Happy birthday Sun!
I'm glad to hear your symptoms are typical- it's giving me hope lol.
Five, I definitely think you should do a scan if it will help ease your fears.
I can't remember- how old is everyone? I'm an oldie at 37/38 by the time this baby is born.
I agree with Temerity and you should totally get a scan soon 5babies!
Happy Birthday Sun! I missed that before!
Temerity- you fit right in with the rest of us- we are all 35+! I'll be 36 when this baby is born!

Smartson, what an awesome picture!
Well, after some thinking and negotiating I agreed for Meternity 21 test, it will be June 3. I can't believe I'll know everything in couple of weeks:omg:
Sc-so exciting! I'm supposed to have mine done around the same time
Oh, at the ultrasound we're explaining to DH all the parts (cord, arm, etc) and he says "vagina?" If it were only that simple

Lol!!! I hope he "felt" it right:)
Great pic smarston!
That's going to be an exciting week for the blood tests- mine will be drawn June 1 :) We'll all be able to bite our nails together!
Can't wait to hear your results, XX!
I seriously hope it comes back sooner than 10 business days! I'm so beside myself right now! I just want to know so we can concentrate on names! Of course purging boy clothes and shopping, IF that is the case.
I just can't imagine having a girl! I hope I'm fortunate enough...cue the doubt....sigh

XX-I'm so excited for you and hope you get to go pink shopping.
I keep telling myself that I've done all I can and it is what it is at this point. I've only thought of boy names, nurseries, etc so I don't get my hopes up

Me too. I am really excited about the boy name we have picked out. We couldn't agree on a name for both boys until I was like 8.5 months! We both will be a little sad if we don't get to use it, but we will be happy to have a girl! We do have a first name picked out, but DH isn't too set on the middle name I like. Oh well!
I just want to know already!! I need to come up with a hobby! I'm already exercising again, but I need something else! Maybe I'll start sorting through the boys' clothes to make room for the new clothes they'll get soon for their BDays. They both have summer BDays, one in June and one in August. That should occupy my time for a few days at least!

I hear you, ladies.
I just really need to know and move on with my life. We also have both names picked up.
Can't imagine having a boy, even though I had a decent sway my gut feeling, or emotions, lol, saying it is probably another girl.
And all the comments started to poured out on me, which doesn't make it better...
DH and I can't think of a boy name.. all we have are girl names. We have always been unable to decide until I'm 7 or 8 months pregnant too! Choosing a name is kind of a big deal. . They're stuck with it for the rest of their life! XX I have two friends who got their maternity test back in a week. Hopefully it's not 10 days for your sanity :)
We've had our girl name picked out since we were dating lol. Sadly, it becomes more popular every year. As for boys, I know the name I like but I'm more flexible than DH. My previous two are John and Daniel, so ideally it would be a classic name like those.
We have had a girl name we like since I was pregnant with DS1 but it is a bit too popular so I would look at other options if required. I have no idea for boy names as we have always struggled with them, I'm pretty sure we will have a boy though so we will have to come up with something.
I'm considering convincing DH that the money we saved not going to the fertility specialist can pay for the harmony test... I keep going back and forth about having it!
Just crashing in to say I sympathise ladies these weeks are sooo hard with the not knowing!!. I soooo hope you all get your DG Xxx
Ugh! I'm 12 weeks and MS seems to have peaked today...at least I hope so! I couldn't finish eating my eggs I cooked this morning and had to eat a bowl of cereal instead! I have been incredibly nauseous all day! I sure hope it goes away soon! I've only gained 3 pounds or 1.3 kilograms. With both boys I was up 6-8 pounds by 12 weeks!!
How is everyone else doing/feeling?

Ugh XX, I was really pulling for you to be through this by now! Hopefully it will magically disappear as you cross the line into the second tri. However, I have been reading that persistent sickness into the 2nd trimester may be related to liver function and that dandelion root tea is supposed to help. Has anyone heard or tried that?
I am 8.5 weeks and using Diclegis twice a day but I still get super nauseous every evening. I don't want to go to the max dose if I can avoid it, but I might have to just to see if it has an effect. No food aversions, thank goodness- everything sounds yummy and eating helps for a short period of time before the nausea just takes over. I'm feeling a lot of RL pain- abdomen pulls catch me by surprise when I stretch or even just try to sit up. And my poor other kiddos- mommy is crabby and tired and short tempered :( I try not to be short with them but it's hard when I'm fighting a rolling stomach and they are being difficult with me lol.
I can't take/drink Dandelion root tea, since I'm allergic to weeds. My nausea usually gets better in the second trimester. With DS1 by 13 weeks and with DS2 at 22 weeks. Who knows! Every pregnancy is different.
Be kind to yourself Temerity! I'm sure you're not as crabby as you think [emoji6]! I bet your kiddos just sense the changes within you and that is making them act in ways they wouldn't normally. I explained to both of my boys, ages 4.5yrs and 23mo, that mommy is growing a baby in her tummy. This makes me sleepy at times, my tummy to feel upset, and I may be grumpy because I don't feel well. I still love you both and want to play with you, but I may have to rest at times or change how I play. They were fine and have been great!
You'll find your way, but be kind to yourself. It's ok to have bad days- we all do! You're a great mom [emoji4]!

Sorry to hear you guys are feeling so sick still.
Congratulations xx on hitting the 12 week mark [emoji322][emoji323][emoji322]
I'm getting terrible insomnia. I go to bed between 10-11pm and generally wake up between 1-2am and don't fall back asleep till around 5am. On work days I'm up at 5.45am so it's killing me... I bought some benedryl today and really hope it helps!
I don't know how much weight I've put on but my tummy really popped our this week.
Hope you're feeling better soon xx and temerity and anybody else I've missed.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sunbuny- I thought my tummy had finally popped out but sadly no. I just look like I'm about to get one helluva period! At night I look more pregnant, but I think it's just bloating still. With DS2, my tummy popped by 10 weeks! I can't even wear my cute maternity jeans. I guess I should be happy that I'm still comfortably wearing my size 4 jeans.
It's funny what we wish for when pregnant- to feel sick to know things are ok and to have your belly pop to look pregnant!
Hope everyone is doing well! I hope Seabee, Eleena, 5babies, Purple, Smarston, Temerity, Twinkle (and anyone else I may have forgotten!) are all doing great!

I feel like poop! Nausea is all day, I take ginger and it helps a little. DS2 has been waking up at 5 every morning, 6 if I'm lucky. And I'm up all night tossing and turning or peeing. I've actually lost 2 pounds so far.. which is opposite of what happened with my boys. I'm super crabby too!! Like the smallest things drive me nuts. Another new symptom. I was always a happy preggo! Hopefully it all subsides in the 2nd trimester.
My nausea varies from day to day I find I have to eat every hour or so or I start feeling sick. I'm v tired all the time. Heartburn is bad too. I'm still feeling nervous about my first scan on 8th June. I will be 9 1/2 weeks then

RE: insomnia- that's one decent side effect of the Diclegis lol... I have no trouble sleeping. I'm practically a narcoleptic ;)
Thanks for the kind words, XX. I do try to remember to be gentle, both to myself and with my family. I haven't told the boys yet, so they have no clue why I'm grumpy. Our LOs are about the same age- I know my almost 5 year old will get it, but he will also tell the whole world, and I just don't know what I would say to him if things ended with no baby. He still frequently talks about our cat who passed almost a year ago. So I'm waiting until I get my NIPT results back to tell him, and that way we will hopefully also be able to tell him if it's a brother or sister.
Temerity, I'm jealous! Lol. I miss sleeping like my husband.
Couldn't exercise again today- I'm having mild cramping and don't want to over do it. It's the normal stretching/cramping that comes with pregnancy. I pushed through it with DS2 (I had to I was working as a science teacher at the time), and it progressed to Braxton Hicks. So I'm resting/taking it easy itching to workout again. I guess I'll see what tomorrow brings. I remember these growing pains as I like to call them, lasted for about a week. Sigh. [emoji4]

So what's the best way to convince your m/s suffering wife to have sex with you? Well my husband learned what not to do last night, and that's come home and immediately announce to the children that the house is disgusting (it was messy with toys but far from what I would classify as "disgusting"), complain that the dinner wife made was not what she had told you she planned to make that morning, then after dinner sit on the couch with your iPad while your wife tries to clean up. Then at bedtime snap at the children and take loud, dramatic "calming" breaths to prove how patient you are being (when you haven't even seen said children for almost 48 hours and your wife has been dealing with them solo). Lastly, the best way to guarantee that you will not be having sex for the foreseeable future is to blame your wife for all of the above because she didn't explain to you in precise detail why she is sick and how long she expects it to last, so how could a husband be expected to be sympathetic?
Yeah. I'm still a little pissed.
Tem-TMI, however, I had sex with my husband last night so he would stop bitching about not having sex. I figured I'm good for another month. Also, I think I'm having another boy because I want absolutely, nothing to do with DH (like my little boy doesn't want to share me)
So, I've been suffering from about 4pm until midnight with MS, Icks, etc. took some diglesis samples from work so we'll see if that helps...praying for this to end. This was exactly how I felt with all my boys, so I'm convinced it's another boy.

Temerity- men don't get it! My DH is understanding on the clutter. I can't clean with my cleaners because it makes me puke every time and then have horrid nausea for the rest of the day. DH does the cleaning with cleaners, and I do the rest. As for sex, we only DTD once a week because I end up having terrible cramps about three hours afterward that last until the next day! Even with using a condom! Men just lack the ability to see other points of view when they don't fully understand a situation. WE would ask clarifying questions, but THEY can't see past their preconceived notions. What gets me is when we do fill them in on all of the details, they usually say something like, "Well if you would just communicate this to me, it wouldn't be an issue". I always say in response, "How about you give me the benefit of the doubt. I'm not a lazy ass! And you are fully capable of asking questions to find out an answer"! Yeah can you tell we have gone round and round too about the clutter! It wasn't until I felt like I had to clean with cleaner and then puke five times afterward did my DH finally get that I CAN'T clean our house! I do pick up because that is ALL I can can do! Yeah DH felt bad after that, and he hasn't mentioned it since! He better not anyway!!!
Smarston- hang in there! Symptoms aren't an indicator of what you're having. I had completely different symptoms with DS2 and he was a boy. This time, my symptoms are yet again completely different from both boys. I still think this is a boy, though. Not from symptoms but because I can't imagine having anything BUT a boy [emoji4]!

Ladies, when did your symptoms begin?
I am almost 6 weeks and having a dating scan on Monday. Besides being very tired and huge boobs I have nothing else. Different from my other pregnancies where I wasn't tired at all but had ms start at 10 weeks and 1 week. Makes me worry!
Give it some time. This pregnancy MS started at 4 weeks, with DS2 at 6 weeks, and with DS1 at 8 weeks. I'm sure it will come, full force and all [emoji4]!
Oddly enough, I never got sore boobs this time! Maybe since I weaned DS2 the cycle before we conceived my boobs just didn't need to prepare for BFing? Not sure why it didn't happen this time but that is my only guess.
You're 6 weeks behind me. I'm 12 weeks 1 day today!
So happy for you! For all of us!
Are you going to find out early with a NIPT? I hope to get my results back next week from the MaterniT21 test!!

Temerity- I am so sorry that you're having a rough time with DH. They will never quite get it.
I am still feeling awful. Spotting is still coming and going. I'm so tired still. No meds are hoping but luckily I get a decent day every once in awhile. I have a cleaning lady so luckily I can let things slide around the house with the day to day stuff. DH is a really sympathetic husband too. I lucked out. I hope this doesn't last my typical 22 weeks. There is too much going on this summer! All of my boys are done with school for the summer but DD1 is still on for 2 more weeks. We are traveling a bit this summer and have camps set up etc. going to be very busy and I need a break from the sickness!! :( Can't wait to find out what we are having but that'll be awhile too. I have only had one distinct symptom with the girls and so far it's looking like a girl. But we shall see. I just want to shop!
