Due in March/April/May 2016

[Pearl327]

My appointment is first thing Thursday morning so not too much longer to wait.

[Junie]

I'm glad baby is doing well Mandy!!

[Junie]

Pearl327 I hope you have a really good appt! I know I will be petrified before my appt at 12 weeks as that is when they discovered the loss of my last baby. But I just try to remind myself that there is nothing I can do, and the probably everything is fine and I don't help anything by worrying. But it is all much easier said then done. I'll be thinking of you Thursday!

[Ashforblue]

How exciting you get to see your babe Pearl! I bet everything will go great :)

Is everyone else doing okay? I wonder how many ladies we have in here right now...

[True Blue]

Good luck Pearl :)

Junie I'm also unsure when to schedule an appt. I am thinking of booking a private scan just for reassurance.

Anyone else suffering awful nausea? I'm talking 24/7. Only sparkling water and lemon is keeping it bearable at the moment.

[True Blue]

Beautiful baby Mandy I hope things are plain sailing for you from here on in :fx:

[Ashforblue]

It did hit me pretty hard but starting yesterday I had one pukey session, today nothing so far!! I really freaked out but heard that symptoms can kinda ease up at 9 weeks..... I'm just going to enjoy not feeling nausea & hope my little one is okay in there!!

Do you have shortness of breath? That is something I've been struggling with....

[mandyp85]

True, I often feel sick but haven't actually been sick, thankfully. Whether I eat or don't eat the sick feeling is pretty much always there :-/

Ash, I suffer with asthma anyway but it's definitely been worse since I've been pregnant, am taking my inhalers a lot more often than usual.

Anybody having any cravings at the minute? Most things turn my stomach but I'm loving fruit and veg right now lol.

[Pearl327]

Crisp juicy apples Mandyp. Pink ladies or Envy. I also bought a melon last night. So I have that at home for later. Last week it was chocolate. Just in case you think I am being really healthy here

[True Blue]

Ash for me shortness of breath can be the first signs of anemia - are you still taking your prenatal?
Still feeling sick here it takes over pretty much everything.

[Ashforblue]

True I didn't even think about that.... I did have anemia with my dd2.... Might be worst since I don't eat meat now!

Lots of food don't sit well with me either Mandy.... I'm jealous that you like veggies right now b/c I can't stand them! Which really stink cause I'm vegan, lol!! I'm eating a lot of fruit and bland things like toast & plain noodles....

Has anyone have thier symptoms start to ease or is it just me?? I'm less tired ( well most of the time) less nausea ( still some but not as bad ) and my boobs aren't as sore.... This isn't a bad sign is it?? I read that the placenta starts to take over at 9 weeks and symptoms can start to ease but I'm still worried....

[Pearl327]

I have been less tired this past week too Ash. I feel like I might be getting my evenings back very soon and not going to bed soon after the kids

[True Blue]

I felt woeful all day, feeling slightly better tonight so of course now I'm a little worried , can't win :D

Pearl best of luck at your appointment in the morning :fx:

Well ladies the scan went very well. Bubs is measuring perfect for dates which is raising my hopes for another DD as DD1 measured correct for dates too and DS was a week and a half ahead at the start( went up to 2 1/2weeks half way).

The little Heartbeat was flickering away like mad too. It is a huge relief to know all is good.
Next appointment is 4th September and I hope we can get a nice nub shot then.

[True Blue]

Yay Pearl :) congratulations :cheer:

[Ashforblue]

That's so great Pearl! I bet your super happy :)

I understand what your saying True! I think I'm just going to be nervous till I see that heartbeat!im glad your feeling better as well Pearl & your baby is doing great, makes me feel better for my symptoms easing...

[Hopefor4]

Awe so wonderful Pearl!

I'm 7 weeks today. Have an awful tummy ache. Nausea has been off and on this past week. Been feeling down on myself these past few days. I'm being a big baby. But I think it's partially the hormones. With each pregnancy the nausea went longer. It didn't stop with my third till 16 weeks. I Just feel like it's going to be longer with this one too. I need to stop focusing on it.

Still need to make an appt with a midwife. I'm really dragging my feet on everything this pregnancy.

[Junie]

That is such lovely news Pearl!!! Congrats on having a healthy little baby growing inside of you :)

[Junie]

Hopefor4- I'm sorry you're feeling so sick, it can be so hard to think of anything else when you feel awful though. I completely understand.

True Blue- how are you feeling today?

Besides some mild headaches and a big appetite, I'm feeling fine, barely pregnant actually. I'm fine if it stays like this!

[True Blue]

Junie not too bad today, nausea all day but seems milder and only gets bad in waves.
When it eases off I'm worried - I will not relax until after our first ultrasound God willing. Booked one privately for 3 weeks time.

:fx:

I'm glad the headache wore off :hugs: it's a stressful time x

[Junie]

I have an appt on Monday. Honestly I think it is too early and I won't see a HB and it will stress me out (I'll only be 5 weeks +3) but it was the only time they could get me in. Ugh. I should have waited until Monday to call. Oh well can't change it now. They always think I'm farther along based on last menstrual cycle but since I didn't ovulate until CD20 it pushes me back a week... Trying not to stress about it but it is hard!!

[True Blue]

I could have organized one for Monday but had the same concern - I picked 3 weeks but I do wish I had gone with sooner.

[Pearl327]

Thanks ladies. We had a lovely evening phoning all our family to let them know.
Sorry you are having a hard time hopefor4. I hope the nausea eases soon.

[Ashforblue]

Hope you feel better soon Hopefor4, & that you won't get as sick with this one!

I felt sick again yesterday but today feel good again! Starting to pick up on my eating which stink cause I don't want to gain anymore weight till the 2nd trimester... Feeling a little disconnected from this baby... Prob b/c I haven't seen it yet. Apt # 1 is a little over 2 weeks away & now I think it will be a little too early for nub guessing! Booooo, I don't want to change it again since I'm so worried about heartbeat...
Is anyone working out? I really need to get back to it!!

[Ashforblue]

Anyone hear from Goodmom?

[Boyboygirl]

Hey all! It's hard to get a chance to come on here as much as I'd like but it's nice to see how everyone is doing. Poor Fox though :(. I miscarried twins last winter - my first miscarriage and it was awful.
Aside from that I've only had two heathy pregnancies with my boys but it still makes me a bit nervous about this one. Partly too bc I barely have any symptoms (just pretty tired mostly). I'm still only 4 weeks 4 days, but with both boys I had such strong symptoms from the beginning. My first appt is 1.5weeks away and then from there I'll book an ultrasound. I guess there's no point in worrying right?

[goodmom]

Hi ...All

Thanks Ash for remembering me ... sorry for being a lurker and not posting here ...
I read abt fox it was a devastating news ... :(
I was so nauseous that reading anything abt pregnancy was making me feel more sick ... now m much better but still stay v tired specially with my dds ...

Pearl and mandy ..great news tht ur scan went well :) Ash its good tht u r feeling better now ...i know with pregnancy its always a matter of On and Off state ... m gng through tht ...
Boyboy ... please dont worry with my girls i never got any symptoms before 7 weeks ...so hope for the good :) ...

[Foxcubblue]

Hello lovely ladies

Thank you so much for all your support and concern, it means a lot! We are doing ok, slowly coming to terms with things. we bought a little flowering cherry tree for the garden in the week and buried 'smudge' underneath it.

Trying to summon the strength to start swaying again but it is hard, as I know how many months of hard prep went into last sway and I just want to be pregnant again asap! Also found out that according to Ramzi theory we were having a boy. I also just felt that we were having a boy. Ho hum!

I will be stalking on here to see how you are all getting on, wishing you very happy and healthy pregnancies!

[Pearl327]

Oh fox, that is a lovely idea with the cherry tree.. Also Ramzi theory is wrong as often as it is right and your DS is still out there waiting for the right time to join your family. My SIL over a year an a half ago now had a late term loss at 20 weeks just before Christmas and in the feb she conceived a healthy Boy my now 9month old nephew. So getting a DS after a loss is possible.

[Junie]

Fox I think what you did with the cherry tree is beautiful. Big hugs to you.

[Boyboygirl]

Thanks Goodmom - that makes me feel better :). Maybe it is my girl in here then! My sister is having a girl any day now and she had no sickness either. Maybe with your nausea it's a sign it's your boy! I was horribly nauseous with both boys.
Big hugs Foxclub, sounds like you're doing well though and getting ready to move forward.

[Ashforblue]

Oh Fox that's an amazing idea! A beautiful tribute to your babe:heart::heart: I'll be cheering you on whenever your ready to try for your rainbow baby!!!

[Ashforblue]

Boyboygirl~ I didn't have much nausea with either of my girls as well!! Fx for you!

Goodmom~ glad to hear from you! Sorry that your feeling so sick... I hope it doesn't last long for you! When is your apt? I think we have one around the same time? Mines the 25th...

[goodmom]

Fox ...m very hopeful tht u will be blessed with ur long awaited boy soon ... hope we hear good news from u soon ....hugss[emoji8]
Boyboy ... thanku so much for ur kind words i hope its a boy ...but i was nauseous with my girls too ...so i m little scared from inside ...only difference is tht i have got meat aversions this time which i never got with my girls i could eat everything ... so letss see... hope u r right [emoji173] [emoji4] ...
Ash... thank u so much ...how r u feeling now... i have a scan on 26th ...v nervous i m ... Best of luck for ur Appt...hope all goes well for u and baby [emoji173] [emoji4] ...

[Ashforblue]

Thx Goodmom! Praying everything is growing beautifully with your baby as well :)

I was feeling less sick but today has been bad... My boobs had stopped hurting as bad but today they hurt worse then ever.. Really painful actually! I'm so tired during the day but have insomnia at night.... I guess I should be happy Bout the symptoms since when the go away for a bit I get nervous!!
I'm having issues with my vegan diet as well... I think I've developed an allergy to soy which stinks since it made a big boost for me in protien.. Going to have to go to my normal dr soon since I've had these welts/hives for 6 months now... I would think about adding cheese to my diet for the pregnancy, but I'm allergic to cheese! I just can't win:(

[XXforhubby]

Thread crashing! Goodmom, you totally have a great shot at a boy! I have been nauseous, sometimes horribly so, and had food aversions with all of my boys!!!

Tons of my blue dust for you [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]!!!!


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

[goodmom]

Aww Ash ... m so sorry u are having so many issues with ur diet ...Praying tht u get better soon ..I remember one day i was so hungry but food was making me sick ... i was so frustrated tht i wanted to cry hard lol .... but now its getting much better ... i know its hard ... but may be this is how a motherhood badge is gained :) ...huggss ..

Xxforhubby ...thanks a lot dear ... i really hope u r right and hope u get ur wished baby too ... sending u lots of pink dust to u xx....

[goodmom]

Ok ladies a question ...have any of u done or doing any silly thing/stuff lately?... in terms of just satisfying ur inner soul for desired child ... As for me ...i taught my little one to pray for baby brother lol ...and now she comes to me and in her own words she would say "oh God ...brother....Amen " lol :) ...tht just makes me v happy ...i love my girls so much xx

One day i was watching a prog. abt baby delivery and i was thinking ok whatever she will deliver i will hv same gender baby and she delivered a girl and i was like :( ...oh ok thn ...lol sometimes u become so crazy and childish with all this stuff :)

[Pearl327]

Goodmom. After my sway for DS I was telling everyone I was hoping for a DD as a way of protecting myself from all the comments of "I bet you are hoping for a boy but you are going to get another girl"- you wouldn't believe how many people said that to me, just because both myself and DH are from girl heavy families. 11 sisters between us and no brothers.

Ash maybe you are off soy as your body's way of protecting your baby boy. Too much soy can cause a birth defect of the urethra of boys.

[goodmom]

Aww Pearl bless u .... dont know how people can be so rude ... May God give u ur desired child Amen...

Yes Ash may be Pearl is right our bodies are much more intelligent thn we think :)

[True Blue]

Hi mommas, well I'm still very sick, I'm not vomiting but I have unbearable nausea. I can eat but turn off pretty much everything I eat once I've eaten it. Starting to feel we will have another DD as I am so sick.

I know we shouldn't go off symptoms but I can't help it.

I have always had wretched nausea with all of my boys. DS1, I would puke for no random reason and had horrible nausea all the time, DS2 I had horrible nausea with dizziness, and with this little guy I'm pregnant with I had the worst nausea ever! Nothing helped! Medicine tamed it a bit, eating made it worse, and not eating cause horrid acid reflux!!!

I think you have a boy in there [emoji6]!!!

Really, so there is still hope :D

This is awful nausea - I'm glad of it but it's awful.

[XXforhubby]

Totally- you have a boy growing in there! I'd be surprised if you don't!!


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

[Ashforblue]

Goodmom~ my oldest says I'm having a boy b/c she really wants a brother! My youngest says i have 2 babies in my belly, a boy for her sis & a girl for her! Lol!! & the girl baby is her baby & she talks to her everyday��

Pearl~ actually the hives started about 6 months ago... I thought it was the supplements I went on for boy diet or the protien powder I was on but I stopped all those but my prenatal & I still get them.... For soy to affect you in that way you'd have to eat an ungodly amount.. The estrogen it produces is completely different then the one our bodies produce... There's actually been quite a few studies on this. I am allergic to quite a few things like cheese & beef so it's not out of the realm of possibilities for my body to decide to be allergic to soy... Of course being pregnant does make you more susceptible to allergies, so it probably is making it worse!! The bad thing is, soy is in everything! Of course I'm not even sure that's what it is... Won't know till I get a Drs apt!

True~ hope this sickness passes you by quickly!
I've decided I'm going to stop complaining so much and try to enjoy this since it's my last! I've noticed all my post that I'm usually complaining about something, lol!!
Hope all you ladies are doing well����

[Ashforblue]

Btw Pearl, I can't believe people said that to you when you were preggo! People can be sooo rude! I'm kinda nervous about all the comments that will come in with this pregnancy...

[Boyboygirl]

im already annoyed knowing the same comments I'll hear over and over again too. 'Did you try for a girl?' 'Chances are it's another boy' etc. people need to keep their comments to themselves - it's none of their business!

[Pearl327]

People can't help but comment. They don't think about how it affects us and they believe that they are the 1st people to make that comment or observation.
What I also thought was extremely rude was when I was out with DD and DS when DS was a small baby random people used to stop and tell me how lovely it was to be done after two or to have the "perfect" family. We had always planned on having 4 or 5. I even had an aunt who has 5 kids tell me that. I just looked at her and said so if Ashling was 2nd the other 3 boys would never have been born. She replied with-well you never know. Crazy

[TiffSal]

Finger crossed everyone get the gender they swayed for. Just a waiting game until the gender scan. My nausea calmed down but got a small appetit...nothing appeals to me. 3rd child and different pregancy again....

You right Pearl people cant help but comment and can be rude..i just let them talk....

Whos having their 12 weeks scan soon? mine is coming up in a little more than 2weeks...i hear the sonographer ill be seeing is really good at nubshoys. So impatient but so anxious

[goodmom]

Ash ... ur kids are so adorable... give them my love mwah ...

True ... I hope that ur sickness passes soon so that u can enjoy ur pregnancy to the fullest ...

Its true ... i dont understand how can you make someone feel bad specially in this condition when they are pregnant and so sensitive ... yes Tiffsal u r right.. they should be left to just talk and walk away ... Hope ur scan goes v well ... oh u must be so excited ...Here in uk they dont even give u a hint of gender at 13 week scan ... But i m v excited for u :) ...plz keep us updated...

Mine is due on 26th Sep ... fingers crossed ... :)

[TiffSal]

Thank you good mum. You dont nornally here in australia either I just got referred by a friend as he was right with her...might only be 90% accurate but im going mental thinking about it everyday!! Not long to wait for you too!!

We havent told our boys yet but im sure my oldest is getting the hint...we are waiting the 12 weeks scan to tell them and i cant wait

[Pearl327]

Tiff I am going to ask for a nub shot, just for fun - from my consultant on the when I am back in at 13+ weeks I am not going to ask him what he thinks though as he probably wouldn't say that early.

We are still thinking of not finding out (officially) but I know the guesses I get on here will give me a pretty good idea of what we are having.

[TiffSal]

I think if i had 1ds 1dd i could go for a suprise but 2ds is making me so impatient to find out...

[babypinkno3]

I guess I'll join the group. I just got my BFP two days ago and it was a total shock. We were not TTC yet but we also weren't preventing. I didn't get a sway started, but I'm hoping since I was still BF and not taking vitamins that it will sway girl. I'm going crazy reading all the stats on three same-gender siblings but I know I'll just have to wait and see. My EDD is probably 4/11. I don't go in to confirm till the 25th. This is gonna be a loooooong two weeks.

[DreamingPink2015]

I couldn't resist the urge and even though I said to myself I wouldn't do a date scan, I did it today

By my calculations I should be 6w 4d but baby measured 6w I know it is so tiny that there could be variations at this time but I just never had that happen with my other two :(
I am very regular and 99% of when I ovulated hence the stress26629

Heart beat was 127 so I am assuming that pretty good

Got an appointment with my obstetrician in 2 weeks time lucky he has a machine in his office so will get to see the bub again

Tried to find out which side was right or left but I think I confused the poor tech

[Pearl327]

Congratulations and welcome babypinkno3. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.

DreamingPink 2015. It must have been lovely to see your little one. I wouldn't worry about being a few days out and you have seen a good strong heartbeat. My DD and this one measured correct for dates (using a 28 day cycle - mine is 26 days) so 2 days behind. Girls can be smaller - of course this is not true for everyone.

[TiffSal]

Congrats babypink on your bfp.

Dreampink how nice is it? I agree with Pearl dont worry im measuring 3 days smaller and heartbeat was 136....

I hope you are right pearl about girl measuring smaller ;)

[Pearl327]

It has been true 15times out of 18 for my close friends and family.

[TiffSal]

My ds was measuring on time. My ds2 was measuring 2days behind and this one 3-4 days....finger crossed you right pearl ;)

Were you sick with your dd?

[Pearl327]

Nope I have never had a moment of nausea on any this one included so far. The only time I have gotten sick was during labour.

[True Blue]

I'm so jealous, nausea is ruining my pregnancy so far. It's really bad.

[Pearl327]

I hope it eases soon TrueBlue so you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy

[Boyboygirl]

Welcome babypink! So exciting for you!
True blue - can you get a prescription from your doc for the nausea? With my ds 2 I was on diclectin for 17 weeks.

[Ashforblue]

Congrats and welcome Babypink!

I agree with the others dreaming, I wouldn't worry about a few days behind...

True~ I felt the sAme in the beginning, but the nausea has eased & I only get it once in awhile.. It slowed down at 9 weeks, hoping the same happens for you!

[Junie]

True- I'm so sorry, dealing with 24/7 nausea is awful. I had it really bad with my boys, are you taking anything for it? There are medicines which can help.

Welcome Babypink!!

[Junie]

My dates were spot on, on my appt on Monday and although it was too early to see a HB (5wks 3days) the fact that I was measuring right on time was calming. My next appt will be after our vacation at 9 wks.

[TiffSal]

True i used to take ginger tablets for nausea for ds2. I think ginger helps....

This is great for you Junie! Enjoy your holidays! 😊

[True Blue]

Thanks Mommas :hugs: I think I will go to my G.P and see if there is anything I can get.

That's such good news Junie :cheer: my scan is for 9 weeks I'm so nervous xx

[Junie]

I know it will go great True!

[Pearl327]

Great news Junie.
True I am sure your scan will go fine. You have the nausea to show a healthy baby growing in there.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

I am so excited to join you ladies!!! I've not popped in until today but I love how many names I know :)
I got my bfp yesterday on a drug store brand FRER, and a negative digital FRER brand at 10dpo. This morning 11dpo another positive (dollar store brand this time).
Anyways it's been sinking in all day that in fact I AM pregnant! The disbelief that I caught it on what I was debating to be my last cycle... Just thrilled to pieces! Pink or blue doenst mean a thing anymore!!!

EDD 4/20 haha

Welcome hitme, so pleased you have joined us :)

I have my booking appointment today so will get a date for my nt scan, just the thought of it is making me feel really nervous, I just know I'm going to see a boy nub.

How are things with everybody else? True, I hope your nausea is getting better?

[True Blue]

Mandy it is. I am so relieved yet worried at the same time. It started to ease up yesterday afternoon, it was getting a little worse again around lunch time just as DH arrived home with the bands. I popped them on and have been slightly nauseous since but very bearable :fx:
Now keeping the bands hidden is a bigger issue than the nausea :D

Good luck with your booking appointment :)

[TiffSal]

Aww good luck mandy! Very exciting! What makes you think boy? I got mine in 2 weeks and cant come quick enough!

True i hope it will get easier soon. Not the best feeling :( were your previous pregnancies like that?

[True Blue]

I've had a mix Tiff from 2 weeks of nausea to 20 weeks of nausea so hoping this one will be the two week version.

[TiffSal]

Fingers crossed for you True!! Xx

[mandyp85]

True, I'm sure everything is well with your little bean, I think even from the womb they like us to know they are the boss, making us think the nausea has gone then it will come back with avengence lol, just to keep us on our toes lol.

Tiff, I think I'm thinking boy just because I don't want to get my hopes up for a girl, would rather be convinced of a boy then maybe have a nice girl surprise. I think as well its because I had two boys in a row but then I was eating a very boy diet when I got pregnant with them. Think its just a defense mechanism really, if I'm convinced boy I wont be as disappointed.

[TiffSal]

Im totally with you on that. My 2 boys were conceived the same but this one was so much different. But i think like you, i cant think a girl to protect myself.

I started looking at boys names but not girls...my husband told me to think positive and think girl. Which i told him he was crazy but He will be very very disappointed if it will not be the case.

Good luck for your scan today and show us some pics! ;)

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Im the same way Mandy. I've VERY set for boys, and I wasn't like a rock solid swayer. I actually call my sway the wishy washy sway lol there's likely nothing measurable about it haha

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Did anybody else start feeling symptoms as early as your bfp? I seem to remember being that way with ds4, and im not sure it's all in my head or not but I have tender boobs, slight nausea, especially if I go too long without a snack (and last week zero snacking, and skipping meals! I couldn't dream of doing that now!) and also stiffness in my groin area...
It can't all be in my head lol

[Junie]

Ugh 6 weeks tomorrow and I already feel awful. I'm doing b6 and unisom but it isn't helping much. I just feel so nauseous and sick 24/7. I was really hoping to have a pregnancy with no morning sickness like some women do! I'm also 95% sure this will be boy 3. My sway was barely a sway at the end but I was OK with that.

[True Blue]

Oh Junie you totally have my sympathies it's horrible it really is. I know deep down were grateful but it doesn't make it any more tolerable :hugs:

[Junie]

True- I promised myself while TTC that I wouldn't complain about feeling sick and would try to just ignore it (mind over matter type thing) but I'm failing miserably. I just hate feeling awful like this and knowing I'm going to feel this way for weeks. Hugs to you I hope yours is almost over!

[mandyp85]

I definitely think that for sanity sake you are better off not convincing yourself that you have your DG in there cos if you do that I imagine the disappointment would be more extreme, even tho we will love our babies no matter what the gender.
Why do you feel like you are more set for boys hitme? Have you ever tried swaying before?
I cant say that I feel I'm set for boys really as I got my dd with no swaying at all and things were similar this time to when I conceived her but I still feel I have no hope lol.
I didn't have a scan today sadly but I am booked to have one on the 24th Aug so in ten days time ��

[mommymachine]

Hi ladies! Just wanted you all to know that I am following you and am so glad you are having good pregnancies (except for the yucky awful horrible morning sickness)! DH and I have decided to drop all swaying except for LE. Plus we are NTNP. We are leaving everything completely in God's hands. So I *may* still yet be in this due date. I guess time will tell!

Just on account that I have 4 and my Dh s siblings all have boys lol
I didn't sway with the others but when you have 4, even swaying might not cut it. It's ok. Im totally ok with it. Im getting older and although I know I'll have slighter than higher hopes at my testing I won't be surprised or even remotely disappointed if I hear boy.

True- I promised myself while TTC that I wouldn't complain about feeling sick and would try to just ignore it (mind over matter type thing) but I'm failing miserably. I just hate feeling awful like this and knowing I'm going to feel this way for weeks. Hugs to you I hope yours is almost over!

That sucks Junie - I have a feeling mine will be in full force quickly too.
I feel queasy already but it's bc of he constant salivation. Def have lots of symptoms flooding in already.
I hope your ms passes quickly [emoji173]️

Lmao! It took me awhile to eat more and to snack. I still crave the foods I ate while swaying and still pretty much eat what I did while swaying. Obviously I snack and have added meat back in, but I haven't gained much and haven't in 5 weeks [emoji16]. My OB is ok with it and doesn't think I'll put too much more on but this is different for me!

Enjoy eating without weighing the cost benefit ratio and SNACK! I ate cereal like a mad woman after getting my BFP and still snack on cereal and cereal snacks!!


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

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Cereal was the first in my agenda!!! Hahah! And I made a huge turkey dinner [emoji23][emoji23] but you swayed much longer than I did, and yet I already miss diet coke. I gave that up the second I suspected I was pregnant.

Lol and i swayed for boy an ate so much tht my stomach looks like baloon and i look like 5 months pregnant [emoji23] [emoji3]

[covered in blue]

Haha I think a lot of us look 5 months pregnant already. I am living in track pants and some jeans that are a bit big that my sister gave me. I'm seriously considering buying some maternity clothing already lol. I have nothing left from the others as DS3 was going to be our last so I need to buy everything again (including baby clothing). Should be fun :)

I've been throwing up today too. I think it's all the extra mucus setting me off as I have a yucky cold too :(. I had forgot how aweful it was. Lucky DH took the afternoon off work to look after me and the boys :). Totally spoilt!
I feel a bit down about my MIL too. The woman can be really mean. DH and I are going to bid on a section at auction we like so we can build our own home and she is just nothing but negative. She's just been going on and on about how I always make bad choices and have budget tastes and never choose anything nice. She constantly compares me to SIL who can do nothing wrong (including producing the perfect PP!). I hope I never turn out anything like her :(

Well I hope all those little babies are growing nicely and all the mummies are getting a break from the morning sickness xx

[TiffSal]

You guys are lucky eating. I can but i dont feel like much and nothing satisfied me. I dont have the inspiration to cook for dh and boys (tired and nausea comes and goes) 😣

Covered im sorry to hear about your mil. Is your sil her daugther?
Gl bidding on your house. Just think it is your house your way. You are there for your family and not her.
Mine and sil (hb sister) have been irritating me everytime i see them. Lucky i only see them about 1 or 2 a month. We dont have the same way of raising our boys and consequently my boys suffers from it...but appart from that theyvcan be lovely people lol.

You will have a brand new house before baby arrive?

[Junie]

I've also been enjoying cereal and peanut butter! I have quite a craving for coke whereas coffee makes me feel sick so I'm drinking coke still.

[covered in blue]

I'm drinking coke too Junie. Whatever hits the spot :)

Tiffsal - thank you. Yes SIL is DH's sister, so the daughter of MIL. They have serious champagne tastes. Their kids are in label everything! But they are also in serious debt so I don't see how that's better.
We won't build for a year or 2. We just started our own business last year so we have to be careful and we need to save a bit more so we can build the house we want. Trying not to get too excited though. It's quite a big section so we will have heaps of room for the kids to run around and a small paddock for some animals etc. It will be a better lifestyle for the boys.

Has anyone been buying things for the baby yet? One of the department stores has 40% off nursery this weekend and I'd love to go and get some of the basics but I'm also a bit scared to do it in case something happens.

[TiffSal]

Covered. It is her daughter that is why. I know how you feel. 😣 but very exciting to get a new house!

I started to buy neutral things u see in sale at the moment. Boy or girl it will be hard to use my boy's clothes because they were winter babies and this one will be a summer...thats the escuse to buy anyway 😊😊

Has anyone been feeling pickles at 10pm? Or sour thibgs late at night?

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Covered that sucks about your mil she sounds like such a treat.

Tiffsal - allll I wanted with ds 4 was sour stuff. Pickles, cucumbers in plain white vinegar, lemon water, and sir candies. It's the only way I was able to survive.

Thanks Fox! We have had good attempts. Didn't stick with one attempt either! Swaying is official out the window. It is time to just have a baby :) Will you be attempting soon do you think?

Waiting for one AF, then going for it. I completely threw in the towel on diet etc when pregnant so wanted a bit of time to build things up again. I was pleased with my sway before and also really felt that it had worked. I have found it v hard to be back swaying, but just focussing on one day at a time and praying that AF arrives soon and that we conceive first month trying!

Last week I must have been super bloated as I had a big bump and was wearing maternity clothes.Today I am worried as I just have the tiniest of bumps again and back wearing my normal clothes.

[Junie]

Pearl327 the baby is really small until quite long so it was just bloat and it us very normal that it would go away again before your real bump starts, don't worry!

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

The bloat is REAL. Like im JUST pregnant now and it's started. I got pretty skinny,

I did this side by side (I didn't have a side photo saved on my phone, but I was pretty flat bellied!)

I am very hesitant to step in here but I thought maybe it would be good luck. I got a bfaintp on Aug 12th and went in for blood work to confirm. My hcg level was only 9. I went back today and my level was up to 60! I am cautiously optimistic that everything will be fine. My sister is a bit of a negative Nancy and keeps telling me that it's probably ectopic. I am doing my best to ignore her (she still thinks of herself as infertile despite having 5 children). Anyway, my EDD is April 21st. I swayed girl, although DH said this was our last cycle ttc so I threw in the towel and ended up with 3 attempts in my fertile window (we dtd every day cd10-14, skipped cd15, then dtd every day from cd16-18. I o'd on cd18 ). Sorry for the long post. I hope you ladies don't mind if I join you in here. :)

Congratulations momamia.
Hitme were you on clomid. You definitely could get multiples. I was going to ask did anyone here take it as in my duedate group after I swayed with DS there were loads of twins.

I am stood on the scales this morning and it read 6lb up on pre pregnancy so this morning it was green smoothie with hemp for protein, falafel salad for lunch and lentil mousaka for dinner. And no crap was eaten. I also did my 1st baby bells DVD workout of this pregnancy this evening. But I think it am going to have some chocolate now before bed.

[momamia4]

Pearl, hitme and I both took clomid. A green smoothie sounds delicious!! I ate 2 donuts today and 2 string cheeses. I'm not sure what dinner is going to be, lol!

Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Yep! But I did have a short luteal phase so I did actually kinda need it too, but it started off as just for seating.
Moma how many rounds for you?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[momamia4]

This was my second round of clomid. My RE prescribed it because I usually ovulate "late" (around cd21). He was concerned about egg quality especially after my reversal, which lowers odds of conception anyway. It only bumped up my ovulation a few days; cd17 1st cycle and cd18 2nd cycle. So, I don't know how much it helped with quality.

[Ashforblue]

Oooohh, I hope we have some twins in this group!! Would be so exciting!
Pearl I've gained like 7-8 lbs & have started working out as well... Eek! I reaaaallly need to stop eating the crap!

How's everyone doing on the morning sickness front? I still get it on & off.... Still get sick at the thought of a lot foods.. So have been eating a lot of carb heavy plain foods, thus the weight gain.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Im the opposite ash, I've been queasy and the only thing that eases it is snacking. I shall be a whale in no time.

Not far after you mandy and ash. This day cant come quick enough.

The fatigue and the nausea are slowly going away.... i can do things a bit more in the evening. And eat a bit more at diner time. Like you ash only carbs does it for me... soon to say bye bye to the 1st trimester 😀

[mandyp85]

My appt is on the 24th and I will be around 13 weeks by then, very excited and nervous at the same time. Good luck to the rest of you ladies who have a scan coming up :)

Hitme, I will keep my fingers crossed that you have the little beans in there, I think you have a great chance of twins. My mum had two sets completely naturally within 2 years of each other, twins are a very special thing aren't they.

My morning sickness is getting a little better, I think lol. If I stand up for too long I start to suffer and then get light headed or if I don't snack regularly but its not constant thank goodness.

[Pearl327]

Mandy, Ash and Tiff best of luck with the appointments next week. I hope you get lovely clear nub shots too.
My second scan is the week after on the 4th September.

Roll on the 2nd trimester is right. It is my favourite time. I can't wait for the regular strong movements that don't make you stop and wonder is it baby or gas, and the cute not too big but definately pregnant not fat bump and having energy to do things.

[covered in blue]

Ahhh so exciting :). I can't believe some of you are moving onto the second trimester!! I have a few more weeks to wait. I hope all of the scans etc go great.

I was just watching Location Location Location. Both the couples had baby girls during the filming. One of the families then had a second girl. I hate it when my GD gets set off but that was more than enough to do it. Darn :(. I had been doing fine too. Trying so hard to keep my eyes on my own family xx

[Pearl327]

Covered the family with two girls are probably hoping for a boy in the future. My SILs all had the same gender on their 2nd in the past year and all were hoping for opposites but all 3 totally dismissed me when I tried to talk to them about swaying when I was pregnant with DS. If I have a girl this time they will have to listen[emoji6]

Pearl you already got your date boked?

[Pearl327]

Pearl you already got your date booked?

That is down to DH. He asked when would we be looking at the c-section happening and doc told us the 3 dates that he would be doing surgery around my due date and we opted for 39+2 as with DD I went into labour at 40weeks exactly and DS I went into labour at 39+5.

Ash I am not opting for VBA2C as it is not really done in Ireland plus my failed VBAC with DS was the same reason as DD. 3 day labour starting with regular contractions 20 mins apart for the 1st day on the 2nd day dropping from 20 mins to 3 mins apart. On the 3rd day( the day I went into hospital with both) I was only 2cm and never progressed from that ( Well I did get to 3cm with DS but I was back to 2cm the next time they checked) both times my waters broke naturally in the hospital too. With DD I was on the oxytocin drip ( Was overcontracting as the contractions were not the problem, my body was going into shock blood pressue and temp were dropping continuously over the 8hrs I was on the drip - they decided to section. We DS i took no drugs at all and was in the labour ward for 14hrs staying active on the ball and rocking my hips by the bed contractions got down to less then 1 min apart, the pressure was unbelievable and I was telling the midwifes that I wanted to push, but low and behold I was still only 2cm - and was taken off to surgery not long later.
This time i do not fancy another 3 day labour - 2 days of proper intense contractions that go nowhere. I have a benign tumour that is wrapped around my spinal cord and I always wonder if that is in some way blocking my progress in labour as none of the women in my family apart from me have ever had a problem giving birth.

Pearl you are lucky with my ds2 i had a date at 36weeks...i havent had a hospital appointment yet but ill ask in a few weeks.

Well, the RE's office just called. My hcg went up but only to 141. The nurse said it isn't looking good and I'll probably have a miscarriage. The doubling time decreased a lot. It's 77 hours, instead of the 35 hours it was between the first 2 levels. Ugh.... Now my sister is messaging me asking me what the doctor said. I just don't want to tell her. I don't know what to say to her. I am just going to go cry for a while and maybe I'll figure out what to say to her.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Take the time for yourself. Shut your phone down for as long as you need and have some quiet time.

That being said can they not be wrong? I didn't have repeat blood work with my miscarriages - I didn't know the writing was on the wall.

My doc office just called and they want me back in for more bw (I was mad saying I knew they would, and that I had asked for a second set of forms and they wouldn't give it to me). Well im in holidays until Thursday so it's going to have to wait I guess. Im no where near my doc office.

I just wanted to say thank you to the person whos updatding the original post with due dates and sways 😊

[momamia4]

Thanks ladies! I hope the nurse is just jumping to conclusions but only time will tell. I definitely feel pregnant. The most frustrating thing is that I don't have anything to compare this experience to. I'm hoping that it's just what my body usually does when I'm pregnant. I don't usually get a positive pregnancy test until later but this time I got one before I missed my period. I am praying that's a good sign. I was able to shut my sister up by telling her I didn't want to talk about it right now. Surprisingly, that worked!

Hitme, FX it's just your uterus expanding to make room for baby. :)

Hitme I'm guessing it's stretching pains for you - try not to worry as hard as that is.

Junie so glad the ginger pills are working for you, I'm still sick all day it's awful. I might try them too.

[Junie]

True it is worth a try! At the moment I'm doing unisom and b6, peppermints, small amount of protein every few hrs, sea bands, and now the ginger capsules (purchased at drug store or you could find at natural health food store) twice a day and the ginger capsules make the biggest difference for me by far! Plus I like that they are something natural. I'm on holidays and visiting family and it is so important that I not feel awful and am able to function and now I can. The only thing is I still can't eat very much without feeling sick, but better then nothing!

[Ashforblue]

Really praying that this is a sticky bean Momamia!! I'm so sorry that your going through this��...

Maybe I'll try the ginger pills as well! Where can you get them?

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Thanks ladies! I hope the nurse is just jumping to conclusions but only time will tell. I definitely feel pregnant. The most frustrating thing is that I don't have anything to compare this experience to. I'm hoping that it's just what my body usually does when I'm pregnant. I don't usually get a positive pregnancy test until later but this time I got one before I missed my period. I am praying that's a good sign. I was able to shut my sister up by telling her I didn't want to talk about it right now. Surprisingly, that worked!

Hitme, FX it's just your uterus expanding to make room for baby. :)

Junie, I'm so glad the ginger pills are working for you! :)

Momamia I'm so sorry you are going through this, it's just awful. I hope there is still a chance for your little bean. I have never had levels checked so don't know how mine have ever been.

My uterus is def expanding rapidly. I have to go dress shopping bc I LOST so much weight on LE that none of my wedding attire fits and I have 3 weddings in 8 days.... But the bump/bloat/ is making it tricky to shop.

Moma - are you spotting? Or is all this info related to your levels?

[momamia4]

It's all related to my levels. I'm not spotting at all. My cervix is still high, firm and closed.

Thanks for your support ladies. It really means a lot!

Momamia I hope everything turns out okay. T&P

I don't go back for another u/s till sept 8. I think think I'm sore stressed about this than I should be. Now just patiently waiting.

[momamia4]

I am sure everything will be fine babypinkno3! :D Pregnancy sure is one big waiting game, isn't it?

I'm hoping I'll be able to go in for an ultrasound sometime this week (fx my levels get high enough!!). I'm really worried about an ectopic and it will be really reassuring to see that the baby implanted in my uterus. I just need my darn hcg level to cooperate and double appropriately!!!

[covered in blue]

I have my fingers and toes crossed for you ladies xx

[mandyp85]

Congratulations and welcome to the new ladies who have recently joined us :-)

Momamia, I hope your levels double appropriately and that things work out for you, I think your nurse needs to work on her sensitivity skills, it sounds like she could have worded it much differently so as not to cause you quite so much upset and worry.

Everybody else, I hope you are all well and your pregnancies are being kind to you.

AFM, I have my nt scan today, its 8.50am here in the uk and I have my appt at 12 so not long to go, very nervous and still expecting to see a boy nub, will be back with a pic later :-)

[TiffSal]

Thank you ladies ☺ I cant believe how quickly its come around to be honest, it felt like it would take forever to get to this point when I found out I was pregnant but its just flown by.

Good luck for Thursday tiff, I hope its good news health and nub wise for you ��

Am I right in thinking that ash has her scan tomorrow?

[TiffSal]

Hi All,

A very warm welcome to new ladies ... hoping for more and more mums will join this thread soon .. Sending u lots of baby dust Fox ...
Mandy and Ash ... hope all goes well for u both ... [emoji4]

I m due for a scan on 26th ... very excited and nervous too ...

[mandyp85]

Thank you ladies for the good luck :-) I think I can safely say I am still very much team green lol baby was not cooperating at all and she could not do the nt part of the scan and she couldn't get crown to rump length for dating either, she was down the business end on more than one occasion tho and I can say I didn't notice anything other than straight lines but it was a very quick scan over and it was very busy down there so I cant say that I got a good look, never mind. I will pop up a pic of baby to see if anybody gets any vibes from it :-)

[momamia4]

So sorry foxcubblue!! FX for a sticky bean! :)

Mandy, how exciting!! I can't wait to see your pic! :)

Praying for a sticky 🎀 bean!

What an adorable little baby!!! :)

[Ashforblue]

My scan is tomorrow, eekkkk!! So just hoping to see a healthy baby & a nice strong heart beat at this point.... But wouldn't mind a clear nub shot even though I think it might be to early? Anyways, I'm super excited!

Good luck to all the other ladies having thier scams soon! Foxcub, I really hope you catch that first egg and are right back with us:fingers::heart:

Mandy, Your baby looks super cute & can't really see anything from your pic but maybe that means girl!! Fxfx!

[mandyp85]

Good luck for your scan ash, my baby was not having any of it today ha ha, I was sent out to empty my bladder, then have a drink and a move around then back to empty my bladder again and it would still not get in a good position for nt and crl so I'm still none the wiser really, she was down at the rump at one point tho and it was very busy down there but I didn't see anything boy nub looking but I'm still not getting my hopes up. My due date has now changed as well to 26/2/16 so technically I'm in the wrong due date thread :-)

Hope you catch that egg soon fox :-)

[momamia4]

Yay, Ash!! I'm so excited for everyone scans! :D FX baby cooperates and you all get a nub shot!

[Pearl327]

Best of luck tomorrow Ash. I hope you see a happy healthy little one with a clear boy nub

Mandy when are you going back for a rescan

[mandyp85]

I'm not Pearl :-( not for the nt scan anyway, I'm having the quad blood test instead. My anatomy scan is on 6/10 so in about 6 weeks time.

[texasnewbie]

First time posting to this thread! Our NT scan is tomorrow morning, and I'm so nervous that I can't focus on work. I know I am being foolish, and should (and would be) happy with a healthy baby, but I would just love it if our sway worked. We've only just started telling people about the pregnancy, and everyone keeps saying "Oh, I bet you're hoping for a boy this time!" Sigh.

Just wanted to commiserate with people who understood!

[momamia4]

Congrats texasnewbie!!! FX baby cooperates! :) So excited to see pics!

Praying for a sticky 🎀 bean!

[mandyp85]

Congratulations and good luck Texas, I really hope your baby behaves, unlike mine lol I think we are going to have trouble with this one ha ha.

I think people say things like that not realising just how much it effects us, I guess for those who have never suffered from GD as far as they are concerned they are just asking an innocent question, I know its hard as I struggle with the comments but I just respond by saying "as long as its healthy thats all I'm bothered about" and they soon shut up lol although I do express my desire to some people, mainly my close family and close friend who understand. It is hard tho and I can totally relate to you.

[Pearl327]

Congratulations Texas newbie. I hope the scan goes well for you today

[covered in blue]

Welcome Texas :). Good luck Ash! I had a little giggle at us all having the scams :P

Thanks everyone! We just got back from our scan - baby is happy and healthy, and adorably was stretching and dancing all over the place. BUT it's as clear as day it's a girl. Textbook girl nub (I knew before I even asked the doc.) The doc was pretty well versed in nub-theory and said the baby is 85-90% girl. I can't say I am 100% okay with it now, but I am sure I will come to terms with it. DH is in good spirits, and said it's just meant to be!

I'm a pretty girly-girl myself, so maybe that's why God decided I was better equipped to be a girl-mom!

[Pearl327]

Congratulations on a healthy baby girl Texas.

Ash have you had your scan yet ?

[momamia4]

Hugs, texasnewbie! Congrats on your healthy little baby! :)

Praying for a sticky 🎀 bean!

Hey ladies! I did have my scan & baby is looking great!!! Measuring 4 days ahead & a nice strong heartbeat.. I got the harmony test done, I'll know in a week!!!!!! Will be so long! I'm thinking boy from shot but didn't get a clear pic so it's just a wishful guess, lol! Also, they said I'm showing so much b/c mu uterus never went down after my c sections! Lol covered! I was hoping no one noticed the scams! Damn typo, lol..
Here's my beautiful babe, let me know what you ladies think!26887

[XXforhubby]

Super cute baby! I can't make out the nub- it is obstructed by the cord and interference. I am getting boy vibes from the skull. It looks like my DS2!!!
