September 2013 babies!!

Oh those cravings.. I am still craving sour things, I need to have my grapefruit every morning :happy: I don't really remember what I was craving with my sons, but I feel like this pregnancy is no different from the other ones. And now since after my scan, I somehow "know" I am having another boy. I didn't get a picture of the nub, but I saw it, the nub pointing up. I realized this last night when I couldn't sleep and since then, I am feeling very low. I found my travel guide of California and trying to imagine a great vacation in two years when we are finally going HT. But somehow, it is not working yet :sad:
So not much hope for me.

Please tell me about that CVS test though. How does that work, and why doesen't everyone on here just do the test then to find out? Instead of waiting for another ultrasound... I know I would do it, lol. Is it very expensive? But accurate, right? I haven't heard of anything like that yet. At least it is offered nowhere around here.

hey longing for a girl i was just wondering exact same myself!

here's an nhs llink about it Chorionic villus sampling - NHS Choices

so it's too late for me and the nhs wouldn't do it as I don't have any of the risk catagories don't know how your healthcare works whether you could ask for it ? but we're probably both a bit far along now from what it says on the guidelines x

The past few days have been horrible with my crazy recurring dreams... The pas two days I just dreamt of a cep ting a boy nub... All my others were of a girl nub turning boy.... 2 more days till my NT.... I am going to bring my iPad to record it cause then I won't just have pics to obsess about for 6 weeks but a whole darn video lol... DH can't come to the u/s so it's more for him..... I guess.. Lol .... Not...

fish, thanks! Yes we probably have to wait now. They don't offer anything like that here. Do the doctors recommend those tests?

wanting a girl, oh no, your mind is playing tricks on you! This waiting is real torture, especially always the last few days before the next scan. Are you at least having a fun, busy weekend so you don't have to think about it constantly? I am crossing my fingers for you. LOVE the idea of bringing the ipad!!! :agree:

Me too! I can't believe how big I am already. At almost 12 weeks I'm the same size I was at 20 weeks with my last 3 pregnancies! There had better be just one baby in there... will find out in a week or 2 when I have my first u/s.

Southern butterfly I'm pleased there's three if us we can't all be carrying twins right ;-s

I'm blaming it on transition from 8 months LE to eat everything!

3 more sleeps till I see my dd ;-) or imagine two ds! My luck!!! Last time I was preggie my husband workmate said she was praying I'd have twins!!

Seriously can't wait to see this bubba might skip the nub shot and save the heartache ..... Thou I think i might be a typical boy mum can't resist scratching the itch as it were ;-)

Ill brag then and let you know that at 12 1/2 weeks im still in my skinny jeans. First pregnancy that has happened!! Although.. there is quite the muffin top happening.

I got told off by the hubby cos I've lost 1.5kilos since being pregnant, not my fault. im not sure what im doing wrong.

Sorry for tmi , for the last say week I've been having diarrhea cramps in the morning. Last night I had them after eating supper and this morning I had them as soon as I got up. It's horrible! Been feeling queasy too only at morning and night. I have 2 boys already. Anybody else had this? I don't think it's a very common symptom. I'm 10 weeks now,

I've never had this, but I've heard of others wo have. Hopefully it ends soon it doesn't sound fun!

Well I still have morning sickness, but not so bad that I can't eat. The problem is all food sounds awful to me, I just don't want to eat. The sickness gets worse if I don't eat though and I get really grouchy with my poor boys, so I have to force myself to eat. My blood sugar drops extremely fast and I get light headed and dizzy so I carry starburst favorite red jelly beans with me everywhere I go! I have my first dr appt on Thursday I'm excited to see my baby gummy bear, I wish DH could come with me but sadly he won't be able to go to ANY of my appts because of work!

Wow, I am jealous :happy: I just found out I have already gained 4 kilos. I decided to do some "pregnancy workout", I found a DVD on amazon. Will start tomorrow and hope it'll work. I also want to be fit when the baby comes :happy:

I didn't have that either, but I am crossing my fingers for you that it stops soon.

ugh i have a bump already ;-9

begining to feel better now, i've started hitting the exercise now i don't feel so rough!

fx we should all be feeling better over the next few weeks!

I'm really big too! It's not too bad in the morning but I do have a small bump morning, can't really do trousers up comfortably! And at night I honestly look about 7 months pregnant! I'm still going to a exercise class I do and haven't told anyone there I'm pregnant but they must laugh deep down as I'm the only one gaining weight in the class! My 12 week scan is on the 11th of march, can't wait to stop hiding my big belly! I have 2 boys already so hopefully it's just down to my skin being stretchier! I just hope I slow down growing! Anybody got any symptom spotting signs which they think could mean they're carrying girl. My only difference with this pregnancy is my nails and hair growth have slowed down, nails are really weak too, obviously my other weird symptom which I prob read further up, and sore boobs which I never had with boys.

This pregnancy is very different to my first two nearly identical pregnancies. This is the first time I have had morning sickness. I am a lot bigger with this one but maybe because as pp said just stretchier now. I am very spotty like I'm a teenager again and so tired all the time but this could be because I'm running after two busy little boys. I am trying really hard not to read too much into this pregnancy being different because my MIL had 6 boys and had two very different pregnancies out of the six and still got boys. I have my NT scan on the 18th of March I'll be 13+4 so hoping I will get a good idea of the gender of this little one :)

I'm nine weeks and just had my first gp appointment (I'll see my lovely ob from now on). I've put on 2 kg which isn't horrendous but I'm going to try not to let things get out of control this pregnancy as I tend to stack it on! It always comes off but I hate those few months afterwards of only fitting maternity clothes. I think it's because I normally run a lot but give it up when preggers cos I'm initially too sick/tired and then I'm just too big.

One week till I have my first ob appointment and see the baby! I still have so few symptoms I can't wait to check that it's actually happening! Thorz, my DH missed my scans with my first but now he's working independently he can shuffle his weeks around. Because I'm 39 now things like the nuchal are a bit scary so I need him there for moral support.

Good luck for those having scans this week. We don't have any twins yet? I'm pretty sure I'm not cos I don't really think my bump is big enough.

Omg I am having my nt tommorrow and I am starting to freak out lol I have had a gut feeling there is two since I got preg and I am flipping huge! I also don't know if I want a nub shot cause I was looking through confirmed boy nubs today and so many of them looked so girly

I too am jealous of you ladies who have put on so little weight! Here I am from today at 12 weeks exactlyAttachment 9209

And here I was at almost 8 weeks already sporting a little "bump"
Attachment 9210

No I just want one.... Two babies wouldn't suit our life very well of course I will adjust if I have to but I am just hoping for one.... People keep telling me I'm crazy blah blah blah but I can't shake the feeling that there is two till I see it with my own eyes

I am very large and I have pics of ds3 and I barley had a bump at this point! And I gained almost 10 lbs by time I was 12 weeks... With this preg I'm gigantic and I have lost weight havnt gotten over my start weight yet so its concerning lol

I still think that you're so huge because everything is just getting strechier. I am huge too, but carrying only one. Still weird that you have that strong feeling of having two babies in there. Crossing my fingers for you for today!:luck:

Southern Butterfly you're tiny! Good luck at your scan Wanting-a-girl. Hoping there's only one. DH just looked at me in alarm cos I'm massive at night time but I'm not too big in the morning so hopefully it's just one baby, a tired 4th baby tummy and evening bloat. I don't think I could cope with twins.

I had a bad weekend with food, we went to a restaurant and I swear I ate a weeks worth of calories in one meal. Then the next day DH made brownies, and I had more than my share. I think I
gained 5 lbs over the weekend :(

My appt is at 11! It's 8 right now just getting 2 of the 3 kidlets off to school... Today I'm feeling more confident about there only being one lol and hopefully last night was my last nub dream lol

That's what I'm doing as well. Especially during the whole mornings, i am constantly starving, only to find myself feeling too full to eat lunch at noon, lol.

Wanting, crossing my fingers for you!! This is so exciting, can't wait to see pictures. Have you decided if you want a nub shot? I looked at the boy nubs as well and it's really hard to tell sometimes.
