My family think I'm insane! :)

A lot of people can't understand the need for four. But I love having a big family. Luckily those who we have already told have not been as shocked because we made a big deal about the fact we were trying for number four since my MC. So I've already had the you must be mad comments months ago :)

Good luck with the ultrasound maple.

I was reading the comments about family size and laughing at how different it still is in Ireland. I would love to have 5 and all my friends want at least 3-4 kids except 1 who doesn't want any. My eldest sis only has 2 and she got a hard time over that. But I suppose when you come from a family of 6 (dh 7) 5 does not seem like a lot

Oh no 3boys! Praying everything is fine in there. If it helps...my mom fell down a flight of stairs when she was pregnant with me...like 3 or 4 months pregnant and I turned out just fine. Everything will be okay!

Hi ladies! I am back in action. Tendonitis is almost 100% healed up and I am typing and writing normally again. Let's see...what's new...

Well I went in for my first u/s last Wednesday and Thursday. Had to force it because they were not going to do one until I hit 12 weeks but because I had two spotting incidents they went ahead and did it for me. Baby Bear's hr was 156 (which makes me think boy) and implanted on the right (which according to Ramzi also indicates boy).

Here is the u/s photo. Baby Bear is measuring 7 weeks 5 days here which was spot on for when I ovulated.
Attachment 6241

I opted to do the Nucal Scan which means I will see Baby Bear again at 12 weeks. I have dry heaves which may be worse than actually vomiting because I just heave and heave and nothing comes up. Almost like 24 hour motion sickness. I have tried saltines, protein, ginger ale, ginger tea...nothing helps. Water even makes me feel queasy. I just keep telling myself...only 4 more weeks until I start to feel a bit functional, lol.

Oh no 3boys hope you are ok - probably the best stage for baby as its still burried deep down inside you and hopefully still safe and snug with no ideas what going on - i hope you are ok and didn't do yourself too much damage. I fell down our stairs years ago and really struggle with my back now especially when pregnant - i really hope your ok x

My heart goes out to you, my family are the same - noone will be pleased for us, my mom thinks three is too much already as does dh's mom and dad (and of course we get the why would you bother you know it will only be another boy) and my work will be really upset too as i have just started a new job and been on maternity leave twice already in the 5 years i have been there (although i do work part time).

On the other hand, its nice to have someone in the same position as me!

Argh, today I met a woman who is 4 months pregnant and she literally has no bump at all, I look like I am 6 months pregnant or something over here lol it was embarrassing when she asked and I had to say I am only 11 weeks along, and like quadruple her tummy size. I am petite and it's all in my tummy, I know with your second you obviously show faster but still. Kinda got me feeling a little down :( especially after my doctor was all concerned about the "6lbs" I gained. Pfft.

Hi guys just a quick update as I need my bed. Baby is fine thank God!
Im a bit battered and bruised, managed to sprain my wrist and I have a Fred flintstone bump on my head. doctors said I am suffering from minor concussion (but to be honest it's just a head ache, I was being sick anyway lol). I'm ok just ache from head to toe.
So Glad baby is ok. I just cried the whole time I was there as i was so worried and the doctors seemed more concerned about me than the baby I could have hit em ha ha.

My family have kinda been the opposite. They ask when I will be having more? My 85 yr old father in law said 'You must have more kids, you have 2 boys, you need 2 girls'... Ugh. No pressure, lol.

Thanks Maple. I'm sure I will be okay looking pregnant soon enough lol I better get used to it!
And my DH's family is the same, I told them I'm done at 2 and they were shocked, his mom was actually upset lol but if I feel it's best for our family, that's what I'm stickin to! But I can understand the pressure for sure haha

Ladies,

I had my first u/s today at 6 wks + 4, looking good. One baby only! I had eggs released from both ovaries, so not sure which egg was fertilised.. Heart rate was 129...

Glad all is good! XX

Thank you so much everyone for all your well wishes yesterday. It's so touching How kind everyone is on here.
I'm so glad that everything is ok and apart from a few minor injuries and feeling a bit stupid, not to mention clumsy I was really lucky.

Babys heart rate was 182 bpm. Not that I believe in the heart rate gender theory but is this fast or slow?

I have never done the baking soda test but when I was PG with DS3 we did the red cabbage test and apart from making my whole house and laundry smell of cabbage it was completely useless. One minute it said girl, next pee it said boy. Then we were testing DH for fun. There were cups of cabbage piss everywhere lol.

Anyway, glad to see that everyone is doing pretty well, yucky feelings aside. I have a question though. Is anyone showing a little bit yet? Any kind of tiny bump at all? The reason I'm asking is because, with this being my third pregnancy and it also being twins, I thought for sure I'd be showing by now (almost 10 weeks), at least a little bit. But I'm totally not. You can tell that I'm very bloated and kind of "thick" looking in the middle, and you can tell that I've put on a few pounds, but I most definitely don't have any kind of bump. It makes me a tiny bit worried that the babies aren't growing or something, but I suppose it's still early. Just wondering what you girls are experiencing...

Hi sweetpea, I haven't been on the forum for some days now and only reading this now. I'm also 10wks 3days and I have just posted to a friend telling her the same concern like yours. I'm also not showing yet...and I so much thought that I would show quite early in the beginning. I put up some 3kilos almost immediately and now it seems I'm not growing anymore. I don't have a bump yet either and like you I'm starting to get worried. I still have nausea and I'm exhausted every day. Food and everything else really smell bad so still having pregnancy symptoms. But honestly I can't wait to go for my scan next week on Friday. Can't wait to see baby moving and at the same time I'm afraid to go, I'm afraid something went wrong since my last ultrasound :( It's kind of reassuring though reading your post. I just have to continue reading if there were any updates from your post. Hope our babies are all growing fine!

I am so excited because it seems so soon!!! LESS THEN A MONTH! I am going to pray every night that baby cooperates and let's us see HER baby nubbins hehehe ;)

Wow cvd! That's awesome! I would definately do like you and go no matter how far it is :) Hope you hear girl of course :)

CVD don't let it get to you honey. I gained like 8 pounds or so already and when I went for my first visit the midwife gave me the nutrition and weight gain lecture. I say Pfft too, lol. Pfft to all of em! I am sure it will level out now that I can't stand to eat because of the nausea. This morning I ate a graham cracker and sliced pickles. I'm sure no weight gain there. For lunch I am having baked chicken, white rice, and a salad. And of course...water, water, water...even though it makes me nauseous. Which reminds me...I need to go post my belly pic for this week.

3boys thanks and so glad to hear that everything is just fine with the baby! Yes my baby bear is cooking away in there. I believe the theory goes high hr over 140 = girls and low hr under 140= boys. Two scientific studies dispel the myth however. There is no real correlation between hr and gender. But it is all in fun. My little boy always had a hr on the lower side so the myth was true for him, lol. This little one's hr was 156.
