yes kris thats what i am thinking :) 10 october seems sooooo far away !
I just felt baby fluttering, I'm sure of it:HH: Just had to share lol, sorry :oops:
Oh ELP!!! That's just wonderful, I'm so happy for you!!
Had my NT scan this am and my wiggly little baby showed no signs of a nub, but good signs for everything being a-ok healthwise! YAY!!!! So fun to see it; really was just non-stop motion though, LOL!
Cheeky yay for your scans getting scheduled! We found out with DD2 at 16 weeks so I think if your LO is cooperating you should definitely be able to tell. FX you can see all you need to see ... and maybe you'll get a great nub!
Damn just wiped my long post......have to go out.....so
to condense it LOL
Elp - fantastic on the movement - so special !
Begonia- Congrats on a healthy baby- what more can one hope for?
ELP that's so awesome! Can't wait to feel that feeling! Yesterday and today have been really good days. Maybe this nausea thing is behind me. Don't wanna jinx myself but I'm really feeling great for 2 days now! maybe I'll get some house cleaning done finally. I've let the place go besides the basic like dishes and laundry LOL!!!!
Begonia--fantastic news about the NT. the best gift is a healthy baby!!! Mine is next week and I've got my fingers crossed for a healthy lil one!!!
Kris and Begonia--yeah the Zofran didn't do much--it took the edge off a bit and I only took it on nights that I got physically ill. I mainly just gag/dry heave and that feeling of plain ole crappiness LOL! I didn't get it this bad with the boys...it gives me some hope this may be a girl, but then again I do realize it's OWT and each pregnancy is diff. But I have to say this one by far I have been the sickest. Anyway, today and yesterday were great days! thanks ya'll!!!
I seem to get worse at night just before bed. This morning I woke up and took my Maxalon but within 5 mins I was in the bathroom throwing up. Can't wait for this to be over with, I was naive to think I wouldn't get it lol. If I gag even once I can't stop it, I will puke but thank god it hasn't happened out in public....yet!
Apparently it's worse when the baby is a girl so FX for you glittergirl! Hope we're all over it asap so we can get on and enjoy the pregnancy :)
Thats just awful for you ladies still suffering:(, but one the slightly bright side you know it also means a strong pregnancy:flowerz: I'm in for my scan tomorrow afternoon, super excited! Between us I would love to see 2 lol, but I am 100% certain its just the 1 little passenger, I hope theres a nub to see but I think I'm going to be a bit early for a perfect shot so a delivery surprise it will stay!!!
ELP can't wait to hear all about it!! Post pics!
Glitter when is yours, must be soon this week, here's hoping all looks just perfect :-) I was super sick with DD1 and not at all sick with DD2 ... DD1 is by far my easier child though so here's hoping it's a sign that you're having a girl who is well behaved, LOL! My DD2's easiest days were when she was in my womb ;-)
Kris I did get sick in public, it was a nightmare. I remember walking into my office building, getting on the elevator with a load of people, and as the doors were shutting I had to literally force my way out ... made it out into the street where I lost it all over the sidewalk. It was definitely one of my most embarrassing moments!
Oh that's just awful Begonia. I work in people's home with their kids (home health) and I am so scared to get sick while working with their kids I chew gum or suck on jolly ranchers. I had 2 great days and it all started up again yesterday. can't wait to enjoy this preg. I will take this sickness anyday if it means a girl LOL! Heck or even if it means a sticky bean!!!! My scan is next Tues...I will be watching for a nub!!!
Just wanted to say thanks to all for the warm welcome! Can't wait to hear everyone's updates.
My 12 week scan is next Friday, don't know what to expect. With my son I had an u/s at 13 weeks and was told "80% sure, a boy" and she was right. I hope this ultrasound tech is as good at her job as the last one was!
Good luck and hope for healthy babies to all!
Oh fun, WantAnotherBoy! FX you see a nice healthy bean and boy nub again!
Glitter that would be pretty rotten to get sick around the kiddos! I'm glad you had a couple good days though, FX that means you're CLOSE to turning a corner even if today is tough. I hope you see a nice flat nub! Definitely tell us how it goes; I'll be thinking of you Tuesday!
Iluv I think particularly at 13 weeks the nubs can be very revealing! From what I've read around 11-12 weeks, a "girl" looking flat nub might still rise (so possibly might mistake a boy for a girl), but in general, if the nub is angling up you've got VERY good odds that it is in fact a boy.
My morning sickness has gotten much worse, the Maxalon doesn't work any more. I'm throwing up every morning and night and fighting the urge all day! I'm even loosing weight, good in a way but it's not really what should be happening. The strangest things make me gag, a yellow bucket.....I think because it reminds me of pee lol the black bucket I am fine with. Our bathroom and bedroom also make me gag, I think it's because that is where I am when I'm feeling sick the most. Can hardly brush my teeth, my tongue is almost impossible most days. I was throwing up in the backyard yesterday, the neighbour was out so that was embarrassing! I can't eat much at all, no point having breakfast until after I throw up cos I just know it is gonna happen. I do feel a little better once I vomit, it's just bad cos in the morning it's yellow bile coming up....yuck!!
Anyway other than that all is well, got my NT scan on the 19th, and an appt with my Ob on the 12th :)
Kris, the best thing I can recommend is acupuncture. Its sooo helpful! There are other natural remedies but might even be cheaper than those meds you were taking Sometimes they have a 1st time fee that's more expensive but it's worth checking out for sure.
Also try eating really bland food every hour or two like crackers, toast etc. So sorry!!!!!
Finally starting to have a bit more energy. I'm def. still tired but not those really hard don't want to get out of bed crashed I was getting. it feels so great being more normal again. You kinda forget that you used to have energy. :) I got 1/2 of the kids room cleaned last night which is great since it's been un-walkable for a good 2 weeks then cleaned my MIL's downstairs and had to crash for a bit.
Kris, you poor thing!!! Oh how I remember that torture. I am so, so sorry! I hope it clears up for you quickly ... when I was that sick it was right at 15 weeks when it finally quit. Nothing worked for me but I never tried acupuncture, can you maybe give that a go like Iluv suggested?
Iluv glad you've got some energy back! Mine is still pretty low, I think in part due to the heat but we're supposed to get a break and have temps in the low 90's next week so that will feel refreshing, LOL. Yes, definitely ask about the nub area! I just asked for a full length body profile shot, and got one, the one I posted here ... but it had no hint of nub. Best is when babe is lying flat on its back. I used to look at them all the time on IG bc I found it so fascinating that you could tell so early! I think many are ambiguous but a IMO good boy shot is pretty obvious and reliable at week 13.
Hey Girls, just wanted to see if anyone had heard from Out of the Blue lately? I know she was dealing with a blood clot and there was some worry...I've been thinking about her a lot lately.
Haven't seen her around DM ... I know she was struggling with that and the sudden weaning though; I hope she's well! We will all just keep a lookout for an update from her.
I'm back from my NT scan. All went well. We got lots of cute shots and the tech was super nice. the neck measurement was really nice so fingers crossed for a healthy baby! S/he had arms and legs and fingers and toes...so I was very relieved as I had trouble sleeping last night. Never this worried before with other pregnancies! I asked her if she saw a nub and if there are any guesses on gender. (I did tell her I wanna be surprised but I don't mind guesses) She went on to talk about the "educated guesses" other places do but they don't allow that here so i had to keep squinting to see if I saw anything. With DS3 it was obvious as day at the NT scan. that was the first thing i saw and said "oh my gosh is that a penis!!??" I was so shocked to see it that early! This time around I couldn't see any nub, and I'm looking back at the pics but I think the leg is in the way. gonna review the dvd they made me and see if I see anything. Will keep you posted and try to figure a way to post a pic....don't have a scanner :(
Kris--Hope you feel better. I am finally feeling good these past few days--just evening sickness which I usually just try to go to bed after I eat so I don't feel the nausea! Hope it gets better for you it truly sucks to be sick and not enjoy the pregnancy!
Just posted my pics on ultrasound board. Any guesses???
Congrats glittergirl. Maybe not seeing anything this time is a good thing. I wonder if we can ask the U/S tech..Ok if you cant say could you at least hang that U/S right where is s/b for a minute and let me guess. They move it so fast I can never tell but I'll ask.
OK this is my 11th week (according to me) and I'm not very hungry. It's making me worry just a little and not having those weekly u/s has been tougher than I thought. I miss that reassurance every week. NT US scheduled on the 20th so i more full week to go. I can't wait!!!
We pretty much told everyone about the baby now so that's good to be out of the way.
Thats great news about going public iluv! Its horrible wondering and dreading how people will react. I finally told my dad the other day, he said 'As long as I'm happy' I was lucky that when I phoned he was out so I told my step-mum lol, she is the master at telling him in a calm and responsible way. The scrapes she got me out of as a teenager, I can tell you!!!!:rofl:
GG, I couldn't see anything on your scan, and if you think you couldn't either whilst watching it then I'd keep hold of that with both hands xxx
kris, I hope you are starting to feel better soon xx
ootb, thinking of you xx
Begonia, how are you feeling! Are you starting to get a bit excited like myself lol!! xx
Cheekymoo, wantanotherboy and 3 boys check in soon ok xxxxx
Is anyone else really starting to get excited!!
Hi girls, have any of you heard from out of the blue, she hasn't been around for a bit and I was wondering about her, thanks!
Swish she hasn't checked in since her report on her scan that showed the clot (I think that's what it was?) ... hoping she will update us soon. I think of her often too!
ELP I would be excited if I had a stellar nub shot like you and Glitter!!! It sure looks to me like both of you have REALLY good odds for getting your DG this time! But I have nothing ... just hope ... and I sure hope I get a peek at our anatomy scan. Darn DH and his not finding out. Though I have to remind myself that the surprise will be a neat experience! I keep hoping DD1 will be like, NO!!! I want to find out now!!! And it will convince DH to find out, LOL!
Iluv I'm glad you're getting it out there. Funny how once you tell someone you just end up telling everyone. I'm practically telling the cashier at the grocery these days.
ELP - how many weeks were you when you had the U/S? I can't tell anything but I hear the "experts" are saying congrats on your baby boy. how exciting!
Those little comments like "as long as your happy" always seem to come from Dad's. Just twist that knife a little Dad. :)
Begonia, it's easier to tell random strangers too. Plus I want everyone to know that I'm not just fat. :) Of coarse that baby is still near my pelvis but they don'ts gots to know. :)
Thanks iluv:) The private scan with the great piccies was at 12+6, I've never paid for a scan before but I'm glad I did, it has kind of taken away the obsession without really knowing, as nubs are never an official guess are they:) So I don't feel like I've cheated this baby:)
I'm exactly the same with the chubby belly line lol!! My fat boy sway stomach is positively massive!!! I'm the same weight I was when i deliver my last baby! And looking it! I'm hoping to start some more healthier eating soon and stabilising the load lol!!
I haven't even told my dad yet, LOL. He lives in another country and doesn't have a phone so we only "talk" via email and the last one he sent was June. I'm sure he'll say something like "as long as you're happy" too so I can wait on hearing that, no rush!
Iluv you'll be finding out right? I'm so struggling with the wait!!! DH even said last night we can find out if it is really driving me bonkers, but I know he has ALWAYS wanted to have a surprise, even before we were ever pg with our 1st he said he thought that would be so special ... so I really, really want to give him that. I might try to find out and not tell him, LOL ... is that so bad?!? Like if I went for a private scan and didn't tell him??? I think I could keep the secret....
A secret scan B!!! That would be coooooooll!! Could you keep it secret though? If you could and you want to know then why not!! And if he finds out you've been then just keep teasing him by saying 'She's active today' then 'He's wiggling again' straight after:bigsmile:
Hi, ladies!!
I'm 12 weeks 2 days now! I have my first trimester testing coming up on Thursday, when I'll be 13 weeks 1 day. I'm really, really hoping the u/s tech will be willing to take the time to check out any nub action LOL! I found out my 2 year old was a boy at 13 weeks on the nose, but I remember being told "I'm only 80% sure, so don't paint the nursery yet!"
I'll have another u/s Sept. 30, so I think by then it will be more definitive. SO excited for Thursday!
Hope everyone is doing well--those with nausea issues, I hope it gets better for you soon! With my little boy, it lasted until about 14 weeks. (This one's been very kind to me so far as far as that goes.)
Begonia, I would TOTALLY do it in your position! I can't NOT know. If you feel you can keep the secret, go for it!
Wantanother, how exciting about Thursday! You must come post scan pics for us ... ELP's were really FAB! Even if you can't see that nub scans are so fun, and I love the early pics.
LOL, to you guys cheering me on with my secret scan plan! I do think I can keep a secret, in fact I am sure of it, but I will say this: if it is a boy, I'll have NO trouble/guilt keeping it to myself. But if it is a girl, on the rare days that DH says something or another about "maybe" it being a boy (he thinks it is a girl, b/c why on earth would we make a boy this time?!?!), I'll be eaten up knowing that it isn't. Does that make sense? So anyhow ... I did check out scan places/prices, and my current plan is IF I can't see enough to know at our next scan (16-17 weeks, so in about 2 weeks time) and IF I really am just going crazy, I'll book one ... but FX I get a big enough hint at our scan and then I don't have the moral dilemma, LOL!
My other concern is that while I actually feel pretty great about the idea of girl #3 right now, IF I find out it is a girl ... will I have GD? I think it is totally possible. But I think if I wait it out I'll be a-ok with a sweet baby girl when I'm holding her.
Decisions, decisions!
B, I can honestly say that if you wait, and meet a sweet little lady at birth, you will hold her, look at her and say 'Do you know what little one, your gorgeous, you would have been the tiniest fraction more gorgeous if you had a little extra bit, but your mine and nothing in this world is ever gonna harm you:)' and this feeling will probably last about 10 minutes?? Then your mothers defensive instincts kick in, and God help anybody who dares says 'Never mind, you can get a boy next time.' GRRR!!!!! Go straight for the eyes;):bigsmile:
But!! If you do find out and its a boy then happy days!!! And if its a girl and you feel like letting DH down gently then think of it as telling a child that Father Christmas doesn't exist and they should grow up! Your DH is going to fall in love with who ever he meets in that delivery room, he's gonna fall in love with you all over again aswell like they do lol, soppy fools:HH::)
Decisions!!!! I know WE want a sneak peek of who you got;), but if you can hold off and you've never held off before then its a whole new torturous, mind screwing, exciting experience!!!:rofl:
WantA, great gestation for a scan!!!! Have you looked through loads of ultrasound clips on you tube??? Kind of like homework:) Then YOU will know what your seeing even if the tech prints you some inconclusive pictures;) Best of luck with your blue, I've got a very lucky feeling about this site!!!
LOL! This is the BEST description of what the wait is! I actually had a dream last night that I went to the private scan and found out it was a boy, and instead of being thrilled I was quite angry with myself for ruining the surprise. I think deep down I really, really want to wait ... but aaaaargh ... patience is NOT something I have EVER been good about!
And ITA with re: to the DH ... I think it would be OK to let him hold onto the hope even if I did go find out and it is a girl :)
We'll see ... the place I was looking at online will do the scan at 16 weeks, which is shockingly close! I mean, I could know in like ... 9 days?!?!!? Tempting for sure!!!
ELP, I have looked at TONS of 13 week scans, including my son's. I don't see a darn thing most of the time LOL! I just bought a new printer/scanner, hopefully I can get it up and running by next weekend so I can post the pics.
According to Intelligender, it's a boy, which probably means it's a girl! Either way, I'll find out for sure Sept. 30. My friend is an u/s tech & promised me a freebie. I know she won't stop staring at that screen until she can tell me for sure what it is. :)
Oh begonia, what a tough decision!! When I do find out the gender, I'm not telling anyone, at least not at first, so maybe we'll both be keeping a big secret!
