I think I might be next to find out. Had my bloods last monday so I should get the results late this week/early next week. I havent really thought about it much but I keep dreaming about them calling me! I still think I might break our pink run. Send me all your pink dust!
Awe! I have some pink dust for you [emoji92][emoji178][emoji254][emoji178][emoji94]! Hang in there! I know the wait can be tough!

I'm breaking out a ton! Nausea is finally better but not totally gone, if I dont eat every 2 hours I'll be sick.
Excited for those left to find out!

Well I finally had my first scan today (at 14wks 2 days). My EDD still the same.
I can't tell the nub at all - have absolutely no idea. Do any of you know or are legs in the way? The skull looks boyish to me :(, but then looking back on all my boys' ultrasound pic skulls - they're all different, ds1 is flatter than flat, ds2 super round, ds3 a mixture - more like this one. Gosh I so hope it's a girl, but I have big feeling of dread...
Yes, I think leg must have been in the way. I really don't understand either nub or skull theory tbh. I have googled the former and looked through a tonne of pictures and can't really see any difference! Ah well, just have to wait another few weeks to find out...
Placenta anterior again, which I really didn't want. Have had two of my three boys the same, and back to back, overdue, horrific labours. The only one who had posterior placenta was the right way around and such an easy, pleasant labour! I just feel - girl diet, bad all day sickness & another back to back - I really deserve my girl!!! I know it doesn't work that way.
My nausea has mostly gone, except in the evenings, thank goodness. I am back on the coffee and chocolate during the day. Haven't had any skin break outs and leg hair seems to be growing faster if that's possible - so don't know if that's a bad sign...
The two of you who posted bump pics, were you always that slim or did you lose a load of weight for the girl diet? My tummy is huge in comparison (too embarrassed to post), but I think it's because I'm a lot fatter than you!
Good morning ladies!
I have a big concern and I hope I can explain things well.
We recently moved to a temp place as our current place is under renovation and I wanted some peace and quiet. We had to stay at a hotel for 2 days then switched to a motel with a kitchenette and if you all know anything about that, it means it is in the smoking section :worry:
The place was not well ventilated and they tried to cover up the smell by spraying the carpet HEAVILY and I mean heavily with chemicals. I aired out the place but the air was heavy and I was very concerned for the baby :(
As if it wasn't bad enough, we finally got the place we wanted, its in a great area BUT they also house students here lol. So last night dome idiot decided it was a good idea to have pot smoking party even though the building is strictly non smoking. They were coughing and smoking all night long and it lasted about 12 hours. The air felt thick last night and again, now I'm super worried. It isn't second hand smoke per se, it is more like just the smell as we do have vents and all that, but my chest has felt very uncomfortable for the last 3 days.
I have a midwife appt tomorrow and I will have the heart rate checked, but I couldn't sleep because I was so worried (and angry!).
Ever since I got a BFP, my chest is very sensitive and the slightest scent of any chemical makes me quite ill and makes it difficult to breathe deeply. I have like a light weeze going on all the time... as if I had asthma almost. It is difficult to explain so I hope it makes sense. It is 100% triggered by pregnancy and I didn't have it with DD, so it is new to me.
The landlord sprayed this place down with fabreeze as well, so it could be just that. Maybe it is the chemicals irritating me.
Do I have a real reason to worry? I felt baby moving last night when I was awake, but his/her movements have lessened in the last few days. When we were at the hotel, he was moving non stop. He/she does go through moving spurts though. Ough, motherhood seems to be all about worrying 24-7. >_<
Thoughts?
I'm glad you have an appointment with your midwife. I would definitely have her check you and baby over. You can develop asthma in pregnancy. You may need a referral to an allergy and asthma doctor. I have asthma and it flared up in 2 out 3 pregnancies for me. I have 3 girlfriends who developed it in pregnancy. Hang in there!!

I called my OB, and she wants me to get a scan (yay!!) and see her afterward. I'm sure everything is ok but this will put my mind at ease.

I'm just so relieved to know she is just fine! Also, my placenta is anterior so that is why I only feel her move about 3-4 times a day. I'm so happy [emoji4]!

moves have u had this before ?
Amazing u got to see her again and her little girly bits I can't wait for my scan I swear my harmony is wrong how can I be so lucky xxx

DS2's placenta was anterior and low. It moved enough by the third trimester that it wasn't any concern for delivery, and I think I felt him move more than my other anterior placenta baby because it was so low. :)
lucyandboys, I totally get your concern but I just wanted to say that both my sons had anterior placentas and my labour with DS2 was honestly a dream. Fast, smooth, no complications.
I've had an anterior placenta before with my DS3. It was in the middle and to the left, so I felt him consistently after 16 weeks.
This time, my DD's placenta is fully anterior in the middle. My OB said that it shouldn't pose any problem other than being annoying for feeling movement, haha!
I'm just relieved she is ok!!

This is very much off the current topic... but have any of you experienced like serious anger during your pregnancy?
I have started several fights with several people including DH. Like out of no where. I mean it's valid things that upset me but I don't normally lash out and I feel like I've been lashing out on everyone!
We are going on a climbing trip this weekend with friends and we had a group text going on and I have made it VERY clear to everyone I don't want to take 4 adults and ALL out climbing and camping gear in one sedan 5 hours there and back..
Our guy friend sent the first text and said "so I think it's silly to take 2 cars. So when should we meet up and where?"
Like wtf!?!? Just swooped in and called the shots because he decided it was stupid?!!?!? So I freaked out on everyone on the chat! What is wrong with me!
Then DH called and started lecturing me on being a diva in front of our friends and making us look bad!!! WTFUUUUHHHHHH don't you dare come at me and lecture me like a parent to a child!!!
Anyways.... anyone else experience random outbursts of rage and frustration while pregnant? Def didn't get this way with my daughter..

^^^Yep. With all of my boy pregnancies. Not to give you any false hope, but I got that way with each of them. Me and my DH would jokingly call those episodes "psycho bitch episodes", haha! It was like a train wreck, I knew I was reacting inappropriately in the moment, but I was rendered helpless to stop it. I always felt awful afterward. Except for the time my DH purposely pressed my buttons and I threw a remote at him! It was bad at times, haha! 🤞🏻it means you have a baby boy growing in there!!

This time around it's been more tears and sadness, but especially with DS2 I remember the flashes of rage.
On the other hand, I have no idea how you would fit four adults worth of gear in the trunk of most sedans. In fact, I remember trying with a friend's civic and having to send one pack with the other group who had an SUV, and that was just backpacking gear without the added bulk of climbing gear or bulkier "base camp" gear.
Wow, I don't log in for a few days and all sorts of stuff happens.
XX - glad everything is good with baby girl! Also, thank you so much for fixing the intro page with all of out information. It looks wonderful! :)
I can't wait to see what all of our upcoming gender reveals are!!
AFM - still just as sick as can be. I would probably vomit more if I did not have such a severe anxiety about it and do everything I can to NOT throw up. I still dry heave in the shower a few times a week. I am praying that the motion sickness meds that I got for our trip next week work and I am not sick the whole time. DH and I are going on a cruise to Alaska without the kids. (grandparents are coming up to watch them) We have planned this trip for the past 4 years. I pray I can enjoy it and not spend it in bed green the whole time.
All of the bump pics look beautiful. I started fluffy, so I can't tell what is baby and what is fluff.
Cosmos - I would be concerned too. Glad you have an appointment. My asthma acts up when I am pg as well. And it is difficult for me to breath almost from the start. It can be scary. Hope all is well with you and your little one.
I'm so sorry you are still having MS, Shannshaff! I still dry heave when brushing my teeth or if I eat too big of a meal. I think that is the reason I've only gained 5lbs at almost 19 weeks! I sure hope you can enjoy your trip without being too sick!

Right?! And not to mention my whole life has been "Hannah is the smallest so she can sit in the back in that tiny space we made among luggage" cuz I'm only 5'1"... so I know they won't help me at all and I'm gonna be stuffed among coolers and climbing gear and duffle bags... that is NOT going to fly with my pregnant a**.. I get carsick as is not even being pregnant. It's just 10X worse now. Ugh I'm livid!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Nann - there is no way that will work. Can you offer to just drive yourself and the gear? That way you can not be carsick the whole way. Or remind them that you will puke on all of the gear if they wedge you next to it all. ;)
You have every right to feel the way you do. You're pregnant for crying out loud! This is not the time to shove you in a small space! I would talk to your DH about that because not only is that not safe it's unrealistic! I mean, you're goi g to have to make a few stops along the way to pee, maneuvering around equipment every 15 or so miles is NOT gonna happen!

That is so stressful Cosmo! But I would not be concerned for the baby with the level of exposure you mentioned. I would mention it to the midwife like you plan to but I'm sure things will be just fine.
I hope you can get some rest tonight!
Yes I know those episodes! Unfortunately, it's with my kiddos . Boo. Trying hard to control it. And yeah that trip will not be fun. Tell the other couple to drive and meet up. I'm guessing your DD is not going?
I went to the dentist today and oh man my gums are not happy after that. Then to hear I have two cavities. I never get cavities. It's been years. Frustrating!

I'm SO not sharing a picture! This is my 7th pg and I am so big... at 11w. [emoji51]
I am hoping to have my results from NIPT testing Friday... we both think it's a girl (pro tip from my husband, I only get nicer and nicer when carrying boys... and I'm not getting nicer. [emoji1]).
I stopped eating grain and my nausea improved SO much in 48 hours!! Yayyyyyy! I'll take it!
I have my next appointment in morning. I'm hoping everything goes well. I wonder if they will do an ultrasound? Anywho...Here's my little bump pic at 10 weeks.

I can't figure out why my pics are uploaded sideways UGH its kind of frustrating. On my phone the picture is the right orientation but whenever I post a pic it is sideways!!! Sorry for the rant!
Waiting for your update fiveboys! [emoji1317]

Good morning :)
So, about the rage. YES. TOTALLY ME. I was already quite bossy around the house but it is ridiculous now. I got in several headbutts with MIL (and she is super sweet and we've gotten along well before) and I just lose my cool so very quickly. It is very frustrating and nobody in my household understands it one bit. My husband doesn't buy the hormone thing. It doesn't help my case when I was already quite the moody cow 2 weeks out of the month, and I have never been soft spoken and a Mary Poppins type, but I don't recall every being this way with DD. I can't stand myself sometimes.
It has gotten *slightly* better since the nausea and fatigue went away, but overall, this is how DH describes me:
http://i65.tinypic.com/28k3pso.jpg
Anyway, I hope to hear a healthy heartbeat today. I'm nervous.
Lovely bump pics :) I won't share any because there is no real bump, maybe when I'm in the 3rd tri, God willing.
Oh I bet you are bless u I remember it completely consuming me - lack of sleep due to it and just generally being a bad mum to be honest once I found out I felt so much better as in able to function without it consuming me all the time !!
I hope u find out before close of play tommorow so u don't suffer the weekend without knowing !!
I hope this is you're girl I really do xxx
