Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

3boys - I take generic Zofran for nausea.

Sweetpea - I'm going to guess G/B or G/G. It is still early so try not to worry.

I think I must have tumbled right over as I hurt knee and elbow/shoulder on one side and hand and toes on other! Must have been trying to protect baby - it all happened so fast x

---

I wasn't this sick no way! In my little fantasy land I can hope that means its a girl :) in reality every pregnancy is different right.

Just to add again, I'm so glad your little bean is alright, when I came on here and saw you had fell I was really worried about you (I know how stressed I was about it). Soooo glad all is well :) :) :) :)

Feeling a bit better they have put me on Metoclopramide and cyclizine tablets along with extra thiamine and folic acid. Is any one else on anti-nausea drugs? I feel guilty taking them. Can't believe how much hassle I have had with this pregnancy and I'm only ten weeks lol, I feel like a right drama queen, what with that and the fall down the stairs, the hospital must be sick of me.

Hoping for a 'normal' hospital free few weeks until my nuchal scan.

---

Not sure why I 'liked' this, things sound horrible for you.
You sound like you are in need of medication, do not worry about taking it. I am on metoclopramide also, it is working better now I bumped up to x3 daily. I am struggling too, but have only vomited once.
Man I hope it eases off for you soon XX

So sorry 3boys you got so sick. Seems everyone is still feeling so sick here, me included. Don't feel guilty about the medicine or of feeling sick throughout this pregnancy, it's nobodys fault of course. Being sick all day long for entire weeks is just unbearable :( Hope everyone starts feeling a lot better within the coming weeks....we deserve it girls.

---

So sorry about your flu cvd, as if it wasn't enough being nauseous! And especially now that we can't have anti-flu pills. Having paracetamol during pregnancy is ok though as long as you do not overdo it. Hope you will be feeling better soon.

How are you feeling, btw? I hope you and your little babe are doing well, and recovering just fine after your fall. :pray: I'm sorry to hear you're now having so much trouble with the nausea. I hope it gets much better for you soon! (((hugs))) to you, mama.

---

Hi sweetpea, I'm no expert either but I also think that baba A looks girlie :) I hope we are all right. Having fraternal twins, 1boy and 1 girl are also very very cute. If I had to have fraternal twins, I would want them that way, but that's my personal opinion of course! Don't lose hope yet, you still have a good chance of at least having one girl in there :)

Sorry you're also sick Maple but at least pills seem to be working a bit. I'm also still nauseated especially in afternoon and evening. I just seem to want to sleep cause I feel better when sleeping. I'm not taking any pills but tomorrow I have my scan and will ask dr to prescribe something in case it gets worse or I just can't handle it anymore.

This week I was especially nauseated, starting from morning till night and also had very painful stomach, I thought I was coming up with a virus or something but seems it's better today. And it seems the nausea feeling changed from feeling constantly nauseated to feeling constantly like throwing up. I'm afraid of going out because I'm worried I might just throw up anywhere especially when I go to the supermarket and there's all those smells :( I just can't smell bread and of course I have to buy it for hubby and little one for their school/work. Can't wait till we start to feel a little normal again.

I'm also associating more nausea = more possibility it's a girl, but also trying to be realistic and thinking this is only a myth!

Tomorrow I have my scan, as already said, and I'm gonna be peeking so much to see if there's anything popping up between the legs. Can't wait till my gender scan in December.

Thanks dreamingping, we have 2 :DS: so really :pray: for our little :princess: as probably this is our last :baby: Just cant wait to find out.. will be a long 20 weeks wait :hair:

After lots of strong positive HPTs, I missed my period a couple of days ago and went to the doctor today and pregnancy is all confirmed! Good to hear that it's not all in my head and great to be able to tell hubby that we are for sure pregnant. I think he needed to hear that before he really believed it. Lol. Pretty excited.

Congratulations Violet and Andrea. Hope you both have a healthy 9 months ahead.

I didn't even bother going to the GP this time. I just booked in with my consultant. With DD my GP gave me a lecture on not to get excited as 25% of pregnancies ends in miscarriage and then didn't bother doing a pregnancy test as he said the ones in the supermarket are better than any test he would have. (He is great most of the time and esp for DD which is why I don't change).

Andrea I hear you on the 20 weeks being such a long time. I get so envious of the girls on here having the gender scan a lot earlier and even getting good guesses at 12 weeks.

Welcome Andrea and Violet! Congrats to you both! Oh my goodness, ladies. I'm falling apart over here. The morning sickness is still hanging over me and my mood is out of control. All I do is argue with my DH and sit around and cry. I wanted to be pregnant but, now that I am, I'm terrified that I'll be overwhelmed by 3 kids. What if I can't manage once the baby's here? What if I'm actually a rotten mom? What if we're financially zapped forever because we had another baby? Bleh...just feeling so negative these days. I really hope these are just horomones messing with my head :(

Thanks ladies for the well wishes! After 2 days of sleep, rest and literally living on my couch as long as DS let me when DH wasn't home, I finally feel like its getting better today. Hopefully will be all cleared up tomorrow! I hope no one else gets these sicknesses that I have been getting :( feels horrible! And worse when pregnant lol! As second trimester is only 3 days away I hope my immune system magically beefs up lol!!!! I eat so many fruits and veggies plus my prenatal - this babe sure is taking alot out of me!

Glad you are a little better cvd and hope you'll be ok by tomorrow. I had flu some weeks ago and just felt aweful too, but luckily it only lasted for a few days for me. I see you're counting the days till your second trimester, I'm not the only one then :) I hope the 13weeks bring some magic with it and we're all be feeling well again!

Last night I had the most vivid dream that I was at the doctor's and had an unexpected ultrasound, and then when it was over, the dr. asked if I wanted to know the gender. I said yes (and felt really nervous in my dream!) and he said "It's a girl." I was so, so happy! I told him "do you know I have 3 boys?" The feeling was incredible. It felt so real. Then I must have told my boys first, because ds1 told DH that I was having a girl, and then I showed dh the ultrasound pictures and you could clearly see the "hamburger" between the legs. Ever since I had my scan on Monday and the baby is on the left side (Ramzi says that means girl) I have had the thought in my head that there is a chance it could really be a girl, and I think that is where the dream came from. I am getting my hopes up so much here, I'm worried it'll be a big letdown if it does turn out to be a boy. Please, Ramzi, be right!

Wow, what a wonderful dream, wish it turns out to be true for you :) I also dreamt of having a girl tonight. When I dream of having the baby it's always a girl and I'm also so afraid of being so disappointed at my gender scan. When I think about it, I just start crying...I feel so stupid. Like just right now, just finished crying cause was reading about antinatal classes, labour and baby names on internet....Crazy Hormones!

hi ladies sorry i've not been about for a few days - we've all had a horrible sickness bug, my little boy has been ill since monday and really rough and i've been off my feet all week, really struggled with the kids especially as i was struggling with ms too. Hope i haven't missed much and everyone is ok

Awe Jadis! It's just hormones making you feel overwhelmed... Seriously! I feel like being in bed all the time. I'm only eating rubbish, and feel yuk all the time. Snapping at the kids etc.. DH comes home from work and each day he asks how I am and I now want to lie because I'm sick of how whingey I sound, lol.

How many weeks/days are you now - get yourself a ticker!

Honestly when I am 12 wks, I better have a miraculous turn around and feel amazing for the rest of this pregnancy!!

Thinking of you XX

That's ok maple, I didnt take it that you liked I was ill lol.... Just sympathised :) Sorry you are feeling ill too Hun. I went to the midwife yesterday and she reassured me that taking the medication was safer for the baby than letting myself be sick and dehydrated all the time. Made me feel loads better :)

Hope we all feel better soon.

Thanks Hun, we all need a break don't we on this thread!! Hopefully as we all enter our second trimester we will magically all feel on top of the world! That's when the obsession with sex takes over in the 2nd trimester (less time puking more time nubsessing) ha ha ha

Thanks for the kind words of support, Maple. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one moping around feeling miserable. I'm really counting down to the 12 week mark, I'll be so upset if the 2nd trimester doesn't bring me out of my funk. I need a break from feeling sick, tired and anxious about baby. I'm 9 weeks and 4 days, how do I get myself oen of those fancy shmancy tickers?

Jadis I'm feeling ya! Because I am so sick, I haven't exactly been the best mum the last couple of weeks and all I keep thinking is well if I can't cope now how the hell am I going to cope when I have four of them! Had a few tears where I just felt so helpless, even cooking them a decent dinner makes me sick, we've nearly been late for school a few times as I have spent too long with my head down the toilet and it's getting to me. Poor DH gets it bad. I'm hard to live with at the mo.

I wouldn't worry too much. To be honest my third was the easiest to adjust to having in the house. I thought it would be really hard when I was pregnant but after he was born it seemed the most natural. The hardest thing was just trying to go anywhere by myself with an infant, toddler, and preschooler. I always had to make sure I parked near the carts so I could grab one to put them in so we could get into the store without anyone getting lost.

I KNOW!! I'm getting so nervous lol I have been kinda checking in every now and then on the ladies due in march/april/may who are finding out and they don't seem to be having great luck over there :(
I just am SOOO hoping for a CLEAR 99.9% shot. I don't want to hear like "hmmmm LEANING boy/girl". I think no matter what I hear, I won't be 100% convinced until my 18-20 week scan anyway lol so going early is pointless really. But I want to try! Hehe!!

I'm kinda clueless on early gender determination. At the point you are going, will they be basing it on the nub? Or would they be able tell from a potty shot?

She said as long as baby is in a good position she should be able to get a potty shot! (She also recommend I make SURE I am drinking water cause at this stage clear amniotic fluid is an influence, so to make sure I am getting at least 4 glasses/day, which I usually drink probably 6). She is going to do it in 2D and in 3D! I have heard fabulous things about her so fingers crossed! :)

---

So sorry you were all so sick Mrs_P, hope you are all much better now. :hug2:

A little update on me girls. Had my scan today, so baby seems to be ok :) He's almost 5cm and doctor said he's measuring as at 11weeks 4 days, and I'm supposed to be 11weeks 5 days, but he said that's ok and nothing to worry about. All measurements he took seem to be ok. Heartbeat was 160b/m. Hubby asked him about gender and he didn't even try to check, he said it's too early for that. I couldn't see a nub either. I only got two pics cause while he was printing another two, the printing paper roll finished and they got stuck in the machine :( and actually the last two seemed to be the best two shots. I tried to scan them but honestly don't know how to do it, hubby is not here now cause he had a football match after doctor's visit, but will ask him to scan them when he's back or tomorrow morning as it will be late. I'll post them for you to see but there's no visible nub :( and photos are not very clear either.

It was very exciting though seeing our little one move for the first time. He kicked and at one time even turned around and gave us his back, how rude of him lol :) I'm so happy I finally saw him again :) I sometimes didn't believe he was really inside me. The more I looked at the screen and at the photos, the more I think it's a boy. He doesn't seem to have that dainty skull if you know what I mean :) So I guess it's a boy for us. I'll probably know in 4weeks time....can't wait till it comes!
