Ah yes I forgot you had an early scan so already knew your magic number! ;) my SIL (due early August and just found out she's having another girlie) has showed super early this time (also her second); she is super tiny (like UK 6-8) My MIL keeps comparing our bumps and telling ME I need to eat more (I'm usually a 12 but was 8-10 when we conceived, and I'm probably a 10-12 now)! Err hello?!? Lol ;) xx
Hello Ladies,
Late one here as I forgot these boards were here!
Here are my details:
Due 28th Sep 2014
Swayed Girl
Staying team green (although I do have fairly boy like 12week scan pics!)
Hello to everyone and hope that your pregnancies are going well. I am 14weeks today and boy has my bump popped out. Totally nervous too as I have a bridesmaid dress to fit into in a couple of weeks!!!

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is feeling well this morning.
I'm still nervous about the spotting but I keep hearing positive feedback from people who have experienced it with good results so that has relaxed me some. I'm just taking it easy for now.
Welcome, JenB! Hopefully, you will still be able to fit into your dress! I can't wait til I see a baby bump! I just wanna get to that point where I can stop worrying...if that ever happens...
Thanks mlka, sorry to hear about your spotting. How far along are you? I have had spotting with two of my healthy pregnancies, including this one. It last just over two weeks I think and at early scan all was good at 7weeks. Fingers crossed for you, im sure all is fine x
Thanks, JenB, that's very encouraging! I am only 5weeks along and have been spotting for a week now. It's even been more than spotting on occasion but nothing heavy and no cramps follow so I'm not too worried yet. My appointment not for two weeks...I will feel so relieved to hear his heartbeat for the first time.
Welcome Jen!
I have my NT scan on April 11th. I am nervous because I feel I know nubs pretty well that I'll definitely have an idea:/
I am going to focus on the head though as I really want to stay team green this time!! But I'm pretty sure that's what I said last time!!
I passed the idea by DH to stay team green and he was like... NO. Since we already have one of each gender and have all the stuff I thought it would be fun but I guess not. He is all worried about where we are going to put this baby since we have a 4 bedroom house. I told him we should make a bedroom out of the loft area upstairs and that way it wouldn't matter what gender. He still wouldn't go for it... Oh well:(
Welcome jenb! :) I don't think I could ever be team green, I'm too much of a control freak lol
Good luck for your scan coocoo. I too was convinced I'd see a boy sticky up nub straight away (I was nearly 14 weeks when I had my scan) but bubs had other ideas and laid on its tummy the whole time with the legs tightly crossed xx
Hi ladies! I feel still so far from my Scan, I haven't even had my first appt yet. April 11th I have my first and I should be around 8 weeks then. Getting a BFP so early makes the time crawl by! I had a few days I felt pretty good and then the constant ms came back. Yesterday was my day off, ms combined with a migraine was not a good day. I feel a little better today but feel like I have an aversion to every kind of food. I didn't have these bad of aversions with my other 3. The coffee aversion is killing me (why I had a headache yesterday). I found the days I have had chai tea were the best. My kids babysitter gave me a box so I will see if that is the cure for my aches. Can't wait to hear about everyone's scans and hope everyone starts feeling better! Also, holy moly I have a small baby bump already!

Hi Ladies,
We had our first appt this morning and got to see the lil bub's heartbeat!
My midwife did a papsmear as well and the rest of my day has been rough with bad cramping and some spotting which she said she had made me spot but it was fine.
ms has come in waves last night it hit me so hard all I could muster was a handful of french fries and sprite two things I NEVER EVER eat! Tonight all I wanted was french fries haha so I found myself at the Wendy's drive through ordering just french fries! I told my hubby that I shall name this baby french fry baby!
How exciting Tomgirl! Seeing that heartbeat is just so magical!! 😊

Sorry you're so sick tomgirl, I feel for yah!
Acason have you tried iced coffee? For some reason this is the one thing I can drink, even more so than water!! Bizarre! Figured that out last pregnancy:)
I'm going to be a house soon. I've gained less than last time by this point but since I've been feeling better, I want more good but also need to eat every couple hours to feel ok, errrg!
I think I will tell my boys after my scan next Friday. I'm curious how they will react! They wanted more siblings about 6 months ago but I haven't heard anything since, so not sure!!
We told the boys today that we are having twins! We haven't told them yet it was just an April's fool joke...so they went to bed thinking 2 babies not 1 are coming.
Hi girls
Can I please join this thread- I am due with my third on 10 September. I have 2 boys already and desperately hoping for a girl, although preparing for a boy as technician guessed boy at 13 week scan.
We didnt sway as ive only just found this site and didn't know about swaying..although I'm a vegetarian anyway, drink loads of diet coke and only dtd twice month we conceived around ovulation so maybe a bit of natural sway?
Since hearing the technician guess boy I've had GD - I've always wanted a baby girl ( wanting both Ds1 and 2 to be) and 3 children was always our limit so feel this was my last chance.
x
I've been there dream, soooo been there so let me know if you need to talk more about your gd if in fact it is a boy!
I hope you get your girl though!!
Oh and welcome!!!
Welcome dream pink!! Hope you have your little girl in there. Three was my limit also and I remember that feeling of thinking it is a boy. There is still hope. Did your tech tell you why she thought boy?
She just said based the angle she would guess boy- but I'm not convinced she had long to study it as baby had its back to us most if the time and only moved position in last few mins and still remained pretty curled up- but then again maybe she saw something obvious.
I was so certain I wanted to find out but when she said she thought boy I felt utterly crushed and the only thing keeping me going at the moment is the glimmer of hope that she may have got it wrong. Of course I will love my baby no matter what but I desperately wanted a girl ( I'm one of 4 sisters and have always been part if a girlie family). Our little girl has had a name ever since my husband and I met and it just doesn't feel possible that shemay never be here with us.
Are you girls all going to find out?
Thanks for your support- I really appreciate it. Xxx
It's bizarre thinking I won't have a girl even at this point when I was really starting to move on. It's weird that you imagine this being and it just doesn't happen. It's a hard pill to swallow.
I'm not going to find out this time only because I was soooo sad last time and that guilt was too much. I feel like I would handle it better this time as I am definitely more realistic that I'm most likely carrying a boy. I've never had a suprise though and I'm kinda just excited to meet my baby not her or him... Which is a huge step for me:)
Dream pink you sound like a lot of us on here. Desperately wanting a girl. I know how that feels and I shed lots of tears. One of the things that helped me the most was reading other peoples posts about their GD and knowing that I wasn't alone. IRL my husband was so unsupportive. As far as he was concerned we had two boys and who needed anything else. He made me feel like something was wrong with me. Hopefully you have a DH who is more supportive than mine!!
As far as the angle I do think that you really need to take a close look and get a good picture of the spine (when it is straight) to really know what is going on. It isn't as easy as the 20 week scan. I think sometimes techs also get irritated that we are ask about gender and then just blurt out whatever they think. They are scanning all these important parts like the heart, the brain, the bones, (life and death things) and what do we ask about... the gender. I am sure the techs hate it (at least that is the feeling I get from some of them).
You could go for a private scan at 15 weeks. That might help if it is a boy. Then at your anatomy scan you won't be crying and you can be more happy that the baby is healthy. That is what I did with #3. I just knew it was a boy so I wanted to get it over with and find out so I could cry for days. I didn't sway with #3 (I still think DH did it so we wouldn't get a DD!!) so it is possible to get a DD without swaying!!
Dream Pink I have been there! We had DS3 last April, 3 was always our plan. I had GD with him and at the time I was sad. There was a very obvious boy num at 12 weeks which was a blessing. It prepared me more to hear boy. I can tell you thought DS3 is the light of my life now. He is the sweetest baby and just loves to cuddle with his momma. His face lights up when I come into the room and he comes right to me. I cannot imagine my life without him and am so happy with 3 boys! Never thought that would be me. There is something adorable about a little group of guys together. Their bond is amazing. I still would feel a twinge mourning the daughter I never had, but I wouldn't change it. Well we are back to square one with this surprise baby #4. I will be slightly disappointed if I have another boy, but I had already accepted never having a girl so I don't think it will be as bad. There are a lot of ladies here in your shoes or have been there. If you need to talk we all understand exactly how you feel! Congrats on the baby!

Hi dream and welcome Hun :) many ladies feel/ felt as you do. Although this is only my second baby I very much doubt that we will have another (money/ space/ time etc) so I too am in the 'wanting a daughter last chance saloon' :/ it's a pretty depressing place! I hope you have your girl on board. Have you decided yet if you will find out or not? We deffo will; I feel like I am holding my breath till that time.
I'm due the week after you and I had my 16 week MW appointment yesterday. All is well and she offered to try to find baby's hb on the Doppler. She got it straight away and it was lovely to hear that sound again :) then she suddenly says 'ohh I think it's a girl' NO! DO NOT TELL ME THAT! GAHHHH!
I know she meant well but seriously for someone going through GD owts are not helpful; I want proof. Every time I start feeling that I'm getting a grip on GD and the thought that this is a boy, a little comment like that just sends me straight down the rabbit hole again :(
Hope all you ladies are ok xx
Hi everyone, is anyone super moody my hormones are soo crazy at the moment everything makes me cross especially dh i feel sorry for him but hate him at the same time soo hope this passes soon! My scan is next tue im soo hoping for a rubbish nub shot so i cant guess i would really like to stay team green for a little bit longer i know baby will be a boy but not ready just yet to confirm things!
Poppy you have a bitchy friend right here. I am snapping at my husband and my dog constantly. They are both driving me up the wall and they arent doing anything different. Its terrible!!
Hi girls
Thanks for your lovely messages. So good to know others have felt the same and I'm not a complete nutcase...
The feelings are getting easier as the days pass- party because I'm
Doing all I can to try to get excited about a new little boy entering our family- I've brought him lots of cute blue baby clothes ( figured why should he have twice handed clothes just because he is a boy..!) and party because I'm still holding a bit of hope and praying every night she got it wrong.
Hubby doesn't really understand ( he's from an all boy family so doesn't really see the problem)- I don't really think anyone understands though unless they have been through the same. My mum has been good- she had GD the other way way- had 4 girls but longed for a boy and he came as number 5! Funny how things work out.
Have those of you having girls had any different symptoms this time round?
CooCoo- good to hear you are staying green this time- will give you time to bond with baby no matter what colour. Will you not even try to nub guess though? x
Hi wanting pink- will you find out with #4 or leave a surprise. You could end up with the perfect family; 2 boys and 2 girls :-)
Was the nub girlie with #3?
x
I want to leave #4 a surprise but DH is like NO WAY. So we will find out with MaterniT21. I found out at about 12 weeks that we were having a girl when they called me with the MaterniT21 results.
2 boys and 2 girls really would be the perfect family... that is how I know this baby is probably going to be a boy. I would love a sister for my DD especially since all the kids in our neighborhood are DS1 and DS2 age. DH :mad: wants a boy. I told him if the baby is a boy then he is cleaning toilets in the house from now on. I am done cleaning pee off of toilets!! He also says he wants to name this baby. He is driving me crazy :hair:
I'm hoping I don't see a nub as I know it will just get me obsessing and I was pretty sure he was a he from the nub last time and I don't want to see it! I just want to live in la la land til the end:) like regular people who don't even know about nubs lol!
Hi everyone! I didn't see a thread for Dec babies, I am due Dec 8/9th. Just got a bfp last Thursday. I wanted to join a group. We were TTC pink! :)
Congrats on you BFP b'smommy and hope you have a little girl!!
Anyone heard anything from kellbell? A little worried about her:(
I tried to pm her, but my app wouldn't let me xx
I'm wondering about kell too:(
I just told my nanny today (grandmother) she didn't think me having 3 was a good idea since she knew I was doing it for a girl. So I was nervous to tell her. She at first went ' oh no' but when I explained when it was an oops (her 2nd was too) she said well them this is your girl! It's in the stars!
I wish I could be so optimistic! I hope everyone's right, I feel like a lot of people think it is (not me... I ain't daft lol)
They're going to be sooo bummed lol!
I hope she is ok :( x
Coocoo I am getting the same reaction from family. We planned 3 kids and have been very vocal that we were done. This was so unplanned and a shock everyone says "it must be your girl". It is hard to not get your hopes up and a tiny part of you agree with them.

Had a bleed before i left the house. So worried
Can you go to the hospital or drs Mrs_Incrdible?? Just to be checked out?
I have some shocking bleeding with DS5 & 6 but they arrived safe & sound. Fingers crossed it's all ok, I know it's horrible being so worried and scared and not knowing. Thinking of you. xx

Thinking of you Ms incredible!:bighug:
Thanks ladies. Only happened once. Still a bit freaked. Epas won't be open til Monday, if they even agree to check me. Xx
Hi ladies! Back from Disney World and EXHAUSTED! We had a great time but are so worn out!!! Hope everyone is doing well!
I did lots of family watching and saw SO many all boy families but rarely saw more than 3 with the same gender! Hoping that is a good sign!
Super jealous!! Why don't I live in America :( glad you had a super time :) xx
