I have no clue about gender but that is an adorable profile!
Sorry Linzshine I have no idea about nub shots but last night I was reading a theory that states whichever side of the uterus the baby implants on tells you if it's boy or a girl. So I'm 6 weeks and got a friend to scan me (friends in high places) and mine I growing on the right which suggests boy. I'm hoping it's all a load of rubbish!
Bluebonnet, I had 4 under 3 including twins. It is so much fun having them all close together!
I'm still looking for ways to determine gender early on if anyone has got any suggestions...I'm from the UK.
Linz I'm leaning pink on that nub. Still a little early but it's pretty flat and parallel to me:)
Adia, my mom has this saying that she has said throughout my whole life and I think it is appropriate here. If you wait to have kids until the "time is right" or until you "can afford it", you will never have kids.
I also think the quote by Ray Bradbury is appropriate too:
"If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down."
So even though this may not make sense to other people for you to have a child now, if you waited it may never happen. This child, boy or girl, will be the love of your life, you friend and your business for the rest of your life--here's to building those wings!!

I should not have said a word about not having symptoms. I've been feeling sick since last night, lol! I have to eat something small at least every two hours or the nausea gets baaaad.
Linzshine- looks girly to me :)
Thanks Christi, I appreciate those quotes. I am not so concerned about what others think that it prevented me from getting prego, but I am getting to a point in life where I just want to enjoy the good things and minimize my focus on the bad. I hate wasting my time deflect negativity and misery.Quote:

Mine have all been implanted on the right side, so I chalk it up to an old wives' tale. Don't read into it too much because it meant nothing for me. I think that a woman's uterus shape has to do with where the implantation occurs more than what the gender is:) I hope this helps to ease your mind, hun.Quote:

It looks super girly but I dont like to guess at this stage I believe its too early , because I saw super girly 12 weeks nubs ( at ingender confirmed boys nub) and they turned out to be boys !
If I were you I will wait till 15 weeks :)
Fx fx fx its your little girl :)
Well Happy New Year to you all!!! Hope the new year brings lots of lovely bubba's!
I told my family on boxing day we are expecting our 5th boy and got mostly positive comments but a few not so positive ones too.
Im ok with it but when on my own have shed a few tears, not because he is a boy but for what I will never have ;(
Hubby also said he would have liked a girl to have that daddy/daughter bond and I get upset that I can't give him that :(
Huge hugs HappyLea xxx

My dh said the same and felt guilty about giving ME a girl.
In the end we do get one but stop blaming yourself about giving him something.
You both recieved 5 boys.
I mean this in a kind way. Its just that we cant give in that way. We can try and with 5 children you both certenly did try.
And you may shed a tear. Just dont feel guilty in any way.
Glad most fam is sane and positive!!!
HappyLea - Huge hugs for what you are going through! We are here for you and I'm so happy you do have some family that is supportive.
I guess I'm lucky in that my DH doesn't want a daughter AT ALL so I don't feel guilty if we never have one. That being said it's more lonely this way because I'm the only one in the family that wants a daughter so I feel alone in my desire. DH just doesn't get it at all. DS is a true mini-me for DH - he looks just like him and already they are the best of friends. They love playing lightsabers together and soccer and DH loves dressing him in outfits that match daddy. I know none of that matters that much, but it's still a little hard thinking I may never have that sort of relationship for myself. That being said I think all of us boy moms are supremely blessed and lucky - my DS worships the ground I walk on and kisses and cuddles me non-stop and my mom (who had all girls) admits none of her daughters ever had that relationship with her growing up. There's somethng quite special about being surrounded by men that adore you! Every night I pray not for a daugther, but for peace and acceptance of the beautiful family I'm meant to have. May all of us find happiness in 2015 - either by fulfilling our GD or by finding freedom from it.
This is so well put--I too pray for peace and acceptance of the family I was meant a to have. I always thought I would have a daughter, and it just wasn't meant to be. I'm sure my boys will be into all sorts of boy stuff, and they will have lots of fun rough housing with each other, but I sure hope they still adore their mom the way your son adores you! My son is 1, so of course, he is still all cuddly, but who knows how long that will last.... Dh is such a hands on dad that my son is a bit of a daddy's boy, which is great, but sometimes it makes me feel that as they get older that I will be left out. But I suppose I am the one who makes the choice on how involved I get, so I guess I can choose to be part of all the boy activities...Quote:

Well my dd adores me and her dad
But she is so her dady's girl , she even prefer him over me lol ! So I always thought having a boy will be momy's boy ! Hopefully :)
after Tomorrow is my appointment , Iam now almost 14 weeks
Hopefully I will get good nub shots ! I cant wait anymore
Although Im fine either way
My nausea starts to ease up
but Im sick and coughing for looong , this is the forth week ugh ! By belly hurts alot if i caughed :(
I believe that my white cells have moved to protect my baby and left me with no jerms defence lol :(
Im with you on the pain. If I sneeze Ive got to hold both size or its going to hurt from the round ligament stretch!
I am 9 weeks today, I feel like this is going by so slow probably because I have been sick. DH and I haven't been intimate in weeks due to I feel the worse at night time and am so tired that I pass out by 9pm, he leaves for work by 5:30am and when I first wake I get sick so that wont work either :/. Just feel run down and crappy all day every day. Sorry about the crappy post just feeling down :(
missxo - having a crappy day over here as well. I'm nearly 13 weeks so I decided to try to ween myself off the unisom/b6 2 days ago. Yesterday I felt relatively crappy so I decided to try again skipping my meds last night. This morning I woke up insanely sick and can't stop throwing up. Oops. I can't take it during the day because it makes me pass out so I really regret not taking it last night. UGH. I figured I'd be better by 13 weeks, but I guess not :( ! Back to my meds tonight!
So sorry you girls are feeling so crappy:(. Look on the bright side.... Feeling so sick is a good sign you are growing a healthy little baby:). Hope you all find some relief in the near future!
Oh no sorry that your not feeling well either, hopefully your near the end of it and tonight the meds help for tomorrowQuote:

I know it isn't coming from a bad place but it is awful. I am so glad you can all understand. A third child is special no matter what. Who cares whether it is a boy or girl?? I was pretty shocked that not one single person didn't ask about it :(
Hello ladies, I'm here with you all in the same boat feeling pretty rubbish.
I've just had some devastating news today from my best friend. She is due to give birth next week to her 1st baby girl and at a check up today they found no heart beat! She's lost her poor baby girl and I have no words to help. Just don't understand how this sort of thing can happen. Life can be so cruel.
I feel so guilty and foolish to be wanting a girl so much now. A healthy baby is all that matters really.
Thanks for listening x
How incredibly devastating. Sending all my love and strength to your best friend xx
Your poor friend, So very cruel ! thinking of you and her X
How absolutely terrible. I feel so sorry for your friend.

Ugee - I'm so sorry for your friend. I can't imagine what she is going through. My thoughts are prayers are with you and your friend.
Ugee, sooo sorry to hear about your friends baby :(:(
Ugee- how horrible!!! That's devastating! Prayers for you and your friend.
Thank you everyone. It's such a terrible nightmare! She is being induced today as doesn't want to wait till it happens naturally. She said she found out last week at a paid baby bond scan that her little girl had gastroschisis (bowels outside body) and that they missed it on her 20 week scan!!! She should have been having weekly scans to keep an eye on her. She was waiting for referral for a c section in a hospital that deals with this sort of thing since finding out. She was shopping yesterday and thought her baby was quiet so went to hospital and that's when they found no heart beat.
Always remember to count your kicks, and think this time for myself I will go to a paid scan after my 20 week one to make sure nothing is missed.
Oh, Ugee, I am so very sorry for such a loss by your best friend. In these cases, it really Feels like a family event and I just cannot imagine how you and her family must feel. Gods blessings to everyone and my deepest sympathies:(
I am also sorry that so many of you are feeling so sick. I really hope that you all feel better soon. I'm also sorry for the comments of others about your pregnancies in your real lives that are so callous at times. It just makes me so upset that people do that to anyone.
I'm always thinking of you all and I try to keep up on your posts as best I can. Now that the holidays have passed, I will check in more often.
I'm still letting things sink in and it feels surreal that we have a little girl coming, after so long. I have nonsensical fears about the maternal fetal blood test somehow being that 0.0001% but I know that is so irrational. I'm excited, but scared to show it. I don't know if that makes any kind of sense. I guess I'm afraid to express too much, yet. I also have a feeling of guilt for the women I know both online and in real life who have experienced a loss or who have several boys and no daughters or vice versa-many of whom are done having children. There are 10 families who are in our sons' hockey association and school who have three boys each and only two of those families happen to have a girl ( we all have joked it is some kind of 3 boy phenomenon in our area). Most of them are done having children...so I feel like I must be so careful in telling them we are expecting a girl. I just know how it feels and don't want anyone to feel that ache in their hearts that I've felt. Although, when I've had loved ones and friends who've had both genders or desired genders, I've felt genuinely happy for them when that one arrives, but it isn't easy al of the time. I know it's not always so for everyone, though. It's just a sensitive issue and I am trying to be considerate of others, yet I may be over-thinking it.
Well, I'll stop rambling now and thank you all for listening. I hope that this year brings good things to all of you.
ugee, how terrible. I'm so sorry for your friend.
I'm joining you ladies on the miserable train. My unisom I take every night starts wearing off in the midafternoon of the next day, so I have about 5-6 hours where I am trying to not to vomit...and it's even harder bc the only thing that keeps me from being sick is EATING something. So I'm having to force plain greek yogurt, or something as bland down (that still has protein), while trying to let it come back up, LOL.
Also the exhaustion! It's almost 1pm here and I could lay down for a 3 hour nap easily. Luckily my husband has been home the last few days, so my mom duties have drastically minimized...but when non-holiday life starts back up, I have no clue how I'm going to do this. Although I know there were millions of women before me in this situation, and there will be millions after. It's good to have some perspective!
Husband told me he had a dream this one is a boy. He's been very neutral about having girls or boys, he doesn't treat either of our girls different because of their gender. He's out throwing the football and playing baseball with them just as if they were boys (we are actually signing our 5 year old girl up for flag football in the spring:)) so I know everything's going to be ok if this one is a girl too. She will be just as loved and cherished. When he told me about his dream, though, I started getting really excited. I'm having to tamper down my feelings though, as I KNOW dreams are just dreams. I guess it's another of those "waves of panic" I was talking about earlier. I love having this forum to talk about these feelings...I just know my other friends and online groups wouldn't understand. So, today I'm feeling thankful, hopeful, sick, and scared...not in that order:)
Hugs to all of you experiencing or having friends experience a loss.
Hugs to all of you still sick! I know how much it stinks and my heart goes out to you!!
I finally told my boss. It feels good to not have it be a secret anymore but I do feel guilty for finding out the day before I started a new job. I told him that I had stopped trying to conceive the day of my interview when I knew I was taking the job. It was too late. I know this baby is a blessing and meant to be and that it will work out as it should. I told him I'm not taking 12 weeks leave and I'll be back to work and this is my last kid. Hopefully in the next 6 mo I can also prove how dedicated and serious I am!!! I just hope he doesn't start treating me differently. I'm the office manager for his dental practice.
Finally I scheduled an ultrasound for 15w1d at a private gender determination office. I can't wait but I'm also super nervous. I just feel like I need to know as soon as I can WHO is inside me. Boy or girl. If it's a girl I will be over the moon and glad to start shopping early. If it's a boy I need to prepare myself for losing my girl dream and embracing the boy plan for me. I know it won't be easy but the more time I have to adjust the better managing I can do of gender disappointment. All of my nub guesses have been girl so it's really hard to not get my hopes up! But I'm trying to stay grounded. 17 Days!!

So sorry for your friend ugee. That is such a huge thing to miss at the 20 week scan when they are supposed to be looking for things like that. I can't even begin to imagine how she must feel being so close to due date with this loss!
