I have felt subtle moment at 15 weeks with all three boys, despite anterior placentas. I felt movement at 16 weeks with my first pregnancy.

I think baby has transitioned from flutters to kicks in the last couple of days!! It's so exciting!

I thought it was my uterus pulsating for some reason LOL. Then finally, last night I took pulse on by placing 2 fingers on my neck and compared and they were totally off. He/she has most definitely grown in the last couple of weeks. :awe:

Jconger, I've been feeling flutters since 9 weeks or so :)

Thanks Ladies .. I'm so nervous I want it to be over with, I could cry at the thoughts of it! My nausea has actually come back, nervous anxiety feeling in my stomach. Really wish I didn't feel like this

For me personally, the anxiety and negative thoughts about the outcome of the scan results were too much to let it go on the entire pregnancy. And I realize that if you don't hear what you want other negative feelings might replace the anxiety but still. It was better to know and deal with the reality then to deal with the 24/7 obsessing.
Of course that was just my personal experience, having had one scan go the way I hoped and one not.
Either way, I'm excited for you guys left to find out, whenever that is!

Is anyone still dealing with nausea in the second trimester?

I'm 22w1d and I've been nauseous all afternoon 🤢. I think I can only manage an apple and peanut butter for dinner [emoji51]. I have entered what I've eaten for breakfast, lunch, and snacks into MFP so I think I'll be fine. I'm wondering if it's from acid reflux. It feels like it is sour stomach.

I hope it's just a one off thing and not here to stay 🤞🏻!

Being in the boat is never having a scan of the way I want makes me nervous. I just wanted to have boys lol and I have two girls. Love them to pieces and God knew what was best, but I can't shake that scans = disappointment... always crying and never excited. God has been telling me He is doing a NEW thing though. This is a completely different baby, pregnancy, and He has a great plan. He has asked me to ask and believe for BIG things. So here I am. Nervous but trusting. [emoji177]

I am the same way. I only ever wanted boys. I only have one girl at the moment and goodness she is my absolute WORLD! God def knew exactly what i needed and it was her!

I just really hope God gives me a boy next cuz I went from only wanting boys to now fearing I won't even be able to have just ONE boy /: it is so hard to trust God.. but at the same time my daughter is perfect. So I know this baby will be too, boy or girl [emoji170][emoji178]

I am still here with morning nausea and gagging/dry heaving most mornings. Now that I am STILL dizzy from the ship (have not figured out how to stop it), I am super tired, moody and nauseous in the evenings too. I rarely eat much for dinner and have to eat small meals throughout the day so I am not sick. This is starting to really suck and I am not really excited about the pregnancy at all. I am just trying to survive it.
It also does not help that our house was supposed to be completed on the 17th and there are still problems. We had an inspection done and are so happy that we did since they found an electrical problem with our new construction house! Yikes!!! So with feeling bad and trying to plan and pack for the move...I am just watching the weeks pass by. I can't believe I am 16 weeks already!!!

[Shannshaff]

Happy you have a healthy little man in there fox! Sorry you did not hear pink, but as everyone else said, 3 boys are wonderful!

I will have a VERY upset little one if we do hear pink. DS3 is 4 and he very much wants another brother and cries if we tell him that it might be a girl. Oh my. And DS1 & 2 want a sister this time. So no matter what - someone is going to be upset. :(

[Nann3r]

My daughter being only 2 doesn't really understand what all is happening haha but she has decided to call the baby her baby butter which I'm obviously okay with :p

[foxtrotmama]

Shannstaff, I'm still feeling nausea and occasionally throwing up in the morning too. No fun at all.

What would be a tiny bump is starting to really round out my existing tummy "fluff", and my uterus is measuring big already. Another big boy!

[XXforhubby]

Really?!?! I must be the only one with a full on pregnant baby bump [emoji23]! I am on the short side at 5ft4in. I look huge despite only gaining 11-12lbs, haha! I'll post a pic later, when I get a chance. She too is a big girl (measuring 1.5 weeks ahead) at least at my last scan. You'll see what I mean when I post my pic, but I look like I've put on at least 20lbs as big as my belly is 🤣! My DH swears I was bigger with the boys, but I think he's just being sweet (or scared of telling the truth [emoji38])!

So my uterus finally centered itself! It is no longer lopsided lol. Still no bump here just fluff. I'm feeling alot of wetness down there, is this normal? I don't typically have discharge when I'm preggo. Wetness started yesterday after some brown discharge (freaked me out!) and it doesn't smell like amniotic fluid. Baby isn't as active today although still moving.... isn't the mucous plug already made? I'm worried.

I've gone through incredible amounts of stress this pregnancy.. I'm moving again today as we speak so I hope some peace comes from the move. So of course I'm worried about the baby and how stress has affected him/her.

[Wantanother2017]

Yessss, same here Cosmo. It's just an annoying pregnancy symptom. I change underwear many times a day just to feel comfortable.
It's very normal!

I cried when I got into my car and then I picked up my youngest from my mums house and she cried but then said she was delighted and at least the baby is healthy! But i could see rhe dissappointment in her eyes .. which hurt!! Before the tech checked she asked me what did I think it was and I said boy and she said your right a mothers instinct is always right! I'm upset I'll never have that mother daughter bond ... I really did everything I could have sway wise, it just wasn't meant to be. And we are totally stretching ourselves with 4, I don't know how were going to cope 😢 a tiny part of me really thought it was a girl ... I just feel hopeless, disappointed, hurt, angry all at the same time and I feel bad about it.

I know this is awful but I'm just not excited about the birth, about rearing another boy .. about getting the old baby clothes down, the sleepless nights, teething, going through all of this again and just feeling dissappointment! The look of pity on people's faces or feeling sorry for you dragging 4 boys around, I just feel so deflated and regret I ever started this journey to begin with.

Gosh Amelia I have no words I'm so sorry .
I totally understand u feeling this way though so don't feel bad although that's hard Aswell .
I hope u manage to come round by the time he arrives here - it will be exciting all the new bits again when he's here it's just now u can't see it - totally be upset though and cry and let it all out in anyway u can as bottling it up won't do any good and may lead down a dangerous path to depression so just look at your boys and know u will raise another perfect son .
Although no more children are on the cards for u I hope u somehow fill the void for that mum - daughter bond u wanted xxx
I'm so sorry it isn't a girl this time xxxx

Amelia10- What helped my DH each time we heard boy was to buy cute boy clothes. My DH is normally not into that sort of thing, but he said while he wouldn't normally justify doing that, he needed to in order to become excited about having another boy. It's absolutely normal to not be excited about all that is to come yet. I agree with BB and just give yourself this time until he's here to allow yourself to feel all you need to. When he's here, you WILL be in a better place even though right now it feels so far out of reach. What I do want to ask of you, if I may, is to keep sharing your feeling with us or anyone you trust IRL so you can keep processing things. Don't try and bottle things up or suck it up yet- my DH did that with our DS2 and it took until he was 6mo old for him to be able to bond with him [emoji20]. It was really bad, and I don't want that for you. Know we all care about you, even if you are struggling with your thoughts and feelings, we will be here to help.

Amelia - HUGS!!!! I know the feeling you are going through. I had them last time with DS4. I was very upset and distraught about my 4th boy. I will tell you that he is an absolute joy and a terror all at once. He is absolutely what our family needed. Let your feeling out and try not to feel guilty about any of it. What you are feeling is normal and expected in our situations.
I have to tell you that now I LOVE telling people we have 4 kids and then I tell them all boys. It is so funny to see people's reaction. I love my family and the way God made it. So I let the comments and other people's perspective go in one ear and out the other. Yes, it is tiring, but I would not change it for the world.
Honestly, I am NOT looking forward to the newborn, exhausted, sleepless crazy nights either. I am not fond of how I am in those first few months, but I am looking forward to the years ahead with my family of 5! Hang in there and absolutely tell us how you are doing. We love to hear the good and the bad.
We all love you and want to help in any way we can.

[amelia10]

Oh girls all your messages have made me cry AGAIN.. such lovely support from all of you and it's made me feel a little bit better! I'm glad I have this time before the baby comes to try and accept it and process all my thoughts and realise there's not allot I can do to change it! I feel like it isn't real and I'm kind of like in a haze/dream. My husband isn't one bit disappointed and thinks it's great and unique in a way and what's meant to be is meant to be so his attitude helps! Do you think it would be easier to tell everyone what we're having so I don't get any stupid comments?? Xxx

Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

[foxtrotmama]

Amelia, I definitely decided to tell people that this baby is a boy right away. When we accidentally found out with DS2 we kept the ruse up that we didn't know, but with this one we didn't want to put up with "Oh I hope it's a girl" any longer than we had to.

[XXforhubby]

Hmmm. I would wait to tell people what you're having until you have come to terms with it yourself. People, no matter how good they are, say stupid things that they don't always realize are hurtful. Especially the all boy comments [emoji849][emoji35]. Unless you know that they will for sure be kind and supportive.

Don't tell people until you are strong enough to be able to defend them. Your children are beautiful and amazing just how they are. They are NOT defined by their gender! You have the privilege of being able to raise outstanding men! That is no simple feat but one that is an honor and is much needed in this world!

Maybe I'll wait until I've accepted my faith and I'm longer gone to make it a bit easier, my 3 boys are running around here which is great distraction! I've a feeling this is going to take a long time for me to come to terms with!

What I haven't told any of ye ladies and which makes all of this extra hard is the fact that I had a sister who died when she was 5 months old and I've no other sisters! God acts In mysterious ways .. 💔

Ah I'm sorry Amelia, I understand the overwhelm when you go through so much to get a specific thing and really what you expected doesn't happen. That's so hard.

I have 4 boys, and I'd have a cleaner, more quiet house for SURE with less boys, though whoever said they carry their Mom's in their hearts were really right. Two of my boys are teenagers, and they are my (crazy making) heart defenders. It's so sweet to see that. I cried about something the other day and it made my oldest (almost 15) tear up. Aww.

When you announce it, I would do it with great sure-ness so it cuts down on stupid comments "THRILLED for a great big bunch of busy, wonderful boys. Join us in celebrating" or something like that.

Hugs.

I feel like I'm still excited for the actual small human, but the idea of preparing is just incredibly boring. Everything that's even remotely my style is just a slight variation on something the other two boys had. I'm just so bored of blue and monkeys and trucks.

[flomama]

Congrats on a healthy baby Amelia..!

You know what I always think....just because those of us end up having girls after boys....there is no guarantee that the idea of mother daughter will live up to our expectations....

As much as it's said...(and yes I hate hearing it myself) ...the way the world is today....we are blessed that we have a healthy baby....and a happy one..

My mother in law has 2 kids boy and girl...and she has no real bond with her daughter.....just my husband....

Who knows how life turns out for us....especially when we have adult kids....we just have to keep fingers crossed ....regardless boy or girl....

And I really hope you don't get judgement....there is a reason boy mums bond so well together.....xxx

I just want to pop on and give big hugs Amelia (and all of you!) and echo what flomama said.

My MIL and I are two peas in a pod (she only has 2 boys). We go shopping almost every weekend, we email basically daily, we get our hair done, text, go to craft shows, etc. My mom is my mom, but my MIL is like that best friend bond people picture daughters/mothers having. Like I said, my mom is phenomenal too, we just are opposites. It's just funny how that works out. ❤️ I hope you take all the time you need - what a blessing with 3 little boys!

Crazy! You spell your name the way we spell my daughter's. Taytum is such an uncommon name, let alone spelt that exact same way! I just had to say something lol

Today is the BIG day! I think we will have them write it on a card though and open at the right time. I have a lot going on with my business right now and do not want any distractions. Plus it'll take the pressure off of the ultrasound. I'll be able to just enjoy it... hopefully. It would be totally fine with me if it's a boy and he just decides to show us lol. Thanks ladies for all of your support.

So so sorry Amelia... if we are having another girl I know I will feel very similar to you. Love to you sweetheart [emoji177]

Thanks so much everyone, I wish one of you lived close by in Ireland so I could come have a proper chat and some hugs!!!

Today wasn't as bad but still bad, the bad thoughts kept entering my head and bouts of anxiety in the pit of my stomach! I told my husband I didn't want to be pregnant anymore and he was like u will feel sooo different when the baby arrives!

I tried to distract myself as much as possible out playing football with my boys and getting extra hugs all day off them but that panicky/anxiety feeling kept returning.

Please God I can accept this little baby as time passes, I don't care what other people think it's all about being happy within myself and my situation and making the best of my situation. Life is too short really! Xx

So we saw baby!!! Looks healthy and great. They wrote the gender down on a card and sealed it... trying to decide if we open or not. I didn't see any resemblance of boy parts throughout the ultrasound, and of course, I turned my head when she checked the bladder and such. Eek what should I do?!!

This sounds like you had girl vibes...

And thank you everyone. My heart is broken and I can't stop crying except for when I'm asleep. I just really felt God saying we would have a son... and I can't imagine trying again... four babies and ending up with more girls... that would be a nightmare. I'm trying to trust Him right now and understand what i did wrong... you'd think by the third time I wouldn't still cry and expect something else. I did hit the next level of leadership in my business though... it's like God is still saying "I see you... I care about your heart and those dreams. I promise." [emoji24]

Oh JC I'm so sorry you did not hear boy, I desperately want a girl and you desperately want a boy, it's like God has other plans and there is always a reason! We can help each other out come to peace together, I'm awake the crack of dawn again today with this stupid anxiety of the thoughts if telling everyone and thinking about rearing 4 sons ... stressed out!!!

Let all those tears out it helped me on Thursday, how's your hubby? Xxxxx

Oh JC, I was certain you would hear boy [emoji20]! I'm so sorry this is DD3 [emoji25]!! The scan pic you posted looked so much like my DS2's, who we all thought was going to be a girl. He had a girlie skull and no clear boy bits at 12w2d. I had to come back 1.5 weeks later to remeasure his nasal bone (we had a Down syndrome scare), and we saw he was a he.

(((Huge Hugs))) Give yourself all the time you need and don't beat yourself up if it takes you until she's here to come to terms with this. We will all be here for you- know that we care!

Ok. So here is my bump pic as promised. I feel like I look massive [emoji85]!! I've only put on 11-12lbs, which is good for 23 weeks. I'm just carrying way different than I did with my boys. I'm used to a low, small bump until 30 weeks. I know I shouldn't complain, but I worry I'll look like a whale by 30 weeks at this rate!

Such a cute bump xx and very neat you look great.

I'm so glad I found out because I feel a little bit better as each day passes. And anytime I feel a bout of anxiety I've started to try and think positive thoughts instead! It's all about a positive mental attitude and what you think makes you feel a certain way so I'm Trying to re train my brain. I think a mindfulness course may be helpful, going to look one up.

Hi, I joined Gender Dreaming as I was hoping to learn more about swaying for boy. I'm a FTM and used many of the boy sway tactics I saw on here. We are due November 17 and went for an elective gender scan at 16w1d on Saturday and....BABY IS A BOY!! I hadn't planned on posting, but I wanted to share my success and talk with some more November moms.

I carry high for my girls (both times now - talk about weird. I thought that old wives tale was just that... but it holds 100% distinctly different for me twice now). I didn't look more huge, I was just more out vs low. If that makes sense. I think that's what you'll probably do too. I have the belly cast from my daughter and two of my boys. It's hysterical...

You look beautiful.

You look amazing hun xx

[foxtrotmama]

XX, you look great!

I had a few hard days in the last few. As much as I would love one more shot, our current income would get really tight if we were to have a fourth so I'm wondering if these three boys are just my lot. I do adore the two I have, so there's that.

I'm still throwing up, which just seems unfair at this point. I feel weird complaining about it, because I had HG with DS1 all the way through my pregnancy, but I guess I just assumed that if I didn't get HG again it would stop at 12-14 weeks like it did with DS2 and with the two second tri miscarriages I had before DS1.

[XXforhubby]

Awe Fox, that's so unfair! I'm sorry you're still getting sick [emoji20]! I just get nausea at night still.

Maybe in time your boys will help make you feel complete, or you may decide to give it another go. Truth be told, I could have stopped with DS3. I just kept having that nagging feeling that if I hadn't gotten my boy yet, we would SO try for #4. It wasn't until I overheard my DH one day tell a staff member of his that his heart broke a little each time we were told boy, did I start to consider #4 for his sake. Ironically, he was against TTCing. He told me recently it was because he didn't want to get his hopes up again.

You'll find out in time what is best for your family. Who knows, you may end up with a pleasant surprise (or oops!)!

We were set to stop at 4. Had a huuuuge oops surprise, were going to be done with #5 (5 years go by) and we are now having our last baby (#6) and it's a girl.

Sometimes life gets to be all sorts of versions along the way.

[Butterflies buttercups]

21 weeks over here and finally some kicking !
Surpirised it's taking so long but it's proper now my husband felt her last night - got my scan next week hopingmy placenta had shifted up and out of the way!

JC so sorry you have not had the outcome u wanted - I don't know how or why but some things just don't go our way in life no matter how we try and it just seems so unfair - although I know having a healthy child and carrying to term is such a blessing I know what it's like to yearn for a certain gender - hope you will be ok by d day xxx

JC- I'm so sorry that you didn't hear boy and I pray that in time you will heal from this. This little girl was meant to be a part of your family. Just know that we all are here for you to air anything that's on your mind. (((HUGE HUGS)))

[Jconger]

Thank you all for your love and support. I decided my family just won't look the way I envisioned. Going from wanting two boys and a girl to a girl and two boys, to two girls and one boy and now three girls and one boy [emoji23] I think I will be back... I just trust God has this little girl coming for a reason. We could always adopt but I just have peace knowing that we aren't done yet.

JC - glad to hear that you are at peace! I never in a million years thought I would be having baby#5 (technically 6). But here I am. God has a special plan for this little girl!

HUGS to all of our sway opposites. We love you all and want to hear how you are doing no matter what! This is a safe place!!! I know first had how hard it can be. I was in a VERY dark place after loosing our ID girls last pg. At that time I did not understand why God took our girls and left us another boy! It took many weeks and me seriously trying how to go HT for the next little one. And here I am, most likely expecting boy #5 and I am OK with it. It took me a long time to get here, but I am at peace with having all boys now.

Hang in there!

[amelia10]

That's so lovely Shan thank you for your sweet message and it gives me hope and a little acceptance that what is meant to be is meant to be. I won't lie but when I found out last week I was carrying boy no.4 all I could think of was I don't want this baby or to carry it anymore, very nadir thoughts. But I've started, slowly, to accept my faith!

I am conscious on the other hand that I am bringing down the general happy tone of this site of all the people who are getting their desired gender and putting a bit of a downer for everyone! I hope this isn't the case but can't help it sometimes my emotions just come pouring out x

JC and Amelia, so sorry you didn't get your DG after so much effort and hope. Glad to hear it sounds like you're finding peace with it, JC. Amelia, don't worry about bringing down the mood! Even though it seems like a lot of the women here have been lucky enough to have successful sways, we found this site for a reason, and that reason is that we all either struggle(d) with a desire to have a child of a certain sex or had a spouse who did. For most of us, we had only opposites when we arrived here. So every one of us has been there in some sense or can relate!

[Shannshaff]

amelia - I can only speak for myself, but I don't think you or any of the other ladies that did not get their DG are bringing me down. It is what it is. If we all got what we desired 100% of the time the world would be a selfish place. I firmly believe now (It has taken a LONG time for me to realize it) that we get what we NEED and it might not be what we desire. I did NOT want another boy (let alone the possibility of 3, which ended up being 2 girls and 1 boy) with my last pregnancy. At one point I was debating being pregnant at all after we lost the 2 girls. Like I said, I was in a very dark place. I have to tell you that he is exactly what our family needed and still needs every day. He is such an amazing little man. I now know a small portion of the reason that God spared him. He is definitely special.

[oxox2013]

Hey ladies could use a little advice... I had my 16 week scan today and held strong on remaining team green. I was pretty tempted to find out after my nub shot appeared somewhat girly but definitely chickened out. The tech whizzed by the potty shots pretty quickly so I only caught glimpses and never saw anything between the legs. I know this doesn't really mean anything, especially to my untrained eye, but I couldn't help but feel excited and even somewhat convinced I may have seen labia. However towards the end of my appointment, I noticed the doc had a piece of scratch paper and I could see boy (41%) written down. Now I don't know what to think and I can't for the life of me understand why they would write that down knowing I might accidentally see it and why the heck only 41%??? I didn't see any hints of boy yet she somehow is 41% convinced it's a boy? I can't help but feel disappointed now and this is the one thing I didn't want to feel this pregnancy.

[Shannshaff]

oxox - HUGS!!! THat seems really weird to have that percentage. It could have said something else like body and you just saw boy??? IDK, just a thought. 41% is a weird number. I would just write it off as some thing noted, but not gender. Praying for peace for you!

[oxox2013]

I know it's just such a random number! [emoji26]

Too random for me to think it has anything to do with gender. It might have been an acronym for the measurements they got. That would make more sense to me.

If your going to worry like crazy over the next few months maybe you should find out so at least you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy..im with the girls though i doubt the 41 perc was anything to do with gender and that boy may have been an abbreviation for something else.. awww birthfree amazing photos im having a 17 week 3d scan tomorrow i couldnt resist i need to see its a girl with my own eyes before it sinks into my brain that there will be a mini me in a few months..eeeekkkkkkkk

[Erin514]

Birthfree, it sounds much more likely that 41 referred to a measurement (maybe the length percentile?) I don't see how anyone could pinpoint their certainty on gender to exactly forty-ONE percent. It's too specific and random.

[oxox2013]

Yeah you guys are right. I've decided to forget about it and chalk it up to something else. Besides she couldn't have seen that much. She was only between the legs for seconds. Thanks for talking me off the ledge!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[foxtrotmama]

I think she was probably writing something else. But if she was only 40% convinced it was a boy, that would mean a 60% chance remaining at a girl.

Today I posted on FB (just a random life thing) and the first few responses were all from people with kids of the same sex. Somehow it made me feel a little at peace. I bought some clothes, still bored of boy's stuff but at least now I have tiny clothes to look at. :)
