Pink what time at night do you last eat and what time in the morning do you wake up and test? With my other two pregnancies they had me check every 2 hours. It I wanted to know what my spike is and my spike seems to be the 1 HR not the 2 HR mark.

Hi ladies!! Sorry I've been so MIA, but the holidays completely consumed me and I still feel so frazzled. I hope you all are doing well. Miss the friendships here. 9 weeks left and I have absolutely nothing done. However, my mother in law just bought the girls their twin beds for when they share a room... we are going to go ahead and put my dd in her new room - and the baby will take her room for now until they share. Other than that, we have nothing done. No clothes, absolutely nothing. :(
Does anyone have experience with head measurements for later ultrasounds? Had a ultrasound this week(35 weeks) and they're telling me the baby's head is 95th percentile. That terrifies me! My son was only in the 50th percentile for head size, so how could there be such a big difference?! I've heard later ultrasounds can be inaccurate for weight estimates, can they be wrong for head size too? I'm worried I'll need a c-section if I can't push him out :(
Sorry Lindz I have no experience of this, did the person doing the u/s scan say anything about it? Surely if it was a concern they should have mentioned it?
I know with my third child I was reading my notes after a scan and it said that the leg length was way behind the other measurements but the consultant had never mentioned it as an issue. I rang him and said it was morning to be concerned about, my son was born fine and has normal development, x
I have nothing bought for the baby either, we gave everything away after we deided no more after DS3, am going to buy the bare minimum stuff! XQuote:

Anyway we planned a lovely time with my dd, just me, her and her dad and we told her, she absolutely freaked out, not in a good way. It was so awful, I thought she would have reacted badly but not that badly. I still feel sick about it and it's hours later, I have just cried all evening since she went to bed, :-(
Girlie I am so sorry. One day she will have to understand that you tried and there is only so much that you or hubby could control. I do wonder if her issue lays in feeling out unnumbered.. have you ever tried telling her how special she is as your dreamt of and longed for daughter? That you felt so lucky cause you got her first when it didn't seem possible? That this means you and her will never have another little girl that could share your bond so your relationship within the family is unique? She is also forever daddy's little girl now. Any of those things may help ease her pain or even cheer her up if she hasnt heard them before.
I really have no words of comfort but I wish I did. My 11 year old told me coldly she thinks I should have had the abortion, as she sure as heck didn't need another sister and she wouldn't have 4 girls..I think when she saw my jaw fall to the floor is why she decided to add in "but you are strong and we will all be okay and I think Angela will like having a baby close to her age even if it is another girl"
I still couldn't believe some of her thoughts. Kids are shocking. Just know you are not alone with your daughters own gender disappointment. My oldest still tears up f she is reminded I will never give her a brother. She thinks I should keep trying till I do, I told her that's not how the world works lol

Girlie, I'm so sorry. I wish I could hug you! I don't know exactly what you are going through, obviously. But, my son also seems to be having his own GD about his sibling and yes, he is young and he will get over it quicker than anyone, I'm sure...but...who knows? He is more emotionally mature than any 3.5 year old I've ever known. He said he just likes girls better and just really wants the baby to be a girl. My heart is broken for him. And for me. And for you.
I'm so sorry. I really hope your heart heals quickly.
My littlest guy is kicking like CRAZY recently. I'm not worried about him at all anymore these days. He hiccups and kicks me HARD. Haha! He is a lot like DS 1 was in the womb.
I had a dream about them being older and the best of friends. I mean, like partners in crime friends. That made me so happy. I really hope that dream comes true!!!
