I'm doing better MS wise- I still feel ick once a day usually at night. What has changed is I feel exhausted all the time. I could sleep all day. I'm going to try exercising again to see if that gives me more energy, or makes me more tired 🤣!

I hope everyone is doing well!

I feel like my gender scan is so far away it's annoying me !! Wish the harmony was more affordable - at least u can have that Roe and have confidence baby is all ok too I wish they were cheaper here in UK.

Good luck with the exercise XX - I keep wanting to start again but also cannot find the energy hopefully it'll come back soon!

NIPT is totally not in the budget for me either. I wish it was.

I doubt I'll have a scan until the NT, and then the anatomy at around 18 weeks. I think I'll book a private scan at 16 to try to get a sneak peek. Honestly though, I'm sure it's a boy.

[XXforhubby]

When will you schedule your gender scan and how many weeks will you be then?

Since I'm over 35 (I'm 37), my hospital prefers to have is done close to 20weeks. I'm going to try to have it done at 18-19 weeks. I feel that's not too early for them and earlier than 20 weeks for me! That's puts it either the first or the second week in May!

I feel the same as you Fox. I have to believe this is a boy, because I don't want to be disappointed. I have never been before, and I will have to be strong for my DH. It helps that I'm excited about our boy names. We only have one girl name so far and it's starting to grow on me.

I just can't help but feel like so many people online and IRL are getting their DG, and I won't. I mean, someone has to have an opposite. While I had a much better sway this time around compared to my last sway, I've seen far to many people with awesome sways get opposites and people with just decent sways get their DG. I just feel like I've had too much good fortune lately- moved into a much larger, nicer house, I got pregnant after thinking it wasn't going to happen, and we sold our old house for a fair price. I just hope there is enough good fortune left for my DH to get his DG.

Here's to hoping and praying we all get our DG 🤞🏻[emoji1317]!

XX.. you are such a decent person and a kind soul that sometimes the universe brings that karma right back your way.. you could be having all this good fortune just because of how amazing YOU are.. and could still get your DD too :)

[Butterflies buttercups]

Brilliant words right there ^^^ for u XX - u seem a very kind loving family person and deserve a daughter to complete your family - I was just having a chat with my husband and said il just be upset if this isn't my daughter that that's it book closed I'll never have a girl and that is what's hard to accept .

I think boy for me most of the time - then il have a really bad day of nausea and think it's gotta be a girl so who knows !

[XXforhubby]

Awe, you ladies are too kind! I have no intuition and no gut feelings about what the gender is. I've learned from past pregnancies to not focus on symptoms or how you are carrying to predict gender. However, this pregnancy is completely different from the rest from symptoms to heart rate, to how I'm carrying. It's to be expected though- I've never had a vanishing twin before and this is my fourth pregnancy so I'm bound to carry differently. I think the safest thing for me to do is to suspend all judgement, because I won't be giving myself false hope or a false sense of security.

It helps that I don't have any gut feelings or intuition, and of course you ladies for me to confide in [emoji6][emoji4]! I don't know what I would have done without all of you on so many levels! [emoji8]❤️!

Good afternoon ladies :) lot's of catching up to do here.

XX, *big hugs* I can totally understand how you feel. You did everything you could and you did a wonderful job with your sway, try to keep positive about things and just the way you accepted that this is a boy, I encourage you to accept that this is a girl also. This will leave you more at peace.

Have any of you looked into EFT? It is short for "emotional freedom technique", aka, tapping. It really works wonders, and especially in cases where there is resistance, fear and anxiety. I haven't sat down to do it in a while, but it really does help.

I'm thinking of getting a private scan at 14 weeks just to see how many are in there and possibly get a nub shot. I won't be getting any other scan or the harmony test, so that would be the closest I'd get to gender reveal, if anything.

I'm having some sharp pains with a little cramping today and of course, it has me a bit worried.

When do you ladies usually stop sleeping on your tummy?

[XXforhubby]

I'll have to look into EFT. I'm curious!

I bet the pains are just your uterus stretching, making lots of room for your bean!

I don't ever sleep on my tummy. I do sleep on my back and stop mid-way through the pregnancy when it stops relieving lower back pain for me. I would think once it feels uncomfortable for you, you should try to find a new position [emoji3].

I'm in my 7th week according to LMP, and I'm pretty certain I felt a few flutters today. No, it wasn't gas LOL.

[foxtrotmama]

I'll do an elective ultrasound around 16 weeks- the week of May 24. That seems so far off right now.

[cosmosis]

It will be here before you know it! :)

[Wantanother2017]

Feeling like HELL since last night. It's been 3 weeks since I first started feeling this way. I'm 9 weeks tomorrow and am counting the days until the second trimester. I'm praying I'll find some relief and renewed energy then.

Sounds like BB and I will be having our gender reveals very close together! Fingers crossed!
And maybe even XX too! [emoji177]

So cosmo, you are only having the 14 week scan period? Or that's just your next scan scheduled?

Crashing to offer advice..any of you ladies in the throw of morning sickness try milkshakes.. not the kind you make at home... go to a McDonald's or some other food place (Arby's was also good as an example) and get yourself a milkshake. Any flavor should be okay. I don't know what it is but it's like a morning sickness cure in my family... dairy in all its other forms made me super sick, but not milkshakes. Go figure.

Worked for a few cousins and friends as well :)

[amelia10]

It's funny you say that Burakom because I remember on my last pregnancy milkshakes helped alot... don't know why I didn't think of this before, thanks for the tip!

Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

[foxtrotmama]

Milkshakes worked really well for me with DS1 but for some reason just the idea is turning my stomach a bit.

I have an appointment this Friday, but it's just with my regular GP to talk about a referral and such. I'm not sure if I want to try a new doctor/office or just go right back to the group that I used with both boys. Last time I tried seeing someone a bit closer and he hadn't even heard of a condition I have a history of (Cholestasis), and wasn't willing to research.

[amelia10]

Just out of curiosity anyone on here have no morning sickness at all??

Amelia, I've gotten fairly lucky so far. I'll be only 7 weeks this Wednesday but I've felt pretty darn good. I know it could still be coming. I've had very mild waves of nausea but not bad. This might be TMI but I've had more loose stool and I've read where some people's MS goes that way...new for me.

That's how my MS was with my DS3 early on. Then it switched to horribly sour stomach that I couldn't figure out until I was about 13 weeks. I had to take Zantac twice a day for the remainder of my pregnancy and STILL had bouts of sour stomach as late as 28 weeks!

FX you get spared, haha!

I didn't have anything with my DD, just a couple of weeks of migraines and fatigue, so this food aversion that kicked in almost 2 weeks ago has taken me by surprise. I appetize nothing and everything smells terrible. I'm starving though lol.

[Butterflies buttercups]

Roe, I think I've said on here before every morning tmi I have to go to the toilet or il be sick it's so weird - I get some relief after then the Nausea comes back and that's it doesn't go away until I eat toast and even then lingers most of the day .
I got my nausea from 6 weeks so u may be one of the lucky ones !

I've realised something today - I feel nauseous and a sore tummy some days but today I changed from my tight jeans to leggings and omg I felt better within about 10 mins !!
So that's it I'm out of my jeans now I think , they're making my tummy too sore x

Guys..... everyone's body scents are making me sick, including my own. I'm constantly putting on deodorant and getting after DD to shower more frequently and put on deodorant lol. DH's breath smells bad to me, when it previously didn't.

I made pancakes for dinner last night and I ate one....who eats just one pancake? :( I couldn't stomach the eggs as they stink. I hope this lets up soon.

[Kittybear]

^^^ this is #3 for me and I can smell EVERYTHING :/ some people (and their stinking food) are especially bad. Bleurgh!! Hope it lets up for you (and me!) soon xxx

[XXforhubby]

OMG! This is me too! I sometimes can't kiss my DH because I can smell what he last ate/drank even after he washes his face and brushes his teeth! I'm SO sensitive to any smell. I can get a headache from a strong smell and can even taste it for hours after smelling it! I haven't cleaned my house in 2 weeks because my beloved green cleaners smell stays in my mouth all day after using them! Luckily I can use my toilet bowl cleaner. It better let up soon or I'm going to have to hire someone to clean my house!

My DS1 was eating jelly beans in the car yesterday and from the front seat I could tell you what flavour he had bitten into from the smell. :D

The top of my bathing suit literally burst open at the pool today! Luckily I was able to improvise so that we still got to swim. Pregnancy boobs have definitely kicked in, full force. I've also never been this bloated. I haven't gained any weight, but I can't even button my favourite pair of jeans! Even my regular leggings are feeling a bit snug at the waistband. I think I'll pull my maternity leggings out early.

I'm in the exact same boat. Good aversions to everything, but so hungry. Then when I do eat I feel nauseas. Did not have this with my girls... had a little nausea with them but mostly just my acid reflux. Hoping to see little bean tomorrow at my first apt! I'll be 8 weeks Wednesday or perhaps will get a new DD from the ultrasound. Just praying to see a heartbeat and all these symptoms are good signs. Makes me nervous thinking about it!

Oh Fox! I'm glad you were still able to swim with your littles!

This is my 4th pregnancy and I have a clear baby bump. I expected it though. However, maybe it's because I'm still breastfeeding 3 times a day still, but my boobs haven't gotten bigger or tender. This is the first time this has happened. Normally I have to go up in cup size or band size by now! It's strange how every pregnancy is different! I too haven't gained any weight yet. I fluctuate between 1-2-0 lbs when normally I'm up 5-7 by the 12th week.

Wonderful news XX!!!! What a weight lifted. I could not imagine.

Update on me:
I am STILL in limbo. Ugh. I thought for sure when I got my Friday betas back yesterday, that it would all be over. Then I get the numbers from yesterday - today and they went up significantly. I am still real weary of the low numbers, but maybe a small little bit of hope. Here are the stats:
14dpo - 107
16dpo - 198 (54 hr doubling)
18dpo - 287 (89 hr doubling) not looking good
21dpo - 815 (47 hour doubling) WTF?

So here I am still pregnant and have to wait until Monday morning for my next u/s. This is pure torture.

Hello everyone, Ive been mia for a minute, how is everyone doing? I've been ok still really no morning sickness, but the mood swings are the worst, I feel so negative all the time, and some days dont even want the hubby near me, I've always been a super happy pregnant person, and now I just don't want to e around anyone and Ive been super sensitive such a cry baby right now, thats something new also, really trying to deal with this, because its really gotten to me, like I wanted to get my bfp so bad and still happy I did, but there are some days where I think what the heck have I done, I guess it's just, because of my terrible mood swings its almost like postpartum depression, I know that sounds crazy. I'm also not able to eat much, just don't have a appetite, and things I used to like taste funny to me. I have my first doctors appointment tomorrow. Hope you all are well

[Butterflies buttercups]

DesiG I could've written this the other day : I had an awful dream that I had a baby boy and I wanted to actually kill myself I know it's so extreme but that's how I felt in my dream then I woke up and thought gosh I hope I don't feel that way in real life - some days I feel so horrendous that I regret getting pregnant thinking why am I ruining the dynamics of our family making holidays more out of reach and other things a little more difficult - I was so exhausted on the diet though I was glad to have my bfp but now I don't feel as excited this time round
My last pregnancy from bfp I just wanted to fill my house with baby stuff but this time I don't I don't feel anything when I walk down the baby aisle in the supermarket I feel quite distnant from being a new mummy at the moment but hope my feelings change as the sickness subsides
I also hope u feel better too :)

Hang in there DesiG! I am super emotional with this pregnancy too, and I am not an emotional person! My emotional reaction is more intense. If something normally would annoy me, it makes me angry now, if something would hurt my feelings, I cry now. Ugh, there is no happy medium and I feel like an emotional train wreck! It's getting better somewhat, but I'm ready for it to stop!

I've been ok still really no morning sickness, but the mood swings are the worst, I feel so negative all the time, and some days dont even want the hubby near me, I've always been a super happy pregnant person, and now I just don't want to e around anyone and Ive been super sensitive such a cry baby right now, thats something new also, really trying to deal with this, because its really gotten to me, like I wanted to get my bfp so bad and still happy I did, but there are some days where I think what the heck have I done, I guess it's just, because of my terrible mood swings its almost like postpartum depression, I know that sounds crazy. I'm also not able to eat much, just don't have a appetite, and things I used to like taste funny to me. I have my first doctors appointment tomorrow. Hope you all are well

There are psychological conditions in pregnancy ♡ Antepartum depression is a thing, and I had it and antepartum anxiety BAD. Please consider speaking to a therapist or counselir if you can, it really can help.

[Erin514]

I was going to say this, too. It's normal to have some mood swings or intense emotions in pregnancy, but if you feel like it's more than that you should talk to your doctor.

[Jconger]

Ahh got to see our little bean yesterday! Met with my very first midwife. So excited to go this route this time! It will be nice to have someone else supporting my natural births. Will having daring scan next week at 9 weeks but just felt so good to see a baby in there!! With a heartbeat ���� Will 9 weeks be too early for the skull theory? Is that suppose to be more "accurate" than the ramzi?

[foxtrotmama]

I personally don't think skull theory or Ramzi are very accurate.

Hi everyone
I'm due 8 th November
I'm 6 weeks and 1 day, I've had no symptoms into my his morning then had the urge to hug the loo! I'm dreaming pink! I'm already obsessing as I didn't puke with any of my 4 boys or my mc (9wks)!

[Burakoam]

ramzi is luck at best ladies. i have had two girls both of which i tried pretty hard for a boy for that implanted and were on the right in the early scans per techs...they are for sure girls and ramzi didnt work with them. One of my older ones (found their old ultrasounds) were also on the right and is a girl...one was on the left as well..but if you think of ramzi as being right 1/4th of the time in that scenario if it works at all then thats horrible odds of being right IMO

[foxtrotmama]

Ladytara, we have the same due date!

[XXforhubby]

Anyone else feeling flutters of early movement? I have off and on the last couple of days. Last night was a clear flutter of the baby- he or she did not like me on my left side!

It's hard to believe I'll be 12 weeks in 2 days! Time is flying by!

I have here and there. Only if I'm very still as it is early.

Welcome Erin and Robin :) glad to have you two here!

Alright, so I got this intense middle back pain since last night. I can't sit or be in bed comfortably :( It is right at the epidural area which is the same area that hurt very badly my 3rd trimester with DD. Can't start THIS early, can it?
I'm gonna try and get an adjustment today. It is very painful.

OK so so weird you say this..
I woke up today with intense lower back pain on my right side. I just went into RE office and they told me not to be concerned...
Not sure if I slept on it funny or what's going on? It's painful though.
Hope you feel better!

That's exciting Butterflies! I had it done with my DS3, and it was great knowing early! We aren't this time, even though I'm older, because our insurance doesn't cover it nearly as much as my old insurance plan did. I just can't justify spending that extra money. Plus, given my vanishing twin, it won't be accurate anyway.

Welcome fiveboys and congrats on your wonderful news. I'm waiting till 16 weeks to find out just in case I'm having another boy I want to enjoy this time not knowing and thinking maybe it is a girl even though since my scan this wk I'm thinking boy the minute I saw the baby, or maybe I'm just so use to being in that situation and always hearing boy it bought back memories of the

Sorry everyone is still feeling bad. :(

XX - I can't believe you are 12w!! That is just crazy.

Fiveboys - I will be so excited to hear what you are having. FXd for you.

Butterflies - exciting to have the test done!

AFM - I am full on ms in the mornings and off and on throughout the day. And the CRAVINGS! Have never had them this strong this early. I wanted Popcorn yesterday and today fried zucchini. If I don't eat what I am craving, I can only eat a few bites before it threatens to return. :sigh:. Oh and the severe fatigue just hit like a ton of bricks today. I am having the hardest time keeping my eyes open and focusing on work.

[cosmosis]

Morning ladies :)

Looking forward to gender reveals and nub shots! :) I'm more concerned about having one or two in there than I am about gender lol. I haven't gotten in with a midwife yet and still working on that.

I'm having cramping and it has been going on for two days, so right when the back pain started. Should I be concerned? The back pain is middle back, right where epidurals go, not lower back. I'm going in for an adjustment in a few hours and hope I get relief for the back pain, but the cramping has me worried.

I wonder if its relaxin related? Maybe everything stretching out and all that.

What over the counter nausea relief do you ladies take? DH got me dimenhydrinate last night and it knocked me out. I definitely can't take that during the day, which is when I need it most.

[fiveboys]

Cosmosis have you tried the sickness bands they have for travel sickness. They always worked for me x

[Georgia_Peach]

I just ordered sea sickness band and morning sickness tea. I also picked up my diclectin prescription from Dr yesterday. I am officially ready for morning sickness to kick in. I don't usually get until week 6.
Aside from those cosmo last time I just found small meals and sports drinks were the only thing that helped..

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

[Shannshaff]

Cos - for me, I had to have something concentrated in sugar first thing in the morning, just to get out of bed. Sometimes pickles and lemon drops (candy) would work too. I usually ate dried fruit. I noticed that if I kept my blood sugar up, it was not as bad.
I have been told to use the B6/Unisom (Doxylamine) combination, but B6 makes me throw up (not the best side effect for getting rid of ms ;) )....the Unisom will make you tired for the first few days, but you will get used to it and won't after a while. You could always try 1/2 pill too. I took it in the evenings and would have a better day the next day.
Other than that, ginger, peppermint candies, sour stuff, small frequent meals, and crackers were my go to aids. I know I will be needing this info soon enough.

Well hello ladies...gosh I haven't posted on here in what seems like forever! Hope you are all doing wonderful and a big welcome to all the new additions to this group.
So looking forward to the upcoming gender reveals...does anyone else seem to think time is just flying? We all just found out a short while ago and now many of us are nearing the end of the first trimester!
I'm having a weird skin reaction at the moment and am under a consultant to find out what's going on...apparently it is pregnancy related but I've never heard of this kind of thing before...anyone else? I know I haven't given much info but that's because there is none to give...other than red hot patches of skin appearing in random places on my body. It's weird and I hope they figure out what it is soon.
Anyways, I was just checking in on you all...Butterflies your upcoming harmony test is so exciting...I think i'll be booking mine in a couple of weeks!!!

[Wantanother2017]

Cosmo, I wouldn't worry too much about the back pain if it's that high up. I'm sure it's just the hormones relaxing everything and things getting out of alignment. My hips were doing that on and off a few weeks ago. The Chiro helped a lot.

My sister had something similar hun and had steroids for the rest of her pregnancy i cant remember what it was called though but as soon as she gave birth the rash went.. everything was ok though so i wouldnt worry xx

[1pinkplease.]

Thanks for that Fiveboys. After recognising your name I realised that I've replied to one of your posts previously when you were thinking about starting your attempts...I mentioned that I was no where near even thinking about attempting as I had just joined and had so much to learn! How ironic that we've both ended up in this DDG either expecting our first girl or 6th boy!!!!

Alright girls, I'm feeling kind of crampy. I'm 7 weeks 2 days and I'm on progesterone. I've been on my feet for about 11 hours at work and I'm hoping it will settle down when I go home and rest. I'm worried that something is wrong and that if I'm miscarrying I won't know because of the progesterone. Last pregnancy, I miscarried and I had no idea until I went in and they couldn't find a heartbeat. I was on progesterone then too. I actually had a D&C.

Im paranoid too! After having a missed miscarriage last time & finding out at the scan. I am terrified of it happening again.

[foxtrotmama]

I also worry constantly about everything that could go wrong.

First doctors appointment done! I'm going to get a dating scan, but I'm not 100% sure on when. They'll call next week. I also got diclectin started for the morning sickness.

[Wantanother2017]

Just when I'm feeling better for a few days, I take my prenatals and instantly feel so nauseated. I broke down and ordered the sugary gummies. I can't stand the smell and they make me gag. Ugh. This was the same problem I had last pregnancy.
Anyhoo, this week he been much better. Still exhausted and not able to eat lots of things, but compared to the last 3 it's been a walk in the park. Cheers to 12 weeks coming up in April!

How's everyone else coming along?

Just when I thought the sickness was easing up I had a terrible day Yst where I couldn't function Properly, so sick and headache all day! Asleep by 8 last night a full 12 hours and I'm still tired today ... just not normal!!! Only consolation is I'm nearing the 12 wk mark thank God... is it true the placenta takes over around the 10 week mark and instead of the embryo sac so I'm thinking this alone should start to make you feel better. Apart from this is can't get enough cherry tomatoes into me, ate a full punnet Yst and I've sent the hubby down to the shop to stock up 😀 .. how's everyone else doing xx

I'm so sorry that some of you are still feeling ick [emoji20]. It should let up some by the 12 week mark for the reason that Amelia stated. It may still linger but it shouldn't be as bad. I usually feel ick for about 2 hours in the evening/night that isn't near as bad as earlier. I sometimes feel ick off and on throughout the day, but I can eat. I just can't eat too much. If I eat more than 500 cal per meal, I get horrid nausea and can even puke still 🤢[emoji20]. It's not that bad as long as I stay in my limits [emoji23]!

I'm 12w1d today and have 5 days until my next scan!!!

My midwife mentioned the options of genetic testing but that was all and continued on. I won't see her again until 12 weeks. Will it be too late for the harmony or matern1 or whatever it's called? I heard 10 weeks is the normal time to have it... excited for us all. We are getting there and should all be feeling so much better soon! I'd just like to have my house back to its normal self, and feel good enough to do more with the girls as the weather is getting nicer.

[cosmosis]

*sigh*

Pickles and pickle juice it is. I also had an actual meal today.... a gluten free, dairy free pizza. I ate the whole thing. In my defense, they are quite small.

I got some ginger extract and B6 and it seems to work okay with nausea, but food aversion is still there. I decided to just stop any starches as they are making me put on weight >_< so now I dunno what I'm gonna eat.

At night, I get sudden and intense chills. DH calls them "cold flashes" LOL, but for the most part I'm super cold all the time.

Looking forward to all the scan images and gender reveals :) Also looking forward to feeling better in a few weeks!

You can have them at any point, my OB suggested getting one only if there were any abnormalities on the anatomy scan at 20 weeks. Unless of course you are in a high risk category, or have genetic concerns.
The earliest you can draw blood for the test is 9 weeks, but better for accuracy sake to wait till 10 weeks.

Most of the OBs I've talked to are very much trying to discourage the use of these tests as "gender tests" as the drive up health care costs and most people are getting them unnecessarily. But heck, I was tempted! But after he speech I got, I'll just wait for my free scan at 15 weeks. [emoji849]

I would rather see more people getting it covered, higher lab capacities, and more people being screened. When I conceived my first, I was in in the lowest possible risk group for a chromosomal abnormality and it happened anyways. Obviously that's a ways off still though.

[DesiG]

Hang in there DesiG! I am super emotional with this pregnancy too, and I am not an emotional person! My emotional reaction is more intense. If something normally would annoy me, it makes me angry now, if something would hurt my feelings, I cry now. Ugh, there is no happy medium and I feel like an emotional train wreck! It's getting better somewhat, but I'm ready for it to stop!

I'm glad you have a sticky bean in there!!

Hi fiveboys maybe go get bloods drawn they are way more accurate than test after test and it could have alot to do with how concentrated your urine was at the time.
Thinking of you im sure everything is fine xo

Thank you... i just phoned the help line and they said if your pregnancy hormone is very high then the pregnancy line will draw the colour from the control line.. phewwwy.. roll on until i have a scan x

Hi girls, just wanted to check back in. Thank you for the support the other day. Cramping got better on Friday after I put my feet up for a while. Spent a lot of the weekend on the couch watching college basketball with DH. I've had some decent nausea settle in over the past week. Not much sounds appetizing to eat but I'm surviving. My mom has been in town from Florida since Friday and it's been hard to hide how crappy I've felt and I'm beginning to wonder if she's picking up on the fact that something's going on with me. I was hoping to wait and tell her once we get results of the NIPT.
Anyway, I have my first OB appt on Thursday and I'll get to hear this little nugget's heartbeat again...FX. I'll be 8 weeks on Wednesday!
Looking forward to everyone's early scans and the upcoming gender reveals!

I'm already obsessing over ramzi method I know it's just for fun but still googling my head off cos shows boy (abdo scan) plus fee so tired so super emotional anyway been falling asleep sooooo early

[Butterflies buttercups]

I've no clue on Ramzi Tara sorry!
However I can totally relate to anxiety regarding gender - I haven't even had my harmony test yet and I'm so worried about the results (gender side) I'm obv hoping baby's healthy too -

I'm already thinking if it's a girl my life is complete I can get on with my life and this black cloud will disappear that's followed me for 2.5 years - I can shop for pink and know il have my little mini me forever and my husband will be so pleased too plus my eldest only wants a sister !!
If it's a boy I don't know what my reaction will be or how il cope again with shopping for blue and telling people - the hassle of another c section for something I didn't really want (sounds so awful but exactly how I feel)
No one understands so I'm hoping it's ok to vent here ... anyway just dreading it all and hope I've done enough!
I can't stop going over My fitness pal totals for 12 weeks working it all out and looking at old sways still I'm obsessed !! Doesn't help I feel terrible with sickness and fatigue I'm being a rubbish mum hardly plying with kids at the mo I just watch them play instead of getting on the floor and joining in I just don't have the energy or mental motivation to play at the moment due to all this anxiety!!!

Sorry for the long post !

On the future of having a mother/daughter relationship. I really just want this baby to be a girl so I can close this chapter of my life and see where we go next.

[XXforhubby]

I can totally relate to your post Butterflies! I too have so much anxiety about this baby being a girl. This is the second time I've swayed for a girl for my DH. My first sway I was my own undoing. When it took several months for us to get pregnant, I began to micromanage my sway thinking that "this" needed to be changed or we needed to add "this" in to help. Basically, I ended up swaying heavily blue unknowingly by the time I got my BFP. This time around, I got a chance to do the sway I wish I would have done last time. Even though I feel confident I did all that I could and more, I too hope it was enough. This is our last baby too, and I am praying that this is my DH's much longed for baby girl!

I hear ya! I tell ya, I've seen way too man FAB sways give opposites, and seen sways that I felt would give blue, give pink. It's enough to make your head spin! I think everyone really is fair game, which sucks when you did the best you could!

Ive been looking at old scans to work out ramzi but i got no idea where the placenta was.. i read it was something like 97 perc correct though or was that debunked? Ive just found out my niece is due the same week as me..my thought straight away is i bet she will have a girl and il have number 7 boy :/ im trying to hold off telling anyone until the harmony results are back..they said they ring with the results and i cant ever imagine them saying a girl..i probably wouldnt believe them lol. I would so love a future without gd raising its head if this is a girl i will finally feel free. Im praying for us all x

I have been so sick I've been in the hospital for iv fluids on and off. Thank goodness my brother has some time off school and has come to help with the kids. I was hoping such a difference in my normal morning sickness meant this could be a boy....then we had a scan and I almost passed out....twins! Doctor said he was fairly sure they are fraternal...I bet two girls! I am freaking out. No history of twins except for great grandma!

I've no clue on Ramzi Tara sorry!
However I can totally relate to anxiety regarding gender - I haven't even had my harmony test yet and I'm so worried about the results (gender side) I'm obv hoping baby's healthy too -

I'm already thinking if it's a girl my life is complete I can get on with my life and this black cloud will disappear that's followed me for 2.5 years - I can shop for pink and know il have my little mini me forever and my husband will be so pleased too plus my eldest only wants a sister !!
If it's a boy I don't know what my reaction will be or how il cope again with shopping for blue and telling people - the hassle of another c section for something I didn't really want (sounds so awful but exactly how I feel)
No one understands so I'm hoping it's ok to vent here ... anyway just dreading it all and hope I've done enough!
I can't stop going over My fitness pal totals for 12 weeks working it all out and looking at old sways still I'm obsessed !! Doesn't help I feel terrible with sickness and fatigue I'm being a rubbish mum hardly plying with kids at the mo I just watch them play instead of getting on the floor and joining in I just don't have the energy or mental motivation to play at the moment due to all this anxiety!!!

Sorry for the long post !

I'm sorry you're really struggling BB. I hope so much you get your daughter this time. I felt like this the entire time swaying. I had such anxiety over everything I put in my mouth and the timing of the foods, BD, everything because I know I'll feel such guilt if this is indeed another boy. I couldn't bear each BFN because I knew it meant another month of anxiety filled swaying. Since my BFN the anxiety has decreased only because I know it's out of my hands. But it's still a huge struggle.

Last night I had a dream I opened the little envelope we plan to have the sonographer write down the gender in, and it read boy. In my dream I was crushed, I crumpled it up and just wanted to crawl in a hole and never come out.
The thought of passing the girl section again and going through all of the sparse and unattractive (to me) boy items again, I almost can't bear it. The lingering feeling of "our we really done now having kids or not" that will come with this not being our daughter. Having to send my tiny boy off for a circumcision, the labor for a child I will struggle to welcome, just everything. It's too much. I woke up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding.

So I can relate. I hope we get our daughters. And that if we don't we learn to cope and at least get past this hard time in our lives that feels like it will never pass until we meet our little girl.

@ Butterflies...so you'll be expecting your results by Friday but will have the test this Tuesday...is that right? If so, that's a super quick turnaround! I'm asking so many questions about this NIPT test because I'm strongly thinking of having one done and just want to know other people's experiences first!
I've called up a place that's relatively local but chatting to other people about their experience is more exciting. Do you have your results sent to you via the post/email as well as the phone call so you have official documentation?

This place is probs the only place we can all vent and say what we really feel inside. This pregnancy is the first one I've actually thought of girls names, with all my boys I could only think of boys names. Strange.
My worries are the results for harmony, like I won't even want to answer the phone even though if I don't find out asap I will go crazy.
I'm dreading the 'it's a boy then, will you try again' 'ha ha a football team' and when they think I can't hear ' bless her she so wanted a girl you can see it in her face'. People are not being nasty we just take it that way cos gender disappointment is real and I want as much time as possible to get over it before baby arrives cos I feel so much guilt when I look at my little men and think how I felt back when I was scanned for gender!

That would be hard not knowing when and where you will be when receiving the news. I'm freaking out and it's still 6 ish weeks away and in a controlled environment. Totally preparing to be crushed.

And it's typically a 2 week turnaround on those tests. Hopefully not!

Just saw our little bean. Measuring a couple days ahead of when I thought I ovulated. Was told their heartbeat was 169 and now I'm just preparing my heart for a third girl. This is our last baby and I don't want to be disappointed for a third time (I have always wanted a son). Just praying God will prepare my heart even if the whole HB thing is an old wives tale. So thankful baby's hb was strong though!! Can't wait to be 12 weeks and hopefully feeling better

You either book it online or ring up and have to pay infull before the test.

You have to go to the doctors to get results and doc will give you documentation .
Good luck im glad i did it given my age and i was very anxious xo

[Shannshaff]

Good Morning lovely ladies!

GMarie - Congrats on twins! So exciting.

Exciting that we will start to get gender results soon! FXd for all of you ladies.

BB, XX, Want, and everyone else...I am so sorry to hear about all of the anxiety you are feeling. I fully know what you are going through. I have not even let myself think about this little one yet. I just know deep down that it is another boy. I am just preparing myself to hear that at delivery. If I even make it that far. I feel so detached from it all, but am having HORRIBLE pregnancy symptoms. This really sucks.

Update on me, I had my 6w scan yesterday. Good news is that the baby is in the uterus. We were very concerned about ectopic. But at the scan only a yolk sac was seen the the gest sac. No fetal pole or anything. So we are still in limbo as to if this pg will even progress. I just don't know how to feel at all.

[XXforhubby]

Huge hugs, Shannshaff! I'm hoping and praying that everything works out and this baby is nice and healthy!

Hey Shan, this happened to me in a previous pregnancy. They brought me back 2 weeks later and saw a heartbeat. Did they give you a time frame for re-scanning?

I'm on board with all of you NIPT ladies! I'm anxious to have it done but freaking out about where I'll be when I get the call. What if I'm at work?! I guess the alternative is to not have it done and wait till an anatomy scan. That doesn't sound ideal either. I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow and my doctor uses the Panorama test which can be done at 9 weeks or after. Anyone know of a reason to wait until 10 weeks? I feel like I've read that in multiple places but not sure the reasoning why?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[XXforhubby]

The reasoning behind waiting until 10weeks is in case someone is not sure of their dates. The NIPT tests can be done any time above 9-10 weeks. The reason people often have them earlier is in the case of any genetic abnormality.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My OB said that at 9 weeks he had several people's test coming back inconclusive for gender because not enough fetal DNA was circulating in the maternal blood yet. So the costly test would have to be repeated. And at 10 weeks it was much more accurate.

Symptoms advice.....
Well I get nausea with my boys and that's it.
This time I've been extremely bloated, burping and swollen abdomen and this morning is second morning Ive actually vomited. Is this morning sickness? Has anyone else got belly size of a 6 month pregnancy (at 6 weeks) ha I was sick last week so thought was one off and not ms as don't get it usually! Maybe I'm reading to much into it but really feel this is a pink one ��

[Butterflies buttercups]

I've had far more nausea this time and I'm bad with smells too - I've also had diarrhoea every morning (sorry tmi!) so I've also had different symptoms and I really felt it was a girl for a while but now I'm back to thinking boy really hoping I'm wrong though !
I've had a bit of bloating but not too much but I am in stretchy jeans now not buttoned ones !

I know ppl say not to read into symptoms but it can't be helped can it ! Xx


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Ladytara]

Bb I can't help it. With all four boys I had a super human nose and even air con was making me nauseaous where as this time I've had stuffy nose since the beginning and my sense of smell hasn't changed. I've never actually thrown up when been nauseaous previously where as now I just get urge and heave then sick. God I wish I wasn't so obsessed

[XXforhubby]

It's hard not to read into symptoms, isn't it? This pregnancy is nothing like my other three, although there were elements of those that were different from one another too. This time, I've had possibly a vanishing twin making it completely different. I remind myself of this so I don't get too ahead of myself hoping it's a girl for my DH. Knowing my luck, it would've been fraternal twin boys anyway had the one survived 🤣!

It's hard for me to read into symptoms because my two boys pregnancies were night and day different. I have been getting migraines though, and I've never had one during pregnancy before.

I had a dream I had a daughter last night, but instead of being a baby she was between my two boys in age.

How is everyone feeling?

I forgot to post our photo from our scan on Monday. Hopefully it goes through... still new to35501 this site.. what are your thoughts, ladies, on the whole ramzi method? This was at 9 weeks so we probably wouldn't work anyway but just curious.

[Jconger]

Also I found out why my right side was feeling kind of off... I have a corpus luteum cyst... any other ladies have/had this before??

[Butterflies buttercups]

Want another great news !
I felt great over the weekend (away form normal life and kids haha!) came home and the sickness is back - nowhere near as bad as two weeks ago but I'm still having to eat bread regularly to stop the nausea .
Sonographer confirmed I ovulated from the left which I knew as I could feel it but this gives me a little more hope for a girl too!

Jconger - Cute little one. I have no advise for the cyst. Sorry.

Want another - glad you are feeling better. Give me hope.

AFM - I am still hanging in here. I have been so nauseous the past few day. :( I thought I was actually going to throw up last night (and I almost never do). Got a call from the Dr office and I thought they would have the next steps for us. Oh no, they did not even know I had the scan done. No results were sent to them. :( So frustrating. Hopefull we get a call soon. I figure the only thing we can do is wait. I don't want to get another scan in a few days and have them tell me it is too early to know, so I think I will just wait till April 10 when I have free time without kids. That way we will know for sure one way or another. These scans and blood work are starting to get expensive.
Anyone else start to show early? I look 5 months pg already and there is no way this is the pg, I am only 6w2d.

Ive felt rubbish all day tired and nauseaous and sick this morning. Now getting spots �� I've rebooked harmony for 13th April just before Easter when I turn 10 weeks I can't wait any longer
Oh and I can't get enough salt n vinegar squares lol

Wait, what happened BB? Why couldn't it be drawn today? Can't find your post on this....

And I was super bloated too at first! Then it slowly faded. I have been taking fiber and lately I've been able to stomach more healthy foods again so that gets my digestive system going slightly close to normal again.
I don't even look pregnant at all yet, 10 weeks 2 days today!

Welcome Mumma! I am due November 1st!
I have had the major bloat going on too! I'm ok in the morning but by the end of the day I'm looking round and kinda uncomfortable.
This bloat is definitely different than my pervious pregnancies. My nausea isn't horrible and comes in waves which is different too. I feel exhausted even after 10 hours of sleep and my boobs are still soooo sore.
Anyway, I have my first appointment with my doctor this afternoon. I'm 8w2d and hoping that she can find the heartbeat with her doppler and that all is good. I'm guessing she will schedule me for the NIPT today as well.
Can't wait for gender reveals and scan pictures from everyone!

XX - so exciting! Can't wait to start seeing scans and pic and hearing gender reveals. We are team green again!!! We are not finding out until birth. I think it is going to kill me, but I had worse GD last PG when I found out our survivor was a boy.

[Butterflies buttercups]

Well done to u shanshaff for staying team green! I was going to this time round as last baby but I don't think I can so il know in the next two weeks which kinda scares me !

Good luck tommorow Xx how exciting to see baby !

I commend all of you ladies who go team green- I never could! In part, all of my boys showed us their "boy parts" very early without the tech being able to hide it. Also we are such planners!

I'm holding out hope that your next scan shows a clear baby with a heartbeat, Shannshaff!

Appointment went well! She brought in her ultrasound and I got to see this little bean's heart flickering and she said the heart rate was between 175-180!

Hi Mummatog! I'm due November 29th. Fingers crossed for sticky healthy beans. I had a blood draw yesterday and the doctor called and said my hcg is 492 and my progestrone is 22 so he said that's a good sign. :fx:

[Erin514]

Welcome mummatog and ahorn!

Anyone else have a hard time figuring out what to eat? Just the thought of cooking and putting a grocery list together makes me nauseous. I never had such crazy adversions with the girls. What about you ladies? What are you finding yourself eating?? I'm making and eating lots of imitation crab thanks to just heating and no cooking meat required lol

Well i havent got any sickness at all yet..just crazy tired and very odd dreams.. and bloating like mad..hope all your sickness gets better then mine will probably start �� x

Fiveboys morning sickness hasn't fully kicked in yet for me either. I do remember though last time it was exactly 6 weeks when it hit.

XX good luck with your scan.. waiting for an update!! 😁

The last two days I've had really bad headaches. I've had to take tylenol but it never works on me. I wanted so bad to use peppermint oil on my temples to ease the pain but read that it's not safe in first trimester.

I had bad headaches with my last pregnancy all for the first trimester it was hell! Luckily not this one I feel for u I know it's not nice

Amelia thank u I really hope it's a girl I can't allow myself to think it is but I don't feel as boyish this time round as I have done before but again that could be just wishful thinking and my desire taking over my intuition!
Mid April will be here before u know it just enjoy the not knowing for now :)

Nope, I've never had MS this bad before! I was told my body is producing extra hormones due to me being pregnant initially with twins and the placenta has to mature longer before my symptoms go away. It has let up some, because I don't have all day sickness anymore. I just hope it doesn't last all pregnancy!

Roe - That is so exciting!

Amelia - good to see you. Sorry you have been down with headaches, those are the worst.

BB - sorry you are still sick. I dry heaved for the first time (of many I am sure) this morning. I can smell something bad in the kitchen, but can't find the source. I hope to fix it this evening because I get sick almost every time I pass the kitchen now. UGH

XX - I too am stalking for an update!!! I am so excited for you.

AFM - still no word from the Dr. I checked yesterday when I was there for my boys yearly check-up and they still did not have the records. I hope they were able to get them yesterday and I will hear from the Dr today. I just want to official report. It is a good thing the techs let me watch the last part and talked to me about what they were seeing. I would be going nuts without any news. MS has kicked in full force and being lightheaded/dizzy with a headache is new. Never had that before. I fully expect to be sick all pg since my last one the ms never went away. :( I hate that part so much.

[Ladytara]

I'm curious has everyone got their super sense of smell already?
By now I'm usually super sensitive to smells and everything made me nauseous but this pregnancy it's like I've had a stuffed nose since the start. No super human smelling going on here this time.

[XXforhubby]

Amelia10- I'm less hairy. My eyebrows take about a week before needing plucked and I can go about 3-4 days without needing to shave my legs. Also my hair is super light/thin.

Pseudo update- I'm getting the MaterniT21 plus bloodwork done today. We will for sure know the sex if this baby in less than 2 weeks. Eek!!

I have a stuffed up nose usually and have to take my prescription nasal spray to breathe daily. I also am sensitive to some smells, mostly perfumes and cooking, but they don't seem to make my nausea worse. They just seem to give me a headache from the intensity.

I posted my scan pic in the US forum. I don't want to sway your opinions any by what the tech told us or what I saw. The tech was trained in nub theory and gave us her expert opinion. She didn't print the pic she made her guess from, but I got a decent one that I posted. I will have the results from the MaterniT21 plus test in 5-10 days!

I can't wait to see what you all think!

I'm just relieved that the baby is healthy since I was SO sick early in my pregnancy and had to be on an antibiotic, pseudophed, and Tylenol! I hate taking any medicine in the first trimester, let alone so many! I did take the lowest dose possible to relieve my symptoms, but still!

It's excellent news how is your Hubby feeling ? Have u had the blood test taken yet ? Mines being done Tuesday It can't come quick enough!

I really think this is your girl I would be elated with a nub like that - my boys were both sticking up at this stage I def think it's easier to spot with boys my friend found out she had a boy from a tech at 13 weeks here in the U.K. Where they are less likely to say what they think at that stage - I'm so happy for u I hope you're the start of a big pink surge on this thread [emoji175]

I'll believe it when I get the call with our results from the genetic counselor at our hospital! Oh, and the tech said this was a classic girl nub. Sweet story:

She didn't want to know the genders of our 3 children prior to doing the scan. When she went over the nub theory with us and gave her guess, she asked what our 3 children's genders were. When we told her, we all got touched up, because she said that while nub theory isn't 100%, she would be shocked if our baby turned out to be a boy.

While I am excited, I also am reminding myself that this very well could be a boy, and he will be just as welcome and loved if it is so.

FX we all get the gender we are hoping for 🤞🏻[emoji1317]!

I'm tempted to go get a private scan to get a nub shot. I'm not exactly sure when to go though and I wonder if they'd book me so early on as most gender reveal scans are around the 20 weeks mark.

If you decide to, get your scan at around 13 weeks. The best range is from 12w6d-13w6d. The earliest gender can be reliably detected via US is 15 weeks, according to what our tech said to us today.

I've been looking at allot of nub shots over the last couple of months and every baby that's on the right seems to be a boy and on the left seems to be girl, does this tie in with the ramzi theory and the whole implantation on right/left side? I would be super super excited if I was in your situation right now xx, delighted for you and I hope all your dreams come true, which you deserve!!!!! Xx
