I'm feeling much better although not normal still. Feel a little crappy each time I eat. After dinner to bed I feel the yuckiest but it's still better than my 1st 2 boys so I try not to complain:/
I'm only 5'2 (and 1/2) and my last guy was 9lbs 2!!!!!!!! Hoping that was a fluke... Although my 1st was 8'9 so not much better:/
Welcome chan and congrats on your new little guy! These ladies are lovely and very supportive of everyone's roller coaster rides!
I'm 18 1/2 weeks now and I still don't really have a bump yet, I just look fatter all over lol :/ I didn't have a massive bump first time round, and I really do think my Pilates has massively strengthened my core, so I guess that my abs being pretty strong and carrying very far back ( mum was the same with me) just means that I'm going to look like a chubster for the rest of my pregnancy rather than an obviously preggy lady. I have bump envy lol!
Hope you are all ok ladies and good luck for your test results wanting xx
I was huge with all my 3 im also only 5.1 i was also in maternity by this stage with all mine but trying not to buy any just yet as im keeping the pregnancy a secret for as long as possible so ive just got clothes in bigger sizes for now! My tummy with this one is smaller now than it was last month but im not eating no where near as much i was eating loads of bread upto 12wks as it helped with the all day sickness! I also seem to have big babys ds1 was 8lb and 2 wks early ds2 9lb2 and ds3 8.1 this baby is already measuring big hoping that i dont get as big as i did with ds2 i looked bigger than most people do at 9months by the time i wad 4 and a half months i had to have extra scans!
I am going in to have MaterniT21 drawn today. Really hope everything is looking good with the test and all comes back normal. Will also find out gender!! As long as everything comes back normal we will be telling our family... probably on Mothers Day. I am just ready for the MS to be done with!!
Some of you are almost ready for your 20 week scans!! Who has one coming up?
What's with us shortys having big babies?? Lol
When people say something about me being big I always remind them that I fit the same size baby as a 6 foot lady in a shorter torso if not bigger so bugger off lol!
So exciting wanting!! I totally think you'll hAve another girl lucky duck!!
NC! Hope you come back and chat soon:) xx
I don't know Coocoo... I keep having dreams that this baby is a boy!! When I think about all the sway factors I think I have a good chance at a girl but then I keep having boy dreams. I am so ready to just find out. I can't believe you can hold out for 9 months!!
I am a shorty too! I am just under 5'2. My last baby was the biggest at 7lb9oz but that was at 36 weeks and 5 days. If I went longer I can only imagine how big he would have been! My babies all come early, so I would be miserable if I ever went past 37 weeks.

I guess I am the only short one on here that has little babies. All my babies have been term or overdue and all have been 6 lbs something ounces. My DD was the biggest at 6 lbs 13 oz. My SIL has big babies 9 lbs and her kids are bigger when they are born than mine are at 2 months:)
I am miserable at 37 weeks lol! I am sooo ready by then!!!

I'm thinking I'd like to have the info there in case I cave like last time and then don't have to pay to find out!!
My mom really wants me to wait but I'd love all the people who just know it's another boy to have it rubbed in their face if it was in fact a girl!
Today I told a very sarcastic friend that I was expecting and she kept saying 'you're joking' over and over. Then laughed when I said maybe it will be a girl. Nice.
She's in a horrible relationship though and is miserable all the time so I'll let her laugh at my "unfortunate" situation (eye roll)

Uuuhhhggg I just hate all of that! Maybe I won't tell anyone ever that I am PG:) Most women won't ask if your PG unless you are showing big time:)
That's exactly why I waited to find out this one was a boy before we start saying much. I didn't want any additional pressure of everyone saying, "this will be your girl!" I wanted to be able to announce that we were pregnant and what the gender was at the same time.Quote:

I wanted a girl but just knew it wouldn't happen. It's weird, either I really don't care this time or I feel like I might get a girl. I find myself actually looking at cute girl clothes. I guess if this is a boy, the next few weeks are the last time I can dream, so I will just keep doing it :)

Totally feel the same as you Acason!
So I've asked my sil not to throw me a baby shower this time. I don't want people to not think it is special if it's another boy (only 3 friends came last time after all insisted I had a shower when I said I thought I shouldn't and some even said if my relatives didn't have one for me they would throw it!) 3 friends!! (Granted they had excuses but still lol)
But I also don't want them all to come because its a girl! That makes me mad!i think they would make more effort because they would be excited for me, which is nice but it hurts my heart for the boy they wouldn't think is as exciting!
So they don't get one at all! Lol
I feel bad already if this LO is a boy. I will get all the canned responses of "well as long as he is healthy" and half hearted congrats. I wish everyone would be half as excited for a boy as they would if this is a girl. DS3 I felt didn't get a lot of excitement and it broke my heart.

Its meant to be a joyous time, who do these people think they are robbing us of our joy!!!!
One of my friends on FB announced she was having her third girl and there were several comments saying "well maybe next time a boy" or "guess you can only make girls". I really don't think people realize how hurtful these comments can be. For some reason there is just this unrealistic expectation out there that every family is going to be a PP. It is rather annoying!!
Vent: I HATE the last week leading up to an ultrasound, it just drags! I haven't had a dating scan this time so I'll be 13 weeks by the time I've even just heard /seen a heartbeat. I really hope everything is travelling ok in there. MMC always plague the back of my mind.... :(
Hi girls! It's been a while since I've been on. Had a little scare a little while back and ended up being sent for another u/s and to L&D for monitoring but everything is ok. I had my 20 week scan this past Friday and our little boy is absolutely perfect! Will be 20 weeks tomorrow - halfway there! Can't wait to meet this little guy!
You had us worried kellbell, so glad you and buba are doing well xx
I am so glad to see you back kellbell827!! You had us all so worried, you've probably seen all the posts asking if anyone had heard anything from you.
It's awesome that everything is going well and that your little man is happy and healthy. 😀
I am so glad everything is okay Kellbell. We were all worried after you didn't come back after your Drs appointment. So gad everything is going well!!
Thank you so much for your concern - I was so stressed there for a while, I am so sorry for the lack of updates. This little man appears to like giving mommy and daddy some scares. I had so much bleeding and they thought that it was my placenta, baby boy's heart rate was decelerating, it was so scary. I was on strict bed rest for 2 weeks. Still have a partial previa with some bleeding but at least it's not a complete. They are not very hopeful that it will resolve. I have another scan in 3 weeks to check on things and my little man. I feel him moving and keep telling myself that everything is ok but not gonna lie, I am pretty stressed and worried. I just want to hold him more than anything and see for myself that he is happy and healthy.
I am trying to catch up on what I have missed. Congrats to all that have had their scans and know all is well! I hope everyone is doing well!
Good to hear your little guy is ok!! Hope the rest of your pregnancy won't be too stressful for you:/
Almost there Peebell! It's hard not to anticipate that 1st u/s!! Just to even know there's a baby in there! (Well for me that is;)
I'm sure everything will be good!!! Excited to see your pics!!
10+5 reassurance scan in the morning! Good luck peebell! Xx
I wish we could get reassurance scans easily in Aus, surely docs/obyn know how nervous mums are at the start of a pregnancy.
Hi ladies :wave:
I used to be a regular on these boards awhile back, but have taken some time off after we lost our twin boy last year. It's been a rough year, but I've done quite a bit of healing and growing, I think. Well, hubby and I got the biggest shock of our lives a couple of weeks ago when my period was late and a strong BFP was staring back at me. We were 100% NOT trying, and this is actually terrible timing (I just started a new job, just enrolled in a high deductible health plan, haven't lost all the weight that I needed to lose, just not yet physically or emotionally ready to take on another pregnancy just yet...) But, this baby is on his/her way, whether we like it or not, so here I am! I thought I was due in December but I had a dating scan this afternoon and learned that my dates were way off. My new due date is November 29th, so I'm hoping you girls might be able to make some room for me in this buddy group? I'd love to join, if you'll have me! :)
Of course sweetpea! Like 1/2 this group are oops, so you'll fit in just fine lol!
Haha, thanks! :wink: Now I have to go back and catch up on the last 64 pages - you girls are quite chatty!Quote:

Welcome sweetpea. Having read about your sad loss with tears in my eyes, I'm glad to hear you're doing better now. Congratonulations on your wonderful, if shocking surprise!!! Xx
Ha I still don't believe I am pregnant at 12 weeks.... I'm in total denial. Welcome and congrats sweet pea!
You are in the right place Sweetpea!! Oh there are so many of us with the oops babies in here. I still wake up every morning thinking "Am I really having a 4th baby?? I can't believe I am pregnant... the chances of this happening were suppose to be NONE". I am not sure how long it is going to take me to get over this denial:)
Welcome and congrats!!
I would love to join up with all of you, with an awesome oops with #5 due 11/27. I originally thought I was due 11/18 but after some stressful ultrasounds and blood tests I apparently ovulated a week and a half late. (That explains the oops).
We were not planning on TTC so no swaying was done :(
Best of luck to all of you.
Congrats Mt9178!! Welcome!! Did you change anything up from your boys?? Were you wanting to sway later on?
Welcome mt
