm so sorry. I was really hoping it would be better news. Thinking of you. :broken:

Ok girls, had my 11 week ultrasound today. Baby looked great! Bouncing around in there...I guessed boy based on 3D ultrasound but the ultrasound tech switched to abdominal..printed me out to clear nub shots and said "if I have to guess today, I would say girl"..now, I wish she didn't say anything. I don't want false hope.

[Junie]

I'm so glad everything looked good with baby Eleena!

[sc1411]

Eleena, great picture!

Smarston, why do you think the tech is wrong? I don't think they would say anything if they aren't sure:)

[smarston3]

Sc-exactly. She knows we have three boys, swayed for a girl, etc...so, you're right. I don't think she would have said anything unless she's sure. Except it's only 11w, which is why I don't want false hope. I went and looked on the ultrasound forum and the two girl examples are the exact same two pics she printed/showed me.

When's everyone's next ultrasound?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Temerity]

Smarston- so glad you had a good ultrasound and I hope the tech was right!

I have my NT one week from today. Hoping to have my NIPT back before that as I think I'll be able to enjoy it more once I'm not guessing a sex. Today I had a normal exam with doppler, all sounds good. Baby's HR was 167 which according to babybpm.com makes it a boy now lol.

[smarston3]

Tem-I think mine was 167 too. But, my boys all had high heart rates. I would get my NT scan next week but we're in disney. Mine will be two weeks from today. Also, I'm expect NIPT results by the end of the week. I think I'm going to have my doctors office call the front desk of the hotel with results and have them sent up a gender reveal in our hotel room. That way, it's some way fun but private so I don't have to hide my emotions


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[sc1411]

I have my next one in a week but i might have my Meternity results back somewhere in the end of the week. This baby's heart rate was 183 at first scan and kind of been down since then, even though it is an OWT. But, this baby will be loved no matter what:)

[XXforhubby]

Ah, don't fret ladies! You'll know soon enough! Heart beat doesn't tell you anything about gender! This guy should have been a girl, lol! His heart beat was 152!! Definitely captured 100% boy parts at 13w 5d!!

My next US is on 7/13 at 19w. I'm excited to see him again [emoji4]!!

I'll tell you all something- I'm very competitive and don't like to lose. When I first heard my MaterniT21 results I felt like I lost a game I had practiced months for. I allowed myself to feel that for a bit. Soon, within an hour or two, I felt him move. Something happened. My heart warmed and realized I didn't lose a thing! I have another sweet boy to love and learn all about! I felt relief wash over me. I think after months of swaying I expected to hear girl, not because it's what I wanted, but because I just sort of expected that would happen. Gender is but just a small piece of what makes a person a person. No matter what the gender is of the baby you are carrying ladies, I promise you will love this baby deeply and will see how your family is now complete once they arrive- I promise!!

Hugs to those waiting on gender results. May you have the strength to keep waiting and the wisdom to to keep your heart open to love no matter what [emoji8].


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

[smarston3]

XX-thanks for the kind words. You're absolutely right. Will love this baby no matter what. Definitely cried at the ultrasound watching him move around. Last night, I was thinking about if it's a girl..and I was "slightly" upset (don't think I'm crazy) thinking that I will "miss" the boy that I think is growing in my belly. Hope that makes sense.

[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

[Temerity]

You are of course all correct, what matters is a healthy baby and another boy would be definitely be loved. There are a lot of good reasons to hope for a boy and I tell myself that all the time. But I'm still glad to have a place where I can write down my hopes for a girl without being made to feel bad about hoping. It's not that I don't love boy babies, but in my heart I always had at least one daughter and one son. It's hard to imagine that never happening.

[smarston3]

Tem-understand completely!!!!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[seabeewife]

Temerity, that's my feeling exactly. I always pictured myself with at least one girl! I love make-up, doing hair, getting all done up.. and I always wanted a little girl I could do it with. I love my little angel already, and I'll love him/her regardless of gender. But the thought of never having a little girl makes my cry my eyes out.

[XXforhubby]

I sure hope you all get your DG. I don't know how I would handle things if I felt like I wanted a DD so strongly. I can relate somewhat in that I didn't bond with this baby until I heard boy. I was trying to convince myself I wanted a DD, but deep down I felt miserable thinking that my sway worked. I'm relieved it worked out the way it did for me, despite my competitive nature towards my sway.

Who knows, maybe my opposite happened so all of you wouldn't experience it! Here's to hoping!!!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

[Temerity]

So it's been 8 business days since I had my blood drawn for QNatal (Mat21). I'm going a little nutsy! I almost wish there was no window, just "We will call you on Friday June 12 and not before." or whatever day. Wondering every day if this is the day, and obsessively checking my phone and the lab's app, is making me crazy! lol. Anyone have a good distraction?

How is everyone feeling, btw? XX, are you finally into the 2nd tri bliss?

[XXforhubby]

Oh the waiting is brutal, Tem! I hope they call you before the end of this week, geez that wouldn't be fair otherwise! Keep us posted! I sure hope you hear girl [emoji8][emoji175]!

Thanks for asking how I'm doing! Three nights ago I threw up! I thought I was done with that! Since then, I haven't had to take any meds and only one Zantac for acid reflux at night. I feel great! I've been back at exercising and did a challenging workout with only a few modifications! I was so proud of myself! DH was like, you are doing more than me and you're pregnant! I was used to doing all this prior to getting pregnant though. Hopefully I can keep it up before I have to modify further.

How is everyone else doing/feeling? Besides Tem, who else is close to finding out gender of their babes?

I have had an elective gender scan done at 16 weeks. They could easily tell it was a boy!

I am stalking this thread to hear all the upcoming news! So exciting!

[seabeewife]

I can't wait to hear every ones results! My insurance doesn't cover it, so I'm doing an early elective gender scan at 14 weeks. I did it with DS2 and it was very clearly a boy at that point. I'm so anxious to find out. With DH, my kids, and all my friends and family saying it's a girl I'm going mad! Lol.

[smarston3]

Five-with all three boys, I had ultrasounds at 15-16 weeks for gender

Big, big hugs. I'm so, so sorry that you have to fight disappointment right now. It isn't fair when we want something that seems so simple and easy for other people. It's ok to be upset and angry, those feelings have nothing to do with the love you feel for your son and everything to do with your grief over your daughter. Even if she never existed except in your heart, you are allowed to mourn her. Lots of love and sympathy to you tonight.

[smarston3]

Thanks ladies, didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I know he's a strong little boy for pushing through my sway. It's just a hard pill to swallow. I wish I didn't find out when I'm on vacation. I guess I thought if it were a boy, I wouldn't have time to be upset about it. We've only told family about the pregnancy and they were already cracking jokes that I'm due at Xmas ( we have an Xmas baby) now I'm dreading telling them it's another boy. I would stay team green with them(think I will in public) but I'm afraid I will flip out on someone if they sit there and try to convince me its a girl. I feel like I failed everyone including myself. I'm upset that I convinced DH that we could sway. And the poor thing feels like it's his fault. He already said we will find the money somewhere for HT but we can't have five kids!! I don't know how I'm going to handle four boys.

[XXforhubby]

Take a deep breath, sweetie! Stop and just breath. You've only just begun to process this. I strongly suggest waiting to tell people the gender, until you are in a better place to handle negative comments. As far as dealing when people bring up girl comments, I would say we will have to wait and see, then change the subject.

I know you are panicking, thinking about having four boys. Try and relax until you are in a better frame of mind. Most of the time, our fears are far worse than reality so try and focus on the here and now. Try to enjoy your vacation with your children. Slowly allow yourself to process all of this. Don't try and tackle it all at once- you'll be too overwhelmed. Deal with this in bits and pieces, when you are ready. You have the time.

We are here for you. I'm praying for strength and clarity for you.

Girls, would it be ok if I don't believe it's true until after our vacation and next ultrasound? (Day after we get back) I feel like it's the only way for me to get thru this trip without crying every day...DH kinda said the same thing. "Do you think the person at the office read the results right?!"

Do it! Maybe it was wrong? :)

[smarston3]

Five-I know its 99% accurate but maybe I took it too early, etc. girl can still have a little hope right?

Smartson, I'd be the same way! Which is why I'm doing the early gender scan so I can actually see the boy/girl goods. I say enjoy your vacation girl!

Just be careful. I'll worry about you [emoji6]. If it gets you through, go for it.

[Temerity]

I probably won't believe my results are true until my anatomy scan, whatever way they go, so I say seeing is believing. Just take care of yourself.

[Sunbuny]

I'm still having doubts regarding my results and probably won't feel 100% comfortable until the 19 week scan. I had a dream where the ultrasound guy says " there is the scrotum " and it was so real Im half expecting that to happen.

Smarston..sorry you didn't hear pink. It is so hard to lose a dream and desire you want sooo badly. I hope being on vacation will ease some of the pain.

Sc--super congrats on the boy!!

Seems a lot of boys are popping up lately!

[TaytumJ]

Just wanted to jump on and congrats SC on the baby boy! Big congrats! :)

smartston3 - so sorry your bean isn't pink, but what a lucky little boy to have brothers and parents who will adore him and love him! I also love that your DH hasn't given up on HT either. There's still a little girl waiting for you!

[Mulberry Smurf]

Aw a mickey mouse toy is so sweet :) I think that's fine to just carry on, I think what you're maybe asking for is the approval and validation to be able to experience happiness right now as you feel that it is not being true to what your emotions should be feeling if that makes sense? You are absolutely allowed to be happy and carry on through this pregnancy not confronting how you feel about if this is definitely a boy. There will come a time when you're no longer able to deny that (potentially) but life will have changed so much you won't be experiencing it the same way, because you'll have a new family member to love and who loves you. xxx

I vote for whatever you need to do to get through right now. On one of my babies I was really really hoping for a girl, 18+ week ultrasound they told me girl 100%! I was so excited. I knew I was having a girl before they told me....well, 4 weeks later I had another ultrasound and just kidding, it's a boy! Was very obvious too. I was heartbroken.

Not because I was getting a 3rd son but because I had a girl and she was taken away. It was an awful feeling. I still left hope in my head that it was a girl right up until delivery. The entire process was hard but I am smitten with this now 5 yr old little boy. He's my super special snuggle buddy and I wouldn't trade him for 100 baby girls.

This time I think I'm having a girl again. Trying really hard to tell myself that it's a boy and not to be ridiculous.

Hope you're feeling better today Hun!

[smarston3]

Just checking in ladies, my issue today is he represents the end of a dream, the reality of reality, etc. I can love and accept him as another baby that's joining our family, not all he represents..if that makes sense at all

[Temerity]

Yes, this is why I am both anticipating and dreading getting my results- once I hear that the baby is a boy I won't be able to pretend that someday I might still have a girl. It will be the final answer. The hope that the next one would be a girl was one of the things that got me through GD with my first two.

Right now this baby is sort of like Schroedinger's cat- both a boy and a girl.

[Pebbles1012]

I look at ds1 and ds2 and think they are amazing. Of course ds3 would be an amazing addition. But I too am scared for the results; to know that I will never get to buy pink and never get to do mother-daughter things. I have 3 weeks till my first ob appointment where I may get a prediction of gender (I knew ds2 was a boy at 12 weeks). Genetic testing will happen then too.

[Mulberry Smurf]

Good luck Temerity and Pebbles.

I understand, Smarston. You did the bravest thing to try for your little girl, I am sorry for the void but I hope in time that gap becomes much smaller and your life as a family of five is so happy xx

[seabeewife]

Smartson, I know exactly what you mean. I'm so nervous to find out if this baby is a boy or a girl. Not getting your DG is so heartbreaking. It's normal to feel the way you do. Hope things get easier for you ♡

[Temerity]

Tomorrow morning I have my NT scan. Tomorrow is also two weeks since my QNatal blood draw. I was really hoping to know the sex before seeing the baby again, but I guess I'll get to wonder about nub theory after all haha.

Keep us posted Tem! Maybe they have the results too! FX!!!

[Temerity]

I got the call as I was in the waiting room for my NT- it's a healthy girl! My NT scan also looks good, and baby was very cooperative for all her pictures.

I'm in shock right now.

[smarston3]

Congratulations Temerity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[fivebabies]

Congrats Temerity!!! You must be on cloud nine. :) Have you been shopping yet? That's when it seems to really sink in!

[eleena2014]

Congrats!!

<a href="http://lmtm.lilypie.com/A7Nop3. png" /a>

[Temerity]

Five babies- Nope, no shopping yet... I'm still letting it sink in. My mom will be in town next week and we will tell her, I'm sure she will want to shop. And we go to Alaska in a few weeks so I will probably buy some cute stuff then :)

[Temerity]

How is everyone doing?

I'm still feeling nausea on occasion but I'm down to just a nightly dose of Diclegis, so I'm happy about that. Still really tired though- I can't wait to have energy again!

Question of the Day: have you thought about names for the baby?

[Pebbles1012]

Temerity, how many weeks are you?
I am tired, hungry all the time, and have not been sick at all (was very sick with my boys). Anyones skin really bad? (My skin has always been amazing till now).
I am waiting to know gender before thinking names...contentious topic with Dh!

[seabeewife]

My nausea is awful.. I have yet to throw up, but I feel nauseous from when I wake up until I fall asleep. I'm super tired too, I wish I was able to nap but my boys don't nap anymore. I didn't feel the awful with my boys either.. and my skin which usually is flawless during pregnancy is AWFUL. I didn't even have skin this bad when I was a teenager!

[Temerity]

Pebbles, I'm 12+3 now.

My nausea was at its worst during weeks 9-11. Hopefully you guys will be through it soon!

Bad nausea and skin are wives' tale signs of girl pregnancies, but Inhad both with DS2 also lol.

[seabeewife]

I've read it's an old wives tale. I tell everyone if it's a boy he'll be a really pretty one, because this baby is stealing ALL of my beauty! Lol

[fivebabies]

I'm still sick even at 14 weeks, but I'm usually still sick at 22 so no surprise there. I take Unisom/B6 combo at night and have good mornings but then it wears off. I can't take it during the day. It knocks me out! I have loads of Zofran and try not to take it. Isn't all that effective when I do anyways.

We have had a boy name and a girl name picked out for years now. So that part is easy. I can't wait to find out who is in there! I've been eyeing some baby clothes and I want to know which ones to snatch up.

Can't wait to hear more gender results! Who is next??

[seabeewife]

I won't know for another month. I opted out of the blood test, because of the fact I don't know if my insurance will cover it. I'd rather wait a few more weeks and actually see the baby and it's boy/girl parts. When are you finding out fivebabies?!
