September 2013 babies!!

Your symptoms sound loads like mine. I am much more grumpy this time feels like permanent pmt, with boys I felt pretty good! Also with my boys one of my first pregnancy signs was hot flushes, this time I'm always freezing! I'm like u always wrapped up in my dressing gown! Also I have no sex drive at all, my partner was moaning to me yesterday and comparing it my previous pregnancies when we had more sex. Also I've never had morning sickness but this time I'm more queasy! Praying for pink, 12 week scan is on the 18th x

Congrats wanting pink! And good luck for your scan divakotka :) fx for a little pink bundle xx

Congrats WantingPink! I hope lots more of us get that added excitement of getting our DG. I have my first ob visit today and she'll do a quick scan, hopefully there's only one in there. Four seems busy but manageable but five would tip me over, I think!

For those with different symptoms who have previously had boys, I had moderate all day sickness with my previous three pregnancies and none this time. I know it's all just OWT stuff but it gives me something to get excited about until my proper scans.

Yay no twins! Still ages till my nuchal though (it's on the 21st.) I tried to get my ob to check my placental location (even though I'm not sure about Ramzi's research, given it's not been peer reviewed or reproduced) and apparently it's midline and posterior. So no gender clues!

Mum to 3 glad all was well at your ob appt. To give you some hope with my boys I wasn't sick really at all, I'm holding hope also because this time I am sick, fx for both of us :)

Argh! The hours are going by so slowly! It's still saying 26 days until our gender scan.

no i wasn't sick with my boys

OMG i thought before 12 week scan oh it's only 4 weeks later than the 12 week once i've had that it'll fly! agh not at all dragging like my three year old dawderling with his coat aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhh

also now worrying as tw2 very picklie at 12 week they won't be able to tell anyway.........ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I actually quite like the wait, when it's possible to get excited about having either. In 2 1/2 weeks I'm bound to get the world's most girly looking nub so it's nice to think about having a little boy for a while.

ah see this is my worry i'm gonna spend the next four weeks convicing myself i'm having twin girls perfect each has a sister, 2 piegon pairs its the perfect outcome

it's a long way to fall when i hear two boys which is probably what
they'll be ;-S, doll at least four girls will be a calmer place than my four boy bedlam!

Trust me, the three I've got now can get pretty noisy! One of your twins' nubs looked incredibly girly.

Am so tired today! It was my boys' joint birthday party yesterday and its floored me - I was dreading it and so glad its over with!

I'm feeling a little negative today, I'm excited for all the ladies who seem to have girl nubs and those of you who have a confirmed girl, truly I am, but I feel like someone is gonna be let down, statistically we can't all get our DG can we?? Ugh with luck, I'll be the one to hear BOY! I mean I don't even have the luck to get a dr that does a 12 week scan!! I know I need to stop being negative, it's just one of those days! Sorry!

I haven't been active on this thread, but I want to change that! Hello everyone!! I don't think I ever gave an introduction. My name is Lauren and I have 2 boys. Surprise baby #3 is due September 16th. I suffered gd pretty bad with DS2. I was hesitant to even have another child because of all those feelings but here I am. It took months to conceive my boys (DS1 I wasn't really trying b/c I was only 18 but we definitely were throwing caution to the wind often, lol). I was shocked that one oopsie resulted in this pregnancy- I know it only takes one time, just not usually for me. My 8 year old insists this baby is a girl. He was right with his brother so I'm hoping he's right again. Lately though I've been having a boy feeling. I paid to get an early u/s with DS2. This time I don't really want to know.. I do but I don't, if you kwim. I think what makes it a little harder this time is my DH has a preference. He wants a little girl. I didn't even know this until he was looking at the Ramzi theory and obsessing over my u/s pic. I really hope we aren't all disappointed. :( Anyway, just wanted to hop on here and share my feelings. It feels good to talk to others who can relate. :)

I'm sorry you are feeling down! I really, really hope you are pregnant with a girl. I've been having a boy feeling too. Maybe it's just a defense mechanism for both of us?

I won't have a 12 wk u/s either. I'm ok with it though. I'm in that ignorance is bliss stage. lol!

I know how you feel...most of the votes I got on our baby's nub are for boy so I have been trying to prepare myself for that but haven't made any progress. I also know several lovely 3-boy families so it helps to know that it's not just happening to "me." Obviously it's not but I also know many more families who ended up with the opposite gender after having two of the same. Ah pity party. :rolleyes: But since you haven't even had a nub shot yet, there's a lot more hope for you! I just saw you're in Columbus. I am right down the road in Dayton, haha. I'm confused that you're not offered an NT scan?! I thought that was standard practice by now?!
I hope your day gets better, hang in there.

Hi Lauren and congratulations on your new baby! It seems as though there are quite a few of us on here with boys and dreaming of pink. Our 3rd wasn't a surprise, we really wanted to have one more, but now I wish we would have tried to sway for pink. This is definitely our last baby though and it doesn't help that my DH also wants a little girl. My older son also insists that this baby is another boy whereas the little 2-year-old dude keeps saying it's a baby sister, lol. I booked a private scan for March 14th, so we'll know soon. Part of me thinks like you....ignorance is bliss. But if it's indeed a third boy, I want to know asap so I can move on and get excited. Because little boys are really really awesome. :bluecheer:

I do feel the same... I am happy or everyone getting their dream gender but statistically every confirmed girl reduces my chance... I have bad luck too.... But maybe I should be the one to get a boy cause I think I will b ok :)

So did you get your scan rescheduled? Hoping you got it for closer to 12-13 weeks. You need to get better at telling the white lies to get what you want:) I know that sounds awful however, when it comes to getting the US scan I will exaggerate certain things to get one:) You know that no matter what anyone else gets on this thread it doesn't increase or decrease your changes for a DD. Hang in there... I know the waiting is awful. You should look into some private scan places that will do a gender determination at 15 weeks:) It will give you something to look forward to and it will make your 20 week scan more enjoyable:) Hope you have a better day!

Hi and welcome!! I just wanted to give you a little hope. I too had a one time "oops" PG with this baby and after two boys it is definitely looking like this little one is a girl so it can happen!! I too NEVER allowed myself to think of this baby as a girl. I didn't even think about girl names. We had a boy name all picked out that I was quite happy with and then... girl!! GL and I hope you get your girl!!

Divakotka I can't wait until March 14th for you!! So exciting and I really hope you get to hear girl.

I just haven't scheduled the ultrasound yet, I'm gonna delay it as long as I can, I'm worried if I call to reschedule they will try to pressure me into going in earlier, so I'm just not going to call for at least 2 weeks. I'm terrible at the white lies so I just avoid situations that require them.... Lol! We cannot afford the 15week private scan. I think as soon as the weather gets nicer, and my 1st trimester is over (ugh all the morning sickness,laziness/exhaustion, and headaches that I've had during the 1st trimester) then my 2nd trimester will be nice and 20 weeks will come before we know it! My mom is coming to stay with us from may until the baby comes in sept!!! I'm so excited to see her and have her here! I haven't seen her in over a year! My boys are elated to see their Gammy soon!

I would just say you need to schedule for that week cause of work schedules/ baby sitter issues... They can't force you to go earlier if you "can't"

Here is my 10 week bump, its starting to pop out!Attachment 9377

Omg your tiny!

Lol I lost a lot of weight on the LE diet, so much that my BMI got down to 16.6 I think and my ovulation started being delayed, that's why I stopped the calorie counting part of the. LE diet, and I snacked, I gained a few lbs back, that's why I think this might be a boy.

I can never seem to keep up with you ladies but have tried to check in and get up to date.

Welcome to the new ladies, the more the merrier!!!

So exciting that we have several ladies finding out soon (and one already confirmed!). I'm leaning more and more to getting a potty/nub shot at my ultrasound next week. I know the 14th week can be tricky but I may take my chances. On the other hand I may chicken out and stay team green.

Thorz, you look so cute! My belly is beyond huge and has been for quite some time. I too lost a lot of weight in the months before getting pregnant (was 89 lbs when I got my bfp) but am more than making up for it now that I've got my appetite back!

So I went to my 14-week appointment this afternoon and my OB talked to me about the small amount of tricuspid regurgitation they found on the baby's heart. She said that even though my Down Syndrome risk came back at 1:5100, if I wanted to, we could also do the MaterniT21 for more peace of mind (which I'm all for it since we had a little big of a scare with DS1). So they are checking with my insurance now (Tricare) and if it's covered, I'll go ahead and do it! This also means that I could possibly find out the gender with certainty within the next 7-10 days. I would cancel my private scan at 16 weeks (10 days from today and save $100. :)

Thank you! Congrats on the twins!! That is awesome! :)

Hi Shiningstar!

Thorz, you are so petite! I know it's hard not to be superstitious but other people hearing pink does not in any way reduce your own chances. If everyone who wanted a girl was hearing boy you'd probably be equally worried that there was a "blue streak" happening!
