Due in March/April/May 2013 Roll call!

Hi,

I'm cautiously popping over here as still don't quite believe I have a bfp until after the day my af is due!

According to my last af my due date would be the 17th April, but based on when I ovulated and bd my due date would be the 21st April.

I'm feeling fairly nauseous and tired at the moment and my stomach feels bloated. I had awful sickness with ds2 and not much with ds1 so I'm not really taking that as an indication of gender. No 12 week scan over here either so I have to wait until the 18-20 week one to see if bean is going to reveal its gender to us.

How do you get the pregnancy ticker in your signature? x

Mummypink congrats on your bfp

Princess its so hard, I'm not giving myself any hope too that this is my dd :(
We'll see I suppose!

I had the worse night sleep ever last night, had a lovely pasta dish for dinner with probably too much sodium and felt nauseous all night long and this morning but thankfully wasn't sick but kept me wake it was so horrible!
Xx

Congrats mummypink on your bfp :) hope u have a happy and healthy 9mths xx

Thank you! :) I still don't quite believe it and am on knicker watch expecting my af to start at any time.

It's weird after putting so much work/ research into swaying that now all we can do is sit back and wait. I'm really glad that the 18-20 week scan will fall in November though so hopefully at least by the end of this year we should know what gender we are having (for those that want to find out).

I am so nervous at telling people! My mum knows we are trying as does my bf but I know dhs family are going to be surprised and think we are crazy. Seriously not looking forward to the 'oh you hoping for a girl' comments either! xxx

I'm having a moment right now.....I'm in the middle of making a peppa pig cake for a lady and I'm getting abit emotional thinking I'm never going to make a pink girly cake for my own daughter :( I hate GD one min I'm ok and think yes I'm gonna be fine with another son but there's another part of me soooo desperate for a little girl! I should just be grateful I'm having a baby regardless of gender grrrr hate being in my head!!

I know the feeling well hun, fine one minute but not the next. I wish i could just get over the GD but know it's not that easy. I have such a good relationship with my mum and when growing up knew i wanted the same with my daughter.

Just seen your from Norfolk, not too far from me. I'm on the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk border. Hows the pepper pig cake coming along? I said i'd make my ds2 a fire engine cake this year, and no idea what i'm doing, lol. Better start practicing soon, at least i can eat it now :bigsmile:

Congratulations again mummypink!!!!!

I was exactly the same, like somehow i didn't belong here. I'm still in shock and don't believe it after the years i've spent planning my sway, lol.

I can't believe you don't get a scan till your nearly 20 weeks, how unfair!

Thanks Wishing4Pink, huge congrats to you as well. :)
Yep I know very unfair. I live over in Norway (although originally from Yorkshire, UK) and you get a 18-20 week scan and then you get another one at about 32 weeks to check the babies position etc.

There are so many of us on here swaying pink, it is going to be really interesting to see what percentage of us achieves our desired gender. Fingers cross we get 100% success!! xx

Attachment 4008

Not baby related but heres the cake I finished it was taken last night so not a great pic but its pink and sparkly....I have to admit I'm finding it difficult to make the cakes now I can't bare the smell or look of them not a great job to hav when your pregnant!

I have a fire engine cake instructions if u need help just say and I'll email u the info hun :) Oh you don't live far away at all gotta love good ole Norfolk/Suffolk :)

Ah mummy that sucks having to wait so long for a scan :(
Xx

Love the cake!!!! You guys aren't that far away from me either in NC!

I love how many ppl we have joining us! Mummypink - I would die if I didn't get a scan until 18 weeks! OMG...that is awful! It is about to kill me to get to my 8 week scan.

This is exactly how I am! I tell myself my boys would love a brother and I love the thought of imagining them with another boy, but then I shift back to wanting a DD soo bad. My grandmother was such a huge part of our family and she passed like 10 years ago, but I think about her every day and all that she did for me, my mom, my sister, cousin, etc. We were all women and I just want some part of that too!

Wow princess your cake is amazing!!!!!

Fantastic cake princess! :)

Thanks my loves :) the lady just picked it up and was really pleased...phew that was worth all my gaging last night lol x

Princess that cake is awesome! Do you have a cake making business?

I will have a 12 week scan and then another around 18-20 weeks.
I haven't been to the doctors yet either so will make an appointment for next week, dreading all the blood tests they take on that first appointment.

We told 2 of our close friends this morning so that was nice and they were pretty excited. Makes it feel a bit more real. Still haven't told the kids or anyone else though.

I've been teasing myself by looking at heaps of baby girl clothes online. We've also been talking about finding out the gender and I think i'm leaning towards finding out. I love shopping for baby things so it will make it all more exciting and even if it's another boy we will buy all new clothes as we got rid of most things after DS2 grew out of them.

I was finally brave enough to do a clearblue digital test and get a very fast BFP so definitely definitely pregnant! :D
I'm only 1 day past when my af was due and have never had such an early BFP on a clearblue test so I'm hoping that is a good sign for a sticky bean.

How is everyone feeling? I've been waking to cramps every morning and feeling very tired and a bit nauseous. My mood has not been good either so I am having to seriously count to 10 when my boys are being naughty and pushing all the buttons.
Think I will give the midwife a call tomorrow and make an appointment, it may all seem a bit more real then! x

I've been doing the same Ruby! I was looking at summer sale stuff for my boys in the shops yesterday and couldn't help but have a peek at the girls stuff. So cute! I'm hoping to find out the gender at the scan, a surprise would be nice but I have no will power and if it is another boy I would rather have a day or so of feeling a bit sad at not having a daughter and then get on with looking forward to having another little boy. Shopping is definitely good therapy so I'm planning on buying some super cute new outfits even if we have another boys. :) x

hi ladies,
i posted when i got my accidental bfp, but there were no responses! there should be some nub guesses soon here correct??
h&h 9 months to everyone!

Welcome Janie!When are you due and I will add you to the list!! congrats on your accidental BFP!

Welcome janie, how are you feeling? Xx

Hi Janie,

Congrats! When is your scan date?

I don't get a 12 week scan unfortunately so no nub guesses for me but I'm looking forward to my 18-20 week scan. :)

hi everyone,
my nub scan is in two weeks, but meanwhile i have been OBSESSING with the ramzi theory. i am actually quite surprised it does not get more attention around here with all of us gender obsessed ladies!
anyone else willing to pull out old ultrasounds? i didn't get any early ones with DS1 and 2 so i cant compare.
i have a gut feeling it is another little boy though. :happy:
i am due MArch 13.

ruby yep i have a cake making business but really thats not a good thing right now as i cannot bare to be around cake omg!!!

congrat mummy on your defo bfp :) im feeling so sick....ive never been this bad in my life its terrible, iam basically living off bananas, apples water and toasted muffins!!! i cannot bare to be near cake choc or bread (unless its french stick or toasted muffins lol) i no i shouldnt but i keep hanging on to the hope that as this preg is so different to my boy pregs that this could be my little girl?? shouldnt get my hopes up really!!

welcome janie and big congrats on your BFP :) xxxx

how is everyone feeling??
xx

Whats the Ramzi theory? Not heard of that one!

I made my GP and midwife appointment today so all feeling more real! I've got majorly sore boobs at the moment which feel huge (but really aren't as I'm only an A cup lol! ;)). I've been feeling like I need to snack all the time but I'm not actually that hungry, I cooked a Sunday roast yesterday and hardly felt like eating anything. My skin is awful too and when I was drying my hair this morning I started getting hot flushes and feeling dizzy so had to sit down on the bed. So nice getting pregnancy symptoms, I just hope I don't get as bad sickness as I did with ds2!

Out of interest what has your morning sickness been like with previous pregnancies?

With ds1 I had a kind of travel sickness feeling all the time and my sense of smell went through the roof so I wasn't eating loads but I wasn't being sick. With ds2 I just couldn't keep anything down, I was sick all the time until about 16 weeks and it got to the stage where my midwife signed my dh off work so he could look after ds1 so I could have a couple of days rest. I was convinced I was having a girl with ds2 as a result but I've since read that how sick you are has no relation to what gender you are carrying. :)

Ramzi isn't that a theory on which side of your womb the baby implants on?? Think you have to have a really early scan to tell! I think left side is girly right side for a boy????? X

Lovely cake hbp!!! I'm so sorry your feeling sick, hope it passes quickly for you.

Welcome Janie, congrats on your surprise bundle!

I used a clearblue digi at the weekend to help me believe it, oh is slightly in shock that it worked lol. Not having too many symptoms yet but it is early days. Having hot flushes, dizzy if i stand up too quickly and not bothered about eating really.

Hope everyone is ok x

Wow that sounds really hard to determine!

I read up! It's to do with the placenta and which side it implants on, left for girls right for boys and only can be determined on a 6-8 week scan! Yeah so a pretty tricky one!! xx

hi ladies,
it looks like almost everyone swayed girl! i had started my girl sway about 3 weeks before i suspect i got pregnant. get this- my whole life i have ovulated +/- 2 days. i took my usual opk, and it turned positive, right around when i expected to ovulate. no bd for almost 2 weeks after that since i like to play it safe. turns out i think the diet delayed my o for 2 weeks! argh! so i was planning on swaying pink but i don't think i did it long enough to count.
Yes, Ramzi is all about placental attachment. there was somebody on ingender who got quite good at reading the ultrasound pics and was pretty accurate in her guesses. i wish we had someone over here who could read the ultrasounds correctly. has to be ultrasound bw 6-8 weeks.

I'm due April 12th...I didn't really sway but if I had to guess I'd say boy. I'm a natural at HE diet, I wouldn't have to change a thing.

Been suffering through a NASTY case of metallic mouth...I've heard others talk about this pregnancy symptom but it's new to me. YECH.

Yay Anchor! Glad you found us!!! Sorry about metal mouth!

I'm getting paranoid today, I woke up for the first morning since around 6dpo without cramps and haven't had any all day. Last night when I was cooking dinner I felt quite nauseous while making the food but was fine when it came to sitting down and eating. I did have a very early night last night so maybe that is why I'm feeling loads better today. My boobs are very sore and I feel bloated and constipated (sorry tmi!) so I do still have pregnancy symptoms.

I guess I just thought I would be feeling more sick today after not feeling so great yesterday ... I hate the first trimester! In fact I hate it until you get to the stage where you can feel them move and have all the reassurance that brings.

How is everyone else feeling? xx

Hi girlys and Welcome anchor :)
I've been feeling soooooo sick but haven't actually been sick!? on the verge of trying to make myself sick in the hope that I'll feel slightly better, and everything I fancy to eat and drink is totally gross aaarrrrgggghhh
Also blotted and such sore boobs/nips sorry tmi! Lol
I hate the first trimester too! xx

Tiffani I'm the same so bloated boobs sore and feel like they're growing by the minute!

I'm on night shift at work for the next 2 weeks and I'm so tired I feel like I'm constantly going to vomit. Bleurgh..

Ladies...I am so worried! I had spotting last night. It seems to have stopped but makes me sooo nervous. I am going to call the doc today to see if they can get me in to do some labs or something. I just hate having this fear and I a so paranoid that I have to check like every hour. UGHHH!

Aw beachy o know I've already said this on the other thread, but try not to worry to much hun spotting is very common and I'm sure everthing is fine! Have u called the drs yet? Xx

Hello ladies, pleased to join you on this group. I'm due April 11,swayed girl and hoping it worked:rolleyes:
I'm almost 6w, and we haven't told anyone yet, especially I don't feel like telling my mom or my MIL, so I won't have to deal with nasty remarks,KWIM? I also haven't made an appointment to see my
GYN since her office is two blocks away from my parents house and I can't go there without telling my mom...I guess it's inevidable, I'll have to spill the beans next week:hide:

Hey I am due in April not sure of exact date but it is currently set at April 7th. I swayed for Pink!!!!

Welcome Grace and Rosie! So exciting to have so many ladies join our group!

I called the doc and they are going to do some labs today and then again on Friday just to check all my levels and everything. Fingers crossed everything is a-ok!!!

Grace I have yet to tell anyone either. I want to know how far along I am first for sure and to wait until after 8 weeks as well. Luckily my mom doesn't work by my ob-gyn so I am good there :-)

Welcome grace and Rosie xx

NC I hope your ok and not stressing yourself out, fingers and toes crossed everything's good xx
