Thanks Erin. 💜
It is nerve wracking isn't it? I just keep telling myself, I've had six boys, I CAN have happy & healthy pregnancies and the chances of another loss are low!! Just need to start believing it. 😉

Yep very nerve wracking. I did the same thing and even now, my last appointment was at 10 weeks so it's been 5 weeks and I have changed focus for tomorrow from being nervous about gender to being nervous that bub has a heart beat and all is ok (I had a severe chest infection for 11 days so been really sick!) That loss and pain never goes away that's for sure always in the back of your mind and know ur not alone! Xx when is your first appointment? I guess u haven't had bloods yet?
Hi ladies, may I join in here too? I'm about 5weeks pregnant. I have been soo grumpy for the last couple of weeks and now feeling tired and nauseous. Also nervous of another ectopic, nervous about my sway etc...
Welcome LaVie and congrats on your Positive!
Which way did you sway? Pink or Blue?
Wishing you all the best with this pregnancy hope it goes smoothly and your sway goes to plan x
Congratulations and welcome lavie.
Lavie does this pregnancy feel better than your ectopic one? I am sure it would be rare to happen twice in a row. Will thy be doing and early scan to check??
Have any of u heard of the urine ph test or tried it?? Does it hild true?
Congratulations Lavie!
I had an identical twin miscarriage in December 2012. Then multiple chemicals and another miscarriage in February. After my chemical last month I waited to test until 16 dpo.
Here's my test from today.

Congrats sunflower and I am so sorry for all of your losses. Hoping this is your sticky bean!
Congratulations sunflower! ! I'm sorry for ur loss. ♡
Thank you!
I'm TTC girl . I'm also inclined to not finding out till the baby comes. I had massive GD with DS2 when we were told boy and still feels guilty about it to this day (nearly 9 years!). With DS3 we didn't find out and I couldn't help but fall in love with him the minute I saw him so it was a lot smoother :-).
Rosie: yes it totally feels different- I actually feel pg this time- and yes I will be able to have a scan maybe next week just to make sure. I swear I'm already showing - I know it's silly because its only the size of a sesame seed lol
Congratulations sunflower! So sorry about your losses. FX its your sticky bean x
So glad to hear Lavie. I am sure baby is in the right spot! I am already showing too. I know it's not uterus or baby yet but my belly is not flat anymore at all. I look 12 weeks pregnant in the morning and 16 weeks by night fall. Not sure how I will hide the pregnancy much longer. I wasn't planning on saying anything until after the 12 week testing.
Wow, congrats to all the newcomers :-) I've been MIA for a almost a week, just busy with work stuff and trying to get as much accomplished before I hit the 6 week mark when I expected the nausea to hit hard. And...we are now at week 6, and guess what, lol? The nausea has hit :-) So far it doesn't seem quite as bad as last time. Whether it's still gearing up or maybe it just won't be as bad, time will tell! For now, I'm just trying to breathe through most of it, eating small meals of mostly toast seems to help, and then I also just picked up some essential oils that are supposed to help. We shall see!
I feel like I read so many updates that now I can't seem to focus on any one thing to comment on, lol. I will do better from here on out to stay up to speed :-) I will say the fact that multiple of you had opposite genders from what they said at the early scans does scare me a bit. I was hoping that since we're trying for blue, we might get a shot at the 12 week scan, but it sounds like even the 20 week scan is not always correct! Definitely going to have to research what this "turtle" thing is though :-) Always learning!!
It's been right for all three of my kids. DS1 was pH 7, DS2 was pH 8, and DD was pH 5. I've definitely seen it be wrong before though.Quote:

For fun here's my 9 weeks comparison bump pic between ds2(left) and this baby (right). Makes me feel more sure baby is a girl....or twins. I get my first ultrasound Wednesday and I can't wait!

Ugh I am so big. I am hoping a lot of it will go down in a week or so before a family function we have. I was completely flat stomached just two weeks ago.
Don't know what's with the two pictures posting. Oh well. The top is the better of the two. Don't mind my phone. It wouldn't get a good shot without it in the picture and I can't edit on my phone haha.
Wow! You ladies are def showing! I'm lucky if I look like that by 20 weeks! (I hate that I just look chubby and no real bump, I guess it's my height, I am average weight). Although I do hear that each baby gets bigger quicker, so maybe this one will be that one!
I'm a tad irritated that I haven't gotten any beta levels back. I am pretty sure things are progressing well. But apparently the doc "doesn't have any results" yet. Even though I had a draw on Thursday of last week. Grrr. I'm pretty sure I can guess about what they are. But I want reassurance that things are going well.
I've been more nauseous in the evening and MAN am I irritable. My kids are driving me nuts. Lol. I hope it abates a little soon. I am a little surprised that my boobs aren't sore. They were with all three of the others. But I'm not thinking too much about it. My tests are fine. Ill have to wait patiently on the betas.
Oh wow rosie - beautiful bumps ladies. I have only had 1 pregnancy but didn't show until like 7th month
I hope you get yours back soon hotdogz!
Sweet bump Rosie!
Love the bump pics! I too didn't show for quite a while with my first, but I'm pretty sure that's mostly due to my long torso :-) I'm trying to find a cute shirt on etsy that tells others there's a baby in there and I'm not just fat, lol. I feel like people are way nicer to you when they know you're expecting! That was the fun part last time, but my daughter came just a few weeks past when I finally "popped" so I feel like I got gypped, lol. Hoping I get more time being obviously pregnant this time!
Abifasc - you are definitely carrying differently! Hoping it's your girl :-)
Ugh how annoying hotdogz!! I am sure the numbers are fine too but still!!
With my first I didn't show until after 20 weeks and my second not until about 14 weeks but with my 3rd I was showing at about 10 weeks but not super big. This is nuts but I attribute the size to bloating.
Abi you are indeed carrying differently. My fingers are crossed for you for a pinkie! Do you think you are carrying twins??
Crazycat..I'm not sure where as I haven't looked but they do sell shirts like that!!
I don't have much reason to think it's twins except that I've had the crazy thought that I might have felt the baby which is obviously too early. My MIL is a twin and she has twin siblings but I don't think it passes through the dad's side. I have morning sickness but not bad enough to be twins.
You never know abi! Twins run on my moms side in my family. It wouldn't be out of the question for me especially after a miscarriage. I do know some women who had twins and little morning sickness so that doesn't mean much I guess.
I have little to no morning sickness still and while it's nice I'm still a little worried. My breasts are still super sore and I'm super super tired all the time...Hoping that's enough symptoms to mean the pregnancy is still going strong.
Yes I would feel good about that! My boobs are just now calming down and I'm still very tired. Those are strong symptoms. I was nauseous since I got my BFP but didn't throw up until 7w4d.
I'll find out Wednesday at the ultrasound if it's twins! I would be surprised but my mom would jump out of her skin with excitement haha.
I hope someone gets twins! It's always fun to follow those pregnancies. Everyone in my family but my Dh would be excited if it were me. Haha. Dh has expressed a strong disinterest in twins. He was nervous to get pregnant right after a loss since it can increase chances.
I don't know who said they look 12 weeks prego in the a.m. and 16 by the evening but that's me. I'm very tall and lean and don't typically wear tight clothing so it's hard to tell but I definitely look more prego this time around. And my boobs hurt SO BAD- sometimes it wakes me up. The pain let up last time but it just gets worse these days- almost like my milk is coming in. Anyone else with that kind of boob pain?
Lala that was me that said that! Haha. I have been getting terrible breast pain too...throbbing like pain and it hurts enough to annoy me quite a bit.
Rosie- when I lay on my side at night it's so bad I have to support them with a pillow! LOL
Oh wow lala. Mine fortunately are not that bad. I'm so sorry! What a pain...literally.
Are u ladies feeling something or the other consistenly or is it off and on??
I don't remember feeling much of anything in mt first pregnancy and this time around I am feeling it, it's sporadic. I keep thinking that something is wrong
Feeling it but*it's sporadic
Since my nausea has passed I am mostly tired, irritable and have extremely sore boobs- those are all pretty constant for me.
WooHoo Sunflower!! Congrats. Praying for a sticky bean and H&H 9mths for you. 💜
LaVieEnRose, I'm so excited to be due date buddies again after your ectopic and my miscarriage earlier this year. And it's so good to hear that you "feel more pregnant" this time. I'm sure it's your sticky bean in the right place this time! 😊💜
What awesome bump pics!! Maybe twins Abi??!? 😉
With my twins I had constant morning sickness/vomiting! And none with the others, but I've also known others who have had no morning sickness and had twins, so you never know. 😉
hotdogz, I am extremely irritable and cranky too!! The kids and DH are driving me crazy!!! I can't remember being like this any other pregnancy, but it's also school hols so that's probably contributing. 😜
That and my DH needs a slap! The last 2 nights we've sat down to watch a movie with the kids and whilst they're on the lounge including DH with his legs out, practically laying down, I've had to sit on the floor!! Ummm....I'm pregnant and was in hospital with a blood clot last week, but that's ok, you lay down stretched out on the lounge and I'll sit on the tiles!! 😠
Well as I suspected #3 is indeed a boy. I'm siting in the car in tears. I won't love him any less, but this was out last chance and I'm pretty devastated. Life goes on.
I've been exactly there. We were not meaning to have #4 at all
So 3 was it! It didn't matter once he was here but I totally get it!
Talk about it here and cry, we all understand:(
You won't him any other way once he's here but I know that doesn't help now.
Ohh longing.for.a.daughter, I'm so sorry you didn't hear pink. Thinking of you and know we all understand how you're feeling. xxx
Thanks girls, it's comforting knowing you know exactly how I feel cos I have no friends who been through this, they all have mixed genders or what the desired. I feel guilty being upset knowing there is so many out there trying to conceive or not able to have kids.
I guess it's just so final. I will never have a daughter. My husband will never walk a daughter down the isle, I will never see my daughter pregnant with her own child...
I can't wait to meet him, and I love him to pieces all ready. I am glad I found out now and can take the time I need to come to terms with it all instead of having to put on a brave face in hospital and bottling it all up. I admire those of you who are team greener's and I am so glad I went team green with my first 2.
