B'smommy please know that it's normal. I was a wreck with my second son. I feel awkward admitting it but I just couldn't stand the thought of having another boy and didn't think I could love another boy as much as my first but I was so wrong. I hope this is your girl but if it's not, I won't lie, the pregnancy will be tough with emotions but once baby is here it won't matter. You wouldn't trade him for all the girls in the world. I'm definately hoping this is your girl though
Hi everyone, hope everyone is geared up for the weekend. I am excited to finally let hubby in on the secret when he'some lol..
I had a question though. ..I am constantly starving. I feel like I just ate and am hungry 1/2 hr later..is this my body's way of making up for the LE diet? ? I am also peeing frequently. ..
I don't remember any symptoms with my first..

Peeing frequently is super normal especially in subsequent pregnancies! The hungry all the time is normal too...I was that way with my first.
odd - I was constantly starving very early on as well, this was one of the clues I was pregnant before I even took a test. I thought the same, I had been soo strict on LE. I actually had extreme hunger from 3/4 DPO, so I ate in the upper limits of LE during part of the 2ww. I felt the EXACT same way. :)
prayingpink - thank you so much for your kind words, I thought I had made peace with the situation, but yesterday just stirred up a bunch of emotions I didn't know I had. FX for our girls :) Is anyone planning on finding out at 16 wks or waiting until 20 wk us?
Thanks girls...that helps :-) with my son, I had 0 clues until 19 weeks when he Finally kicked so even the slightest symptom has me questioning everything. ..

Thank you everybody for sharing your thoughts. It really touches me to hear that you had and are having the same thoughts during your pregnancies.
I still feel guilty for all that thoughts during my second pregnancy. My doctor and a blood test proofed that I will have a girl. I brought the perfect pink dream and then by chance my doctor saw in the 32 week the little difference... I could only cry and hoped not to get this second son. The moment I had him in my arms I felt in love and he is the sweetest boy I could imagine. I went to **** in Prague and thought about doing IVF with PGD because I thought I can't stand another boy. But I changed my mind. A third child would make our family complet and if God thinks that it is my destiny to have three boys then I have to accept it. I know that finding this out will give me a very hard time but I know the moment I will have the baby in my arms I will love this baby no matter what gender it will be.
This time I started to tell myself that I will have another boy that I will have a positive surprise and not like last time a negative....
I am hoping for everybody here that you will get healthy babies with the dreamed gender...
(Please appologize my English...)
Hi ladies!
I got a BFP yesterday (well, not really a "big fat" one, but as strong as you can get 8 dpo I guess :wink: ) and edd should be around february 12.
Can I join in here? I am so happy for those lines, but also terrified of m/c. I have had spottings from 7 dpo these cycles we have tried and also had a little bit yesterday, but I hope I wont see so much more blood in a while. I am very easily bleeding and have had spottings all muy pregnancies, but even when I know they are mostly harmful they are terrifying. I am so hoping that this one is going to be our third baby.
Haven't read more than a few pages, but will try to catch up a bit later!
Oh yay! Congrats Marika!
Yay Marika!! So happy for you! Massive congrats! Have a big huge breakfast for yourself girl x

I know the list is getting longer but it's so sad and heart breaking to see so many losses on it!!:(
Just moved it from 1st page (if you're viewing 30 posts per page) and there's also another one that got lost in between pages.

Thanks ladies! And yes, I did enjoy my breakfast a lot! So lovely to have yoghurt and cereal again!
Agree with you flowerlily, so saddening to see so many losses.
Hi ladies, congratulations to all the new BFP's lol! Referring to the post of anxiety of what gender it is, ( castch & dreamingofwin) ) I can tell you I had it really bad, as I swayed with my 2nd son for a girl and he's a he, I had such extreme gender disappointment and thought I may have have bonding problems because I wanted him to be a girl so much, I felt terrible guilt and hated myself for feeling this way but its how I felt, and I think it's best to acknowledge and grieve for it so it don't get in the way of your bonding between you and your baby,
Once he arrived I fell in love with him, he had a heart murmur we had to stay in hospital for I felt so grateful for him, how could I change him never!
He's so sweet I was hoping that my gender dreaming of a daughter would disappear but it never! He was our last! But Myself and husband decided one more go and that's it! What will be will be!! I knew that this time my gender disappointment wouldn't be as bad if hopefully any! because I feel like I went through it already we wanted my son to have a close sibling to grow up with and have a playmate we wanted a family of our own, I still felt I was unfinished with our family so I went for it, I didn't do an extreme sway but I did follow the main Pricinples of it, skipped breakfast, hardly any snacking, lost weight, no exercise, drank coffee well only once a day. didnt on my son though! was drinking tea loads
coffee to make my body more acidic, used Replesh, drank wine, was eating rubbish unhealthy foods, Lots of pasta, lack of sleep with my baby boy, completely stressed out!!! thought that might hurt my sway, anyway I have been told a girl from my nifty/scan I will be having a gender scan on Tuesday evening, so i will be straight on here to confirm it i need to see it with my own eyes!!! alittle early at 15 wks and 2 days! I just couldn't wait anymore simply because I am showing and I want to be able to say I know what gender it is at the same time, if they can't see it I will have one at 18 wks. Anyway I hope everyone is well with there pregnancy's and I am very sorry to ladies who have had losses :((( sending lots of hugs xxx. Those's still swaying keep going you will get there i think it's good not to be too hard on yourselves when swaying because its hard to do, whatever gender you get at least you tried and that's all you can do, I think the stress of it is enough just try and let it be (better for pink) anyway as we all know, sending loads of love & pink dust to you all :ttcgirl::ballerina::giggle:: xxxxxxxxx
Hi ladies. I might pop my nose in and out of here for a bit until I'm "sure" we have a BFP. It was really faint this morning and I'm just not that confident yet. We were planning to sway in July and then had a close encounter in May and I kinda figured it would result in a pregnancy. We have a history of losses though, so I'm only cautiously hopeful.
We were planning to sway pink to add a sister for our daughter. We did not have time to get into much swaying, although my diet, schedule, weight, and other stuff was similar to when we conceived my daughter. I don't consider it a sway per se.
I truthfully don't mind which one we get. I was kinda hoping pink, but we have had a very sad week with a friend losing his battle to a nasty disease and now I just want a healthy baby and if its a boy, we plan to use his name as the middle name. So I'd be really cool with that too.
So, hi! I'm A and a mama to two boys and a girl (successful GD sway). Hopefully Ill get to see you around :) My EDD will probably be Feb 13-14th.
Hi everyone, I sadly had a miscarriage at 5 weeks but hoping to try again in 2 weeks asuuming i will ovulate. Is it too late in the game as I've been off the exercise and diet wage for about 3 weekd give or take?? How should i proceed?

Oh, I am so terribly sorry odd :-( I would probably attempt as soon as possible again, you have probably not turned blue in thus short time. And m/c sways pink, it's believed.
Massive congrats marika! Really sorry odd xxxxx

Sorry for your loss odd.
My niece was born this morning. I knew she was a girl so thought id be ok. Im not and its really effected me and I've been crying for all the wrong reasons. I think it was seeing her name, my surname with a girls names in front. I feel so much guilt towards this baby if its a beautiful boy. Very hormonal and confused today x
I'm so sorry for your loss odd. :( I wish I had good advice for you, but I'm just not sure. I have heard too that miscarriage sways pink as well.
Dreamingofwin ~ I totally feel you and your feelings are very normal. It's tough when you want something so bad and you work so hard for it and it seems to come so easy for others. I had this happen recently with a best friend and it just hurt so bad. I'm thankful to have a husband who supports my feelings and does not think I am crazy, haha.
I'm so sorry for your loss, odd :( xx

Odd my advice would be to attempt again, its only been three weeks and it does not sound like you went crazy food wise! Rosie 85 and mum of six I think tried again straight away but I guess it depends on how you feel , taking a month off might be a good thing too! Good luck with your decision and sorry you had to go through this!
Awwwwhhhh dreaming im sorry that hit you sooo hard! I have been there too , you know you will love that little niece to bits but you just want your own little girl!! I too cried when I found out my bestie was having a girl after her son and I had 2 DS it seemed so unfair! I totally dote on her daughter now and say we will have to share her if I don't get my own!! Hugs to you!! It doesn't help all those pregnancy hormones!!
B s mummy you are very lucky your DS is soooo supportive mine thought I was mad!! Xxxx

Aw, dreaming! Hugs! I have SO many nieces (5 in total) and every single one was hard on me. THEY had trouble having boys, while I couldn't seem to make a girl to save my life. I've been there, and I really hope this one is your DD.
Rosie, odd and Mumofsix, I can't wait to see you guys back on here! I sincerely hope the next bean you catch is sticky :)
I have my NT scan on Monday and I think DH's going to stay home and watch the kids instead of going with me. I'm trying not to let it effect me, since I know he's still sore about having a third kid, and I'll be glad that they aren't there if something is wrong, but I was thinking this would be a good way to tell the kids about their little sister. I guess I can take the ultrasound pictures and DVD home and show them (if everything's fine, that is!) and they can know that way, but it does feel a bit lonely being the only woman in the waiting room without her SO there. I guess I'm hoping he changes his mind over the weekend.
Is anyone else thinking about baby shower already? Maybe I'm just being cheap, but I rarely buy anything but the odd onesie or "omigod, too cute to leave on the rack" outfit before the baby shower. I am such a ridiculous hoarder about my baby stuff, I kept everything gender neutral from the boys, so I don't really need anything but clothes, which is what everyone loves to buy anyway!
I want to do a rainbow theme, and have a tie-dye baby shower where everyone brings a blank onesie, romper, dress or receiving blanket to dye. Yeah, I'm a hippie <3
Oh no, sorry to hear of your loss odd! Hope to see you back here sometime soon. I had an early loss around 5 weeks the cycle before I had my son. Good luck!
So, I had my dating scan today and everything with baby is fine. I'm 11 weeks 4 days, so I was spot on when I thought I ovulated. I thought it was either 31st of March or 1st of April and went with the second one which gave me a due date on the 22nd of December but the scan said 21st, so only a day difference there.
Here's the baby::D

I won't bother posting it in the u/s section as there's nothing to guess at this gestation.
The baby was moving so fast she could hardly find it's heart beat, but in the end she even managed to capture the little performance that the baby did, it flipped!!:o
I can bet that this is another boy! Even my other two never moved like this!:eek:
They saw blood in my urine sample and it was sent to the lab to be checked if there's infection, I won't hear from them until earliest Monday afternoon as it's weekend:(. The funny thing is that I'm not feeling any discomfort passing urine. So, if there's nothing, I won't be hearing from them.
Good luck everyone with the upcoming scans! It's such a joy seeing a little someone inside you growing! I had a little cry today myself, although I heard the baby's HB before (when I fainted), but seeing it was magical!:)
Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk
Aww, so cute! And it is so magical hearing the heartbeat! And just so you know, my DD2 was the most active of all my babies and my DS2 was the least and I worried about him all the time not moving!
I always heard anyway, though in the old wives tales that supposedly girls are more active? IDK for sure, though. So happy for you!

I'm sooo sorry for your loss odd. I wish I had more words of wisdom but I know nothing anyone can say can make it hurt less. I just hope you feel comforted knowing there are so many of us supporting you and routing you on.
Dreaming we have all been there. I have the sweetest niece I could ever imagine and anytime I see her I can't help but have overwhelming jealousy. They wanted a boy so badly when he was born and I know my brother is jealous that I have 2 ds. So I the feeling is totally mutual and we of course adore the children we have but I just hope I can experience having a daughter and I hope my brother can have the next boy in the family.
It's funny because for the longest time I was confident that I am having a girl and now I'm thinking there's just no way. I have all girl guesses on my nt scane but I was only 12 weeks and idk to me it looks like it could turn out to be a boy. And to imagine myself with a daughter is almost impossible as I have never even really been around girl babies other than my 1 yr old niece. We I think of not having a daughter I feel heart broken but then look at my boys and realize that I WILL be ok with it once I know. I had awful GD with my second son and felt such guilt once he was born. I think it's just driving my insane not knowing.
Flower lily it is early to guess but I know it's fun to find out what ppl think regardless so I'll lean pink for the time being. :) good luck
I was involved in a road accident yesterday. I was taken to hospital in an ambulance and checked over. I have to go back to Tue to check everything is ok with baby. It will be a long few days x
Oh no dreamingofwin, how terrifying!
Hope you and baby are ok. Was there anyone else involved?
Why the long wait to check if baby is alright? Sorry if stupid question, but they should have checked it yesterday!

Lillith hope you can convince DH to change his mind, the scans are so special and icing on the cake yours is a girl!! You are soooo lucky!! Hope you treat yourself to some pink clothes after xxx

oh no dreaming, hope baby is ok! that is a long wait to confirm baby is ok. hang in there.
flowerlily, aw, so nice to see the pics of baby and seeing baby move around. hearing the heartbeat is such a relief.
i went in for my 8 week last week and say just a bean...but also saw the heart flicker and everything checked out fine. a sigh of relief but still have not told my close friends yet, lol. a long way to go still to find out pink or blue.
Dreaming! I hope you and baby are ok! Can't believe they are making you wait! Hugs and positive thoughts.
Hello everyone! I'd love to join in.... Just got my bfp (x5, lol, and 10 days before my expected AF). I believe I will be due Feb 20. So excited!

Angie
OMG Dreaming!! Are you ok? I can't believe they haven't scanned you at hospital already!!??! 😠
Congrats again Angie!
Omg Dreaming, how scary. I hope all is fine with baby.
Congrats Angielorna!!! Gotta go catch up on the other threads!
Thanks ladies
Yes its a long wait. I have not had any bleeding so I have to wait for the next available non emergency which on Tue :(
I was not happy as the A&E doc didnt even want to refer me to to gyne/early pg unit. I ended up having an argument with him which resulted in my crying and practically begging him. He was horrible. No empathy at all.
Once I was referred up there they were so so mad at how I was treated ad said its standard after an RTC to be scanned. I may complain about him x
Absolutely file a complaint! I'm relieved to hear no bleeding.... Hope the weekend goes quickly for you! Take care of yourself!
Angie
I'd make a complaint too. That's not good enough! 😠
