Boysway - wow that's so great that strangers think you are glowing :) . I'd love to keep it under wraps until Christmas, but I'm a social drinker and will probably have to start telling people on Thanksgiving (11/27 here). I'm 5 weeks and no outward signs yet here, but last time I got a bad bloat "bump" by 6-7 weeks and expect this one to be no different.
I'm planning on keeping it a secret until Christmas but like you ladies don't know if that's possible. We would like to do the panorama test at 9 weeks so we can tell them the gender at Christmas!
Bluebonnet, I certainly don't feel like I'm glowing especially after coming off my 2nd nightshift with only a few hours sleep, lol. I'm exactly 4 weeks today :) 36 to go, rofl. Not counting of course ;) I'm also expecting a bump early on. Last bub I thought I was having twins because I got big so quickly.

I already had a few friends guess by me not drinking at a wedding. Apparently I am pretty transparent by not boozing it up lol. But I plan on trying to keep it quiet until Christmas. I like to wait until after my 12 week scan.
Who is thinking of getting early prenatal testing? Which test and why did you choose that one and do you know how much it costs? I'm thinking panorama just because you can test at 9 weeks but would live to hear your input!
Me+4...so sorry honey....big tears shed for you. My heart hurts when I see others experience something so sad.
I am so torn on the early prenatal testing. I think its awesome that we can do it & I am certainly eligible by my age, but I just don't think its for me...I can't put a finger on why it doesn't resonate with me, when I am DYING to know the gender...it just doesn't seem like a good fit.
I think I will do better with gradual scans and slow predictions from the ladies on here and then a gender scan at 15 weeks, which is New Year's day.
I feel almost silly admitting this because it would be cool to know sooner....its probably because I am still so anxious about the viability of the pregnancy in general. I have a scan tomorrow, I hope to feel better after that.
Me+4, I am so sorry for your loss. I think you are thinking about all this in a really positive light under the circumstances. I hope you heal very quickly and get preggo with a sticky bean soon.
As for keeping this pregnancy a secret, there is no hope of that for me. I'm puking, my sciatica is making me wince in pain when I stand up and none of my pants fit. Sigh.... I'm definitely not the "glowing" pregnancy that some people describe.

They dont offer any of the fun tests up here we only get the old quad screen. Id kill to know the gender that early. I have a private gender scan booked for 15 weeks on the dot. Thats the earliest anyone around here will do anything.
My OB offers panorama so I called them and was quoted $795!!!
I had been hearing $3-400 and one lady on this site was told $250 back in April. Has anyone called recently? That seems like quite a price hike!
I may have my first food aversion. I took a mouthful of the same cereal I have been eating for months for my diet and it honestly tasted like a had a heap of sugar in it. Blurgh! Too sweet for me now. I couldn't even finish it. I had my first lot of bloods done this morning :) It's kind of getting real now.
