I should be 12 weeks today, going from my last ultrasound. Friday is the NT scan where I should be around 12 weeks 4 days. I am sooo nervous, is baby healthy, and I don't even want to look for a nub, I'm scared that I will see an obvious boy nub and that means in a few days my life will forever change, as this is my last opportunity for a girl. I don't feel mentally prepared to hear 'boy' again. I have told my gynae not to mention gender at any point (I have friends who have been to him and he has accurately told them at 12 weeks what they were having). I'm also going to get him to write down the gender in an envelope so my husband and I can open it after Christmas. We have family staying with us over the Christmas period and I don't want such a special time to be clouded with negative feelings if it does turn out to be another boy. There's no way I want to be sad for my kiddies at Christmas. So I guess in that way I am giving myself a bit more time to hope! As for how I'm feeling, my nausea still persists if I haven't eaten, but it is not bad, just mild. I have not been sick once this time, but I have stayed away from 'trigger' foods that made me sick last 2 times! Boobs still sore and I'm EXHAUSTED all the time, if I am cleaning the house, I clean for 10 minutes, then sit down and then clean again! Takes ages to get anything done! I hope you are all feeling a bit better as your pregnancies progress. I have had 2 friends tell me this week they are pregnant! And both a week ahead of me! I have only told immediate family as we always wait until the NT scan is given the all clear. So frustrating when I want to say 'I'm pregnant too'! Not long now anyway xx
