Grace how did you get on with your scan??? xx
Good for you Tiffani! I really hope you are pleasantly surprised with pink. Good luck to you too 3M&AL! Pink to go around for everyone!!
Surgena,
I feel the same way!! I was sick with my boys and deathly ill with my girl that I lost but I'm so early i keep reminding myself I didnt feel sick the last time til around 6 weeks!
As far as gender goes, I don't have my hopes up as I feel like I had the chance at a girl and lost it :/ I also kept thinking there was no way it was girl but it turned out to be...
also, being on the progesterone suppositories I don't know if some things are preg symptoms or just side effects..
but after everything I know I just want a baby at this point and I also think that 4 is my max so I think maybe one more go around if its a boy....
I got my betas done again today.. I hope I can get the results tomorrow and not wait til Monday..
I don't get betas done here... it's a waiting game. Patience. Trying to relax. Hoping my body is doing the right thing and helping get those little cells multiplying and forming parts of a baby.
I've spoken to a midwife briefly and she will ring me in the next week or two to organize when I have my booking in appointment, probably next month sometime.
I am still so early on... but even after 1 successful pregnancy, I can't help but wonder if my body is a failure at getting these embryos going. I guess I should keep my mouth shut and just trust that things will move smoothly! And hope that the two miscarriages before my son won't repeat again.
Miscarriages are so draining. :(
They are draining. I am watched really closely this time because of my previous still birth and possible clotting issues... I've never had betas etc done before .. I don't know if it's more or less stressful to do them
Welcome to the new on in this thread - congrats on the BFP's!
Surgena - try and eats lots of pregnancy super foods - lots of fresh fruit and veg, make sure your taking some supplements, and think positive :)
Tiffani and three men - how exciting with your scans! i hope you both have a happy day!!! Make sure you keep us posted :) We will be going for a gender scan at 15 weeks as well, i am trying to tell myself its a boy Ive even brought a little paid of blue booties - i don't want to feel any disappointment. At the moment i feel like i won't be upset, but i worry that i might feel a tad sad at the the time if i hear boy. Poor DH - i reckon it will really get him down, he won't show it, but deep down he will be sad if its not a girl.
Ive been feeling really tired as well and the boobs are so so so sore!!!!!!
Tiff my Dh is the same and doesn't understand why it bothers me so much for this babe to be a girl, he says I am crazy and to just stop worrying about what I can't change. I just want to slap him....
Lassie, that's a grand idea..buying those booties. Getting excited for a boy could help ease the GD if it is indeed another boy, I may do the same and buy something cute and blue.
I really feel like I am carrying a girl. Things are so different for this pregnancy and my first two were so similar. I know people say that doesn't mean anything but I know people where it did mean something. I feel more connected to the girl name I have picked out and to girl clothes when i look at them in the store so hopefully that is my intuition saying something!
I went to the bathroom this morning and when I wiped there was scant brown discharge. I've thrown a pantyliner on just to pay attention if anymore happens.
This is NORMAL around 4ish weeks - right? You see, even though I've been pregnant (three times, technically) before, with my son's pregnancy I had still been post miscarriage so was so fixated on my period starting that I never attributed anything to pregnancy so likely wasn't paying attention.
Also, a very tall IKEA CD bookcase tumbled over onto my son this morning... the little shelves and massive amounts of CDs showering him. His arm got pinned to a chair. He was a little shaken but his arm is okay... but now I have this big pile of CDs and stuff to pick up and pull together but I'm too paranoid because of the light spotting. Grrrr.....
AND I won't see my husband until tomorrow night. So I can't just leave it there all weekend. :(
Oh suregena im not sure about spotting at 4 weeks, hopefully its nothing to worry about. I had a m/c before DD and i didnt have spotting. For me it was just like a very heavy period starting at 10 weeks.
:HH: Surgena, I hope it's just implantation still! I would leave the cd thing there...or have your friend come over and help..if you are spotting you should take it easy.
Oh no suregena I hope your little man is ok? Have you not got a friend who could come round to help you clean up?
Not sure about the spotting but fx everything's ok and was just a little old blood xx

I wiped again earlier and there was a teeny amount but then nothing. I hope it's just normal. I'm trying to keep myself on the couch...
Hi everyone, my NT scan went very well. I was quite exited to see that little baby swimming in there, waving its arms and legs and the tiny heart beating. The pictures I got aren't great, so I won't post them. I asked whether there's a sign for baby's gender, and the doc said it's too early, but if she had to guess she'd say boy , cause she saw something pointy between the legs...but it could still be a girl right? I have a scan booked for October 22, so we have another month to enjoy the benefit of the doubt. Oh, and DH told my MIL, haven't heard any nasty remarks yet..
That sounds great Grace! :) Isn't it fun to see babes for the first time!
Suregena - try not to worry too much about the spotting. Dark brown is good! It is the pink or bright red that you would worry about. I am still on pelvic rest (i.e., no sex) and have been on it since 7W5D b/c they found a pocket of blood when they did my u/s. I think it came from taking baby aspirin b/c when I googled it, I found a lot of places where ppl were saying they had the same thing b/c of the baby aspirin.
Finger crossed it is nothing! Glad your son was OK!
I'm trying not to. It almost seemed "dry" so I'm hoping that's good. It's just so hard to have any positivity, even after the successful pregnancy of my son, because I know I had two miscarriages in a row before him. It's just always in my mind so this morning threw me off good-thoughts mode. :/
Suregena, I had brown spotting at 4weeks with my DS and I thought that it was AF as I did not do a pregnancy test yet at that time. Then it stopped and so I got pregnancy test and it was positive. So it might not be anything serious. I also had more brown spotting at 7weeks and again at 20 or 21 weeks and doctor said that I had placenta previa and most probably all the spotting and blood at 21 weeks was due to it. My baby was still very health and perfect :) I just had to take it easy though till the spotting stopped.
Surgena
Last time I had spotting and then some bleeding around 10 weeks,u/s never showed where it was from so it was never a concern. I know some women who spot with all their pregnancies and their babies are all fine!
Sending you a hug Suregena, wish I was still over in Yorkshire then I could have popped over and given you a hand. I know how it feels being the foreigner.
On the spotting brown blood is old blood so don't worry about that, very common when your period would have been due so 4 weeks, 8 weeks etc. With ds1 and this time I had a very small amount of bright red spotting on the day my next period would have been due (8 weeks) that freaked me out big style with ds1 but a scan at 9 weeks showed him to be totally fine. This time I tried not to stress too much and haven't had any more so my GP said it is common and not to worry unless I get pains or more red or pink bleeding. If you are really worried though then maybe go to your nearest early pregnancy unit when your hubby gets back and see if they can give you a scan?
Glad your little boy is ok, so scary when things like that happen! xx
Glad your scan went well Gracie :) x
suregena, I'm so glad your little boy is okay! I had a morning of brown spotting on Monday, and nothing since. I know that it's common, but I also know that, no matter what, it still freaks you out. HUGS!
Well, have had no pain/nothing since, so fingers crossed...
Just checking in on everyone!! Trying to catch up over the next few days.
Hey Winngrin, I was wondering where you were. :) Hope everything is going well with you x
Hi we just announced it to all our family and friends
I've had so many oh it a girl this time or it might be a girl from them all literally all of them!
Everyone loved the jumper it was so sweet xx
That is so fun! That was so cute!!!Quote:

I'm going through a little gender funk and I'm not sure what I feel about gender.
Yeah nc that's how I think! So replied to them all nope it's more than likely a boy! Or when they said ooo could be a girl I said will be a boy!! All the kids kept asking if I wanted a girl so told them I wanted puppy's!!! The look on there faces lol
Hopefully it'll stop now I can take it for one day! xx
LOL. I hate peoples comments. one time after my baby had died and we buried her, I was at toys r us, we were trying to distract the boys from all the drama going on at home and we had gotten stuff for my niece and nephews bday so it looked like a lot of toys and so she asked how many kids I had, and I pointed to my 2 boys and she said, oh "you don't want a girl?" I was like !??!?!?! Sure I want one, can you magically GIVE me one?? UGH people suck sometimes.
Im sorry sweetie that must have been so hard! I think I would have thrown a right wobbly at her! Some people are so unreal! xxxx
Oh my goodness, some people just don't engage their brains do they. As Tiffani says I don't know how you stopped yourself from having a go at her.
A friend of mine was over for a bbq one time with some other friends, when I was getting some food to bring out they must have all started talking about children and were quizzing her about whether she was going to have any and she should get a move on etc. When I came back I could see she looked really upset, I took her to one side and asked if she was ok and she put a brave face on but admitted that they had been having problems ttc and had a go at IVF even that had failed os had pretty much given up on having children. :( I felt so bad for her, and couldn't believe the others had been going on at her. All cuddling their small babies/ children without a second thought that maybe she may be having problems. Thankfully about 6 months later after giving up on the idea of having children she fell pregnant and now has a beautiful little girl! :)
No more brown spotting since that initial bit yesterday morning... phew... :/
People can be so insensitive! When I found out I'm going to have a boy with DS1 I was pretty upset for a couple of days. I remember talking to my neighbor and she said " how is that possible? You wanted a girl!" Naturally she made me laugh but thinking back I guess I'd rather have a clever boy than a thick girl like her! I feel so lucky to have you girls as my friends,in the real world people hardly understand GD or wanting a baby of a certain gender. Of course most of them have kids of both genders so they don't have a right to criticize me over it...
EXCELLENT!!! I would still stay on pelvic rest meaning no sex and take it a bit easy for about a week. That's what I would do.Quote:

so pleased its stopped now, being pregnant is just so worrying!Quote:

I had a moment today whilst shopping in next, I started looking stupidly at baby girl clothes and the couple beside me were buying eveything I wanted..my eyes filled up and I had to get out of there! Really starting to panick now about my scan coming up :(
That's great news Suregena! Fingers crossed you don't get any more :) x
Awww Homebirthing, I know what you mean! The stuff in Next is just so sweet! I keep looking on their website and then try and switch to the boy stuff instead :/ What date is your scan? I really hope you see a little girl on the screen so you can relax and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. :) x
Thanks mummy, I really hope you and every1 on here gets the gender they want too!
Next is a killer for me I love the babygrows they have some gorgeous girly ones I tried to look at the boy stuff but just didn't feel interested, I know I will love baby what ever its just hard to think ill never have a girl.....I'm not very close with my mum I'm the only girl out of 3 boys (tho my little sister was stillborn) she never wants to do 'mum and daughter' things she didn't even what to come see me try on wedding dress!! I'm sure that's where my GD stems from!
My scan is 10th Oct at 3pm so 2wks weds omg! I said to hubby I don't think I wanna find out and he said I need to for my own sanity, I know he'd love a girl to but I don't think his need is as much as mine xxx
Hi girls not been round much lately got a few pages to catch up on,still not feeling good and still miserable,how are you all?i have my 1st scan 1st oct,can't wait,going to book 16 week 3d gender scan as soon as I am home from that scan.
