Purple... Little bit longer than 2 weeks for me. I get my blood drawn when I am 10+2 per doctors official notes but baby today says I will be 10+4... Then I have to wait 7-10 days...blood draw is September 12th.
I went back and looked at Brandles 8 week scan (she has had similar symptoms to me and baby2016) and our babies look like they are even in the same place wtf lol.. Top of the amniotic sac near what appears to be top of the uterus.. Ramzi would probably say we are having the same gender... :nails::nails:
My 6 wk scan had baby almost the same place as yours. Very slightly more to the left and mine is a boy. What gender are you trying for again? :)Quote:

My Dr rang me tonight with my NT results and said all normal. I said they already told me that when I rang and apparently they shouldn't have as the blood result part wasn't in at that point! Lucky they were still normal! I don't think she was impressed with reception doing that.
Yes purple! If it goes perfect I will know the 19th! We are so close to finding out purple!!
Jen I swayed for a boy...my last baby and I've wanted a son since I first found out I was going to be a mother... So stakes are high for me...
Aww lovely to see bubs burk. Im so envious. I had my booking yesterday (10w) and my scan should be arranged for 13w. i wont see the midwife very much at all. I think she said 16w, 24w and 32! That's it. Not helping my anxiety.
Jen I could have written what you wrote. I really have never felt this bad. I'm dehydrated alot too as struggling to drink much and suffering the enevitable effects at the other end. Its really bothering my dh seeing me like this and hes pretty much said this wil be the last. So I'm hoping it's my boy even more. He wants the snip now. I think we both counted on me sailing through as i did with the others. I didnt even have symptoms with them at all! I used to forget I was pregnant. Now it's all I can think about!
Purple I'm same as you. There's a place that does 15w but all others are 16w so I'm not sure if they have more opposites. They state it's reliable as the 16w but then they would.
Good luck to all getting bloods done soon, got everything crossed. I'm jelous but can't justify the cost this time round. Burk I have no idea where mine is positioned It will be too late for ramzi at my scan. But my last daughters scan was sent to gender experts and they said boy so I'm a bit wary of ramzi. It will be very interesting to see what we all have given some of us are feeling ok and some are the other end of the scale. Atomic said any differences between sexes wouldn't be apparent till week 10. I'm exactly 10w so hoping I get some signs. It's been hard not to obsess that all the sickness, nausea and complete exhaustion is a polar opposite of all my pregnancies as I don't want to build false hope.
Hope everyone is doing as ok as can be. I can't wait to see the back of tri1 xxxx
Baby2016 are you in the UK or Australia? My 1st appointment I will be about 14wks based on last scan and won't see a midwife until after 20wks. I think it gets more frequently after 32wks... not much happens early on so I'm not too worried.
The place I'm looking at for the scan has 3 locations in different states and the other 2 locations they say they will do gender from 14wk but my city is 15wks. Last time with DS2 the earliest everywhere was 16wks but I reckon I could have gone earlier with him as he was very clearly a boy! I think it also helps if you aren't too padded around the middle as they can get a clearer view.
I'm in the uk. I know they've reduced the times seen recently for 2nd time or more mums. I think I'm worried as a family member suffered a still birth at 39+5 so I'm on edge. I'm lucky I can always get checked as got friends in the field but don't want to become a pain. I'm guessing they are the 13w and 20w scans as a kind of check.
Haha i better wait then. My middle is erm rather padded sadly. I keep umming and ahhing about the blood test but I think since I'm 10+2 now and it could be done from 9w I should just wait. By time they send kit out etc I'm going to be 12w+. I'm so impatient. I don't know if it's worth me doing the bloods as last time I was told girl I didn't beleive it and had the gender scan anyway! We had two incomes back then though. I wonder if the technology has improved slightly on the scanners? Hence them saying 14/15 weeks xxx
Morning ladies! I have my mw booking in appt today, feeling nervous! Had my first gender dream last night too, I was at my scan and had said I didn't want to officially know but asked them to show me shots of the goods and I couldn't see any boy parts. The dream was certainly suggestive of pink... I'm only looking at boy named at the moment and I think I feel fairly at ease with having another boy surprisingly (for the time being!). My friend is threatening to book me in for a private gender scan when I hit 16 weeks though lmao!!
I'm still feeling pretty rough, the weight gain is just the worst though! I'm nearly 1stone heavier than my lowest weight only a few months ago from starting the le diet. I just feel so fat already. I don't think I've got to the point of being officially overweight just yet at 9st 11lb and 5'6" though. It's all self inflicted due to the nausea I'm eating ALL day long!x
Oh I miss read it and didn't realise you didn't get more appointments after 32wks! Thats crazy as that normally when they notice any issues. With my first they picked up the pre eclampsia after 32wks because my BP went up. Also babies are often still breach at that point. Are you sure the don't start going fortnightly after 32wks?
The ultrasound technology may have improved as it was over 5 years since I had DS2s gender scan! I do have some padding so no perfect flat belly here but I guess it depends how much.
I'm so happy it's the weekend here (well Friday night).
hope it went ok 3!! I know what you mean about the nausea, I feel sick if I eat, but its worse if I don't so I'm snacking/lite meals all day!! plus I cant stomach my usual diet pop at all so I'm drinking a lot of straight juice and milk! I don't know how I will go this pregnancy. I gained 3 stone with my first, 5 stone with my 2nd, and 2 stone with my third although it should be said I have never been this heavy in my life ever, let alone pregnant. I'm hoping I don't gain or even loose a little........but known my luck. With my 2nd I was in maternity clothes at 10 weeks, I was huge. I started at a low BMI and ate everything in sight. I had to tell everyone as work collegues guessed at about 9 weeks! With my last I told nobody until 19 weeks. I was only just showing. What have others experienced in previous pregnancies??
sorry purple I think I will be seen more often after 32 weeks upto my section. My last baby was breach the day I went in for my section at 39w and a few days. I just meant it doesn't seem much to be seen early on. although your right, not much happens, I think I just like the reassurance of having the midwife measure and check the heartrate. I'm not usually a worrier but I feel slightly uneasy this time round. I think that's down to feeling so rotten. My midwife said its a good sign feeling so bad, not sure how they figure that out. I am either loosing the plot or I felt some movement yesterday when I was laid on my belly (I'm still sleeping on my front for now) just bubbly but I'm 99% sure that's what it was. I think I will relax when I can feel movement and after my scan. As at this moment, I have had no bloods, scans nothing done, apart from my own HPT. Its so different to previous times when ive had scans and bloods done regularly which provided some assurance at least.
have a good weekend everyone. my kids go back to school on Monday after a long 6.5 weeks off. I cant wait haha xxxx

I am big this pregnancy. At 11 weeks I'm in maternity clothes and everyone knows I am pregnant. I started showing very early. I get asked constantly if I'm having twins. Which makes me feel like a cow because I'm only having one lol. I was small to begin with so I just blaming my showing so early on the fact that I am little and this is my 4th baby lol

You look great Jen! I refuse to even show my stomach Right now... I am 30 pounds heavier at this time then I've ever been my whole life. I feel disgusting. I had to take a picture the other day of my belly and i want to think I am showing early since it's my 4th and the pregnancy is close to my last but pretty sure none of its baby and all of it is gross fat. I'm not loving my body right now :(
Aw cute bump Jenren! I have a small bump already at 10 weeks, comparable to my first bump at 20weeks (I was very small in my previous Pregnancies in 1st and 2nd trimesters).x
So much cramping :(
Cute baby bump Jen. I wish i looked like you! I'm with you burk. He has done no favours. I just look fat. And after 3 sections my tummy is a mess. It also seems I have no muscle tone at all :( I just keep telling myself I will sort it after delivery...
I'm not getting cramping just achey stretching. Hope it passes. I found another food saviour today too. Tinned rice pudding. Will do my weight gain no good but settles my tummy really well and eases nausea for hours xxxx
i am so happy you found something that soothes your stomach baby!!
Gorgeous bump Jen
Thanks ladies. I had an appt with a new midwife as I'm still trying to figure out who I want to deliver with. She was pretty good. Seemed on par with what I want out of my delivery and she did an ultrasound just so I could see the baby. She has an old machine not used for diagnostic purposes so it doesn't measure baby or hb but I got to see my little boy swimming around arms and legs and cute as can be :)

Baby I'm glad you found something that settles your nausea. I'm just hoping mine departs soon. I don't think I've ever seen tinned rice pudding.

Ive been feeling bub knock around in my belly today, such a nice feeling 😁
Aww that's lovely ciness. Apart from when they keep you awake playing footy ball all night. Tinned rice pudding is lovely I didn't realise it wasent availible in the US. I'm sure you could make some which is alot nicer! But alot of effort. X
I'm having a small meltdown as all the bubbly feeling are on my left hand side (if I look down) which is a ramzi theory girl :(
I found the heartbeat smack bang in the middle, what does that mean for gender??? And I've gone from having lovely skin to a full on acne outbreak, they're all under the skin across my forehead and also round my neck. I'm so fat it's depressing. Oh and someone at work last night said that going off food means girl and eating means boy - I'm defo eating :/
I thought Ramzi was debunked though baby???x
Baby, Angela was on my right side...i had ovulated from my right ovary and she implanted on my right...she is all girl. Ramzi may be just as lucky as a 50/50 guess...this baby is also on the right side. but i am fairly certain i ovulated from my left...does that make a difference? time will tell.
Aww 3. Honest your not alone. I'm humongous. I'm eating alot too but I've also gone off some foods (chocolate, meat, sweets, cake) so not sure where I am. Atomic did say ramzi is debunked but then others swear on it.
Thanks Burk. I know it was wrong with my last so that might be a good sign! I have to say the gender nerves are really kicking in now. It feels more real after my booking. I haven't tried to find heartbeats. With my thick padding it may prove hard lol xx
and just like that i get triggered too. had a medium say this baby is a girl...wouldnt be so threatening to me except she knew some things that i have not told anyone yet about this pregnancy...has me afraid. this was a few days ago and i was getting pretty well over it but then someone posted on facebook some article about the bond between a mother and her son..and now big fat tears are rolling down my cheeks. I am just so sad. I know i'll have my answer in a few weeks and then there will be no going back...my dream will live or it will die...its just so heartbreaking to picture the latter...
I know the feeling burakoam, if I had a pound for everytime someone quotes about daughters being the best friend you'll ever have and how a son is your son until he finds a wife. Youre right though, only time will tell x
I was told DS2 was a girl so I don't think they can really tell.Quote:

I'm feeling a bit the same about finding out if I get my dream come true or not. I partly don't want to find out so I can live with hope a while longer but I have to find out at some point and its better to have some time to get used to it.
Dido these feelings!! [emoji16]Quote:

Especially as every one knows we want a boy so bad. I can't really go under the guise of "it's what we wanted" I really want to wait till we know gender before telling anyone but that may prove physically impossible. I need time to accept it without the stupidity of peoples naive comments.
I'm not telling anyone but close friends that we are having another boy. Not even family. I hated the comments I got while pregnant with ds3 and I don't want those negative comments associated with my pregnancy. People are very thoughtless and rude when it comes to the things they carelessly sayQuote:

That's a good idea jenren. I might wait till after delivery. Say we haven't found out, regardless of the sex. They don't think. I remebervseveraly family members visit me in hospital and first words as I was holding newborn dd3 were "oh well you can always try again" grrrrr.....
Are you at peace with your 4th boy? Has it sunk in? I recall it taking a while with my dd3. In fact I didn't believe the bloods so had a scan too. I think it was then I realised and accepted it pretty quickly. After a while I couldn't imagine anything else xxx
Yeah I'm at peace with another boy. I didn't have disappointment over another boy I just have a feeling of sadness over never having a girl. Dh and I will likely foster to adopt a girl later in life. For now we will have our boys and ignore people's stupid commentsQuote:

We told some more family today and my FIL is still going on about wanting a granddaughter but I ignored him. My neice really wants a girl cousin but she is 11 and only has boy cousins so I understand... I told her I didn't have any control over it though.
My boys both want a little brother but I'm sure they will be ok either way.
I'm not sure what would be worse.. knowing it's a boy and pretending not to know and getting all the 'are you hoping it's a girl?' questions or just telling people it's another boy and getting stupid comments like 'well you can try again'. I don't think you can win!
This is why I'm getting the NIPT and I'll announce with the gender at the same time to try an avoid hurtful comments. HugsQuote:

That's fantastic jen. Im glad you have a plan. Adopting in the UK is quite difficult. I know as we looked into it alot before having any children. The hoops they make you jump through and the fact due to all the meeting and stuff you don't get the baby untill 9m + put us off a little. However if it meant we get out dream we would revist as an option. I might be more temped to try pgd first.
I agree purple I don't think you can win. If I knew it was a girl and people were banging on about "this must be your boy" etc I think I'd snap!
Yeah that's a good plan magical.
I wish everyone could get what they want but I know the world doesn't work like that xxx
I spoke to my dad on the phone after my booking in appt and said we should get a scan date soon to which he replied "oh, you'll get to find out if this ones a girl then?" Gah! No we won't, it's too early, but talk about putting the pressure on. And he won't hide his disappointment when it's ANOTHER boy either :/ I'd like to leave it as a surprise at birth but I doubt hubby will let that happen, he always wants to find out during pregnancy. My eldest son wants a sister but my youngest wants a brother; I'm sure this will be my fourth boy though, I don't think there's really many discernible differences between this pregnancy and my others, other than gaining weight and a bump VERY early on, I'm usually a very late "show-er" x
Hey everyone!!! Looks like I've only been able to come on here once a week... Sorry, things have been so crazy busy around here. I tried to read up on all the posts, but might be nearly impossible to comment back on each one. But please know I am thinking about you all and I hope as more genders start rolling in we get the news we all want to here.
Jen, I feel the same as you about telling everyone the gender... I already have a little girl and 3 boys... and everyone knows how much I would like my daughter to have a sister... I just have a weird feeling this is a boy and I am not looking forward to hearing all the comments and apologies.
I am dying to find out what I am having and my Dr isn't having me come for my m21 test until 9/19. I will be 11+2 then and I just can't wait that long. lol!! So in the meantime, just for fun I pulled out this handy-not-so-handy Chinese gender chart that a Chinese OB that I once worked for gave me. Looking back... it has been true for ALL my children, even one of my miscarriages that we know was a boy... and says I am having another boy. PLEASE someone debunk this theory! lol!!!
Now, before any of you go and do this, just make sure to use the month of conception and know that it's not necessarily your LMP. For example, I always assumed my daughter was conceived in August... but looking back on the dates it actually says September 1st - 7th... making her a girl on the chart and not a boy if I had conceived in August. I checked with friends and theirs all seem to be right for the most part and a couple friends were off a couple kids.
Attachment 32914
Brandles- can't say wether it's right for my first cause it starts at 18 and I got pregnant with her at 16 but I can tell you for my two others if that chart was right they should have been males. However it depends on how you read the chart... I always heard you are supposed to use the age you are going to be that year... So even if you are 26 as an example, if you have a birthday that year where you would turn 27 then you go by 27 as the age of conception... So if I do that then yeah it says they Should be girls. Thing is that it never specifically wth any of these charts says "add a year" and it's sort of silly
What's funny is in this case wether I use the chart as is or add a year it says this baby should be a boy... Guess we will find out
