Part 5: Due December 2017, Jan, Feb and March 2018

[Bluebooties]

Pbn3 you made the right choice. I luckily passed over my phase but i honestly do not wish to feel like that ever again. It was horrible

[Shannshaff]

Pbn3 - glad that you are going to be on the mend real soon! Just because you are *depressed* or need antidepressants, it is not necessarily mood or feelings related. I get ppd after every baby. It is not a feeling of down, more of emotions out of control. And it is totally chemical imbalance caused by pregnancy and giving birth. So don't feel bad about needing it, you are doing the right thing. HUGS

Blue - that really sucks about your leave. Could you take the trip and just have a few days without pay if needed? That way you don't loose your tickets. I am in the same boat of trying to save all of my leave for when I am out with the baby. It sucks on days that I really feel bad and start out puking, but I still have to get into work on time. I feel for you! ((HUGS))

Welcome all the new members of the group!! I am technically not part of this group (due in Nov), but I know lots in here so I post anyway :)

lauraw - I have had an opposite to my sway 2 times now and most likely a third time this pg. I still have troubles. With DS3 - the moment he was born and I was told he was a boy, I thought - he is not our last. And I did a decent sway for my next pg. It was a surprise triplet pregnancy. Sadly we lost our 2 ID girls, and for a time I was NOT happy to even be pregnant with DS4. I was very upset that I lost our girls and how could I have another boy instead. I was in a VERY deep dark place, but as time went on in the pg I became excited for our new little man. DS4 is an AMAZING little one. He is full of smiles and fire! He fits very well in our family dynamic. I was not sure if we would go for another, but eventually decided we would try one last time. I was loosely on the LE diet for over 6 months waiting for my ppaf to return. When it did, I expected it to take a while to get pg because I am 41 and af just returned. Well, before I could get a better sway in (in my mind) I got my BFP the next month. We are technically team green, but I am pretty sure I saw a boy potty shot on the screen when I got up from my 20w u/s. So I am preparing for boy #5 for our family. I will not lie, I am having a hard time with it. I have good days and bad days, but I know that this little one is the perfect fit for our family and that I will just never be a girl mom. It is just to get past sometimes. My brain keep thinking, but what if we have one more....well that is how we got to 5 kids to begin with. I never thought I would have more than 3. It was supposed to be 2 boys then a girl. I had always dreamed of that family. Well, life has def turned out differently for me. But it will be ok. I LOVE my boys so much! Now, if we could just come up with a name, that would be good.

[Lolabelle]

Ohhh Iwant4-that's fantastic news to wake up to!!!! Yayyyy [emoji322]
Pbn-thanks for that!!! Makes me feel so much better!!! I can't wait to shop (more)[emoji175][emoji166]
Max-Thanks!! [emoji175] I'm having all of those what-if anxious feelings too! I'm curious/nervous to see if I have placenta previa again...just want baby girl to stay healthy (and also keep myself healthy). One would think by the 3rd baby, anxiety would be reduced, but NOPE lol
Mum-interesting to hear from your friend regarding the name. What are you thinking now that you've heard it? If you love it use it & fill everyone in on how to say it! These days, there's all types of unique names & spellings!! I live in the south where some of our street names aren't pronounced the way you'd think...helps distinguish the locals vs tourists 🤣 For example "Legare" "Huger" "Barre"
Mommy-triplet boys haha, now that would be a handful! Hope you have twins though [emoji12]
Pbn-glad you're doing well today! Positive vibes! [emoji173]
4blue2pink-we're on pins & needles waiting to hear from laurel who'll find out anytime!
Blue-those are all beautiful, unique names & love how they all end in "a." Love "liana" is it pronounced "lee-ah-nuh"? Reminds me of my "Leigh" [emoji4]
Laurel-any news yet?? Eeeeeek!!

Shann i could take extra unpaid days off but its not ideally what i want plus it will have other consequences as I am a productivity based employee. So i need to maintain a certain level of productivity. It also earns me bonuses of i achieve more but if i always will need to back fill a hole created by extra unpaid leave then i can forget about any bonuses in future no matter how hard i work. One of my coworkers is going through this right now. She is actually thinking of hiring a lawyer as she says this is discrimination for us female workers.

Now had this baby come after i had used up all my paid annual leaves then i could go straight to FMLA

Hi [emoji112] everyone. I'm still here. Just been reading and trying to catch up. Huge congrats Lola! What a beautiful family. 2 boys 1 girl was always my dream family. Hope I can make it 3b1g. Lately I've been really starting to convince myself it's another boy. I keep dreaming of boys and I can't lie, I get disappointed. If it does turn out to be a boy I think I'll regret having a 4th. I'm so happy with my 3 boys, and lately I've been thinking I messed up a good thing. I just really hope I get a girl so I can feel like this 4th baby is worth it, as awful as that sounds.
Anyway, so exciting to read everyone's updates. I've been hit with fatigue and a little bit of nausea so I'm in bed bum status.
So who is finding out soon??

[Lolabelle]

Great to hear from you sky! When is your next appt? So awesome that your numbers are in range!!!
And nope, it hasn't sunk in yet for me! I'm SO excited to tell my coworker's in 2 weeks! I always got the "when are trying for the girl" comments from my coworkers the most, one even said "I expect you to come back from the summer with a baby girl." I didn't even tell anyone I was ttc, but they liked to make the comments!!!
Babypink-thank you! This is my dream family or twin girls & a boy always sounded awesome too [emoji4]I absolutely understand your feelings! I knew I'd feel disappointed at first, then felt guilty for feeling that way! This IS going to be your girl!! [emoji175]

[Bluebooties]

Sky hope ur numbers stay in range and you u don't have to check so often in a day.

Good luck kat for ur scan. My next appointment is still about 2 weeks later.

Lola it will be so fun getting to tell your coworkers

Babypink i am sending you heaps of pink baby dust. When do you find out ?

Sky so happy to hear from you [emoji173] hopefully the exhaustion will pass in a few more weeks (I feel like mine lasted right up until last week) and so glad to hear you're on top of things! Looking forward to your scan eeeeeeekkk!!!!

Babygirlpink are you getting nipt done? Or are we going to be nubsessing over your 12w scan pics?!

Kat I cant believe your scan is tomorrow!!!!!!!!! So exciting!!!! Cannot wait to see some pics and hopefully an obvious boy nub [emoji170]

Bluebooties I hope you get everything sorted out for birth the way you want. Do you usually measure ahead with your bubs? Hopefully if you are your ob may be more willing fx!

Shann thank you [emoji173] and yes I absolutely think I have a chemical imbalance as I'm not 'depressed' per se all the time. It's more the extreme and fast changing mood swings (so feel totally out of control emotion wise especially during a 'low') that I cant deal with. Started back on meds this morning and I'm completely at peace with my decision :)

Laurelw cant wait for your update!! Fx so tight for you!!!

Lola when is your scan again?! I keep forgetting things! My brain is like swiss cheese atm!

I know how you feel interms of the failed sway and GD. This was my first sway,I never knew about swaying before I had only heard of the old wives tales ect, so I am in no way comparing my situation to yours. I think Lola put it nicely by saying that this baby defo wants to be part of your family regardless of gender..big hugs xxx

Hmm not sure I will speak to DH and see what he thinks as he loves Daniel
But wouldn't like it quite so much being pronounced as Danielle! He would think I'm rooting for it on purpose because I wanted a girl so bad :cheer::bigsmile:
If that fails, I could let the boys keep brainstorming :) x

Kat, how exciting that your scan is tomorrow!!! Cannot wait to hear how it goes. Fingers crossed for boy!!!! [emoji170]

It's my dads 70th birthday and my 3 sisters and my parents are coming in tonight to stay the weekend. I suppose it will be a bit chaotic and I'll try to check as often as I can, but won't be able to be as active for next few days.

Has anyone heard from LMSM??

Feeling so frustrated. The update wasn't results.. it was a new request form as the doctor (not my usual one), stuff the referral. Again. Like 4th time. So here we are back waiting again.

Australian ladies - I've been told gender is included with harmony but not in freaking that you still have to request it? Does anyone know? Thinking I'll call doctors again today to make sure he has done form correctly and includes gender....

Pbn, I will definitely be relying on nub guessing. I cant wait!! I know they're not 100%, but DS3 was very obviously a boy so I think I'd place all my certainty on it. Unless it looks girly. Lol

[mal68912]

Wow congrats mal and welcome!
Try not to worry too much I think it's a blessing that you got pregnant and I think whatever will be will
Be regardless of what we do or don't. Some fall pg accidentally, some don't sway amd some sway and it can go either way. I think the diet and excersise you did do
Does sound promising as it's better than nothing right? I'm wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy and whatever the outcome of gender at least your dd and baby will Be close to each other :) xxx
Thank you! And yes, you're right...my DD will have such a close buddy no matter what the gender. I'm so thankful to be pregnant even though it would've been nice to have tried swaying. Guess God had other plans!! :) Congrats to you too and praying for a healthy pregnancy!

[LMSM]

Hello lovelies!
I know lots of you and some not yet, so will try to catch up asap but in the meantime I thought I would give you my own run down for now as am allowing myself to join the ddg ;) according to conception date, dd should be 27th of March :heart:
Mummy to two lovely girls (soon 4 and 2), we are swaying blue...after literally years of trying for each of our girls (and medicated cycles) we fell pregnant what i would consider almost straight away (cycle 3 but admittedly didn't give our all the first two for different reasons)...
and after an early scare, things seem to be tracking ok now, 5+3weeks, and will have an early dating scan next Wednesday (6+1)... as we will be on leave after that really had no choice but to do it that early, hopefully we'll still be able to get comfort!

Will return hopefully later tonight to read you all :)

Ps: edited to say, as I have the flu ATM, would love to hear your early pregnancy safe suggestions to help remedy it...I have fever, the chills, sore achy body, sore throat...I bought some Difflam lozenges as they seem ok in pregnancy and take paracetamol when the fever hits...
Australian ladies, any otc suggestions?? We have DD1's 4th birthday on Sunday and am soooo not able to cope as have nada energy, so anything to get even a bit better would be awesome! Tia!

LMSM - sorry to hear you're sick! Not sure other than panadol and saline solution for draining nose.

I have a cold too....hoping it's not the flu.

Always thought I'd get the flu shot during second trimester....never did with my boys, but it wasn't pushed as much then. What are your thoughts?
Was going to get whooping cough in third trimester, or can you get it straight after birth? (had it before getting pregnant with my first so didn't need to worry).

[maximbella]

Laurel, exciting that you get to know on Monday!!! Remind me what you swayed?

LMSM, hiiiii!!!! I've been wondering where you've been. So sorry to hear that you're sick! Must be so tough! I've never had the flu (knock on wood!), so I can't comment, but hope you feel better soon! And so, so, so happy that we are both in the ddg together! [emoji175]

Good to see a fellow blue swayed :-) I'm here too edd 3/31. Hope you hear good things at your scan. I won't be gping to the Dr until I'm almost 12 weeks. My area of the us is also super natural and so theu dont like a lot of intervention. Here they won't see you unless something is wrong and since I've had two healthy pregnancies and babies I'm not a priority. Oh well trying to keep myself distracted lol.

I don't see a nub kat. Cute baby though.

I'm like how did they take that perfect profile with no nub [emoji23] I will say heart rate was 175 which I've never had a baby with a heart rate that high, my girls were always 150s [emoji848]

Bommy - I'm due 2/10. I could find out in a week or 2 with bloodwork they took today since I'm 35 but I think I'll be too chicken [emoji23] Need more time! I really want a boy, but I'll be excited about a 3rd girl too as I can see lots of pros to 3 girlies [emoji175]

Max - I was like that with my previous 2 pregnancies (girls, you know) but this one has been complete opposite. I really think it's half a dozen one or the other. Symptoms don't predict gender, can go 50/50 - don't worry yet! And I did the same thing this AM with heart rate, high/low doesn't mean anything except healthy baby [emoji23] But, it's fun to guess!

Kat- super cute baby!!! Don't you think the scans just arn't long enough? I'm always hanging around afterwards staring at the screen, wanting to Just spend that few minutes more admiring baby :)

Max- this is my 5th boy, 4th pregnancy and the first two i was ravenous. The twins, fairly hungry but couldn't keep anything down. This pregnancy no appetite at all lol

[momoffourboyz]

Welcome to all the new ladies. Ash- those are adorable shoes. Laurel- cant wait to find out Monday what you are having. Has anyone else found out what they are having yet? Lola- i hope you are going to show us some of the cute things you buy for your girl. Kat- very cute baby. Max- I think all babies have different calorie needs no matter what gender, so I wouldn't look into that to much. I hope everyone else is doing well to.
I don't know if any of you have seen the Boss Baby movie, but it is so cute cute and funny. I watched it last night with my kids they were all laughing throughout the whole movie, even my almost 12 year old son loved it. I think it is a great family movie.

[Pbn3]

LMSM freat to hear from you! Sorry you're unwell. I'd check with the pharmacist if there's anything OTC that's safe to take although what your currently doing sounds good, especially the paracetamol to keep the fever down. Iwant4kids mentioned the saline solution nose spray which may help with a blocked nose. Hope you're feeling better for dd's birthday!

Laurelw omg Monday [emoji50][emoji50][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3] how exciting!!!

Iwant4kids hope you see feeling better soon! I'm actually going to ask my ob about the whooping cough shot at my appt next Thursday. Cant remember how long it's supposed to last [emoji848] I'm also going to look into whether the boys are supposed to get one too?? I've never even thought of it until now?

Maxim there's a ddg info post on page 1 of our threads that tell you whether someone has swayed and whether pink/blue plus what they're having and due date [emoji3]

Hi and welcome bommy!!! Apologies if you've postsd previously and I've missed it! Have added you to the ddg info! We have lots of blue swayers in our group, more than I've seen in any other ddg which is simply awesome [emoji170]

I had lightening boob in early pregnancy this time too. Actually my boobs have never been this sore before that I can recall [emoji52] and they're still sore at 15w [emoji21]

Kat what a gorgeous baby [emoji7][emoji7] and perfect nubless profile pic [emoji23] Looks like bubs hand is waving or ready to shake hands. So cute [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

LMSM - sorry to hear you're sick! Not sure other than panadol and saline solution for draining nose.

I have a cold too....hoping it's not the flu.

Always thought I'd get the flu shot during second trimester....never did with my boys, but it wasn't pushed as much then. What are your thoughts?
Was going to get whooping cough in third trimester, or can you get it straight after birth? (had it before getting pregnant with my first so didn't need to worry).
I got the flu shot back in March, as I knew we were going to be ttc, and my gp always recommends it as when pregnant a simple flu can complicate much more. This may not be flu or at least the same strain but I would have thought I'd be immune lol
I had the flu shot in the end of my 2nd trimester for DD2 as that was in winter.
Also had the 3rd trimester whooping cough shot for my last pregnancy (wasn't recommended yet when pregnant with dd1).
Was not sick at all even surrounded by sick colleagues!

[LMSM]

Feel better lmsm! The flu at baby girls birthday party or being sick anyways! Prayers mom may! Can't wait for your ultrasound!

Good to see a fellow blue swayed :-) I'm here too edd 3/31. Hope you hear good things at your scan. I won't be gping to the Dr until I'm almost 12 weeks. My area of the us is also super natural and so theu dont like a lot of intervention. Here they won't see you unless something is wrong and since I've had two healthy pregnancies and babies I'm not a priority. Oh well trying to keep myself distracted lol.

And thanks for the congrats I say if your feeling boy start buying [emoji23][emoji23] I started buying girl before I was even pregnant! Power of positive thinking!
Sky we have yet to watch boss baby the boys have been eating to ppv it but I haven't yet! I'll have to wait until I have time to set and watch with them! Hope you get a nub shot on your nuchal pic [emoji6]
Lola heck no he doesn't dare rain on my shopping parade! I have waited for 11 years and through 4 boy pregnancies for this! I think we're equally excited he says it's like having our first all over again since everything is so new. Plus he knows I'm somewhat of a tight wad if I don't have the extra cash I won't buy it. We don't do credit cards [emoji51] I might be in trouble if we did!

But we've been through a couple work lay offs and it is not fun so I know we must save and not spend to to much in case t happens again BUT this IS a once in a lifetime chance so I will sew my buns off until she gets here so I can have my fun [emoji6] and everything I buy is on sale and I do try to get all different sizes since I know we will probably get A LOT of nb and little stuff from family! It will be the first girl in 10 years on my big side of the family and the first girl in 25 years on my moms side so I think everyone is a bit excited
