Due Sept/Oct/Nov 2017 (5)

Cosmos - -that is so scary to have a fall. Glad baby is moving around normal. Praying all is good at your appt tomorrow!

Erin - what a cute baby! I am no help because I was thinking rounder head was a girl, and more squared was a boy, but I have seen so much go either way. Glad baby is doing good!

AFM - I am having some rough days thinking about boy #5. Not that it is boy #5, but that I will never get my girl. But yesterday was such a crazy day with the boys being excited about the fireworks all day. But it was so cute seeing DS2 and DS4 napping in the same bed in the afternoon. (I made them all lay down since it would be a late night). Then, when I was downstairs putting together our new grill, DS3 and DS4 got into our gated laundry room and tossed 5 lbs of baking soda all around and on each other. It was a HUGE mess to clean that thankfully my MIL did the most, but it was also funny to see them together and DS3 was laughing so much. Oh my, BOYS! It helps to see them play together even if it is getting in trouble.
So here I am bouncing back and forth about this new baby and gender issues. I pray that once this baby is born, I will get over my GD and am able to live my life complete with my family!

Shann I hear you ... when I found out I'm expecting ds4 initially I was ok, but as time goes on I'm finding it hard to cope and my anxiety levels are increasing as i get bigger. Just want the baby out now and I'm not enjoying the pregnancy one bit. I don't want to talk to anyone about the baby or when I'm due or how I'm feeling, I just wish I wasn't pregnant. I feel so bad for the little baby who doesn't deserve this and I wish I could get excited but it's just not in me ... wish I never started this stupid journey and I could go back to having 3 boys and get on with my life!!!!!

(((HUGE HUGS))) Amelia!! I'm so sorry you are going through this. I do hope that once that little guy gets here that he holds a special place in your heart. I'm expecting DS3 but after my bout of GD I'm excited now. I can't wait to hold him! I just can't stand the comments I'm getting like tell DH to put in some work and you'll get your girl. How crazy is that?! People seem to be under the impression that if the women takes charge in the bedroom that a boy will be conceived and if the man does then a girl will be conceived. I don't put any stock in that because I feel like with me and DH it's a joint effort lol!!

Does anyone know can I take anything for anxiety? It starts from the min I wake up until I go to bed, on and off all day! I think I really need some help, these feelings aren't normal. Or does anyone know of any herbal/essential oils I can take to calm an ovrthinking mind.

My sil just had a beautiful little girl and my friend is due her 2nd girl next week, I can't cope with all of this and the pink everywhere in my sils house! The only time I feel ok or normal is when I visualise this pregnancy ending or something bad happening. I know this isn't normal and feel desperate at the moment.

Yes, there are some meds that are safe for you to take while pg! PLEASE go and talk to your Dr!!!! I hope that you start to feel better real soon and you start to enjoy your pregnancy. I know for me, part of the not enjoying it, is the heat. We are in the 100s and it is making me so sick I can't eat. It is very draining. The move is also taking quite a toll on my body. ((HUGS))
I also understand the feelings and the heartache. My SIL is having a girl (her 2nd) in Sept and it just rubs me wrong how she got her pp without even trying. I have even visualized something happening and I know how upset I would be. So I know I love this little one no matter what. I am praying that with meds and maybe even some counseling, you can feel better and know this little one is meant to be part of your family.
When I lost the girls last pg, I was a total mess. The fact that I was still pg with boy #4 and lost our girls was devastating. I did not even want to be pg anymore. I had a really rough time for quite a few months. I can tell you now, as he is almost 2, he is am absolute joy and is perfect for our family! I know lots of people here comment the same, but he truely is a special soul.
I know that this boy #4 will be a blessing for you and your family. You just don't know how until you meet him. HUGS

Any recommendations on how/when to take iron pills?

I passed my GD test but failed hemoglobin. So I'm on a slow release iron pill again like my last pregnancy /: but I HATED taking them and they made me so sick. I also can't take prenatal gummies anymore. I have to take the pills cuz I guess they have more in them??

I hate taking both. But I don't wanna be anemic
