Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond #2

Happypixi - Wow!! Congrats! Now I'm curious about your nub that you thought was boy! Do you have a pic? Would love to see. :) Enjoy every minute getting ready for little girl!

Ladybugs - Happy birthday (belated)! So sorry your appt. didn't go as you'd hoped. You honestly seem to be handling it very well...and that's the best you can do for your little girl!

Charlee - Wow, only a month or so!! Fx baby stay put until then! Glad you're well. :)

Bunny and Pumpkin - Yay for super dark lines! Will pray those little babies are growing away in there!

Everyone else - Hi!

AFM - Doing fine. Had some back pain for a couple of weeks, but seems to have improved the last couple days. Definitely feeling more movement now, but still think he's a little quieter than my others were. Not worried, though. Crazy to be over halfway there! Emotionally, I am mostly ok, but still have moments of "I cannot believe out of 4 babies, not one is a girl." Sad. But, I truly believe God's promise...honestly seeing more rainbows than ever. I think He is giving me this extra little gift before he brings her to us...and I'm ok with that. Sometimes, hearing about and seeing other people's big families helps SO much...other people do it, too! My grandpa that just passed away had 5 kids...and there is so much love and laughter and fun when everyone is together. I can totally picture it in my future! Excited for that. :)

I did it at work myself so havent got a pic, I still swear it was a boy nub! LOL! Im glad i saw it though as it brought me down to earth and made me ready to accept either result at the end of the day, as on my 12 week scan I though girl when watching the screen. I shall no longer consider myself a nub expert, I retire!

But, but... your line is better than mine! I hope you get a ticker soon so we can stalk you too! :oops: x

Thanks bunny!! I had good lines with my last pregnancy and it still ended in a miscarriage. Besides, I don't see a difference in your lines and mine ;). Are you having your first scan tomorrow?

I am sooo close to my first scan and again I am driving myself crazy. I keep searching the net for what I should see and just can't help but think of my early scans with my last two pregnancies. We could already tell at that early stage how it would end :(.

Lol happy pixi you give me hope with my nub lol, some people think girl (of my old friends from ig not on here), some boy, some think it is a leg ah lol guess sometimes you just never know! The other day I randomly came across a pic of a classic boy nub that turned out to have been a girl!

Still assuming we are having a boy but not counting myself out quite yet! Congrats bunny and pumpkin

No, just a trip to the doctor to register the pregnancy (again!). I'm going to ask if I qualify for extra scans or not. Would be nice if they wanted to send me to the hospital that same day, but not very likely. Would also be a shame because DH would want to come and he'd be at work.

Likely not the same thing you're after, but stumbled across this site - shows what your baby should be doing to the day: http://pregnancy.familyeducation.com/first-trimester

How far along are you?

Ah, just stumbled across this one too, Pumpkin

Thanks for the link bunny! I am exactly 5weeks today, will be 5w2d by the time of my first scan. I am incredibly nervous :(.

If you have the patience (and I know you do because you didn't POAS :), than wait with your scan at least until 7weeks. That's what I would recommend.

Things work quite differently in the UK than they do in Germany. In Germany you go to see your gyn and usually see them as well as the midwife all through your pregnancy. My gyn was very keen on doing scans in the beginning to confirm pregnancy, location, etc.

In the UK you usually register your pregnancy with your GP, but don't have your 1st appointment with the MW until around 8 weeks. The scan is usually done at the hospital at 12 weeks, my GP's surgery didn't even have the facility to scan.

Hopefully your GP will send your for an early reassurance scan, Bunny, but if not maybe a private early scan would be an option for you? We had an additional scan with Baby Bond with DS1 and found them very good.
