I just measure a few cms ahead if weeks but the growth scan of my last one said he would be 9lb 8 and he was not that big even if he went to term ....
Got my first scan date in, 15th of August when I will be 13+2 by my dates. It's so weird because this time I haven't seen my baby yet. Always had early scans with my boys due to red bleeding. I'm not sure if I want a nub shot or not. My last son had a really obvious boy nub and the dream was over really fast.
Your children have been around the 8 mark. I hope mine stays around the 7mark. Im dreading labour. I go on for days... Then when it comes to the pushing part im done within 20mins or so. i really want to try to loose my weight after this baby. I find the stomach area really tough to loose. Maybe its bcos i had my babies very close together.Quote:

It's ah-mazing for loosing the tummy and I have NEVER been a jogger or one of those ladies who look amazing running down the street. I tend to look like a sweaty uncoordinated tomato and the trick for me was running when dh got home from work to look after the boys and just going on my own with my iPod. That way I didn't feel pressured by a friend with me, or feel watched. I tend to jog the tracks where I won't see many people either, that's how bad I look!!! But just 4-5km a day, 5 days a week was enough and I lost the belly in a month or two. I was also doing the calorie counting at the time but not that strict, because I was trying to maintain weight not loose.Quote:

Has any one els suffered from uti's during prenancy?? If so what can you take to get by until you can get into the doctors??? :(
I had one recently. Cranberry juice and Ural if you can get it. Heaps of water as well. Get to the dr asap so you can get some anti biotics :)
Congrats on all the recent successful gender sways! I have my scan in three weeks which is exciting. Hopefully I can join the success rate :)
Afy - CONGRATS on your sweet baby boy! Like I told Huds, little boys adore their mommies!!
Soar - I am really just surmising on the shape of the uterus thing. I looked through lots of early ultrasound pics, and then saw a diagram of a transverse ultrasound vs. a sagittal ultrasound. In the transverse, the shape of the uterus appears to be more horizontally shaped, kinda like a jellybean. The sagittal view looks a little more vertical, which is what my pics look like. So, if indeed mine is sagittal, even though baby appears on the left, that wouldn't mean left, since sagittal doesn't show right/left. Does that make sense? Again, I am guessing that mine's not transverse, but I don't really know that! Just giving myself a slight little bit of hope! So glad to hear you enjoyed your vacation!
Weight of baby - My boys were relatively small (and still are). They were all 20 inches, but DS1 was 6lb, 3oz at 39+6, DS2 was 7lb, 9oz at 38+6, and DS3 was 6lb, 11oz at 38+1.
Grace - Adorable bedding!! I already bought bedding...pink and brown! I am crazy. I actually was pg at the time, but in the 2ww. Walked into Pottery Barn Kids (where all 3 boys' baby bedding came from & LOVE) randomly one day, and found an adorable girl set with the colors I wanted (I wanted pink & brown because DS3 has brown accents and I can reuse his crib sheets and changing pad cover) that was on SALE! I still cannot believe I bought it, because a) I didn't know I was pg, b) I STILL don't know gender, c) they had a 30-day return policy, and d) it was not cheap! I am really hoping my crazy little whim pays off, because if not, DS4 will probably have to reuse DS3's bedding, and I will be so sad not to shop for my new baby boy! Unless I can somehow manage to sell the girl bedding for close to what I paid for it. What was I thinking?? Lol.
Waiting - Sorry you're still feeling so badly! Yuck! I am not throwing up, but feeling somewhat sicker this time. Just a seasick, swimmy-headed feeling that comes and goes. It is no fun!
AFM - Still feeling utterly exhausted. Did find out today that my thyroid meds need to be adjusted, though. Will start my new dose tomorrow, hoping that helps my energy level!
Rainbow I totally almost did a similar thing and almost brought a girls outfit in target. But I didn't want to jinx myself since I do know I'm pg, so I put it down.
Am I the only one with boys that love their dad more than their mum? I do EVERYTHING for them yet daddy is just the apple of their eyes!! In my house, the ds1 and 2 hierarchy of love goes:
1) daddy
2) the dogs
3) the chooks
4) themselves
5) anything else they can think of
6) mummy, but usually only if they are sick
*facepalm
I need a girl!
Bet she loves daddy more too, just my luck!
Oh that gives me hope. How soon after did u start dieting and running? Bcos i know this will be my last baby.. Im so motivated to loose my over hanging belly lol. Music is a good idea, im goin to try that. Ive never been one for running, ill have to slowly build up to it.Quote:
