Pbn3- I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks before my DS2 but didn't know until 12 weeks. I too tested at 12 weeks with my DS2 and panicked. Luckily I had an appointment that day. My OB was so sweet and had a Beta drawn. I can't remember what it was but it was higher than it needed to be despite the way the HPT looked.
I'm sure all is well with your sweet baby! I understand your worry and how it's hard to accept that things might work out afterall. Don't lose hope- because sometimes that is all we are left with, and your sweet baby needs to know that everything WILL be ok [emoji4](even if mama has to fake it until she makes it) [emoji8]❤️

Pbn-that's how my curved frer looked! Didn't know if the old style would be any different, but glad you researched-I hadn't heard of the hook effect, but good to know!!
Kat-yay!! We want to know too!!
I was talking to a close friend yesterday who did the MaterniT21 test at the same place I go to. She said she got the results back pretty fast yay! Last night I kept myself awake with thoughts of how I'll feel when I find out either way. Once I know, it's so final! I also couldn't stop analyzing my sway & wondering if I did enough! I've seen it work for many here, but think I'll believe it if it works for me!
Since you have an in house genetics maybe they don't have to send it off? I can't wait to hear!
Myself on the other hand am an emotional mess today! For one I couldn't find anything to wear to church today. Which is frustrating when I put on 20 outfits and still feel like a whale. I just lost 50lbs over the last two years and now I'm just going to put it back on! then I get to church and see all these skinny little teens with their butts hanging out of their dresses and jeans so tight it looks like an extra layer of skin. Do I really want a daughter to have to worry about men looking at her all the time? To have to fight with on wearing modest clothes? [emoji24][emoji24] I can't handle today and I'm afraid I'm going to be like this until I find out what I'm having I am honestly more scared than excited to find out.
4 days till next appointment
9 days for a nub shot
20 days till gender scan. [emoji37]

Ash-you may be right! I just had my 1st appt on Friday & the bloodwork results were posted last night! They have "mychart" where they e-mails results, appt reminders etc. Maybe I'll find out quickly!!! I know how you feel!! I feel like my stomach is already bloated at 8 weeks & I have to go to a pool party on Tues [emoji15]I feel your worries, but your daughter will be wonderful just like you! Wow, your next appts are so soon! Yay for a nub shot!!!! Can't wait to hear!!
Hang in there Ash, boy or girl raising and grooming kids is a tough job plus ur girl will have her brothers looking out for her so u wouldn't have to worry that much

how many weeks will you be at your gender scan ash? do you think your more emotional this pregnancy? i know all pregnancies are emotional but i have to say i was worse with my girls..
if you hear pink there is no doubt that with 4 big brothers your little girl will be very very well protected :)
good luck to everyone waiting on their blood results :) xx
And i hear u on the other topic. I am absolutely not looking forward to big belly, swollen feet, back aches and the weight gain. After my dd3 i couldnt really get my belly toned up so now it will be even worse 🙁 but we will worry about this after birth, maybe we can start a weight loss track and motivate group

Well ladies i saw a gender dream and now i am sure i will have a girl as my gender dreams always turn out to be opposites ☹
🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016 🤰due 2018
have you tried a post partum belly binder with any of yours bluebooties? i tried one for the first time last time with #6 as the afterpains with #5 were so so horrific (days and days of toe-curling agony) i was wiling to do ANYTHING to avoid a repeat!!
i didnt get one specifically for after birth i just got a much cheaper post-surgery abdominal binder and had basically no afterpains :D win!! and i honestly couldnt believe how much flatter my stomach was just from wearing this simple compression wrap, it really really helped with getting it to go down and it also helped me not get a bad back which i always get after delivery. i really feel it helped my "belly recovery" and also the afterpains issue!! xx
No i didnt 4blue2pink but i had heard of it but i wasnt aware it helped with toning. I will look it buying one. Do u have a brand or name for urs for reference
🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016 🤰due 2018
I just looked into them and i like it. I will definitely buy one this time. Thanks 4blue2pink !!
🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016 🤰due 2018
mine is called Talarmade, its grey with blue edges, one thing i will say is that the material is quite scratchy which isnt great when your wearing it 23 hours a day! i didnt know if it would be worth it so i didnt want to fork out the extra ££ on the standard bellybandit but seen as i had such good results especially with the dreaded afterpains i am going to get one this time.
from what i can gather for best results the sooner it goes on after delivery the better (i had to lay flat on my back on my bed and cinch it round myself that first time it really wasnt pretty!!) and then it stays on all the time including while you sleep, only comes off for when you bath/shower. they can be pricey but i really think they are worth it xx
**squeem wraps are very very popular in US but we cant get them here in UK
Yes i looked into and am planning to buy the squeem. The question is fo i get my size now or my size at end of pregnancy ? I can do a medium now but am thinking it might not fit after delivery
🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016 🤰due 2018
[emoji56][emoji23] Lola they are little angels!!
4blue2pink I do feel more emotional this time. Dh walked in when I was getting ready and I said I can't right now. Just don't talk to me I'm going to bust out crying! And that is something I've been dreading is the after pains since they get worse after each baby [emoji17]. Ah the more I read your meaning pains from a cut? The cramps are horrific also!! I'll have to look into some of those wraps.
Blue I got really into beachbody programs and was the fittest I've ever been and now.... [emoji53] I'm dreading doing it all over again but I've lost it 4 times I know I can do it again. And I'm in shock your talking dreams. I have had one dream it's a boy and just last night had a dream I had a baby girl but I couldn't see her. Like dreams when you want to scream but can't. She was in the nursery at the hospital and I just could get to the nursery to see her!

im not going to lie it is a real squeeze putting it on that first time! you normally cant get it on stood up so have to lie down to do it, i did but the next morning i took it off to shower and could get it back on fine while standing, my stomach had gone down that much in just over 12 hours i really couldnt believe it!
do squeem have a sizing guide? id have a google! :) xx
Yes thats what i have been reading, i am going to get a medium i think and am going to hunt for a cheaper preowned one so that even if i need to get a large later on i can resell the medium
🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016 🤰due 2018
no im meaning the cramps ash horrendous arent they!! ive never had a c-section sorry if it read like thats what i ment :) defo look into the wraps i was crippled with after pains with #5 no wrap then with #6 i wore a wrap and virtually no cramps!! so so worth it imo!!
the emotions are a real rollercoaster arent they cant imagine what its like for our dh's! my brain seems to have completely fallen out this time too its actually embarrassing! i ordered a take away for us the other week and then the food didnt arrive for ages and we were like where is it?? turns out id ordered it for the next day.. :-/ xx
sounds like a good plan bluebooties :) xx
Haha 4blue2pink that is hilarious! Sounds like something I'd do! I'll look into a wrap squeem you say?

Lol 4blue2pink ...
🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016 🤰due 2018
So after some research I think I'm going to get a cheapie Danskin wrap from Walmart and then maybe a week postpartum so I can get the measurement right get a squeem
[emoji170](07) [emoji170](09) [emoji170](14)[emoji170](15) 🤰 and dreaming [emoji177](18)
I have something similar to the bellybandit and while I did wear it, I felt like I couldn't breathe haha. I didn't wear it all day long though. I usually wore tight spanx under my clothes at work [emoji4]
Cute photo naci!
I love everybody's name suggestions. We have a boy name ready from being Team Green with DD, Alec Scott. Alec because it's a traditional Scottish Celtic name and my husband's family ancestry is from Scotland. Plus DH's grandfather is Allan and DH's great a grandfather is Alexander, so a bit of a homage to them. Scott because the tradition in his side is the son take's the father's first name as a middle name.
If this one is a girl....we have nothing. I was like 8cm dilated before we agreed/chose a girl name the first time. Keeley because it's a traditional Scottish Celtic name. (Seeing the massive family tradition!)
So if I don't have a son his Scottish heritage finishes with my husband - his family have so much pressure on us!
I love Alec as a name dancing!! Makes it all the more special when it has meaning behind it! I've always had a girl name picked since I read a trilogy back in my early teens. It's a strong female character who overcomes hardship, abuse and tragedy to become a ruler in her own right and sees her son become overall ruler. Her name was Mara Anni in the books but I've always liked Mara Rose (Rose is a short version of my name and my mums middle name) or Mara Mairead (which is the gaelic version of my mothers and my husbands nans name) I like the second one best I think :) I've always thought it would be an awesome story to tell her when she's old enough how her name came about and have her read the books herself (which I've held onto all these years being a favourite) Needless to say I had two boys so didn't get to use it 😂😂

Loving the names you people are going to give your baby.
Ash what is danskin wrap?
Sent from my ALE-L21 using Tapatalk
Sumbal danskin is just a Walmart brand and it seems to wrap just like the belly bandit with Velcro

Pbn/Dancing - love your names!!
Pbn - did you have your appt??
Pbn & Dancing-beautiful names!
Dancing-DS1's middle name is Scott after DH!
Our girl name has always been Sophia for years! I think I mentioned this over in the 2WW group, but DH's brother & wife are expecting their first baby any day now & stealing our name ugh & we have the same last name!!!! We still plan on stealing it back though ;) We may need some ideas on boy names though! It will be another "S" name and right now we're agreeing on Samson (Sam).
Names are so hard! We're running out of girl names. We have a Sophia, Claire and Lucille (Lucy). Now we're stuck. Lol

Srg-beautiful names! Of course I'm partial to Sophia ;) Have you agreed on any girl names? With your list of names, I could see one of these fitting in: Emma, Isabelle, Olivia, Ava, Charlotte. Fun to think about, but def hard!
Last day of vacation has finally arrived. Not looking forward to the grueling work hours esp. With being pregnant
🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016 🤰due 2018
I have sophia as a potential girl name on my list this time too. Its not my most favourite but like i said i have very few options left to choose from
🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016 🤰due 2018
Lola- almost every girl has been Charlotte, so that's on the table. I'm partial to Violet, but I don't know about DH.
