You are so sweet Sparkles. I have super strong feelings that it is a girl too but that could just be wishful thinking and if I am wrong I am sure that will lead to even stronger disappointment. I only refer to baby as "she" already and I am sure that is not smart of me to do.Quote:

Don't hang your hopes on this OR allow yourself to feel defeated by this. It's a theory not a proven fact. Hell even anatomy scans can even be wrong too! This happened to my poor cousin!
Just view it as another old wives tale, because I feel that it will eventually become one.

Kc- i can't image how hard it is to not get to see baby till 12 weeks. That seems so outdated to wait that long. Can you call and tell doc you have concerns and want earlier appointment? Or call around to other clinics? There are lots of resources out there if you search. Don't rely on what your insurance says. There is a place in my city that will do pregnancy confirmation and one ultrasound before 13 weeks- completely free- no questions asked about insurance or income. I would have had no idea such a place existed till I did internet research trying to find a private ultrasound place and it popped up.Quote:

I'm calling my bean 'him' all the time now, and starting to think of boy names (so hard, as I don't like any), it makes me feel more at peace.
Thought if I am am wrong, I do think I will still feel disappointment at the scan for a little minute.
I think with Ramzi, it's not the side they impact on.Quote:

They said it can only be seen on an early scan.
Good to know that you had false Ramzi results though, I would be lying if I said I didn't hold out a tiny slither of girly hope still ;)

Yesterday was a big day, had my NIPT blood done and got a surprise second ultrasound. Baby was amazingly active. It was waving arms and kicking legs. Tech even thought she saw it sucking thumb and playing with umbilical cord. It was so much different than the 8w ultrasound where it just looked like a gummy bear. It looks like a real baby now, fingers, toes, spine, brain... Heart beat was 156 and it measured perfect. I am 11w0d today.
Also yesterday- I didn't throw up!!! The nausea is getting better, not gone, but more manageable and I can go longer without feeling sick. It tends to be worse at night and I have a headache everyday but I think the worst might be over (fingers crossed).
Should get my gender and chromosome results in about 7-10 days. I am very very nervous. I feel so strongly it is a girl (and want it to be girl) that the thought of hearing boy...well I can't even think about it. Although yesterday on US I thought baby looked boy, not anything potty related, just overall felt boy. Going to be a long week.
Beautiful baby xQuote:

Absolutely beautiful picture, what a fantastic moment !
Yay, for lessening of the symptoms of morning sickness too :D

She easily found the HB with the Doppler (I have one at home and luckily had already been hearing it for a week, so I wasn't too worried) AND I had my blood drawn for the Harmony test. I was 10w on the dot but she said since I'm a fairly small person there should be plenty of DNA to work with. Now I'm just worried about false results! I know it's super rare but it's not unheard of.
Of course, I'm trying to tell myself this is another boy. And honestly, I think I will have a better reaction than I did the first time around, when I was devastated - because now I see how having a boy was the best thing that ever happened to me and he is my whole life and I had NOTHING to worry about. I'm sure the next one will be the same. But I still find myself imagining it as a girl in my head. (I don't FEEL like it's a girl, I'm just imagining it is because it's what I wanted.) I think the real challenge if it's boy will be me thinking that there's NO WAY he can be as sweet and wonderful and perfect as our first, yknow? Whereas a girl is a whole new ball game and I'm unlikely to think down that path. Just so many feelings swirling around. In any case, I should know by this time next week what it is...surreal, eh? Fingers crossed for pink but even more so that I feel at peace with the result, whatever it is.
Just got my Harmony test results. Everything is fine and came back with low risk. And IT'S A GIRL!!! I can't believe I am typing these words. It is so surreal. Thanks you so much Atomic for your priceless advices. I will post my sway soon.
That's such great news !
Must be lovely hearing the heartbeat :D
You have such a great attitude, that I don't think you will be disappointed either way
Well, it's easy for me to say all that right now... we shall see how I react in the moment when I get the "it's a boy" phone call next week. :X I'm sure I won't be as accepting as I'd like to think.
Omg CONGRATS dreamsister! Amazing news, over the moon for you!
Dreamsister that's so great! Now our group is two for two! It's so wonderful that we've kicked things off with such positive sway results.
We chose a doula over the weekend and I'm happy I was able to find someone I'm comfortable with. I'll give a natural birth a good try but I won't feel like "My dream birth was ruined!" if there are any interventions.
We're also deciding whether to switch from the hospital half a mile from our house to a hospital 12 miles from our house but half a mile from my parents' house. The advantage of the further hospital is that they have a team of two highly regarded midwives and have great stats. Also, maybe it's easier for my parents to visit while I'm recovering. They also have a jacuzzi tub you can use while laboring. The closer hospital is super convenient for both the delivery and prenatal appointments, but the oncall OB will be one of 17 OBs in the practice.
Congrats dreamsister! It takes a while to sink in when you find out you are getting your desired gender :)
Sounds like this group might be doing a bit better with successful sways compare to the March, April, May group. I hope the sucesses keep coming :)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!! So excited for you Dreamsister. This is such exciting news. So happy for you. We are two for two!!!Quote:

I don't think I am as prepared to hear boy as you are but who knows how I will actually react. Hoping we both keep the good news coming and make it 4 for 4 in this group. So fun that ladies are already finding out.
Amelia- happy you have choices. Does insurance cover a doula or you pay private? I haven't looked into it with my doc and hospital.
Dreamsister - That is phenomenal news :DD:
So happy for you, and great news that our group is 2 for 2. Has there ever been a group where 100% got their desired Gender?
By the law of averages it has to happen sometime, hope it's this group :)
Congrats on your successful sway! Truly awesome!Quote:

thread crashing to say that the reason people use implantation side with ramzi is because thats usually the side the placenta is on.
Girliecat, I totally understand how you feel. I would've sworn I was fully prepared with my first, but I obviously wasn't. I know it won't be a comfort, but it's honestly true that if you have a boy, when he is born you will find it hard to believe you were ever disappointed. I still look at my son and wonder how I ever wanted a girl first instead of him. Obviously I do still want a girl, so I'm not saying that desire would go away, but it really is true that you will be so so glad he is who he is. I'm sitting here with my coffee right now and my son is snuggling up to my midsection, gazing up at me, and grinning. The heart melts!
Nonetheless, I do hope you get your girl!! I can't wait for us to find out next week!
Yeah mine implanted on the right, and the placenta is on the right of that.Quote:

But still it could be wrong, as one of the ladies here said Ramzi doesn't always work

Today we had the 12 week+4 ultrasound. Everything looks great. The baby did not know it was picture day and was sleeping on his belly during the ultrasound. I tried coughing a few times and going on my side to wake him up and he turned on his side towards us but never got on his back and then went back to sleeping on his belly. The tech flipped the head photo upside down so one of the photos looks like he's looking up but he was actually looking down the whole time.
Unfortunately, insurance does not pay for the doula. We could use our HSA for it though. We're in a major metropolitan area our doula is on the high-ish side at $1,900. The most expensive I found was $2,500 and the cheapest maybe $1,200? We spoke to four different doulas total (three at a Meet the Doulas event) and I'm feeling less and less fearful about birth.

Anyone having problems with waking up in the middle of the night with nausea & hunger? I get up to eat a little and lay awake for an hour or so. Very annoying with this new sleeping disorder habit.

Cute pictures MrsSparkles and Amelia. So nice to be able to get an insight on the little ones.
MrsS: My placenta was at week 11 located on the right side. According to Ramzi this is the boy-side, which in my case dosen't match theory. I read somewhere that the placenta can move and Ramzi is only usefull before 8 weeks. When will you find out gender?

Amelia - how cute are his little cheeks ! So adorable
dreamsister- I wake up at 4am to pee. And it drives me insane cos it is so hard to get back to sleep!
Won't find out until 16 weeks!
Do you really only pee one time during night? I pee like 5-6 times and it also drives me insane!

Ha ha me and DH actually sleep in different rooms (now that I don't need his swimmers anymore ha ha) I sleep with two of my boys, the other one sleeps next door together with our dog and DH sleeps downstairs, so I don't wake him up with all my nightly peeing & eating activities.

Dream, I wake up all night long. Sometimes to pee, sometimes I feel sick and other times just because I am not comfortable. It is annoying. I keep lemonade on my night stand and sip on that when I wake up with dry mouth or feeling yucky.
Oh my god. Oh my god, I am shaking.
I just got the call from my doctor's office with Harmony results.
Very low risk for any abnormalities.
And...
it's...
a...
GIRL.
IT'S A FREAKING GIRL!
MY SWAY WORKED! OH MY GODDD!
A GIRL A GIRL A GIRL! I AM IN SHOCK!
My mind is going through all the ways in which it could be a mistake, lol! Test error? Collection error? Did they accidentally call me with someone ELSE's results? There's no way this can be correct, right?
OMG!!!
OMG we are 3 for 3 !!!!
This is immense I am so happy for you Blckhrt !!!!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG- I am so excited for you blckhrt!! That is so awesome! I can't believe you got the results back so fast. It is not a mistake- those test are so accurate! I get so happy for everyone that gets what they swayed for or prayed for.
This is unbelievable that we are 3 for 3! I am so nervous to get my results next week...
Wow congrats Blckhrt!!
Ok, y'all! I had my apt! I am down 3lbs... even after Thanksgiving and eating like crazy! I did get scanned but with the craziest US machine ever and babe was so stubborn! S/he would not move so we get a side profile! So, no really good nub shots but we got a few other shots, ill post and you guys can guess (no matter I am aware I am really early, haha!) My plan go for a private scan in a few weeks anyways.

These are the best pics of babe.
Then these. Baby is on s/he side just a bit with legs open and s/he was kicking. I maked them just hoping it would help with orientation.

I know it's early, so, I am not putting much into these shots. Babe just was not helpful, haha!
Cute baby! Nub shots need to be 12.5-13.5 weeks. All of my boys had a clearly visible scrotum and penis at 13w2d-13w5d.
