Oh yeah, definately. Hubby already asked gynae if he could tell us the sex at our last us, which was last week, I was 11wks 5days. The gynae said it's def too early. Now we have another visit on the 21st December, I'll be 15wks5days and I'm really hoping he'll be able to tell us gender and that little one will co-operate and lets us see his 'private' part :) When I was pregnant with my son, I was about 24weeks I think when I found out cause gynae always said he didn't let him see it. This time, I'm going to a different gynae and his ultrasound machine seems more sophisticated. I'm so anxious yet afraid to go for my visit, it's so much close to christmas that I'm afraid I'm gonna spend xmas feeling miserable :( Plus we're all be getting together at my mil on christmas for lunch and I'm already expecting some comments like...oh, it's another boy....and I'll probably be screaming inside!Quote:

I have a feeling though that I will have a rough idea next week as I will def be looking for a nub. If they offer to guess I will say yes but generally they dont at my local hospital. Every time I have had an ultrasound he has looked like a boy to me (not based on any theory just looked male ha ha ha). At least once I know I can try and get over it. I hate the not knowing.Quote:

Well ladies, I'm having to cancel my early gender scan. DH's company (he works in welding) is so busy & has put him on 12 hours days for a few weeks so he can't have the day off anymore. So we are just going to wait until the 18 week scan on Jan 3rd! I'm a touch disappointed but with such a huge difference in accuracy rates it may be for the best. So now I'm counting down till January 3rd hehe! It's still not that far away. I will be 18+3!
I am 10 and half weeks now - how do I get a pregnancy ticker? Worries me that I now only feel tired and not how it was and not as sick eitherQuote:

also did my opk digi to see if that really worked and I have several left and got a big smily face:)
trying to remember when I started having symptoms but don't really have any now besdies being hungry but I'm always hungry lol. just glad to see the + still
Atsaukina I kept taking tests for weeks after I got a BFP just to make sure lol. Glad it's still positive for ya.
Onelastdream. I'm sure it's just because you are nearing the second trimester and that fairy is getting ready to make you feel glowing and wonderful. She better be real ;) I need her lol although I myself am feeling a lot better than a week or two ago and I am 10+6 so similar to you. Think it's normal
Just wanted to pop in real quick and say hello! I'm lurking and reading, but feeling awful, so not much to say today. Hopefully I'll be able to chat more once these headaches go away. But in the meantime...hello! Glad everyone seems to be doing pretty well! :)
Well the heartburn kicked in this week. It was my constant frienemy from about 20 weeks last time so I hope it is not here to stay this early. I have already joked with DH that I must be carrying Pat Mustards baby :)
Hope you start to feel much better soon xQuote:

crossing fingers i get luckier this time-
Well it seems that we are all going through the same things...overproducing vaginas, nausea and or vomiting, gender disappointment thoughts and fears, exhaustion, and being woken up by our kids at ungodly times of the morning, lol. On top of that I also have excessive saliva that is driving me crazy! So I have a friend who is about 5 weeks ahead of me and she SWEARS she is having a girl. She probably is :rofl: Anyway...she did the needle on a string test a few days ago and it circled for her and the first time it circled for me. Well she did it again and it circled for her and did the pendulum for me. So everyone has recently found out about my pregnancy and they are saying I will have a girl. She keeps putting my fire out by saying we did the string test and it said girl for her and boy for me. I just hate that she keeps dashing my hopes and I really don't have much to begin with :tissue: Should I say anything or just forget it happened?
sorry:( do you feel a big difference between carrying twins and singles? is every prego feeling doubled??

Hi praying, was wondering if you were ok.Quote:

Chin up luv. People are so insensitive when it comes to gender she probably has no idea how much she is upsetting you x
I've just had a thought. Tell her she has to go pee on some cabbage for the red cabbage test. There is a 50 50 chance it will say boy as it has no science behind it and in my opinion the most useless of the old wive tales. Then you can keep mentioning that she must be having a boy whenever she mentions your ring test result. A bit harsh perhaps ;)
3boys...I love it, lol. Yeah I didn't say anything to her at work today. I don't think I mentioned that we work together. But I'm kind of over it now. I think I felt that she was saying it because she felt she had more of a chance for a girl than me. Yes I'm doing ok 3boys. I have just been so tired and queasy. Plus I'm in school so I haven't been around much but I have been following you ladies. How have you been dear?Quote:

I have only told my family yet and they all have already written off any chance of me having a girl and my SIL has even saidQuote:

This same SIL is currently 36 weeks pregnant, doesn't know what she is having but is convinced that it is a boy, even to the point of saying that if a girl comes out she won't believe that it is hers, And I think that there is a really good chance that she will have a girl. She got pregnant 6 weeks after a miscarriage at 10 weeks, She is over weight and went on a strict diet after the miscarriage and lost 10lb, and was on the diet until she was 6 weeks pregnant (when she found out). Her and her DH both guzzle the diet coke like it is going out of fashion, she doesn't eat any dairy or dairy substitutes. But in spite of all this she will probably still get the son she dreams of.
And by the way the ring test told me that DD was a boy. In fact all the old wives tales of pregnancy told me that DD was a boy.
And in regards to the heartburn my DD was born with loads of jet black hair, about 4 inches long. She is a blondie now though, and I had the heartburn for 1/2 the pregnancy with her. I carried a bottle of gaviscon advanced around with me the whole time.
So sorry you had to cancel your scan. Well actually at 18weeks they'll definately be more accurate :)Quote:

Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad Mum23boys.
I know that paracetamol is safe then maybe have some warm water with lemon juice, ginger and honey for a comforting drink. Hope you feel better soon
Praying, I'm good thanks Hun. My MS has got so much better since I've been on the anti nausea tablets. I have my NT scan in a weeks time which I am very excited about, just praying that babe is ok.
Mom23 sorry to hear you are ill. Hope you feel better soon.
Pearl one of my best friends who had one girl already fell pregnant and was convinced she was having a little boy. She drank diet coke what seemed like all day and lost weight near to conceiving and she was slimming for her wedding. She had a boy!!! Go figure!! It's not fair how some people just manage a pigeon pair so easily. She keeps saying to me, you should totally have a girl next! I mean yeah right as if I can choose (why have I not thought of this sooner).
Afm I've got the cold from hell and feeling very sorry for myself. I have so much housework and no motivation to get off my bum and do it.
Mum! Tylenol if you have a fever, I had hand foot and mouth disease super early this preg and my doc stressed that I make sure I keep a fever down! So sorry your so sick!! I hope it passes quick!Quote:

For sure!! January is going to be a big month for us ladies i think! Hopefully start the new year off right hehe. I am just so anxious. DH and I really feel its a girl but I just want to hear it so I can actually get excited about it!!Quote:

mum- sorry girl hope it is one of those 1 day deals
vit c, apple cider vinegar/water gargle, soup, and rest
My son was born almost bald, just a few fine hair and I used to have heartburn from as soon as I was 4 months. I couldn't eat anything and even water used to start heartburn. I think the baldness/hairy baby is all a myth. My mom always suffered from severe heartburn when having all us four and we were all bald :) Actually I like bald babies :)Quote:

I think that on the whole I'm feeling so and so, but better than I was.And something I really saw a difference lately is constipation...I noticed that since stopping taking Folic Acid I'm going to the toilet more often and stools are softer, sorry tmi. I am minaging to go to toilet without taking any medicine to help. Seems that symptoms are starting to subside...Yay! I'm gonna be 13 weeks next Sunday. I think next Monday I'll tell everyone at work that I'm pregnant :)Quote:

Geez that folic acid seems to be a pretty big culprit to our symptoms, I don't think I've noticed a difference since stopping it! I'm not really having that problem this pregnancy like I did my last. I eat A LOT more fruit and vegetables with this one so I think that's why! That'll be fun telling everyone! I found it nice to kinda get it off my chest, no more hiding!Quote:

Yeah Pearl I really don't put stock into all of that stuff. I guess it just bothered me more that SHE did put stock into it to the point of saying that I would get a boy and she would get a girl just because the test said so. The bad part is I could be one of those people who wants to get a girl and for HER to get a boy. BUT she is my friend and I honestly would be crushed if I had to tell her I was pregnant with a girl after finding out she is pregnant with a boy. She will find out first so I really do hope she gets her girl. I hope we all get our desired genders!!!Quote:

Anyone else having a nail growth spurt?
I'm glad you ladies are starting to feel better. I too am feeling like the nausea is subsiding. I still have my days though. I just can't wait to start feeling better all around. Poor DH hasn't been getting any these days because I am just SO tired and unwell. Oh well...as my mom always says...this too shall pass.
Ok ok really starting to get a little freaked out about next week now. Been looking on YouTube and I'm very good at nub guessing video's. I don't want to know yet!! I want to be in total boy denial over Christmas! What am I going to do?? I can't cancel scan because the NT scan in my opinion is important. And I can't not look at the scan, I want to see my baby. I wish I never ever ever learnt the nub theory, it ruined my pregnancy with DS3 as well as I knew straight away he was a boy. grrrrrrrr
I'm stressing myself out. Need some chocolate NOW ;)
