I had to go back to the ultrasound place this afternoon as one measurement needed rechecking. Of course I was worried something was wrong but everything was fine once they got some clearer shots. It was the nuchal fold that was measuring too high but today it was checked a few times and was fine.
I am so glad she is okay after all purple. Congrats again on getting your Beautiful girl :)
So cute. I thought the heart was a love not a thank so just ignore it lolQuote:

Is 12 weeks too early to hear baby with a Doppler? They scheduled me specifically at that date because they thought I'd be far enough along to hear it. I heard my son's HB at 12 weeks with a Doppler. 😊Quote:

I think you can most times but sometimes it is harder to locate. They have never tried at my booking appointments here which were around 12 to 13weeks. I just remembered my independent midwife did it at 13wks with DS2.Quote:

Most babies can Be heard at the doc office by 10 weeks but I agree waiting for 12 weeks is safest bet. Plus the lower baby implanted the longer it may take
So glad all was well, such a relief! XQuote:

I saw on Nessa84's nub post that she is expecting boy number 2.
It looks like there are only 4 left on the list waiting to find out gender or confirm gender!
Goodness lots of opposites in this group? X
Looks like of the 9 folk that we know swayed only 4 got desired gender, less than half! Only 4 left to find out, x
Yeah 5 opposites to 4 desired genders. I wonder how that compares to other DD threads?
When are the remaining 4 finding out?
Well the swayers are doing better than the non swayers, out of 5 that were "hoping" 4 got opposites...
Interesting way of looking at Cinss, we had quite alot of non swayers!
Am really not sure when we will find out. My dd will have her heart set on having a sister, so I want to tell her we are having a baby and what it is, so we would need to find out soon. Am massive so she will probably guess soon and am sure a family member will let it slip. We are probably going to get the harmony done as I cannot repeat the worry of last pregnancy, but am not sure I want to receive the news of what my baby is via am email or telephone call! :-( after my rescan I am not going to have another scan until Jan, big scan. Cannot wait that long but cannot afford a private scan and harmony.
Gender comments started already, :-( mother in law, never said congratulations or anything but said I hope you give dd the sister she has always longed for! Like it's that easy. I felt sick when she said it, like I have deliberately not given her a sister! X
People can say such stupid things! I still find it annoying my FIL said it better be a granddaughter. Lucky I wasn't there when he said it but I was there whe he complained that DS2 was a boy.
Cinss, good point with the non swayers mostly getting opposites. I do still believe swaying will tip the odds in favour of your desired gender but obviously it's not 100%.
Welp. It's here. The day of my prenatal appointment. I go in at 3:15pm (pacific). They will try to find the HB with a doppler, and I'll be getting my Verifi blood test to look for genetic disorders and find out gender. It will be about a week from today (maybe slightly longer) before I get the results, I am assuming.
I just want baby to be alive. I want to hear their heartbeat!!
Lissa dont get hopes too up about this but with verifi they have a good history of getting results back pretty quickly. blood drawn on a monday and i had results by friday afternoon :) may be the same for you!
good luck and i am sure baby will give you a good heartbeat and if not im sure they will look for one with the machine and that just means you get to see baby again!
Anyone that can help...really struggling here.
I am really 'wired' right now. I dont know thats the proper term. Maybe anxious IS the right term its just when someone thinks about anxiety on a normal basis im not sure this is what they picture. But im very edgy, extremely irritated and frustrated and real fast to go from 0-100. i had a panic attack waiting for a prescription for DD3, hyperventilating and crying. I havent had this in any of my other pregnancies. My blood pressure is elevated but OB says textbooks say i am not far enough along for it to be pre eclampsia or anything like that. And its not sky high or anything like that to be fair. But i feel like i am totally losing my shit. I cant live like this and so i am desperate. ive tried meditation, calming music, "me time" (not sure i can really get that right now with a sick baby though) but i cant wipe stuff off my plate today to loosen the stress hold...I have got to get this bedroom cleaned and scrubbed down and then because DH is a slob i'll have a ton of pop cans and dishes to do in the kitchen.
I literally sat in the car at the pharmacy screaming and beating my steering wheel because the guy ahead of me was there in the pick up line for 30 FREAKING MINUTES. 30 MINUTES. 3 cars in the other lane (which i was too far pulled ahead to switch into) left before he left. Its like he waited in the drive through, meant for fast pick up, for them to FILL HIS PRESCRIPTION. HOLY. CRAP.
I feel like a tv or movie joke. I know this is the running joke of what pregnant women are always like but i have never had this pregnant or not. I genuinely feel so heavy in my chest i swear i am dying. And if i call my OB i only see negative outcomes coming from this...worst of which is i'll be committed because thats what i feel like at this moment is a crazy person.
help.
Burakoam that sounds like anxiety to me. What has helped me is walking, calamile tea, hypnotherapy and also anti depressants (if it doesn't go away). Breathing techniques can help too and also reducing sugar and caffeine from the diet. Pregnancy hormones can make everything harder to cope with.
On another note... you have drive through pharmacies?? How handy is that! All we have here is drive through fast food, bottle shops and some mini convenience stores.
Goodluck today Lissastick!!
Probably going to try the tea Purple...thank you.
Goodluck Lissastick
Lissa how did it go? :)
Hi Ladies, I am here to join your due date group. I swayed girl, but think I am having a boy, the tech at the 12week NT scan said boy, but didnt give me any nub shots or anything worth while to obsess over, then at the 16 week scan the baby had its cord perfectly between its legs so we couldn't even get a potty shot. At this stage I just want a confirmed potty shot so I know for definite and can move on and stop obsessing. It has taken me a while to join I was waiting to get over my GD as I went through a pretty dark period, but now I can feel baby kicks and have started shopping for gender neutral items and am back to being excited about having another baby regardless of gender.
My due date is 06/04/2017 and I get to have my 20 week scan on the 24 November so just a few more weeks and then we can know for definite.
Hi ladies, I am here to join your due date thread. My due date is 06 April 2017. I swayed girl, but I think it is a boy. The cord was between the legs at 16weeks so we can only find out at the end of the month. I have been waiting to find out before joining but still don't know for definite, but already had GD as the 12 week NT scan tech said more than likely a boy. Anyway I have started feeling kicks and am back to being excited about having another baby regardless of gender.
I heard the heartbeat!!! Strong heartbeat! Baby is ok!
I wasn't able to get the blood test because of insurance issues. Hopefully I can get it next week...but we might just be waiting for the anatomy scan in December or January.
Seems like torture to me to wait that long, though!

Fantastic news Lissastick, delighted for you. Shame about the blood test, am going to pay to get the harmony test, no way I could wait until 21 weeks to find out, that's when I have my big scan! X
Thats great news Lissastick!
Are you feeling any better today Burakoam?
Sort of cinss...thank you for asking. I think my estrogen is way higher than normal for some reason this pregnancy and that's why I feel so crazy. Normally my breasts hurt early pregnancy then by mid pregnancy that has disappeared... well instead I still have morning sickness, and my breasts JUST started to hurt within the last week. That with the flare up in anxiety.. who knows what's going on. I probably just have a very fiery spirited baby.. I felt her move alot the day of my ultrasound and haven't felt her since.. been 10 days and not so much a nudge.. wish I was well off enough to have my own ultrasound machine...
That does sound possible, horemones are crazy sometimes. My boobs never normally hurt during pregnancy but this time my nipples are super sensitive its really annoying and painful. It won't be long till your little bub is kicking away in there letting you know shes awake every day, I love how eventually we can play with our bumps by giving it a gentle poke and waiting for one back.
Lissa I'm so glad you heard a heart beat!!!!! How exciting!!! How early can you get a gender scan? Most of the OBs where I live won't do them before 18 weeks and even if they do, they won't confirm a gender until after 16 weeks[emoji30] Is your morning sickness better?

Burakoam, you seriously just nailed how I have been feeling! For me, I think it is a mix of depression and anxiety. I know at the time I'm in a funk that I am being irrational, but I can't seem to snap out of it. I have become so outspoken and blunt that I am worried I'm going to get myself into trouble by saying the wrong thing to someone at work lol! I have not felt like this with any of my pregnancies, if we didn't know this baby was a boy I would swear he was a girl just from my emotional state haha! I want to ask my OB about anti-depressants next week at my appt but I am afraid I will break down and start bawling in front of him. Times like this I wish I had gone to a female OB, I think they would be more understanding. I have a history of mild anxiety and have been on meds before for it, but I really don't want to take anything while I'm pregnant. I hope you can find something that helps! Maybe I'll have to try some of the ideas posted. Just know you're not crazy or alone and it made me feel a little better to read that you're going through the same thing as me...because I was feeling totally nuts lol!!!Quote:
