Morning sickness in full swing... Blahhhh.

[3'sacharm]

I'm sooooo tired today! Not sure I can muster up the energy to do anything but I have two boys to entertain. Bike ride after lunch I think... Nausea still here, travel sickness bands on permanently!!x

[baby2016baby]

Hello lovelies. Hope everyone is well. I've been camping for last few days (crazy I know) so just catching up. I'm 8 weeks today and I phoned to book in with midwife. Felt like they were having a go at me a bit on phone so it's put me on a downer a little. Since my last baby they have started doing blood tests for all the genetic conditions free of charge at ten weeks plus which is great but sadly they wont ask or disclose gender :( it's because any form of gender selection is highly illegal here. At least the conditions will be screened for that's something.

I've got about 5 weeks till my scan which they will do at 13 weeks. I'm expecting to be put back about 2/3 days based on my calculations as I think ff was confused due to such variations previous months. I'm feeling really exhausted. Far more than any pregnancy at this stage. Really struggling. Can't deceide if its being that bit older, being fatter than I've ever been (due to 6m on he), having 3 kids already or just this pregnancy being different. I've never EVER napped during day in my life (even with newborns) but two days I've had too and I'm in bed at 9 most nights. So glad I'm not working at moment as I honestly couldn't manage. hope people are doing better than me!!! I can't beleive how close some of you are to finding gender out. I'm so jelous!!!!

Xxx

[Magical22]

Wow! Congrats! Did you conceive naturally or do a FET cycle? How exciting!!

Natural shock after close to two years ttc and failed ivf cycles.

I hope everyone has a good day! [emoji8]

It's prob been discussed but is anyone doing the NIPT/ harmony blood test to find out gender. I know I will so when we announce at 12 weeks we can just say the gender without everyone saying all the usual things like I hope it's a girl etc.

[Cinss]

Not me I will see if I can get the tech to have a guess at my 12 week scan, if not will just have to wait till 20 weeks. The other tests are just a bit expensive for me, we are renovating our house slowly and also going on holidays in September to visit family, and then its going to be Xmas and I still have nothing for this baby, so finances are a bit tight right now

[jenren]

I'm still on the fence about the harmony test. It will cost about 120 for me to do which isn't terrible but that money could go towards other stuff :/
Right now I'm stressed trying to figure out who I am going to deliver with... whether I am going to have a hospital or birth center birth. I really want a birth center but I'm nervous because I have a hx of hemorrhage with all three previous births and with the last one I had a prolapse. I just wish I knew what decision to make

[baby2016baby]

Welcome and congratulations Jenren. I really want to do a blood gender test but they are very expensive in the UK. Easily the cost of a full decent travel system. Cheapest I've found is about £400 and not sure I can justify it just to find out only gender as the nhs ( free healthcare ) are now doing nipt for all the trisomies and other genetic conditions. Sadly they will not disclose gender so I'd have to have a privite nipt purely for gender. I could kind of justify it before as I could have used all the genetic testing to justify it but now that's availible anyhow freely, not so much!!!! I might have to wait for 16 week scan. They wont guess in UK at 13 weeks I tried everytime. I asked about a potty shot at my last scan and she said they don't do requests scans are purely for dating. It wasent even good enough to guess a nub !

[purple]

I am probably only doing a NIPT if the NT scan comes back high risk as my GP suggested. I'm still not even thinking about gender or much past the scan in just over a week.

Tomorrow I'm getting my progesterone tested and then will cut back on the pessaries and have it re tested early next week. I'm worried I will do the test tomorrow and the progesterone will be super low still because the baby isn't developing anymore. Although if my progesterone is ok I will probably just worry that the placenta is growing but the baby isn't. I just can't let myself be too positive about it yet, maybe after the scan.

[3'sacharm]

Purple - I'm feeling similar to you. We've had health issues with a previous baby so will have in depth scans early on but additionally, I can't help but worry this pregnancy won't work out and it's my last/only shot at a baby. We will have similar age gaps too as my eldest is 7 and youngest is 5 so basically 8 and 6 years respectively between my boys and this one! Quite daunting really...x

[baby2016baby]

Got my fingers crossed everything goes ok and these are your super stickies purple and 3 xxxxx oh not long for your scan purple i hope it eases some of the worry xxxx

[Magical22]

I have not got excited at all about this pregnancy and when I start too I stop myself. Had 3 miscarriages so really nervous about the date scan next Friday.

I can understand your concern Magical, fingers crossed for your scan.

Blood results were great so starting to wean off the progesterone tomorrow. I can't wait to be off it!!

I had my bloods taken for 12 week testing, only 3 sleeps till my scan 😀

[purple]

How exciting Cinss! The first of the 12wk scans!

What will your dates be then? Will you try to do nub guessing?

I'm getting nervous about mine now with less than a week to go (it's 10am next Saturday). I'm only going to be 11w 3d based on the last scan so no nub guessing. I really couldn't wait an extra week!

[Burakoam]

Horrendous nausea and vomitting. Easily I think the worst I've felt in any pregnancy ever. I feel like death. Just needed to type that out. I will be calling my OB on Monday for my regular pregnancy dose of zofran... B6 and unisom doesn't work for me and I can't go on much longer like this blech.

Drama queen I know. first trimesters are just so hard on me... was honestly hoping to get lucky just once and not get sick at all.

[Cinss]

I should be 12 + 2 at my scan, Im lucky they record the whole scan and give me a copy so I can take it home and analyze the heck out of it, try to find the nub shot haha

[Cinss]

That doesnt sound like much fun at all Burakoam 😔 hopefully not much longer till you get relief

[jenren]

Burakoam I was hoping to get lucky and dodge ms also. No such luck :( it's been dragging me down for werks. Diclegis does take a bit of the edge off along with my sea bands but the morning sickness never leaves completely and has really limited what I am able to eat and drink. I can't wait for the first trimester to end unfortunately I can't use Zofran because the side effect of constipation is worse than the ms :/ I hope yours gets better!

Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

[purple]

Sorry you both have bad ms Burakoam and jenjren. I guess at least it is a good sign that everything should be going ok.

I have never had ms that bad that I vomit, I just get nausea and feel yuck. This time has been worse than the last 2 miscarriages but I'm not sure if it was worse than my boys. I think DS2 was when I felt worse and DS1 was so long ago I can't remember now. I hate when I do feel sick but as soon as I feel ok I start worrying again!

[Burakoam]

couldnt keep anything down anymore so in to a walk in clinic i went today...got lucky and they pitied me and gave me zofran...just in time too they said my pee was a little concentrated so if i had put it off until monday like that i probably would have dehydrated very fast.

hope your MS passes soon Jen!! i had tried seabands when i was pregnant with angela and they did NOTHING for me not even a little help so i will take the constipation lol...i couldnt deal with the exhaustion i felt when on b6 + unisome (diclegis as its called) i was still pretty sick but then i was also sleeping all the time and with a baby who is almost 11 months that just started walking...nope! lol

Purple i completely understand. i went off of zofran 2 weeks early last pregnancy so still had 2 weeks of feeling pretty cruddy and then when i finally started feeling better i was worried it meant something had gone wrong! I am also feeling horrendously guilty because of all those advertisements these days saying "blah blah sue your doctor if you were on zofran and your baby has this or this or this" and im just like...but i had 3 perfectly normal babies...heh. this time however i am on it way earlier than i normally take it...with my oldest two i didnt get morning sickness until weeks 9-10 and i only had it until 12-13 weeks..with angela i got it at 10 and had it until almost 15 weeks that was a nightmare....this one i have been sick with since conception. Ugh.

[jenren]

Burakoam the sleepiness was awful with diclegis! I almost gave up on taking it because I couldn't function but a friend told me to give it one more week and the my body seemed to adjust because now I don't get tired with it :) I'm so glad the clinic gave you zofran! My Dr said the claims and lawsuits against it are unfounded so try not to stress about it!

Hmmm I have some pinkish tinged CM tonight when I wipe :( I'm not feeling very pregnant anymore so I am feeling pretty worried.

Edit: I have googled and it seems common to get some spotting when weaning from progesterone. Trying to relax as it wasn't very much...

[Burakoam]

Purple- 100% normal when coming off of progesterone to spot a little. If you aren't have back pain and pretty intense cramps with it and it stays light and small I would say you are in the clear!

Thinking of you hope all is ok, sounds common so try not to stress to much, easier said then done.

Has there been anymore spotting?

Fx for you Purple, hopefully the little bit of pink goes away soon x

[purple]

No more spotting so far and feeling a bit more nausea than yesterday although it's still not much. 5 sleeps until the scan.

[baby2016baby]

Glad it's stopped purple. That scan can't come soon enough!! I've got my booking appointment next Wed, I will be ten weeks. They said they are really busy at the moment. I also woke up today with gender nerves from nowhere. I can't stop thinking about how similar this is to my other pregnancies. I keep trying to convince myself this is new or i didnt feel like that but truth is its a mirror, all 4!

Hope everyone is ok. I'm sorry some of you have got the dreaded ms. I don't get sick just intense nausea, I find it worse if I don't eat every few hours, even though it's the LAST thing I feel like doing. I'm really looking quite plump in the tummy. I had to wear maternity clothes with my second at 10 weeks but managed to hold off till 20w with my 3rd as I was much smaller. I'm massive. Not looking forward to a telling off when I get weighed next week :(

[Burakoam]

baby same. only difference this pregnancy vs all the others is i am way fatter, and the sickness is way worse early on than all the others.

Zofran stopped working. i am trying to keep liquids and small bits of food down knowing its best for the baby but i am slowly losing my will here. i am not even taking it anymore as of this morning because why would i take something that wasnt helping?

7 weeks 2 days and im worried if i have another 5 weeks of this baby wont make it with the amount leaving my body vs the amount im able to get and keep in..

[baby2016baby]

Aww bless you. I've bought some sea bands today so going to try them. I am keeping stuff down but I feel nautios so I am having to force food in. I feel ok for an hour then sick again. I forgot about this part of pregnancy as I think I coped better previously. I really think the extra weight is having a huge impact too. I'm all yukky and feel unhealthy, feel like I need to crash diet/shakes/detox/excercise but or course I cant. I'm really miserable and I feel like i am moaning alot which is not like me I normally love pregnancy. My husband suggested going to gp, but what am i supposed to say, im a winging, moaning nag???

Hoping the worse morning sickness is a good sign for you. If I had anything notebly different id be filled with hope. Apparently the y hormone becomes dominant (proving there is a y lol) around 9 weeks (I'm 8w5d) so I'm praying I get something new soon. And counting down to 12 weeks when apparently people start to feel better. xx

[Burakoam]

we're whining and moaning nags together then baby. these may be our boys and they may very well kill us before we birth them, lol

[baby2016baby]

I really hope your right xxxxxx

[XXforhubby]

we're whining and moaning nags together then baby. these may be our boys and they may very well kill us before we birth them, lol

You crack me up! I have always had HORRENDOUS morning sickness with all of my boys. DS1 was a puke fest for 7. Whole. Weeks! DS2 I had the dizzy type of nausea that sometimes made me pass out and it lasted for 28. Whole. Weeks! DS3 I puked AND had the dizzy type of nausea for 16. Whole. Weeks!!

I hope you both get some much needed relief but know you have a healthy baby growing in there!!

Take my blue dust too, very much hoping for pink with #3 and our final baby.

Sorry to all those who have MS it sounds horrible.

I have my scan Friday which because I have long cycles and had no idea when I Oed might be to early to see much. But I suppose worse case scenario I could just get another referral and go back next week.

I still haven't let myself get excited about this pregnancy due to losses. But unfortunately like @baby2016baby I have had a couple of gender nerves also, so you are not alone. Which sounds bad when I should just be nervous about having a healthy Bub and seeing a heartbeat come Friday.

I hope everyone has a good day.

You girls can have some of my blue dust too!! It was like I was reading about my pregnancies with both my boys. I was SOOOOO sick both times! I am thinking this one is another boy too based on the nausea but I have also been so hungry this time so who knows? Got my MaterniT21 done this past Friday so we will know in a week or so.

I don't really believe different genders cause MS. I've had to many friends have the same gender and have bad MS and pregnancies with one and nothing with the other.

[Cinss]

Im back from my 12 week ultrasound. Everything was perfect and normal. Bubs is 7cm long, heartbeat is 149. Very low risk of Downs and trisomy. 2 hands and 2 feet with 5 fingers and toes. So I am feeling very blessed and greatful for all of that.

The tech asked me if I would like to know what she thinks the sex might be, so im just casually like oh yes id like to know, she zooms in on the nub and its a glaring flat white line. I knew immediately its a girl, she said in her opinion it is most likely a girl as the nub is completely flat with nothing above it. Im sure I hid any disappointment even though I felt it, im worried about telling hubby, he will feel it too I know probably worse than me. And the annoying thing is that I ended up with a disc of 30 images but none of the nub!

And I completely forgot to ask about thr cysts on my ovaries, she didnt even scan over them at all.

[Magical22]

So happy Bub is happy and healthy!

So very sorry you heard girl, I would do anything to hear girl at my 12 week scan! Hope hubby handles it well.

Oh cinns... Big hugs to you..I am happy baby is healthy and happy but sorry you didn't see and hear what you were hoping to see and hear about gender...

[Magical22]

How did hubby take the news?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[baby2016baby]

Wow genders are coming in. Glad scan went ok ciness. Sorry nub looked girly. I'm not sure how accurate nub guessed are? Kell hope your maternity21 tells you what you want to hear!

I don't believe one sex causes morning sickness and one doesn't but I know from friends who have both that pregnancies can differ slightly. My mum had ggb and she had her easiest pregnancy with my brother. My friend had gb and she was great with her d but suffered everything with her son. At the moment in very similar to all my pregnancies. Apart from 7w m/c in December where I didn't feel sick at all x

[purple]

Yay for a healthy bub cinss. You can still cling on to the hope that it was too early and the nub will rise. Are you now waiting until the morph scan?

My hormones were good again today so I'm off the progesterone and they will test one last time Friday. At least it distracts me a little from waiting for the scan :)

[Burakoam]

I agree and know that women get sick with both genders and it can differ even when you have the same gender from before... All of my girls varied in sickness and length.. But none of them started so early. Or ended this early. That's right... There may be a light at the end of my tunnel... Hoping I don't jinx it but I didn't wake up sick this morning.. Now I've been sick since 3-4 weeks so if on average a woman gets morning sickness for 4 weeks I have paid my dues and it is time for it to be over so here is hoping it's a good thing and not a bad sign....

With my 10 year old I was sick from 9-12 weeks. With my middle daughter I was sick from 7-11 with my youngest I was sick from 9-15 weeks. This one started before I even had a positive pregnancy test and in fact was one reason I tested.

[Cinss]

When I told hubby what the tech said he laughed it off, as I was showing him the pics and videos he said he could see what looks like boy bits, so he doesnt want to believe it yet.

Even though the tech said its a 75% chance it will end up being a girl based on the nub I am not going to hold onto that little bit of hope that the nub rises, I actually measured 13 weeks 2 days, its not going to rise, but im also not going to go out and buy pink until i get the 100% confirmation of the sex at the 20 week scan.

Burakoam - I have a friend who wasn't that sick with her two girls and then had terrible morning sickness with her 3rd who is a boy. She was in hospital several times needing fluid from getting so dehydrated.

Cinss - If you are measuring more than 13wks then it is probably a very good chance the girl guess is correct. Probably best not to cling on to the small chance it could be a boy as that would only make the GD worse. Either way, it looks like a cute baby :) How many girls do you have already? Did it move your due date?

[Cinss]

Yeah every time I have a scan my due date moves, now its 25th of Feb, I think I will stick with my lmp date though, we have long babies.

I have accepted that this is another girl, I had the feeling from the start, without swaying I knew the odds were against me, i turned vegetarian for about a year an a half before we concieved, so as soon as I found out i was pregnant I thought about my eating habits and realised I was pretty much on the girl diet.

We have hubbys 2 girls, then a girl and boy of ours so this little one will be girl number 4 in our family. The kids are all pretty excited about a new baby coming along, they are all hoping for another boy though, I havent told them yet that its a girl, I just keep saying it can be either.

[Burakoam]

Cinss I do think you can see baby nub in that last 3D shot and it does look really flat with the spine even though baby is arched a bit... It's swollen so if that's what your hubby thought was boy parts I know why but I feel like I can clearly see where it's growing "in"... I am gonna guess girl off of that. But she is beautiful and I bet she fits right in with her big brother and sisters :)

[Cinss]

It was the video that hubby thinks he saw boy parts, at one stage she stretched her legs straight and the cord was between, making her look like a very well endowed boy haha way too big though, definitely cord!

[jenren]

Awwww cinss your baby looks beautiful. Boy or girl. I can not wait for the first trimester to end. I have been so miserable lately. Yesterday I had a pretty good day and thought that I might be hitting a turning point... nope! After dinner last night I was sick sick sick and it hasn't stopped.
I got a bill from my ob for my delivery (my future delivery) and on the bottom it said to pay within 10 days. Are they serious. I am not going to pay for a delivery 6.5 months before it happens. Health insurance this day has really gotten ridiculous.

Aww good luck tomorrow purple. How are you managing working? I worked full time through all my pregnancies, this is the first time I've been a sahm.

Ciness couldn't do a gender guess as I'm useless but he/shes a cute baby x xxx

I feel you jenren I'm struggling badly. I've ended up in tears a few times, pure frusteration at how exhausted I feel. Just putting a load of washing in or an hour of ironing leaves me shattered and aching. My sickness seems to have got worse too after it teased me a few days ago and I thought it was easing. Our bodies are clever at tricking us and if forgot how crap this part is, if I knew how bad if be I dont think I'd be doing it again!!!

Hope everyone is well. Glad Your sickness seems to be lifting burakoem. Have a great weekend xxxx

My progesterone dropped a fair bit today but the nurse tells me not to worry as it happens when going off completely. It was 76, then 73 after dropping to 1 a day, then 42 or something today after being off completely. They are happy as long as it is over 30. I guess I will find out tomorrow if there is a problem.


baby2016 - I am doing ok managing working, I get pretty tried when I get home but manage in the day. I work in an office so its not to exhausting. I was riding to work last two (m/c) pregnancies but just couldn't manage it this time, plus it is slightly further since we moved offices.

She didn't say anything. At one point I said "oh that's a nice clear nub shot" but got nothing from her.

I think it looks a bit like a girl nub but I really don't want to get my hopes up because I thought DS2's nub looked girly, although his wasn't as clear as this one is. I actually was hoping to avoid nub guessing for this very reason!!

I will post the photos in a few mins in the ultrasound section.

[3'sacharm]

They all look very girly purple, I hope our sways have all been successful, would be amazing if they are!

Has anyone started using a Doppler yet? With my boys, I found the hb at 10 weeks, 9 weeks and 8 weeks. I tried last week unsuccessfully and again today at 9+2 briefly but other than lots of noise (which oddly sounded like movement?!) I didn't hear much, no heartbeat. I still feel really crappy and have got so blimmin chubby already which sucks (I'm usually can 8-10, clothes are starting to get snug), I just hope all is well as there'll be no second chances on this one x

[Brandles]

Hey ladies... sorry I haven't been in here. It's been a crazy crazy 1.5 weeks. My hubby is still not onboard with having another baby. I told him it's not a choice... what's done is done!! Anyways, finally saw my OB on Friday and had my first ultrasound. Everything looks good- nice strong heartbeat... and officially due 4/8/17!! Dr. gave me a little scare though... the look on her face was a little frightening... and then she turn the screen to me and I almost lost my lunch on the table. She turned the screen and I saw the second image - Anyone know what that is? After she turned it and maybe saw my face, she said- just wanted to make sure there was only one in there. ?!?! When my boys I never had any morning sickness... got sick once with my daughter and once this time around... BUT I have all day nausea and NO FOOD sounds or tastes good to me. Yesterday was my oldest sons bday... I could hardly eat at dinner and could hardly eat the cake. So not my norm. I know that doesn't really play into the gender, but I certainly hope it means I'm having a girl!!!! ;)

Next scan is in 3 weeks and then I will also do the MaterniT21 test. I will be 11 weeks then.

Cinss- What an amazing ultrasound- so clear. Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!!

Purple- Glad to hear everything is ok. Can't wait to see your scan!!

[purple]

Congrats on the healthy scan Brandles. Did the OB have any ides what the extra bit was on the scan?

i'll have a scheduled c section March 31st im hoping though...i dont know if they do them on saturdays and if not they will make me wait until monday? uh no. they really dont wanna do that with me lol..

first trimester is so long ladies. I hope everyone else is chugging along...thats for sure all i can manage. house is a mess etc...i just cant be bothered when i feel like absolute poop.

having awful vivid dreams...last night had a nightmare about miscarriage. i have been so crampy lately that i am hoping its just a crazy pregnant womans 'nightmare'..literally.

I did our Facebook announcement yesterday. Picture of the kids holding the ultrasound picture. All reactions have been positive. Not one said anything about gender which surprised me.

[jenren]

Burakoam my dreams have been insane also. So vivid that when I wake up it feels like I have not slept at all. And the dreams are usually more like nightmares.

I did the sneak peak test... got the results today. They came back boy. This will be boy number 4. I was not disappointed which pleasantly surprised me. Both dh and I really did have a feeling that this was a girl so the boy result did come as a bit of a shock but we are excited to welcome a fourth little boy into the world. We have already decided that later down the road we will adopt a girl most likely out of the foster system. We will have our girl. Just not biologically. :)

I think (might be wrong) sneak peak is one of the ones that has a lot of false results. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong. You may get a bigger surprise yet Jen! But if not glad you are at peace with another boy... I think I'd name another girl Cecilia.

Yes there is a lawsuit against it and results on baby boards vary. But I'm inclined to believe the boy result is right considering. Have 3 already lol

I had to Google the sneakpeek test, I haven't heard of it before. So how long does the Y chromosome stay in your blood after you have a male baby, or is it only during pregnancy?

[jenren]

It says to not do three months after a miscarriage so I am guessing 3 months. My youngest is 2 in Nov so I'm sure it's gone by now

[Burakoam]

cinss i think its a few years at least. but it doesnt hang around in all women.

edit: this claims at least 5 years. but that for the most part they work hard to seperate previous fetal blood from current meaning sometimes they might fail but for most part they can

UPDATE Fetal blood from prior pregnancy? - BabyCenter (http://community.babycenter.com/post/a38175280/update_fetal_blood_from_prior_pregnancy)

[Cinss]

Well its all very interesting.

[purple]

I find it amazing they can even find fetal blood on our blood!

Progesterone results from today were good, back in the 60 tange. No more blood tests for at least a week and a half now when I have my hospital appointment (although woth DS2 I declined the tests but I might try to be a good patient and do some of the standard testing until I at least get into the homebirth program)

I will probably ring my GP tomorrow to see if the NT risk results are in because that will determine if we do the harmony test.

[purple]

Jenren, congrats on your boy, it is great you aren't feeling any GD. How many weeks are you? Have you had a 12wk scan yet?

[jenren]

No 12 wk scan as I'm only 10.4 today. I just read a bunch of reviews on amazon about the sneak peak from the last couple months and there were quite a few people who had their gender inaccurately guessed. I still think I'm having a boy but it makes me wish I had never done it.

Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

[purple]

I guess you will have to wait to confirm then. If it had said girl you probably wouldn't believe it!

So DH just told his parents. They were surprised as I don't think they expected us to have another when our youngest is about to turn 5. I'm so glad I wasn't there as I may have strangled my FIL who said he wants it to be another granddaughter (he has 1 granddaughter and 4 grandsons). If it is a boy I won't be there when he gets told as I know he will complain! I said to DH that this morning they had no idea they were getting another grandchild so they shouldn't be now putting in orders for the gender!

[purple]

Oh and MIL's first question was asking if it was an accident..

[Cinss]

I wouldn't say that test is 100% Jen especially having 3 male babies already, but I know how you feel. Big hugs.

[jenren]

Thanks ladies I will be happy with a boy I just wish I could be 100% sure so I can move forward the sliver of doubt is awful. I should've never done the sneak peak :/

[purple]

What date do you think I should go with? Based on LMP I'm 12w 5d which actually matches up with the scan from the other day... or my ticker which I based on ovulation date. I know it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things but I'm wondering which date to use if I get a gender scan at 15wks?

[3'sacharm]

I'm still feeling really cruddy at the mo, all day nausea which is only marginally helped by eating all day long which really isn't helping my weight gain �� On the plus side though, I did find baby's heartbeat on my Doppler last night running at about 165bpm!

I've not heard of sneak peek either but I don't think I could rely upon it with so many false results...x

[Cinss]

Purple I would go with lmp date, if you had cycles at 28 days it would be accurate

[Burakoam]

3's a charm I'm right there with you hon... Had two days where it was Non existent then it came back with a vengeance..I am so sick of being sick all the time and eating to try and subdue it that now I am not eating hardly anything as if mentally I am on strike with my own body. Of course this has led to more dry heave puking.. Blah.

Jen I am sorry. For what it's worth if I had seen you post about the sneak peak test before doing it I would have warned you... I think it's a cheaper alternative to harmony and the others which is why it's so popular... People thinking they can get the same info from a tiny finger poke amount of blood when the big companies take a huge tube of it to make sure they get what they need...last I read on that test people were of the general consensus that sneak peak got lucky with guesses more often than not and they weren't actually pulling fetal blood like the other companies... Still a chance it's right, you do already have boys.. But if you really wanna know for sure before 12-13 weeks or 20 weeks is suggest one of the more expensive tests for piece of mind. I was quoted 695 out of pocket for Verifi here in the US.. But if you have had a certain number of miscarriages or over 35 your insurance will cover the cost.

Think of it this way... If a tube of blood is used and they only find a fetal fraction of 7-10% on average how the hell are they finding any decent trace in a pinger poke of blood?

[XXforhubby]

Oh and MIL's first question was asking if it was an accident..

I swear, I really feel like being pregnant causes people to have diarrhea of the mouth! I mean, who says something like that to their child out loud?! I mean what would she say if she were told the truth that you had been trying for over a year and miscarriages and chemicals one after another?! Ugh!

Sorry for the rant, but when did expecting a baby become something other than a blessing?! No matter how many children or gender, these precious babies you all are carrying are tiny miracles that are a gift, NOT something trivial you can order from a menu on a whim! Sheesh!

[baby2016baby]

Hi everyone. Just catching up. I haven't seen your scan pics yet purple but will asap. Glad everything went ok. Sorry about your in-laws reaction. I have spent most of this week in tears worried about peoples reactions and comments as physically I'm not going to be able to hide much longer. My belly popped up a few days ago. Not baby of course but it's displaced stuff and it's quite obvious. I wouldn't care but it doesn't affect anyone. We take it ask for nothing, nobody helps us, has kids etc but bet they will still have an opinion!

Jen I'm sorry you heard boy from your sneak peek. I did a similar test with my dd3 and it also doesn't have very good reviews. It was however right for me but I felt much like you. Wish I hadn't bothered. I obsessed at stories where make DNA doesn't show in maternal blood etc. So we ended up paying for a gender scan at 15 weeks so it was a whole pointless excercise. You seem very at peace which is great. I was like a loonatic for a few weeks. Honestly I was terrible. I don't know how I will feel if it's girl 4. But it occupies alot of my thoughts xx

Burk and 3. I'm totally fed up too. I've never felt this ill. Just been sobbing to my hubby. I don't feel hungry ever, no food appeals to me. I feel sick if I eat. Sick if I don't. All that's keeping me going is this has to end soon. If it was down to me if take myself to bed for 7 months! To make matters worse it's summer break and my kids are entering their 6th week off school. Could this have fell at a worse time? I just thank my lucky stars I'm not at work as quite truthfully if have had to quit.

Hope everyone is doing well. Time seems to be going so slowly xxxx

[Brandles]

baby2016baby, Burakoam, and 3'sacharm... I feel the same way as you ladies. I have to agree, this all day nausea is making me eat all the time and it's definitely not helping the numbers on the scale. I have gained 6 pounds so far and already weight 10 pounds more than what I started with my last two babies. I'm curious to what we are all having since we all pretty much feel the same.

[kellbell827]

Who has gotten their MaterniT21 results?? Just got ours today and was told it's a healthy girl!!!! Just nervous about the accuracy - I was SO sure it was another boy!! I am afraid to get too excited and then hear at u/s oh it's a boy. I empathize with MILs who don't understand how hurtful word vomit can be! I have one of those!!

Yay!! Congrats Kell... Did you sway?

Congrats Kel!!

I'm starting to get a bit excited / nervous about finding out in a few weeks. I would love to wait until I know the gender before telling people but I'm afraid my belly will pop before then. Last night I was considering going to the shop on the way home to get maternity pants as I'm getting uncomfortable. I will try to wait until next week as I have taken the whole day off for my first antenatal appointment :)

[Cinss]

Congratulations Kellbell, thats wonderful news! Have you made your first pink purchase yet?

[Burakoam]

Kel materniT is very accurate. Id say any chance of error depends on when you had it done. at 9 weeks there MIGHT be a chance Y chromosome wasnt in your blood yet enough for them to find it but if you had it 10 weeks or after then id say you are for sure having another little GIRL! :)

[Burakoam]

btw Brandles it does worry me and probably baby too that me and her are wanting boys and you are wanting a girl but we all have the same kind of sickness..it will be interesting indeed to see if we all have the same gender, or if its coincidence based on when we all conceived and it will be split different..in a perfect world me and baby would get our boys and you'd have your girl.

[Magical22]

Yeah Kel those blood tests are more accurate then scans, I'd start buying pink!! [emoji166]

I would LOVE a little girl. I have no symptoms I hope I'm still pregnant [emoji16] in the morning I get a tiny bit of nausea. Been getting lots of back soreness though but that could be from other things non pregnancy related. I was never sick with my two sons either though. My mum had 2 girls 1 boy and never had ms with any of us. I don't think gender has anything to do with sickness it's just how your body copes this particular time around IMO. [emoji846]

Date scan in less then 2 hours [emoji16] nervous!!!

Im positive im carrying a girl, 0 symptoms except for fatigue which is over now im 14 weeks. Love fruit and the occasional junky treat especially chocolate.

[Nessa84]

okay Cinss thanks I am the same as you symptom wise.

I really think that these wives tales are not gender related but they are personality of the baby related. My son had a HB of 172 and I had nausea with him for example. Well he is a wild baby and won't sit still for a second. He is also a bit needy and emotional. Perhaps nausea picks up hormones reflective of sensitivity and can be in either gender. So this baby has a HR of 138 and no nausea so this baby might be calmer and more independent? I am just thinking out loud I don't know if I make sense haha.

[purple]

My sickness has been mild but I don't know what I'm having yet. Ds2 was worse than this one.

Rang the drs and NT results are all normal. I didn't ask the actual risk score, I'm happy with normal :)

I guess no harmony test for me.

Congrats purple on your results and congrats magical on a healthy baby and HB:)

I agree I don't think the old wives tales are meant to reflect women as a whole but rather as individuals. I did the pendant 'test' earlier thanks to a friend that egged me on saying it was right for all of hers and her miscarriage so I did it and got circle (oldest) side to side (miscarriage) circle (middle) circle (baby) and then it went side to side... Circle being girl and side to side being boy. Probably the biggest bunch of horse poop luck lol we will see I guess

[purple]

Congrats Magical!! Will you now have to wait until 12wks or will you get an earlier scan? Are you seeing a private OB or going through the public system for your maternity care?

My Ovulation Chart (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/579920)

[Nessa84]

I have my ultrasound scan today and I am 11w3d. Is that too early to see for a nub? Or does it depend on the angle of the picture. Or can the nub still change as this is too early?

Your thoughts?

[kellbell827]

Congrats on your results ladies! And thanks! I did sway and still can't believe it's a girl! I didn't really think it was a very strong sway but tickled pink (hehe) that it worked!! If it's any consolation to you ladies dealing w/ the morning sickness, I was SO VERY sick w/ both my boys and nauseous again this time w/ this lil girl. The old wives tale about being sick w/ a girl did not hold true for me - I was more sick w/ the boys! Can't wait to buy some pink! My daughter is SO excited!

[Burakoam]

Nessa it can still change. I think there is a very very small chance to get what they call an 'early riser' if it's a boy in which cause that's less likely to change but a flat nub can still go up until the 13th week I believe

Either way it can't hurt to share and have others guess... Some will not guess on a nub that early though

[Burakoam]

for anyone else suffering with this all day nausea and/or puking...only thing i have found that gives temporarily relief is a milkshake. only do it if you are brave cause obviously any kind of milk coming back up is not fun..but it seems to really soothe the belly for me. any flavor should be alright...im big on chocolate and strawberry at the moment..

[baby2016baby]

Brandles. Ciness. I've been wondering the same. Obviously we all don't want same gender. I hope that we all hear what we want. I think this is the worst I've felt ever! But I don't want to put too much stock into that as my friend recently had her 3rd boy after a terrible totally different pregnancy to her first 2.

Congrats magical. that's fab news x

Purple great your nt was normal even if it means you have to wait the extra few weeks for gender now xx

Burk I will try milkshake. I tried a yop yoghurt drink yesterday and all I will say is that was not fun!

I can't believe we have genders coming in already. I feel times going so slow. 10w tomorrow. Feels ages to my 13w scan let alone 16w gender scan! Hope everyone's feeling as well as they can be xxx

[Burakoam]

Drink it slow baby!! I actually recommended milkshakes to my cousin when she was pregnant a few years back as she too had hyperemesis... It was the first thing that stayed down in weeks for her and then she went crazy on them and ice cream for a few months after that lol... Whatever works though! I would imagine yogurt would taste sooo good right now... And Yes come right back up :( the live cultures and all that would not help an already upset stomach imo

I am craving steak chalupas from Taco Bell pretty badly... But I am afraid to eat them :(

[Cinss]

Did the person doing the scan say anything? I think 11 weeks is to early I think the nub can rise up till 13 weeks.

Nessa I actually thought I was 11+3 for my scan and was happy if I didn't get a nub shot as knew it was too early then. I ended up measuring 12+3 and got perfect nub shots but don't want to believe them yet and get my hopes up!

Glad your scan went well... I will go check out the photos.

[Cinss]

I think I read somewhere the % of accuracy with nub shots is something like 70% at 11weeks, 80% at 12weeks and 90% at 13weeks

I'm exactly the same! I never drink milk but I'm absolutely loving milkshakes, it really does help with settling the tum!x

[jenren]

Well ladies I am 11 weeks today and feeling more terrible than ever before. I was hoping things would maybe start to calm down symptom wise but about 2 days ago they started to increase dramatically. I have excessive salivation which is a not too common pregnancy symptom. I had it with ds1 also. It is hands down the worst symptom for me. It leaves a 24hr nasty taste and feeling in my mouth. It also causes my nausea to be exponentially worst.
With the increase in these symptoms I have bee feeling pretty down the last few days because I just feel so awful :(
I hope everyone else is doing better!

Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

[Burakoam]

big hugs jen...hopefully the increase is your hormones ramping up one last time before finally mellowing out for a while....

was surprised i got to see baby today at my appointment. Was not expecting an ultrasound at all...will make time go quicker between now and 20 weeks though since i opted out of an NT scan to do my genetic blood work sooner...they wanted me to wait until almost 12 weeks for both and i was like "nah" lol...so now i'll get blood work done at 10+2 but wont get to see baby until an elective ultrasound at 16 weeks...will be a long 2 months! i'll already know what baby is by the time i go in for that one though since im doing the blood test :)

For everyone who told me to have faith...baby measures ahead now right where i honestly thought it SHOULD have been all along...putting conception the day after my very strong OPK test, and the last time i had sex in my fertile window. So....fingers are crossed really hard right now. Heart was strong at 188 BPM. Baby had its back to the wand, lol...i could see it's tiny little hands though...

I went back and looked at Brandles 8 week scan (she has had similar symptoms to me and baby2016) and our babies look like they are even in the same place wtf lol..

Ok so best case you may get it the 19th?

I haven't decided when to do the scan yet. The place says from 15wks but I'm not sure if I should wait a few more days for better accuracy.

My Dr rang me tonight with my NT results and said all normal. I said they already told me that when I rang and apparently they shouldn't have as the blood result part wasn't in at that point! Lucky they were still normal! I don't think she was impressed with reception doing that.

[Burakoam]

Yes purple! If it goes perfect I will know the 19th! We are so close to finding out purple!!

Jen I swayed for a boy...my last baby and I've wanted a son since I first found out I was going to be a mother... So stakes are high for me...

[baby2016baby]

Aww lovely to see bubs burk. Im so envious. I had my booking yesterday (10w) and my scan should be arranged for 13w. i wont see the midwife very much at all. I think she said 16w, 24w and 32! That's it. Not helping my anxiety.

Jen I could have written what you wrote. I really have never felt this bad. I'm dehydrated alot too as struggling to drink much and suffering the enevitable effects at the other end. Its really bothering my dh seeing me like this and hes pretty much said this wil be the last. So I'm hoping it's my boy even more. He wants the snip now. I think we both counted on me sailing through as i did with the others. I didnt even have symptoms with them at all! I used to forget I was pregnant. Now it's all I can think about!

Purple I'm same as you. There's a place that does 15w but all others are 16w so I'm not sure if they have more opposites. They state it's reliable as the 16w but then they would.

Good luck to all getting bloods done soon, got everything crossed. I'm jelous but can't justify the cost this time round. Burk I have no idea where mine is positioned It will be too late for ramzi at my scan. But my last daughters scan was sent to gender experts and they said boy so I'm a bit wary of ramzi. It will be very interesting to see what we all have given some of us are feeling ok and some are the other end of the scale. Atomic said any differences between sexes wouldn't be apparent till week 10. I'm exactly 10w so hoping I get some signs. It's been hard not to obsess that all the sickness, nausea and complete exhaustion is a polar opposite of all my pregnancies as I don't want to build false hope.

Hope everyone is doing as ok as can be. I can't wait to see the back of tri1 xxxx

[purple]

Baby2016 are you in the UK or Australia? My 1st appointment I will be about 14wks based on last scan and won't see a midwife until after 20wks. I think it gets more frequently after 32wks... not much happens early on so I'm not too worried.

The place I'm looking at for the scan has 3 locations in different states and the other 2 locations they say they will do gender from 14wk but my city is 15wks. Last time with DS2 the earliest everywhere was 16wks but I reckon I could have gone earlier with him as he was very clearly a boy! I think it also helps if you aren't too padded around the middle as they can get a clearer view.

[baby2016baby]

I'm in the uk. I know they've reduced the times seen recently for 2nd time or more mums. I think I'm worried as a family member suffered a still birth at 39+5 so I'm on edge. I'm lucky I can always get checked as got friends in the field but don't want to become a pain. I'm guessing they are the 13w and 20w scans as a kind of check.

Haha i better wait then. My middle is erm rather padded sadly. I keep umming and ahhing about the blood test but I think since I'm 10+2 now and it could be done from 9w I should just wait. By time they send kit out etc I'm going to be 12w+. I'm so impatient. I don't know if it's worth me doing the bloods as last time I was told girl I didn't beleive it and had the gender scan anyway! We had two incomes back then though. I wonder if the technology has improved slightly on the scanners? Hence them saying 14/15 weeks xxx

[3'sacharm]

Morning ladies! I have my mw booking in appt today, feeling nervous! Had my first gender dream last night too, I was at my scan and had said I didn't want to officially know but asked them to show me shots of the goods and I couldn't see any boy parts. The dream was certainly suggestive of pink... I'm only looking at boy named at the moment and I think I feel fairly at ease with having another boy surprisingly (for the time being!). My friend is threatening to book me in for a private gender scan when I hit 16 weeks though lmao!!

I'm still feeling pretty rough, the weight gain is just the worst though! I'm nearly 1stone heavier than my lowest weight only a few months ago from starting the le diet. I just feel so fat already. I don't think I've got to the point of being officially overweight just yet at 9st 11lb and 5'6" though. It's all self inflicted due to the nausea I'm eating ALL day long!x

[purple]

Oh I miss read it and didn't realise you didn't get more appointments after 32wks! Thats crazy as that normally when they notice any issues. With my first they picked up the pre eclampsia after 32wks because my BP went up. Also babies are often still breach at that point. Are you sure the don't start going fortnightly after 32wks?

The ultrasound technology may have improved as it was over 5 years since I had DS2s gender scan! I do have some padding so no perfect flat belly here but I guess it depends how much.

I'm so happy it's the weekend here (well Friday night).

[baby2016baby]

hope it went ok 3!! I know what you mean about the nausea, I feel sick if I eat, but its worse if I don't so I'm snacking/lite meals all day!! plus I cant stomach my usual diet pop at all so I'm drinking a lot of straight juice and milk! I don't know how I will go this pregnancy. I gained 3 stone with my first, 5 stone with my 2nd, and 2 stone with my third although it should be said I have never been this heavy in my life ever, let alone pregnant. I'm hoping I don't gain or even loose a little........but known my luck. With my 2nd I was in maternity clothes at 10 weeks, I was huge. I started at a low BMI and ate everything in sight. I had to tell everyone as work collegues guessed at about 9 weeks! With my last I told nobody until 19 weeks. I was only just showing. What have others experienced in previous pregnancies??

sorry purple I think I will be seen more often after 32 weeks upto my section. My last baby was breach the day I went in for my section at 39w and a few days. I just meant it doesn't seem much to be seen early on. although your right, not much happens, I think I just like the reassurance of having the midwife measure and check the heartrate. I'm not usually a worrier but I feel slightly uneasy this time round. I think that's down to feeling so rotten. My midwife said its a good sign feeling so bad, not sure how they figure that out. I am either loosing the plot or I felt some movement yesterday when I was laid on my belly (I'm still sleeping on my front for now) just bubbly but I'm 99% sure that's what it was. I think I will relax when I can feel movement and after my scan. As at this moment, I have had no bloods, scans nothing done, apart from my own HPT. Its so different to previous times when ive had scans and bloods done regularly which provided some assurance at least.

have a good weekend everyone. my kids go back to school on Monday after a long 6.5 weeks off. I cant wait haha xxxx

I am big this pregnancy. At 11 weeks I'm in maternity clothes and everyone knows I am pregnant. I started showing very early. I get asked constantly if I'm having twins. Which makes me feel like a cow because I'm only having one lol. I was small to begin with so I just blaming my showing so early on the fact that I am little and this is my 4th baby lol

You look great Jen! I refuse to even show my stomach Right now... I am 30 pounds heavier at this time then I've ever been my whole life. I feel disgusting. I had to take a picture the other day of my belly and i want to think I am showing early since it's my 4th and the pregnancy is close to my last but pretty sure none of its baby and all of it is gross fat. I'm not loving my body right now :(

[3'sacharm]

Aw cute bump Jenren! I have a small bump already at 10 weeks, comparable to my first bump at 20weeks (I was very small in my previous Pregnancies in 1st and 2nd trimesters).x

[Burakoam]

So much cramping :(

[baby2016baby]

Cute baby bump Jen. I wish i looked like you! I'm with you burk. He has done no favours. I just look fat. And after 3 sections my tummy is a mess. It also seems I have no muscle tone at all :( I just keep telling myself I will sort it after delivery...

I'm not getting cramping just achey stretching. Hope it passes. I found another food saviour today too. Tinned rice pudding. Will do my weight gain no good but settles my tummy really well and eases nausea for hours xxxx

[Burakoam]

i am so happy you found something that soothes your stomach baby!!

[Cinss]

Gorgeous bump Jen

[jenren]

Thanks ladies. I had an appt with a new midwife as I'm still trying to figure out who I want to deliver with. She was pretty good. Seemed on par with what I want out of my delivery and she did an ultrasound just so I could see the baby. She has an old machine not used for diagnostic purposes so it doesn't measure baby or hb but I got to see my little boy swimming around arms and legs and cute as can be :)

Ive been feeling bub knock around in my belly today, such a nice feeling 😁

[baby2016baby]

Aww that's lovely ciness. Apart from when they keep you awake playing footy ball all night. Tinned rice pudding is lovely I didn't realise it wasent availible in the US. I'm sure you could make some which is alot nicer! But alot of effort. X

[baby2016baby]

I'm having a small meltdown as all the bubbly feeling are on my left hand side (if I look down) which is a ramzi theory girl :(

[3'sacharm]

I found the heartbeat smack bang in the middle, what does that mean for gender??? And I've gone from having lovely skin to a full on acne outbreak, they're all under the skin across my forehead and also round my neck. I'm so fat it's depressing. Oh and someone at work last night said that going off food means girl and eating means boy - I'm defo eating :/

I thought Ramzi was debunked though baby???x

[Burakoam]

Baby, Angela was on my right side...i had ovulated from my right ovary and she implanted on my right...she is all girl. Ramzi may be just as lucky as a 50/50 guess...this baby is also on the right side. but i am fairly certain i ovulated from my left...does that make a difference? time will tell.

[baby2016baby]

Aww 3. Honest your not alone. I'm humongous. I'm eating alot too but I've also gone off some foods (chocolate, meat, sweets, cake) so not sure where I am. Atomic did say ramzi is debunked but then others swear on it.

Thanks Burk. I know it was wrong with my last so that might be a good sign! I have to say the gender nerves are really kicking in now. It feels more real after my booking. I haven't tried to find heartbeats. With my thick padding it may prove hard lol xx

[Burakoam]

and just like that i get triggered too. had a medium say this baby is a girl...wouldnt be so threatening to me except she knew some things that i have not told anyone yet about this pregnancy...has me afraid. this was a few days ago and i was getting pretty well over it but then someone posted on facebook some article about the bond between a mother and her son..and now big fat tears are rolling down my cheeks. I am just so sad. I know i'll have my answer in a few weeks and then there will be no going back...my dream will live or it will die...its just so heartbreaking to picture the latter...

[3'sacharm]

I know the feeling burakoam, if I had a pound for everytime someone quotes about daughters being the best friend you'll ever have and how a son is your son until he finds a wife. Youre right though, only time will tell x

I was told DS2 was a girl so I don't think they can really tell.

I really hope you get your boy!

I'm feeling a bit the same about finding out if I get my dream come true or not. I partly don't want to find out so I can live with hope a while longer but I have to find out at some point and its better to have some time to get used to it.

Same here. Part of me wants to know and part doesn't. I get stupid comments all the time like " thats alot of weddings to pay for" "can you imsgine the hormones in your house in the teenage years" and to my husband in front of me " I feel sorry for you, totally outnumbered by women". i cant imagine if this is a 4th girl. Especially as every one knows we want a boy so bad. I can't really go under the guise of "it's what we wanted" I really want to wait till we know gender before telling anyone but that may prove physically impossible. I need time to accept it without the stupidity of peoples naive comments.

I'm not telling anyone but close friends that we are having another boy. Not even family. I hated the comments I got while pregnant with ds3 and I don't want those negative comments associated with my pregnancy. People are very thoughtless and rude when it comes to the things they carelessly say

That's a good idea jenren. I might wait till after delivery. Say we haven't found out, regardless of the sex. They don't think. I remebervseveraly family members visit me in hospital and first words as I was holding newborn dd3 were "oh well you can always try again" grrrrr.....

Are you at peace with your 4th boy? Has it sunk in? I recall it taking a while with my dd3. In fact I didn't believe the bloods so had a scan too. I think it was then I realised and accepted it pretty quickly. After a while I couldn't imagine anything else xxx

Yeah I'm at peace with another boy. I didn't have disappointment over another boy I just have a feeling of sadness over never having a girl. Dh and I will likely foster to adopt a girl later in life. For now we will have our boys and ignore people's stupid comments

We told some more family today and my FIL is still going on about wanting a granddaughter but I ignored him. My neice really wants a girl cousin but she is 11 and only has boy cousins so I understand... I told her I didn't have any control over it though.

My boys both want a little brother but I'm sure they will be ok either way.

I'm not sure what would be worse.. knowing it's a boy and pretending not to know and getting all the 'are you hoping it's a girl?' questions or just telling people it's another boy and getting stupid comments like 'well you can try again'. I don't think you can win!

This is why I'm getting the NIPT and I'll announce with the gender at the same time to try an avoid hurtful comments. Hugs

That's fantastic jen. Im glad you have a plan. Adopting in the UK is quite difficult. I know as we looked into it alot before having any children. The hoops they make you jump through and the fact due to all the meeting and stuff you don't get the baby untill 9m + put us off a little. However if it meant we get out dream we would revist as an option. I might be more temped to try pgd first.

I agree purple I don't think you can win. If I knew it was a girl and people were banging on about "this must be your boy" etc I think I'd snap!

Yeah that's a good plan magical.

I wish everyone could get what they want but I know the world doesn't work like that xxx

[3'sacharm]

I spoke to my dad on the phone after my booking in appt and said we should get a scan date soon to which he replied "oh, you'll get to find out if this ones a girl then?" Gah! No we won't, it's too early, but talk about putting the pressure on. And he won't hide his disappointment when it's ANOTHER boy either :/ I'd like to leave it as a surprise at birth but I doubt hubby will let that happen, he always wants to find out during pregnancy. My eldest son wants a sister but my youngest wants a brother; I'm sure this will be my fourth boy though, I don't think there's really many discernible differences between this pregnancy and my others, other than gaining weight and a bump VERY early on, I'm usually a very late "show-er" x

[Brandles]

Hey everyone!!! Looks like I've only been able to come on here once a week... Sorry, things have been so crazy busy around here. I tried to read up on all the posts, but might be nearly impossible to comment back on each one. But please know I am thinking about you all and I hope as more genders start rolling in we get the news we all want to here.

Jen, I feel the same as you about telling everyone the gender... I already have a little girl and 3 boys... and everyone knows how much I would like my daughter to have a sister... I just have a weird feeling this is a boy and I am not looking forward to hearing all the comments and apologies.

I am dying to find out what I am having and my Dr isn't having me come for my m21 test until 9/19. I will be 11+2 then and I just can't wait that long. lol!! So in the meantime, just for fun I pulled out this handy-not-so-handy Chinese gender chart that a Chinese OB that I once worked for gave me. Looking back... it has been true for ALL my children, even one of my miscarriages that we know was a boy... and says I am having another boy. PLEASE someone debunk this theory! lol!!!

Now, before any of you go and do this, just make sure to use the month of conception and know that it's not necessarily your LMP. For example, I always assumed my daughter was conceived in August... but looking back on the dates it actually says September 1st - 7th... making her a girl on the chart and not a boy if I had conceived in August. I checked with friends and theirs all seem to be right for the most part and a couple friends were off a couple kids.

Brandles- can't say wether it's right for my first cause it starts at 18 and I got pregnant with her at 16 but I can tell you for my two others if that chart was right they should have been males. However it depends on how you read the chart... I always heard you are supposed to use the age you are going to be that year... So even if you are 26 as an example, if you have a birthday that year where you would turn 27 then you go by 27 as the age of conception... So if I do that then yeah it says they Should be girls. Thing is that it never specifically wth any of these charts says "add a year" and it's sort of silly

What's funny is in this case wether I use the chart as is or add a year it says this baby should be a boy... Guess we will find out

[3'sacharm]

Out of 3 pregnancies, that chart only has one gender correct, if I add on a year for me turning the next age that year, then it has 2 correct x

[Magical22]

With the Chinese gender chart I'm 50/50 one right one wrong.
Baby number 3 is 'meant' to be a girl oh please I hope so!!!

Yeah, from what I know most chart have you use your lunar age and month... and I think in this case the Dr said to just use your true age. Praying it's wrong!!!! Lol!!!!!!! I don't really put too much faith in these things anyways. But thought it was interesting that all mine were right except I couldn't do my oldest either since I was 17 when I got pregnant with him.

[Cinss]

The chart has been right for me every time, and says this one is a girl, right again.

The chart is correct if I don't add the year. My boys were conceived in January and I was 28 and 31 at the time but I turned 29 and 32 in the November (after they were born!). If I go by the age I turned it doesn't work. Also the gender chart says Girl for this one but Boy if I go by the age I'm turning (37). I prefer going by the actual age at conception :)

Anyway, as Atomic says, if the Chinese gender chart was actually accurate they wouldn't have so many unwanted baby girls in China!

[baby2016baby]

Charts right for me only once. My second regardless of I add a year or not. Im hoping its wrong again as its saying girl for me. I think it's 50/50 as purples said if it was anywhere near accurate they would be no unwanted babies and probably only males born in China!!!!

I know you ladies are really going to think I am CRAZY... lol!!!!! Anyways, my friend told me about this site that analyzes your ultrasound with the Ramzi theory. I sent mine in... and the results say Baby GIRL. Ultimately, I obviously just want a healthy baby regardless of the gender, but the waiting game this time around is seriously killing me.

They said: Your personalized results: Your placenta favors the left side of your uterus based on rotation requisites. This view is due the angle your technician used during the scan.

[Burakoam]

Brandles whats the site. I had someone over on IG that seems to have pretty good accuracy with these say mine was a boy per ramzi and our babies are in pretty similar positions...was yours done abdominally or transvaginally? i think i read from a tech somewhere that the initial idea one is mirrored and the other is not is wrong so they are both actually mirrored so what appears to be left will be right and vice versa

[baby2016baby]

Hi brandles what website was it?? I want to send mine. I used gender experts with my last but it was wrong :( told me boy! xxxx

Cute scan pic. Fingers crossed for pink xx

[baby2016baby]

I'm confused with scans. Can anyone answe if they class baby on right as I'm near your right arm? Or on right as in the person looking at you sees your right (which is actually your left) I always thought it was as you looked down on yourself but reading some previous posts I'm not to sure. Does ultrasound flip the image? So it's the opposite to what it looks on pic?

[Burakoam]

baby my understanding is when you are looking at your ultrasound scan your left is your right and your right is your left. I swear i just read the other day where a tech debunked why so many people guessed ramzi wrong because they said they act like one is mirrored but that in reality both are mirrored...so no matter abdominally or T/V Your left is your right and your right is your left..if the tech is right and you look at a scan from your daughter that you were told was a boy, was she on the left or right?

only reason this is BS to me is i had it confirmed 100% from the ultrasound tech and a fertility doctor that angela was on the right side. SO either i was in the 2.7% of girls who implant on the right (lol wtf kind of odds..no wonder my luck is garbage then) or ramzi really is a garbage theory and anyone who gets it right is lucky with a 50/50 odds

[baby2016baby]

32921

32922

These are 2 scan pics. The first is my first daughter she was on the left it so I'm lead to believe but on the pic it looks like right. The second pic is my last dd. She was on the right although on pic it looks left (I'm going on placenta) but I'm not sure if I've got it wrong way round haha either way ones ramzi and one isent!

[Burakoam]

well angela was for sure on the right so its possible but your picture is really hard to see to know for sure..i trust what YOU believe so then yes if ramzi is accurate you and i had girls in the 2.7% that prefered the right...i swear my first was a right side placenta baby too so i just dont know how much i BELIEVE ramzi at this point...i have this feeling because they guessed boy with angela and boy with this one that means its actually another gir...

Ugh... it was gender experts. Ramzi Theory - The Gender Experts (http://www.thegenderexperts.com/ramzi-theory.html)

I thought I remembered someone saying that the transvaginal ultrasound is correct true image, but abdominally is flipped. I could be totally off, but that's just what I remembered reading.

[baby2016baby]

I havent had an early scan this time. But I have to say I'm thinking girl. I cant explain 100% why. Its just daft stuff like when out shopping etc i catch myself looking at girls clothes/prams etc. I've picked a girls name. I've dreamed it's a girl. All the old wives takes (which I know are rubbish) point to girl. I guess I just have no boy feelings at all. The only thing I'm clinging too is I've been far more poorly. But I've even got same aversions/craving on foods and drinks. I guess i just cant let myself beleive it could be a boy. Its probably a self defence factor to minimise my potential dissapointment xxx

[Burakoam]

I have read that too brandy but then I swear a tech said that its wrong and both are mirrored.. I'll keep an eye out for the post I am thinking of I SWEAR I saw it...

Baby honestly exact same situation. I just feel it has to be a girl... Granted I'm 3 girls in and I was convinced every girl was a boy so either my intuition sucks and I should always bank on opposite of what I feel or it is as you say a defense mechanism after so much disappointment..

[purple]

I sent my DS2 7wk scan to gender experts to see how good they are and they said Girl! I also put it up on Ingender to test them and got boy guesses so they seem to have better results.

[Cinss]

I tried searching posts... did I miss the post with your gender results?
The tech told me at my 12 week scan that its a girl, I was actually 13+3 so pretty accurate, it was the same tech that told me my son was a boy at his 12 week scan, so shes good, and I saw it with my own eyes, its definitely a girl.

11 days until I find out (hopefully)... scan is booked!

[Cinss]

Wow cinss... Those are beautiful Ramzi girl shots. Damn
I know right

[XXforhubby]

Well, I wouldn't hang my hat on Ramzi. My sweet DS3 implanted on the left side, and my corpus luteum was on the left side (I ovulated from the left ovary). He's very much a boy [emoji4]!

All this means, implanting, and which side you ovulate from, just means that particular month you released a healthy egg from whichever side. Even which side the embryo implants in can be encouraged by which side you sleep on (I became a left side sleeper when TTCing last time).

All I'm saying is that all of this is just a best guess. Please don't put too much faith in these "theories" or let them upset you. I would trust in an anatomy scan or a NIPT.

FX you all get your GD!

[baby2016baby]

That's why I don't put much stock into it. I've two scan pics both on same side (2 diff children) and theyve said girl for one and boy for the other. Plus there's two of you with bubs on same side and been told 2 different things! It's one of them where they might get it right 50/50 so the half who were right will swear by it but the others won't. I've also noted they only allow posative/correct reviews on site.

Not to dash anyone's dreams I just wouldn't get hopes up as you might end up devastated like me last time!! xxx

All I know is mine is in the right, hoping Ramzi is right for me this time but it was wrong last time... Me and XX were in the same due date group with our current youngest and she had a left implant after hoping for a girl for her hubby and I had a right implant and was hoping for my first boy... Neither of us got what we wanted but we BOTH got what we needed I think... Now we can't imagine our worlds without our littlests. I hope Ramzi is right this time but not holding my breath...only difference I think is I am certain this time I ovulated from te left and implanted in the right but with Angela I ovulated from the right and implanted there... Maybe it's not as reliable when you ovulate from the same side they implant on? Cinss do you know what ovary made your beautiful baby girl this time?

I was when I swayed last time. I couldn't snack until I was around 18 weeks!

I think I ovulated from the right, as that is the ovary that ended up with cysts. Atomic said that the folicles that didnt get released as eggs can turn into cysts from pregnancy horemones.

I have no idea which side I ovulated from this time. Last time it was the right as they told me in 2 different scans but I have had 3 scans and none of them looked at my ovaries this time. The previous cycle was monitored so it was the right side, I think both boys were right... I'm pretty sure I hardly ovulate from the left!

I have my first appointment today! I'm excited to have reached this milestone :) I also have the day off so I can do some shopping for maternity pants.

Enjoy purple that's sounds like so much fun!!!

Are you showing yet Magical? You could always claim sea sickness for not drinking alcohol

[Magical22]

No I'm not showing, a little belly but nothing to bad as long as I don't wear togs. I'm only 8 weeks tomorrow. Just the no drinking on this 3 night food and wine hens night party cruise [emoji16]

And buy mocktails [emoji484]

Well when I went on a cruise I literally could not drink alcohol as it would make me feel sick so I was having early nights and my friends didnt suspect anything.

Hmm my last scan apparently measured at 12wk exactly.. I thought she said 12+3 but that was the LMP dates.

It means my girly nub shots are more likely going to turn out to be a boy.

Thanks :)

Well I'm over shopping. Got 1 pair of black work pants and 2 pairs of jeans. Was only going to get 1 pair of jeans since it is coming into summer soon but it was a good special. I can wear them post natal anyway.

I will get tops later as mine are ok for now.

Sounds like a fun weekend as long as you aren't feeling too sick already from morning sickness! You could order soft drinks in short glasses so it looks like you are drinking spirits.

I'm no good a hiding it with people I normally would drink with. I told my friend yesterday about being pregnant and she said she already worked it out but didn't want to say anything because she knows I have had miscarriages. She did tell her partner a few weeks ago that I wouldn't be drinking at her birthday party because I was pregnant, that was before I had even told her!

I looked up a chart for CRL of 60mm and it said 12+2 so I'm confused! Oh well... I will know soon enough :)

I got the actual risk score and it is 1:1735 for downs and 1:3330 for tri18. That is pretty good for my age as based on being 36 it is 1:270.

omg woke up this morning and i have no trace of morning sickness...not even a little bit...i am 9 weeks and 6 days per my last scan.... i might actually be done with morning sickness at 10 weeks... praise the baby gods. never in any of my pregnancies did it go away at this point...normally it would get really bad actually right about now...i might be counting my chickens too soon but i just have this feeling..

[TaytumJ]

I keep stalking you girls! I have everything crossed for your boy Burakoam. [emoji170] If it makes a difference, my MS stopped between 9/10 weeks. Worried me to death, but it was just a healthy boy deciding not to suck the life outta me. [emoji846]

Reading ths made me think that Omg I am so glad summer is almost over. I could cry with relief... we probably have at least another month or two of heat but the end is in sight. The heat makes me feel so much more terrible. And winters in AZ are lovely so I'm excited for the weather to change.

If that is true then maybe it is good I have only had boys because I have been so so sick with my boys. With ds2 I was sick until I delivered

Don't despair baby2016baby, you still have a great chance for blue! I was sick all the way until the end with my DS2! Ugh, I puked right before going to the hospital to deliver him!

FX all of you lovely ladies get your desired gender!!

Thanks xx. I wasent sick at all with my girls. Only mild nausea when I brushed my teeth. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but this pregnancy has had a few differences, but also some stark similarities. Hope you will be joining us soon. Pink dust xxx
