businesswoman - I second Nahri and would wait until 14 weeks for gender confirmation. At 12-13 weeks it's still just a guess and personally it would scare me to see a nub that leaned one way and get my hopes up only to find out bad news 2 weeks later.
Yeah I guess I will wait untill my appoinment after 2 weeks , so everything will be clearer
Nahri, today is the day of your US isnt it, Sunday??? Good luck, I have everything crossed for you xxx
I'm still feeling so ill ladies. I'm only 7 weeks so I still have 3 weeks ahead of me of feeling awful. I'm so mad the B6/unisom isn't working. Drs won't prescribe anything here and I just don't know how to function over the holidays. We aren't telling the family at Christmas since my SILs IVF didn't work this time so I also have to hide how ill and tired I'm feeling. The only time I feel OK is when I'm asleep. Sorry for the poor me post but I'm just really miserable at the moment :(

Your welcome, How are your symtoms today? I have been very crampy for the past few days :/ that makes me worried I wont see my Doctor til December 29th, good thing is if I get too worried I will go to the ER just to make sure the babies are doing good. Ive been having nightmares about the babies :( my fears are coming to me in my dreams . I agree with trying not to get too attached but already am. I saw your sono on your thread yours looks like mine :)Quote:

That has to be so heartbreaking.Quote:

We are visiting DH family over the holiday. It is going to be very hard to hide this belly I have. I am at that point where I could just be fat or on my way to being huge. DH and I don't want to discuss it with his family for many reasons so we have a plan, which is honest. We haven't told DD2 or DD3, DD1 figured it out on her own. We have a scan scheduled for 12/29 to surprise them so if MIL or FIL or SIL figure it out DH will tell them to keep it quiet....then we won't have to discuss it with them, I hope!!!!
Yep happylea! And at 15 weeks there is NO mistake it's a GIRL! WOOOOHOOOO The strict vegetarian diet was not for nothing!
Congrats Nahri!!!!!

Thanks for all the tips Adia! I will try taking the B6 spread out through the day and sipping ginger ale. My SIL is overwhelmed with her two and not even sure if she even wants a third but of course anytime IVF doesn't work out it is sad. She is still deciding whether they will go through the whole process again (these were her last saved eggs) or not. I think once she finds out we're pregnant she will but she doesn't need to find out at Christmas.

WOOHOO!! Wonderful news Nahri!! Congratulations! So excited for you!
Oh Nahri, how wonderful! Congratulations!
Have you ladies heard of "preggie pops"? They are hard candies that are somewhat sour orange, lemon and lime flavors and help curb morning sickness nausea. I bought them on Amazon.com. They do help a little in case you are still finding no relief.
Congrats Nahri!Quote:

Thanks all. And yes those preggie pops are AWESOME for you ladies that are having nausea trouble. There's a pack next to my bed,in my car, and in the kitChen. I have the tummy drops too but some are on the spicy side because of cinnamon or chai.
Wonderful news Nahri. Congratulations :)

Posted the pics here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ultr...ies-right.html
On a side note the reveal went fairly well. Lots of congrats all around and then the knife... Are they sure? How sure can you really be? Maybe you shouldn't tell people... let it GOOOOO let it GOOOOO
Oh so many questions, Nahri! It is so hard to deal with how to answer the curious ones. Everyone wondered how we knew so early at 12 weeks. Explaining about the new test was kind of awkward, but I manged to give a short and sweet version.
I have been bleeding a bit and cramping today. I don't know what to think but can't help but worry. I called my midwife and she said if I start to bleed like a period to go to the ER, otherwise I will see her tomorrow in the clinic. This is going to be a long night I am sure. 😞 Glad I can always come here to connect with you ladies. My husband is working nights and being alone sucks right about now. My babies are fast asleep.
Congrats nahri! I'm so happy for you.
2boys, keeping my fingers crossed for you that everything is okay. Please keep us posted.
I'm so over the morning sickness. I'm 15 weeks and still puking all the time!! Preggie pops didn't do much for me, but glad they are working for others. I'm a believer in the sea sickness wristbands, as I get immediately worse within 10 minutes of taking them off. I wear them 24/7.
I'm somewhat torn about logging into chat with everyone. I want to check in because I want to hear how everyone is getting on, and I'm curious to hear what everyone is having, but at the same time, logging into genderdreaming.com just makes my gender disappointment worse. It's like it's a reminder that my sway failed and I'll never have a daughter. It's such a mixed bag of emotions.

2boys, keep us posted. I will be thinking of you!
Christi, maybe just take the holidays of from GD? see how you feel after that and reevaluate. I can understand having mixed emotions right now with this site.
Yaaaay Nahri !! Great news !
So happy for you 😍
Junie
Im 12 weeks and still sick :(
Ginger drinks help me little too
Aww Christi *hugs*
2boys sending you positive vibes that everything is fine
Keep us posted..
Woohoo Nahri!!! Congratulations on your little girl!!!
And it's 2 days until my gender scan and I'm now getting extremely nervous, last night I dreamt they told me it was a girl and I cried...and then of course I woke up!!!
Im finding it hard atm to tell myself it's a I boy as I have a strong feeling it's a girl and feel like when im told boy I won't be able to hold it together :(
In other pregnancies I have dreamt of giving birth to a girl and they were as 'll boys so now I dreamt scan showed girl I know its a boy!!!
Even though I'm nervous of gender bit I can't wait to see my baby again and the day before Christmas what a lovely day to see him/her :)
I can empathize Christi! With our first the desire was strong even then. I read posts of we got the gender we wanted and thought why not me. Being in that situation pulls at your heart strings because you've been there or it could have been you again. Even if the struggle is only temporary for those that get their desire its something we all understand especially the thought that the dream could have been crushed. I think everyone would understand you taking a break while you come to terms with the arrival of your child. You have to do what is best not only for your body but your mind as well during this tough time because they are intertwined. Whatever your decision I am sure we all wish you the best!
I'm so sorry. Feeling so sick is awful. I hope you feel decent for Christmas and New Years though!Quote:

I'm so sorry for those that are still sick. I'm so grateful that unisom + B6 has worked so well this pregnancy,but I still have days where I'm dry heaving and gagging all day. I'm only 11 weeks so I likely have another 2-4 weeks of this (or more!), yuck! I do like being pregnant around the holidays (last time DS was October, so I missed out on this), but I hate how tired and sick I feel and how my desire to buy and wrap gifts and get in the holiday spirit is 0. I just want to curl up on the couch and nap 24/7!
I know dreams don't mean much, however, I dreamt 3 days before my u/s last week that it was twins and they told me "you're having a boy...and a girl". I texted my husband the next morning at work and told him I had a gut feeling this pregnancy was twins and to be prepared at ths u/s . Sure enough! Last night I had a dream that a friend did an u/s for us at his office. He could tell one was a boy , and then he said "both look identical and I can't see the gender on the other one so you really should mentally prepare yourself for 2 identical boys". The dream has helped me immensely. I've been working on coming up with 2 boy names I love and imagining myself with 3 little boys (oh my!) and hopefully I won't be so shocked when it comes true at the end of January.
2boys - Fingers crossed that you are doing OK and your appointment goes well! Please update us, we are worried for you and are all hoping for the best.
Christi - I don't blame you at all! If I'm having 2 boys I'm torn about setting up a thread of those of us GD due this summer here on the site or switching to the bump where gender issues don't really exist and everyone just is happy to be pregnant. It's hard to say whether it's easy to be around a group where GD is accepted and you can vent or where no one cares about gender at all. I wish you all the best whatever you need to do and we all very much understand how you feel.
HappyLea - good luck, we can't wait to hear!
bluebonnet- Is it coming from your stomach or your sinuses? I have found that the majority of my gagging/vomiting issues have been from overactive sinuses that go from drip to plug. That constant run down the back of your throat can also upset your stomach! Taking tylenol cold and sinus or an antihistamine during the day has helped me immensely. Ive started taking the unisom at night to help me sleep (THANK YOU LADIES FOR THAT) but since its an antihistamine it helps dry up my sinuses and Im not gagging etc until they let go in the AM.
NI sent you a message, 2boys. I wish there was something we could do for you. This is just heart-wrenching that I cannot be there in person for you! God be with you and this may just be a cyst or something. That is very common and has happened to a friend of mine who went on to have a healthy baby. Try and take deep breaths, relaxing will help you. The only way to do that is to keep on saying to yourself that it is ok and focus on anything good that you can. Don't let the negTive cloud your mind. I really believe that mind over matter can help. Praying so hard for you every spare moment and sending you good vibes. ((Big hugs))Quote:

I know so well how you feel and it was the reason I stayed offline for my almost entire first trimester this time. I experienced it for so many years and three boys (one an angel). I empathize with you so much as so many of the other ladies here do. I found comfort in digging deep within myself to be happy for the others especially who are in these boards with me.which was so very difficult when I was hurting so deeply, but it helped over time because feeling joy always heals. Now, in real life, that is a whole other story. I have felt and fought feeling such contempt for women who seemed to have exactly what they wanted, especially when they rubbed it in. In my kids' school, it is like a bombardment of that. And you know those ones who flaunt it...One woman said to me, "well I have 'mine'and now I have to try and get my husband his..." She was referring to having two girls and the fact that I had three boys. I told her that" These 'are 'mine and I love my boys, have always wanted boys with at least one brother. " ( it's true!)
To have this wonderful group of women going through what we all have is so comforting and it just feels so safe here. I limited my time on here a lot, but I came on once in a while to connect and feel validated. In the real world, it's not so safe to talk about it for so many of us. But, just know that we all understand your feelings. Come and go as you need and we will be here for you.
Keep us updated 2boys I hope your appointment goes well!
I hope your appt goes well today!

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words and understanding. Its nice to know that I am not alone in how I'm feeling because most people in my life know I was hoping for a girl, but its not really something anyone wants to talk about gender disappointment with me. And, really, I don't know that i really want to talk about it either, but its just kind of a lonely feeling.
2 boys, I am so sorry you are going through this and please know that we are all thinking and praying for you and your little bub.
Hope your appointment went ok 2boys!
Congrats to everyone that found out the gender! (whether it is what you were hoping or not)
I think I have finally turned a corner the past 4 days - no more night nausea and feeling like crap. I'm even feeling a little less tired! I'm 11 weeks tomorrow. Hoping to see a nice girl nub at my NT scan next week. Hope everyone else starts to feel better too!
There is no fetal heart activity. It's over. 💔
Oh 2boys I am so very sorry.
