Shann, I'm sorry that you're having so much uncertainty. It really sucks, I know.
XX - Well done, 4 under 7!! :agree: Hopefully the potty training will go smoothly.
I can totally relate about the comments. I'm just honest with people when I say my 4th wasn't planned, then they usually just smile understandingly. I guess if you actually plan for a no.4 or 5, people will make more inappropriate comments. :rolleyes:
Thinking about you Shan! I'm so sorry you're going through the waiting game. I've been there and know it's brutal. FX for you!

We went and had our 12 week scan done yesterday and everything looked great! She was being a gymnast in there and flipping all around. My OB got a look between the legs and said there was "the hamburger sign" confirming the bloodwork that it is a girl! I am super relieved that everything looks good and we are telling our parents this weekend. They will be so excited - first girl for grandparents on either side.
Yay gymone! That must have been great seeing the confirmation! I can't wait to hear about your parents' reactions! Enjoy [emoji175]!

Okay, so I'm quite miserable. We are going through custody issues right now and my hormones are making me extremely weepy and negative :( it is so unlike me. I"m usually very optimistic and can gather myself after I have a good cry, but man I've been useless for days now.
I can't eat anything and I find it difficult to cook due to everything smelling so strong and have only been able to stomach rice, bread,oranges and lemons. I had some peanut butter on my toast and I could taste mold :worry:.
I also got a coffee/tea replacement called dandy blend and I haven't even opened it because the thought of a hot beverage makes me want to gag.
I haven't thrown up or anything, which is great, but this fatigue and food aversion is killing me. I wish I could justget hooked up to an IV so I don't have to worry about food or taste anything. /rant over.
Shann, hope you get some answers, hang in there <3
For those of you who got scans recently, I'm so happy everyone got good news :)
I'm sorry that everyone is feeling so terrible. :( I've never felt this bad at 5 weeks before. Even in my HG pregnancy I only threw up twice at 5 weeks.
Hang in there ladies! My heart goes out to you! I still feel ick but it's not near as bad as is was 4.5 weeks ago.
I hope you all can find some relief soon!

Excellent xx! I can imagine u will be much more comfortable with just one mortgage now !
Hope everyone's enjoying the weekend - the past two days I have felt so much better which is great - nowhere near as much nausea and feel a little more energised !
Also me &I hubby actually managed to dtd (as the last time was on conception 6 weeks ago...poor hubby!!!) I just couldn't face it but yesterday I took advantage and went for it haha!
Cosmo I've also had bad aversions to food this time and smells make me feel sick , also like u had hot drinks make me gag haven't had any for weeks but I have the past couple of days felt better so hang in there it does get better xx

Thank you for thinking of me <3
Emotionally, I'm doing a bit better today. DH took me to the farmers market and I got a case of navel oranges(80 oranges! lol), ginger cookies and candied ginger.
I feel so thirsty all day long, but I can't stomach much water and I'm afraid of all the carby stuff I've been having. Don't want GD to creep up on me so I'm hoping this passes soon.
Have you all experienced prolonged food aversions for the entire pregnancy? I haven't had a single leafy green in over a week now or any vegetables for that matter.
I had a coffee aversion that lasted my whole pregnancy with DS1-3.
This pregnancy, I've had a fruit aversion to all fruits besides bananas. They either taste horribly sour or like cough syrup [emoji20]. It started from week 4 and is still going strong at week 11. Oddly enough, I can eat any vegetable without getting sour stomach or heartburn. This is the first pregnancy that I can eat any vegetable I want without repercussions!
I hope you can find healthy foods you can eat soon! It's so hard to change or give up foods that you love to eat! I really miss my fruit [emoji20]!

How about that housing market XX? Here in the area of Iowa I'm in it's crazy and everything is selling. Making it hard to find a good house :(
Here in Central Illinois, there are a lot of houses for sale and are finally getting sold. I feel like here it is more of a buyers market instead of a sellers market.
Hopefully you can find something soon!

I feel you ladies. I haven't eaten so unhealthily in my life. Well, except for my last pregnancy.
I'm constantly filled with remorse and guilt over my food choices but it's the only thing that doesn't make me gag! Nothing even remotely healthy I can even look at! This is horrible. But I'm thankful I'm not vomiting all day of course, and the last 2 days have been much better with nausea I must say. But these food aversions are killing me. Coffee makes me gag and I LOVE coffee.
Wake me up when I'm 12 weeks please.
Happy you're doing a touch better cosmosis, and that you offloaded your other house XX!

Cosmo, I definitely had food aversions my entire pregnancy with DS1. Even when the vomiting and nausea subsided for a few weeks in the middle, the aversions stayed. It was hard.
I also developed a couple of aversions during my first pregnancy that never went away. I no longer like the smell of coffee or ginger snaps. Taste of coffee is fine (unless I'm pregnant), and other foods with ginger are fine. But I don't like either anymore, and before that pregnancy I did.
So who's the next person for a scan?
Or is anyone else having a harmony / nipt test done?
They're £400 here in the U.K. So il be waiting for a good nub picture instead hopefully!

Congrats on selling your house xx you must be relieved and delighted!!! I'm the opposite can't eat any rubbish or I have a pain in my stomach .. I had a piece of choc Yst and had a pain in my belly for the rest of the day. I've a scan on Tues BB can't wait, only 10 weeks though so probably too early for a nub shot, anything I should ask in there, not great at this stuff 😃 x

Oh exciting your scan is Tuesday ! I'm waiting for my letter to come through for my 12 week scan but should be first week of April .
The only fruit I'm eating is bananas with my toast of a morning that's all I can handle fruit wise ! And vegetables ...yuk! I can stomach peppers onions mushrooms but not leafy greens or carrots :(

I can't get enough apples into me ... and craving ice lollies since the sun came out so off to the store to stock up! I told a little white lie to get an early scan because I was dying to see bubs but regretting it now because I won't have the 12 week scan and nub to look at ... going to book a private one at 16 weeks but have to wait ages... that's what I get for lying 😀

My next scan won't be until last week of April/first of May....

Hi ladies, hope everyone is feeling as well as they can be. I haven't had any food aversions but I have noticed the slightest nausea coming and going throughout the day. If I paid close enough attention, I'm sure I'd realize how it correlated with when I ate. It's not bad at all.
In my past pregnancies I never had a scan until my 20 week scan! She always just used the Doppler in the office and all was good. I didn't know any different. I got a scan at 6 weeks this pregnancy because of the miscarriage last fall. Anyway, I doubt I'll get another scan until 20 weeks so I will most likely be doing the Harmony (I think that's the one she offered me last time). I'm 6w5d today. When is the earliest you can do Harmony?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The earliest that you can do any NIPT is 9 weeks, although my hospital recommends 10 weeks.

I'm doing better MS wise- I still feel ick once a day usually at night. What has changed is I feel exhausted all the time. I could sleep all day. I'm going to try exercising again to see if that gives me more energy, or makes me more tired 🤣!
I hope everyone is doing well!

I feel like my gender scan is so far away it's annoying me !! Wish the harmony was more affordable - at least u can have that Roe and have confidence baby is all ok too I wish they were cheaper here in UK.
Good luck with the exercise XX - I keep wanting to start again but also cannot find the energy hopefully it'll come back soon!

NIPT is totally not in the budget for me either. I wish it was.
I doubt I'll have a scan until the NT, and then the anatomy at around 18 weeks. I think I'll book a private scan at 16 to try to get a sneak peek. Honestly though, I'm sure it's a boy.
When will you schedule your gender scan and how many weeks will you be then?
Since I'm over 35 (I'm 37), my hospital prefers to have is done close to 20weeks. I'm going to try to have it done at 18-19 weeks. I feel that's not too early for them and earlier than 20 weeks for me! That's puts it either the first or the second week in May!

I feel the same as you Fox. I have to believe this is a boy, because I don't want to be disappointed. I have never been before, and I will have to be strong for my DH. It helps that I'm excited about our boy names. We only have one girl name so far and it's starting to grow on me.
I just can't help but feel like so many people online and IRL are getting their DG, and I won't. I mean, someone has to have an opposite. While I had a much better sway this time around compared to my last sway, I've seen far to many people with awesome sways get opposites and people with just decent sways get their DG. I just feel like I've had too much good fortune lately- moved into a much larger, nicer house, I got pregnant after thinking it wasn't going to happen, and we sold our old house for a fair price. I just hope there is enough good fortune left for my DH to get his DG.
Here's to hoping and praying we all get our DG 🤞🏻[emoji1317]!

XX.. you are such a decent person and a kind soul that sometimes the universe brings that karma right back your way.. you could be having all this good fortune just because of how amazing YOU are.. and could still get your DD too :)
Brilliant words right there ^^^ for u XX - u seem a very kind loving family person and deserve a daughter to complete your family - I was just having a chat with my husband and said il just be upset if this isn't my daughter that that's it book closed I'll never have a girl and that is what's hard to accept .
I think boy for me most of the time - then il have a really bad day of nausea and think it's gotta be a girl so who knows !

Awe, you ladies are too kind! I have no intuition and no gut feelings about what the gender is. I've learned from past pregnancies to not focus on symptoms or how you are carrying to predict gender. However, this pregnancy is completely different from the rest from symptoms to heart rate, to how I'm carrying. It's to be expected though- I've never had a vanishing twin before and this is my fourth pregnancy so I'm bound to carry differently. I think the safest thing for me to do is to suspend all judgement, because I won't be giving myself false hope or a false sense of security.
It helps that I don't have any gut feelings or intuition, and of course you ladies for me to confide in [emoji6][emoji4]! I don't know what I would have done without all of you on so many levels! [emoji8]❤️!

Good afternoon ladies :) lot's of catching up to do here.
XX, *big hugs* I can totally understand how you feel. You did everything you could and you did a wonderful job with your sway, try to keep positive about things and just the way you accepted that this is a boy, I encourage you to accept that this is a girl also. This will leave you more at peace.
Have any of you looked into EFT? It is short for "emotional freedom technique", aka, tapping. It really works wonders, and especially in cases where there is resistance, fear and anxiety. I haven't sat down to do it in a while, but it really does help.
I'm thinking of getting a private scan at 14 weeks just to see how many are in there and possibly get a nub shot. I won't be getting any other scan or the harmony test, so that would be the closest I'd get to gender reveal, if anything.
I'm having some sharp pains with a little cramping today and of course, it has me a bit worried.
When do you ladies usually stop sleeping on your tummy?
