Well- most doctors aren't really that interested in gender research as we have discovered anyway. But yes, and my doctor made some other comment about something being right or left- and she didn't seem to confident, so I think a lot of people asking their doctors trust what they say- but they might be wrong. Not worth worrying about!
Spicy- glad you're not hedging your bets on Ramzi's. He did the first u/s at 6 weeks and then waited till 20 weeks to confirm. I decided a while ago it wasn't worth wasting my brain thinking about. I'm actually ignoring all the things that people say mean boy or girl. 4 pregnancies all different, I've decided nothing means anything till you see the goods lol
Nesting like crazy here, anyone else or am I the furthest along since Babydes abandon us lol jk baby glad you're doing well. Ok can't sit still any longer, off to clean!
3pink- I can't believe you are nesting already! I am sooo jealous...I am still in LAZY slug mode atm, all i want to do is sleep and sit LOL trying to keep a handle on the basics regarding the house is MORE than enough....which is sooo not what I am normally like- I am usually a high energy person that my friends complain that my house is too tidy... this is not a nice feeling for me...so when did your nesting kick in??
Spicy- i agree the whole gender theories thing is not worth worrying about until you actually see the real thing in a scan/ IRL...but I def feel disconneted to this baby ATM I am hoping thats because I haven't hit the magic 12 weeks ( well just hitting it)and had my scan I think i felt a bit the same with my others- did/ does anyone else feel the same? I am hoping once i see all is good this thurs I will feel a bit better......we will see I guess :)
Cheeky FWIW I am still in lazy slug mode, LOL! And like you I am normally super-clean and tidy. I'm REALLY hoping nesting kicks in for me in about 5 weeks since we'll be moving and there will be loads to do. And I will say that I too felt pretty disconnected until the 12 week scan. That really put so much of my concern at rest and seeing the little baby in there was just magical. FX it does the same for you! When is your scan scheduled for? FX you get a fab nub!
AFM I tested my urine pH again this am; hadn't done that in weeks :rofl: It wasn't FMU, it was after my breakfast of decaf coffee and donut holes ... but it was an 8. Why oh why can't OWT be true?!?! LOL. I wouldn't be driving myself so crazy if we were going to find out for sure but since I have to wait til birth I am going to wonder about everything :bigsmile:
12 days Jen!!!! Not even 2 weeks away! Oh the suspense!!! I bet Babydes will be finding out around the same time... I'm sure she will pop in to update too!
Cheeky- the nesting kicked it between 16 and 17 wks which is great as my slug mode was really bad lol I'm hoping it keeps going through Chistmas so I can resume slug behaviors for the last 6ish weeks :bigsmile: I think the disconnect is pretty normal, I'm still kinda waiting to feel more attached.
B- I know, I can't believe how close it is! 12 days to the u/s 11 days to 20 wks, it's happening so fast lately. I refuse to re-check my urine pH, I keep reminding myself how close I am. I'd be nuts by now if we were waiting.
So dd1 doesn't want to come to the u/s, she has choir practice and would rather go there. She's positive we'll hear boy and wants to wait as long as possible to find out. I am really trying to keep my hopes level but her insistance on blue is killing me! Here's hoping she's 3 for 3 and it is a boy! I've never been as obsessed as I am right now lol
Jen your so close to the big reveal!!! I hope baby has his;) legs tightly crossed and makes you come back a week later:suprise::rofl: NOT REALLY!!! As soon as that wand goes on, instant answers:bigsmile: I reckon your DD is going to be right still! One of mine is, and she was driving me nuts keep saying girl with the last 3 LOL!
ELP you're naughty, LOL! Jen, I can't wait to hear what the bean is! I bet DD is right though and you hear blue. She'll love him to bits once he arrives I'm sure, even if she's nervous about it beforehand.
I honestly will be more proud of myself for waiting that I would be for giving birth unmedicated. Given my strengths/weaknesses the waiting game will be much more of a triumph over my nature than unmedicated birth!
Begonia- did you get a good view of the nub?
begonia- I hope you get that nesting feeling before the move too- OMG couldn't imagine moving the way I feel atm ! Re the not finding out I admire that you would fight your natural instinct to want to find out for your hubbies sake- i am too weak 1 LOl
3pink- I am getting soo excited I can garantee this thread will be seeing ALOT of action in ten days time :) Don't forget to post and leave us all hanging LOL ;)
ELP- Thats very intresting - has your little girl made any predictions with the one your carrying yet?
AFM- My scan is in 2 days - hoping for a nub shot but not holding my breath incase i get a wierd scanner person or something :) Will just be glad to see it there and healthy at this point...although will prob be kicking myself I have no nub shot after the fact LOL
Spicy my LO was upside down (which supposedly voids nub theory) and moving the whole time! Like, I've never seen a 12 week old baby so active, LOL! Flipping and wiggling the whole body and arms and legs, all at the same time... this kid is crazy! I tried to watch for a nub but am quite certain I didn't see a darn thing with all it was doing.
Cheeky, I just told my sonographer that with my 2nd baby they only gave me a pic of the face, and I'd love to have a full body profile shot of this bean since I think those are so cute. And he did give that to me ... but there's no nub in mine; it's the one I posted on the TTC blue thread back in August ... legs are definitely in the way, and baby is not on its back. So... I would just ask your tech for as many full body profile shots as you can get; tell them you want to send a couple to the grandparents and would love to get 3 or 4 if they get some good ones.
Hope your scan goes well and you get some good hints! I really wish I had a nub hint! I will be watching my next scan (prob at 17-18 weeks) like crazy trying to see something :bigsmile:
Oh and FWIW Cheeky ... I still might find out on my own and not tell anyone IRL. I'm just going to see how it goes. I hate thinking about it every day, KWIM? I'd like to be able to just put the question to rest, and I really feel like I'll be a-ok hearing girl again, so ... we'll see ... if after my next scan I get no hint, and I'm still torturing myself thinking about it every day, I'll probably find out bc this is my last pg and I don't want to spend every day feeling like this! I do think if I quit coming on here (like Babydes) I'd quit obsessing about it, so I think she was smart to do that. But I don't want to quit coming here :shrug: So I stick around and obsess ... and hope to see some of our blue crew get knocked up soon and join us here!
