Congrats Kel!!
I'm starting to get a bit excited / nervous about finding out in a few weeks. I would love to wait until I know the gender before telling people but I'm afraid my belly will pop before then. Last night I was considering going to the shop on the way home to get maternity pants as I'm getting uncomfortable. I will try to wait until next week as I have taken the whole day off for my first antenatal appointment :)
Congratulations Kellbell, thats wonderful news! Have you made your first pink purchase yet?
Kel materniT is very accurate. Id say any chance of error depends on when you had it done. at 9 weeks there MIGHT be a chance Y chromosome wasnt in your blood yet enough for them to find it but if you had it 10 weeks or after then id say you are for sure having another little GIRL! :)
btw Brandles it does worry me and probably baby too that me and her are wanting boys and you are wanting a girl but we all have the same kind of sickness..it will be interesting indeed to see if we all have the same gender, or if its coincidence based on when we all conceived and it will be split different..in a perfect world me and baby would get our boys and you'd have your girl.
Yeah Kel those blood tests are more accurate then scans, I'd start buying pink!! [emoji166]

I have the exact same symptoms as you ladies and I am having a boy. I'm not a big believer that symptoms are an indication of gender :)Quote:

Anyone TTC a girl and have NO symptoms? Like I forget I am pregnant. Other than mild backache sometimes and the odd craving for fruit I have no symptoms. ZERO nausea. I had WAY more nausea with my son than I do with this one. I am 11w3d now. What are your thoughts?
I would LOVE a little girl. I have no symptoms I hope I'm still pregnant [emoji16] in the morning I get a tiny bit of nausea. Been getting lots of back soreness though but that could be from other things non pregnancy related. I was never sick with my two sons either though. My mum had 2 girls 1 boy and never had ms with any of us. I don't think gender has anything to do with sickness it's just how your body copes this particular time around IMO. [emoji846]Quote:

I really think that these wives tales are not gender related but they are personality of the baby related. My son had a HB of 172 and I had nausea with him for example. Well he is a wild baby and won't sit still for a second. He is also a bit needy and emotional. Perhaps nausea picks up hormones reflective of sensitivity and can be in either gender. So this baby has a HR of 138 and no nausea so this baby might be calmer and more independent? I am just thinking out loud I don't know if I make sense haha.
My sickness has been mild but I don't know what I'm having yet. Ds2 was worse than this one.
Rang the drs and NT results are all normal. I didn't ask the actual risk score, I'm happy with normal :)
I guess no harmony test for me.
Scan done there's 1 baby in there with a due date of the 20th April 2017. Measuring 6 + 5 heart beat of 122

Congrats purple on your results and congrats magical on a healthy baby and HB:)
I agree I don't think the old wives tales are meant to reflect women as a whole but rather as individuals. I did the pendant 'test' earlier thanks to a friend that egged me on saying it was right for all of hers and her miscarriage so I did it and got circle (oldest) side to side (miscarriage) circle (middle) circle (baby) and then it went side to side... Circle being girl and side to side being boy. Probably the biggest bunch of horse poop luck lol we will see I guess
Congrats Magical!! Will you now have to wait until 12wks or will you get an earlier scan? Are you seeing a private OB or going through the public system for your maternity care?
I'm thinking I'll get the NIPT testing done. With my last 2 I went public through the midwifery programs and was happy but thinking for my last I might go private, I have the private cover so might as well use it.Quote:

[emoji166]One last pink sway 2016[emoji166]
My Ovulation Chart
I have my ultrasound scan today and I am 11w3d. Is that too early to see for a nub? Or does it depend on the angle of the picture. Or can the nub still change as this is too early?
Your thoughts?
Congrats on your results ladies! And thanks! I did sway and still can't believe it's a girl! I didn't really think it was a very strong sway but tickled pink (hehe) that it worked!! If it's any consolation to you ladies dealing w/ the morning sickness, I was SO VERY sick w/ both my boys and nauseous again this time w/ this lil girl. The old wives tale about being sick w/ a girl did not hold true for me - I was more sick w/ the boys! Can't wait to buy some pink! My daughter is SO excited!
Nessa it can still change. I think there is a very very small chance to get what they call an 'early riser' if it's a boy in which cause that's less likely to change but a flat nub can still go up until the 13th week I believe
Either way it can't hurt to share and have others guess... Some will not guess on a nub that early though
for anyone else suffering with this all day nausea and/or puking...only thing i have found that gives temporarily relief is a milkshake. only do it if you are brave cause obviously any kind of milk coming back up is not fun..but it seems to really soothe the belly for me. any flavor should be alright...im big on chocolate and strawberry at the moment..
Brandles. Ciness. I've been wondering the same. Obviously we all don't want same gender. I hope that we all hear what we want. I think this is the worst I've felt ever! But I don't want to put too much stock into that as my friend recently had her 3rd boy after a terrible totally different pregnancy to her first 2.
Congrats magical. that's fab news x
Purple great your nt was normal even if it means you have to wait the extra few weeks for gender now xx
Burk I will try milkshake. I tried a yop yoghurt drink yesterday and all I will say is that was not fun!
I can't believe we have genders coming in already. I feel times going so slow. 10w tomorrow. Feels ages to my 13w scan let alone 16w gender scan! Hope everyone's feeling as well as they can be xxx
Drink it slow baby!! I actually recommended milkshakes to my cousin when she was pregnant a few years back as she too had hyperemesis... It was the first thing that stayed down in weeks for her and then she went crazy on them and ice cream for a few months after that lol... Whatever works though! I would imagine yogurt would taste sooo good right now... And Yes come right back up :( the live cultures and all that would not help an already upset stomach imo
I am craving steak chalupas from Taco Bell pretty badly... But I am afraid to eat them :(
Goodluck at your scan today Nessa, cant hurt to ask about nub.
Good luck today Nessa, can't wait to see photos!!!

Thanks ladies! I just posted my nub pics! Not sure if you can actually see the nub or not tho.
Does anyone know how many week the nub typically rises for a boy?
Did the person doing the scan say anything? I think 11 weeks is to early I think the nub can rise up till 13 weeks.Quote:

Nessa I actually thought I was 11+3 for my scan and was happy if I didn't get a nub shot as knew it was too early then. I ended up measuring 12+3 and got perfect nub shots but don't want to believe them yet and get my hopes up!
Glad your scan went well... I will go check out the photos.
I think I read somewhere the % of accuracy with nub shots is something like 70% at 11weeks, 80% at 12weeks and 90% at 13weeks

Well ladies I am 11 weeks today and feeling more terrible than ever before. I was hoping things would maybe start to calm down symptom wise but about 2 days ago they started to increase dramatically. I have excessive salivation which is a not too common pregnancy symptom. I had it with ds1 also. It is hands down the worst symptom for me. It leaves a 24hr nasty taste and feeling in my mouth. It also causes my nausea to be exponentially worst.
With the increase in these symptoms I have bee feeling pretty down the last few days because I just feel so awful :(
I hope everyone else is doing better!

big hugs jen...hopefully the increase is your hormones ramping up one last time before finally mellowing out for a while....
was surprised i got to see baby today at my appointment. Was not expecting an ultrasound at all...will make time go quicker between now and 20 weeks though since i opted out of an NT scan to do my genetic blood work sooner...they wanted me to wait until almost 12 weeks for both and i was like "nah" lol...so now i'll get blood work done at 10+2 but wont get to see baby until an elective ultrasound at 16 weeks...will be a long 2 months! i'll already know what baby is by the time i go in for that one though since im doing the blood test :)
For everyone who told me to have faith...baby measures ahead now right where i honestly thought it SHOULD have been all along...putting conception the day after my very strong OPK test, and the last time i had sex in my fertile window. So....fingers are crossed really hard right now. Heart was strong at 188 BPM. Baby had its back to the wand, lol...i could see it's tiny little hands though...
Baby being silly with its back to the doctor

Great pic Burakoam. I am not prego yet but I drop by this thread often to watch all you lovely ladies in your journey and so hoping to join you soon. I gotta say though, never having been pregnant and waiting desperately for my BFP, I kinda scared now for the first trimester and all the MS all of you are having. Hope everyone starts feeling better soon.
That's so cute!!!Quote:
