Due Sept/Oct/Nov 2016

It sounds like you might not even have a preference! That sounds like a bless to me!
No more baby's here but if we would have one i would love a sister for my daughter. The weirdest thing is i have slightly the same feeling as after my first Son. No other girl can be so amazing as her. So why another girl. (But my DS2 and 3 are also very cute!)
So I know everything would turn out fine. But there will be no more if its up to us.

I'm so happy and complete with our family now.
Will miss this fase in live though.

Ok but we were due date forum buddies- I think it was Dec/Jan/Feb. Congrats!!!

It's hard thinking you're done and yet I am relieved at the thought of being done after this. I was learning to be content with the two so this is a big shocker..still wrapping my head around it honestly. None of my babies are good sleepers so the first year is always pretty taxing on me.

PS- how funny that we're due the same day! Third baby and hoping for a girl right? Did you sway?

Anna3-congrats!!! So excited for you!!!

2xblue-I'm soooo sorry!!!! I'm sure I'm having my 3rd boy also. I'm too scared to find out. You were brave and will be ready to hold him when he comes.

Purple- I did the same thing with gender experts and also heard girl. My issue is we have bad internet service and after a week I thought it didn't go through so I checked my email, then resubmitted my order and forgot to put Transvaginal ultrasound then I looked at my email and my gender experts results were back. It was almost instant so I guess it was from the first submission? Hopefully, except I put no stock in the Ramzi theory either. I submitted the other one but haven't heard back. I kind of want to do 1 more through my husbands email. I can't find my boys 6 week ultrasound or I'd do that too!


I too want carbs and more junk food. Sweets please!!!!!!

I've also had 2 colds and a slight stomach virus since I've been pregnant. My kids have to stop bringing stuff home. I'm act. Worried about baby. NIPT testing Monday.
Congrats girliedreamz!!!!


Does anyone work at a daycare or know about CMV?

I question how good Gender Experts are. I was told DD's nub was a boy, although to be fair, IG and another forum gave me nearly all boy guesses too despite being flat (I got almost all girl guesses here). I got wrong Ramzi guesses from them too, and by wrong, I mean they told me girl when it was on the boy side, boy when it was on the girl side, etc. I've also submitted the same pictures (cropped differently so they weren't completely identical) and gotten conflicting answers. They are about as good as a coin toss in my view.

We were deu date buddy's lala from februari.
i just like stalking you guys.

We heard the heartbeat today and I measured 6w2d so just a day behind. The heartbeat was 124 so nice and strong.

Is morning sickness at 5 weeks exactly ridiculously early or normal?

Ugh. I started feeling strange when I was making myself an omelet. I was a hungry so I ate it anyway but now I'm regretting it. I've only had morning sickness with one of my pregnancies, my first, like 8 years ago. And that didn't begin until I was 8 weeks.

Am I a freak or anyone else felt like poo this early? :-(

Mine started at 6 weeks exactly but I read a lot of symptoms can start 5-6 weeks. Are you throwing up? Mine is just an all day nausea but I still get hungry and nothing sounds good.

I felt like crap straight from the get go..you know when everyone says you can't possibly feel bad yet. With my first pgrenancy I felt great the whole way through. My second one I felt like crap and now with this one I feel like it's the worst it's been so far. I never actually throw up, I just feel terrible. Most times nothing sounds good at all and I just force myself to eat and other times only one thing sounds good and most times I indulge myself because I feel so awful. Long answer to a short question but no 5 weeks isn't too early. I'm sorry you feel like poo!

Oh and I know this is counter intuitive but I find the emptier my stomach is the sicker I feel so I constantly eat.

Thanks lala :-)

Yes I do remember that about it, never get too hungry. Which is why I continued to make my omelet but man I wish I would've just opted for toast lol. Yes, my last pregnancy was what you are talking about.... I never actually threw up but just always felt like I was going to. With my middle son I felt fantastic the whole time.

No I haven't thrown up. I just want to. :-/ boooo

With ds2 I felt sick early on from 5wks. This time I'm still waiting to feel really bad. I'm only getting very mild nausea occasionally. I wish I could remember what it was like with ds1 better. I think it was pretty mild at this stage too.

I'm 9wks tomorrow which is when I lost my last one. I knew that was coming though as bub wasn't growing property and had a very weak fetal pole... this one was ok for size and had a good heart beat but I'm still worried!

I can't wait to start feeling some movement so I can get reassurance everything is ok!

Purple... Just got past my mark at 9 1/2 weeks when I had my missed miscarriage in October so I know how your feeling. Ksmom... I've been sick a lot earlier than with my dd and more severe. On Zofran since week 6? or I throw up... Seems to be getting a bit better now but all this extra saliva doesn't help! I did take Zofran with dd but not until week 13!

Blue bear did you away blue? So far I'm feeling the same as with both my dds. Just mild nausea.

Yep went for blue. Not sure if symptoms really tell much but my sister was more sick with her ds1 and ds2 than with her middle dd. I think it tends to vary by person... Not putting too much stock in my symptoms.

Those who have girls may be interested in my friends pregnancies, she had two girls with relatively little morning sickness and she has also recently had a boy and had terrible sickness with him, vomiting and needing to go to hospital for fluids etc. Just goes to show having more m/s with girls isn't always true!

I like the sound of this... hopefully it will be the case for me and I have a girl :)

My first was a girl and I was home free. My second was a boy and I felt like crap. This time is the 3rd time and I have felt worse (though it seems like it MAY be easing up at about 9 weeks) and for a whole host of reasons I feel like this may be a girl but who knows. They do say every pregnancy is different though.I will say my 1st and 2nd were vastly different and were also different genders.

Mine started at 5 weeks and hasn't let up at all so I'm throwing in the towel at almost 9 weeks and getting a script for Zofran. I'm down 10lbs. due to so much nausea. I don't throw up I just gag and retch all day and night at most smells and the sight of food. I have to coax myself to eat. I didn't lose this much weight with either boy, I was nauseous but still hungry. I wish I could have felt this way before getting pregnant, the LE diet would have been a breeze!! HA! I keep telling myself that now I'm down the 10 lbs. I wanted to lose all along before I got pregnant but I'm also a little worried about our little bean. And I am putting no stock whatsoever in my symptoms, I know they vary with each pregnancy and that many women get worse symptoms with each one. I'm probably one of those lucky ladies... :p

My first 3 were boys and I didn't have 5 seconds in a day where I wasn't miserably nauseated. My 4th was a girl and the only major symptom I had was a non-stop head ache, but was doomed from the word go. This time is much more like my DDs preg... which doesn't offer me the most security. I have more symptoms but none that impact my function 99% of the time. Not really speculating on gender though.

I think I was this nauseous with my first but I can't really remember. I just tried to workout this morning and had to lay down because I feel so sick. I feel like I've read equal amounts of stories where people had completely different pregnancies with each or the exact same with each gender so I don't know.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think some women feel worse with each subsequent pregnancy and some probably do have similar symptoms for each gender..there's no way to tell which you are until you experience each I guess. It's a long and difficult wait finding out though so it's kind of fun speculating:)

Crd, sorry you're so miserable. When I feel bad I need to remember it could be so much worse. I loathe throwing up so at least I'm not in that boat. Gl on feeling bettet!

I agree it is fun speculating. I wish I could at least do that! But with each of my boys being so different I feel like I can't at all cause I have nothing to go off of.

Momofthree all of your boy pregnancies were different?

On another note, is anyone showing? If I hadn't just had a scan that showed only one baby I would seriously think there were two in there. I can't believe how much tummy I already have. I'm guessing it's because I was JUST pregnant. Lol.

How old is your youngest? And yeah that'd probably do it.... it's like our uterus' just know what's up.... again. I'm just bloated a little, nothing I can't hide.... but I'm still extremely early.

Yeah all 3 were different. First, vomiting all day every day first trimester, second nothing... felt fantastic, third lots of nausea but never got sick. So... no guessing based on symptoms for me! I'm just going to assume boy lol

Just bloat here which is worse at night. Last night I looked prob close to 4 months. Haven't really had a lot of bloat until very recently. Starting to feel "full" in my lower abdomin though.

I'm so bloated I could explode. It's horrible. I've been drinking boatloads of water trying to flush out the bloat but it's awful. Annnnnnd my good old friend pregnancy constipation is back. I had such a hard time last pregnancy. I'm on fiber and a probiotic and no Bueno. Ughhh

My bloat has gone away, but I don't have a baby bump either. I just look a little chubby at most.

I know mine is partial bloat as it gets worse throughout the day and for sure after meals. This is definitely the most bloated pregnancy so far. I'm really thin and I just had a baby 15 months ago so I guess that's why. I just having a hard time hiding it. I guess people would just think I was gaining weight. Lol

I've lost almost 10 lbs too! Everything makes me nauseous, and the smells are the worst! I have to hide myself in my room while dh has his dinner, because I just can't stand the smell. My poor kids have been getting non stop takeout because mommy can't cook without gagging. I remember with my 3rd boy, I had the same issues. I ended up losing 15lbs at the beginning of my pregnancy... gained it all back and then some later, though, so it wasn't an issue. I'm pretty sure it's plenty safe at this point to lose some weight, especially if you can stand to lose a bit anyway. (I know I can!)

I've also totally got a baby bump. Granted, I'm a bit "fluffy" in the stomach area anyway after my two losses last year which I never lost the pregnancy weight from. But I'm pretty sure I couldn't hide it from anyone I know well. Luckily, I work at home and my kids are oblivious. Lol! I'm thinking if we have family over for Easter, I'm going to have no choice but to spill the beans then. Wearing really baggy clothes in the meantime. ;)

We're spilling the beans on Easter too! Sorry you're so nauseous too! What kind of work do you do from home? I'm a realtor so I work from home too (mostly).

Eek! Just heard bean's hb on doppler for the first time! So much relief!!

My monitor read in the 130s... don't know that I'd agree though. Not really a believer. Both my boys had really high heart rates, well into "girl" territory.

That is great two! I have never had the doppler used on me before 13 weeks as they always say it is hard to pick up and more stressful if you can't find it. If I had one though I would be giving it a try but not expecting to find it.

I've been hunting since close to 8 weeks, knowing it'd show eventually but hoping sooner than later to calm my fears. Thought we heard movement a few days ago but no hb. Today we finally caught it... a few times but only seconds at a time. Lord knows the spot I found bean is nice and sore though from digging in deep lol.

Thank you girliedreamz, you just summed up the last 6 weeks for me perfectly!! I too have been neglecting any cooking and grocery shopping for that matter because just the sight and smell of it makes me feel so ill. Especially garlic. I gag so much when I smell garlic. We are in the middle of buying a house and I almost passed out at the inspection because I didn't eat enough dinner or breakfast. I hide in the bedroom too at dinner time!! I'm so glad I'm not alone. :) I definitely have 10-15lbs to lose so I'm not worried about me, just little bean. I gave in yesterday and called my doctor asking for Zoran. I got my script last night and I was a new pregnant woman today. I could make lunch, do laundry, grocery shop. It wore off around 3:30pm and I felt quite nauseous again but it was great while it lasted. It didn't give me my appetite back but I was able to move and function more. TMI but I hesitate to take it daily because last pregnancy it gave me severe constipation. You can never really win when it comes to MS I've learned...ha! ;)

Laurenk1424, the HR OWT was true for my previous two pregnancies and all of my sister's 4 pregnancies. She could guess what they were before her scan because of the HR and she was right all 4 times (lucky gal that she is, she has GBGB and used Shettles method with each of them!). I kept it in mind with both of my pregnancies and it was true for me too. Once my babies dropped below 140 I knew they were boys. I know it hasn't been true for everyone but I've heard of many it has been for. ;) I do think you have to wait until your at least 10-12 weeks along though, mine were always closer to 15-20 weeks and their HR never climbed above 140, not even in labor!
