I am not an expert at all but it does look girly, its still possible for the nub to rise a little because of the gestation but its looking quite girly right now which is exciting, are you swaying girl? Would you like me to enter your details into the due date list at the start of this thread? :fx:Quote:

@Mom25boys - thats so great that you got to see a heartbeat, I hope it gave you a little reassurance xo it can be such a nervous time in the early weeks. Let me know when you are ready for me to enter your details into the group :) oh and as far as the nub scan, I was told 13 weeks+ is pretty good as the nub will have either risen or stayed in place by that stage.
@Wishing4Pink - hows the potty training coming along? Goodluck with your next scan, I hope everything goes well and you have a healthy little bean xo do you think you will try finding out with a nub shot or are you guys waiting to find out at birth?

Yes please add me in, sorry what details do you need again? X
@Stephaniejayne89 - fair enough, I never had the patience to wait and find out at birth, I think it would have driven me absolutely bonkers hehe :)
ok great, I just need your due date, what you were swaying for, if you are planning to find out and if you do find out, what the gender is :) I've kind of got most of the info from just us chatting but just wanted to check if you were keen to be added yet or not xo
@missiz potty training him has been quite different to his 2 big brothers. He did prompt with not wanting diapers on like they did but he won't go to the potty if he has any kind of bottoms on even underwear! If we can just get him to signal with an underwear on like his big brothers did than we can fully potty train by the time our littlest one arrives. Fingers crossed it clicks soon.
As for finding out with the nub shot, if the tech gives a good pic I'll post it and see for fun. I did finally get DH to jump on board team green. I just hope he doesn't change his mind again in 10 weeks.
Also, for those using the tapatalk app are you having problems with getting notifications of new posts added to your subscribed groups? I used to get them all of the time and then they just stopped. The notifications helped me stay a little up to date with people's posts.

Hi ladies! Wanted to introduce myself and join your group (I’m due April 25th) and swayed girl :) Having said that, I have a majorly STRONG gut feeling that my little one is a boy. I had the same feeling with my son and I was right and it’s much stronger this time around. Actually, after my 12 week ultrasound I posted the ultrasound photo thinking it would be fun to hear your guesses - I think I was secretly hoping someone would say “looks like a girl!” except almost everyone guessed boy which really triggered my GD. I’m reminding myself that though the scan was dated as 12+3, I was actually not even 12 weeks (we only ttc once so I know the conception date) and therefore, it’s too early to really tell and could still be a girl. Of course I will love and adore the little nugget more than anything regardless just as I wouldn’t trade my son for a thousand girls! But I still for sure feel some stress and grief over feeling like I may never have a daughter since this is for sure our last.
Anyways, I’m excited to see what happens and to have a community of supportive women who are going through similar exciting (and anxiety-provoking!) journeys :)
I think I have started to feel kicks. 18 weeks. Still dealing with some GD and DH has been grumpy and down about our 4 year old's super challenging behavior and having a baby and having to repeat all the stages. I am trying to start bonding with this little one but tough with such negativity in the house.

I'm just a little over 16 weeks and pretty sure I feel kicks.
@Lilyflower - welcome to the due date group! will you find out at the 20 week scan do you think? goodluck with your pregnancy, it sounds like bub will be blessed with a loving caring family regardless of what he/she ends up being :)
@gafan - its exciting you are feeling kicks now, has it helped with you starting to bond with bub? I'm sorry you are still having a tough time with GD, I can understand how the challenging 4 year old behavior could be having an effect on your mood, they really can drain you when you are already struggling with sad feelings. I hope things improve for you soon xo
@MrsEnglish - thats nice and early to be feeling kicks... I am a little nervous this time as with my last 2 pregnancies I was able to feel bub very clearly at 15 weeks and this time, I still cant be 100% certain I feel movement and I am now 17 weeks today :( I have been told I might have an anterior placenta which would dampen the movements but gee, its hard not to worry that somethings wrong when I have normally felt bub strongly by this point :(
I will be having my 18 week scan next monday which will be the morphology scan where they check the bub over etc. and because of lack of movement, I am nervous about the scan. I will be relieved when its over and everything is hopefully reported ok. Hoping to also confirm our little bean is indeed a girl too, I cant help but be nervous that somehow the Harmony test is wrong! gah, silly hormones mess with my emotions lol
Thank you @missiz! I will definitely not find out at the 20 week scan - too nervous for them to confirm it’s a boy. With my son, I really suffered for the last few months of my pregnancy with severe GD so this time, I’m trying to give myself a break despite the nagging feeling that I have.
The angle of the nub from the 12 week ultrasound is quite high so I’m determined to let myself take the next six months hoping and praying it still ends up a girl. I did read on a couple of other sites that sometimes nubs can look a certain way but still turn out different so trying to hold out hope
missiz, thanks, the kicks are wonderfully reassuring. I had been pretty nervous about whether or not this pregnancy would continue, after a loss and a couple complications. But it looks like things are going well now and I'm starting to I have some nesting feelings. I've been trying to think of names.

Hello everyone, I've been here for a few years now, but had 3 miscarriages, finally have a sticky bean, I did a light blue sway, so I am really praying for a boy, but of course a healthy baby would be great, I am 17 weeks now due date is April 14, 2019, I had a scan last week at 16 weeks, but my little one was not ready to let us know gender, but baby did us a thumbs up, which I'm thinking was a good sign, I go for Harmony test tomorrow, so praying for a healthy baby boy. Congratulations to everyone one their pregnancy, and to the ones who got the gender they wanted.
Desi :D so happy to see you're pregnant :heart: im sorry if i've missed an announcement somewhere! everything crossed for this to be your boy
Hey everyone... feeling kicks sounds great, but I'm a long way from that...
I'm 8 weeks tomorrow and I have lots of food aversions like every pregnancy. Meats and chickens, especially if I make them. Thankfully I'm not incredibly nauseous like my other pregnancies but due to my aversions, sonetimes I can't find what to eat. I've never had cravings in any PG, and this one so far none either. But it's a lot easier eating sour things like if I'm drinking water, a few squirts of lemon. Also clementines and plums and kiwis. Sort of help me keep my appetite.
I'm still nervous about MC and wont be going in until week 13 assuming everything goes well. But I'm so big and look like most people look at 5 months [emoji17]
It makes it so hard that everyone can see before im ready to tell or know things are ok.

Thank you! I did not announce, I just wanted to make sure everything was ok first. I looked for a April due date, but never seen one until today.Quote:

@DesiG - Congratulations on your sticky bean, and welcome to the Due Date group xo I am sorry to hear about the struggles you've had in the past, its great to hear you are progressing well and bub is healthy and happy! We are due date buddies hehe I am due on the 14th as well :) Goodluck with finding out what you are having, we all have our fingers crossed for you. Would you like me to enter your details into the start of this thread?
@Mom25boys - Great to hear you have safely got to the 8 weeks mark xo Yes I have struggled with food aversions and not being able to find anything I feel like eating, it makes it tricky for sure. I am sure you are enjoying not having morning sickness, it can make you feel so terrible. I am extremely grateful that mine is starting to fade now, good riddance hahahaa
Goodluck when you go in at 13 weeks, I hope it all goes well for you and bub. I feel like I got big early too, and I also felt I couldnt hide it as long as I had wanted to this time. its a hard situation to be in especially if you are feeling nervous about mc.
As for me, over the last few days I am FINALLY starting to feel more regular movements... and my gosh, its the best feeling... honestly, its so hard in the early weeks when you just have no idea whats going on inside and not knowing if everything is ok. This is my 4th pregnancy and for some reason I was really nervous this time around. Anyways, I hope you are all going well xox
Thank you! And yes that would be great! I love having a due date. Buddy :) is there any information you need from me to add me? I swayed blue and well you know my due date.Quote:

Hi ladies! Had my scan yesterday and all went well with the scan. The tech sounded very pleased with the measurements. Unfortunately LO was sitting on his/her legs and although very active the tech couldn't get a photo of the nub at all. Guess LO is helping with my team green decision. DH was very curious about the nub guesses and seems a little sad that we didn't get a nub shot. I told DH that maybe LO is trying to get him on team green. He said he's been thinking of switching over from team yellow. Fingers crossed he does. (I did attach the best photo I got but I know it's not a good one for nub guesses.)Attachment 40737

I'm sorry Mom25boys. I suffered constipation with my last pregnancy. I took colace and increased my water intake. OB said not to use it for long term and I didn't have to. I started going regularly after increasing my fiber intake. Berries, spinach, beans, and chia pudding all helped. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!Quote:

Also drinking lots can help, although I am sure you are already trying to do that xo hope things improve for you soon xoxoxQuote:

Oh my gosh isn’t pregnancy such a stressful experience! To think the most natural thing a woman does is filled with so many unknowns and so many anxiety-provoking emotions! Remember that every pregnancy is different and there is no reason to worry until there’s a reason. There can be so many factors contributing to your tummy not being as big.Quote:

Did you sway girl? If you lost weight and didn't have any previous belly you will be significantly smaller. Dont worry about the size. Each baby lays so differently and is located in different areas. Placenta is at different placements as well.Quote:

Maybe baby is just in a different position or something about your body is different from last pregnancy. FX it will be fine at the scanQuote:

Ugh. I just had my third vivid dream of the birth and bubs coming out a boy. In every dream, the birth happens so fast that no one has a chance to get there (well actually my mom was in the one last night). And each dream, I look down, see that he is a boy and feel that twinge of disappointment. Then I dream of girl clothes, pink stuffed animals and wishing I could hold a girl in my arms. It’s so hard not to feel like my subconscious knows for certain and is yelling at me “it’s a boy and you know it!!” :(
I’m team green and want to badly to just not know but I feel like my intuition keeps interfering with my experience and making me so anxious and telling me clearly that there’s no chance it’s a girl
Dont put any thought into those dreams. It using all your fears and thoughts.Quote:

So I figured out my symptoms. By all 5 kids I had nausea all day from 6 weeks until probably 14-16. This bub is different.
Now I have been feeling heavy and I guess tired. Just lazy. And not always great but unsure why. The later it gets in the evening, I get a tad of nausea in the back of my throat. I go to bed pretty early....
In middle of the night if I wake up for anything more than a quick bathroom trip, I notice I'm terribly nauseous. So I guess I have night sickness?
What is that even?
How's everyone feeling?
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
I guess for me, since it’s our last, this is the last few months potentially that I might ever get to hope for a girl. After bubs is born that’s it, so if it’s a boy, being team green now gives me a few more months to hope and dream :)Quote:

Last for me too. But I don't want to spend months hoping it's a girl if it's not. I would be devastated. Easier to just assume it's a boy and girls arent in the cards for me. I would love to be wrong. But after 5 boys I would be a fool to put all my hopes into it being a girl. Been at GD, its not cool.Quote:

My 20 week scan today showed placenta previa and SCH are resolved - healthy baby! He is still a boy, obviously, but I know I will eventually be ok with that.

@Lilyflower - yea it can definitely be stressful, I think I was quite naive in my 1st pregnancy and part way through my 2nd, until my 20 week ultrasound identified some health issues with my DS2. and then these last 2 pregnancies I have felt a kind of anxiety that I couldnt shake until I saw bub delivered, healthy and in my arms.
@Mom25boys - Yes I did sway girl, but I weighed the same when I conceived both my daughter and this pregnancy. I am hoping it was just bub laying in a different way xx and yes unfortunately you can definitely get night sickness :( which sux cause you dont even get a reprieve while sleeping. I have found if I have to get up to the kids, that sometimes I would feel seedy in the belly for no reason, so assuming its a morning sickness thing.
@gafan - yes im hoping bub was just laying more snug in my pelvis, I have been feeling my kicks very very low near my pelvic bone so that makes sense I suppose. So happy to hear things have resolved themselves with bub and that he is all healthy, that takes alot of worry off your mind I can imagine :)
So I had my scan at 18 weeks and it appears I was freaking out for no reason lol all appears to be well with bub, measuring just on 18 weeks when I was 18wks 2 days so the Dr was happy with that. They did a thorough physical check of bub and all looks normal and healthy. The only thing of concern that they found was that my placenta is low lying, apparently there is only 1.2cm gap between it and my cervix. So they said they will require another scan at around 36 weeks to just check if its moved up at all, but seeing as they have planned a c-section for me (because of accelerated labour, previous 4th degree tear and previous c-section) they said its not likely to have any negative affect on me. oh and the sonographer also gave us a potty shot to help confirm that we are indeed having a little girl!! :awe::awe:
