I'm sorry about the acid re-flux you ladies are experiencing Lilith and Rosie! That symptom has not kicked in yet but I am awfully sick despite having taken zofran (a friend's pregnancy script she shared with me).yuck! Never had ms this bad either. I think I should be getting a scan tomorrow too, but just for dating purposes. I think I will only be 6w6d.
Lots of scans tomorrow! Sorry you are so sick future, it's the worst part of pregnancy.
How far along are you Rosie?

Excited for everyone's updated scans! Abi- happy for the healthy heartbeat! Will you get a 12 NT? I am on my 20 week scan countdown- 3 wks and 3 days! lol
Lala I'm not sure, but I hope so! I'd love to get a nub shot :)
That scan is amazing Abi! So clear and detailed. Must have really great machines at that place. The quality is awesome.
Will be excited to hear about everyone's scans coming up. There is nothing like the excitement to see the baby!
Looks great abi with a strong heartbeat ♥
My 8 week scan is on july 31st. Can't wait
Make sure you drink enough water with zofran! I found out the hard way this time and I read up that if you're dehydrated and you take it, that combo can make you feel more nauseous!! Great!!! I used it my last pregnancy but could not tolerate it this time so ended up giving it to my moms friend who got cancer as that is some pricey stuff!!!!

Yay fantastic Sweetdream! 😀😃😄😊😍
Great news sweetdream!!! You must be so relieved.
GL daisy!!!
Glad to hear you had a good scan Sweetdream! I understand being nervous. I feel like I am going in pretty early for mine so I am afraid I won't see anything yet. I will be relieved to see a heartbeat but I am so scared that something will be wrong.

Thanks coocoo! I will make sure to sip water. I have been trying to drink plenty of water these days. Trying to keep weight gain down too, but I think I have been eating too much when I don't feel sick to make up for when I do.

Great news sweetdream!
Wow, we have a lot of scans this week in this group! So much fun :-) Abi, what an awesome first pic! Sweetdreams, so glad the scan put you at ease.
Our first appt is July 22nd, but last time they didn't do anything at that appt except give me another pregnancy test, so I'm not expecting a scan this time either. I'll likely have to wait another month. In the meantime, we have one of those at home doppler things to listen to the heartbeat. A friend gave it to us with our last pregnancy, but we didn't try it out until we first heard the heartbeat at the doctor's office at 12 weeks, so I don't know how sensitive it is. I tried using it the other night at 6 weeks, but couldn't find anything, so I'm thinking it's still too early. I'll probably try each week though because it would be so cool to hear the heartbeat sooner than 12 weeks for sure!
It's just so hard not to be worried these days! They say that once you hear a heartbeat, your chance of miscarriage drops to 5%. Hoping I can convince them to do a scan at the 8 week appt, but probably not. And I'm actually thinking of making an earlier appt to get some zofran since this MS is getting pretty severe :-( Of course it sounds like I don't have it nearly as bad as some of you other ladies! Hope everyone starts feeling better soon!!
Crazycat I think you generally can't hear the heartbeat until after 10 weeks with the doppler. I know how frustrating it is to sit and wonder if the baby is okay...it really sucks. I'm hoping they scan me next Tuesday so I can be put at ease.
So...here is a perfect example of just how emotional I am today. As I was driving into work I was thinking about how nice and supportive everyone is on this board (the due date board on babycenter is full of people who are so mean and judgmental that if you post something naive or something they jump all over you), AND I STARTED GETTING TEARY. I have not even been actively posting on the board, let alone this sight, for very long! You guys are great, lol.
I feel so much better today so far. I have my seabands and some super strong ginger candy from indonesia! Hopefully it keeps me feeling better!
Awww so sweet future. I adore this site and all the ladies on it. I was here with my last pregnancy too even though I didn't sway and I stayed because the support was phenomenal. I am glad you are feeling a bit better today. I drink ginger beer when I feel sick...it has 26 grams of ginger and it really helps!
Hope your scan went well daisy! Can't wait for an update!
Aw futureminime Stick with us and don't mind the other crew! you're going to be super emotional at this time anyway so stay away from negative people And I so get how you feel so emotional I bawled my eyes out watching Sound of Music last week!!
Sorry to hear you're feeling sick crazycatcouple Have you tried ginger tea? I find it a god send
So Had my scan today and all is 100% So happy!! I am a few more days along than I thought so am exactly 13 weeks today
I'll try and post up two pics and see what ye think re. Girl or boy I'm sure it's boy no. 4 but time will tell I suppose

So excited for all the scans! I'm almost 18 weeks and I need to schedule "the big one." Although, already knowing she's a she helps, but I get nervous every time something bad might be revealed.
I splurged for my birthday and bought a Blendtec, since I've always wanted a high power blender for smoothies, nut butters, hummus and soups. My new morning addiction is a smoothie I got off the internet (a vegan guy invented it for his hangover, but I tweaked it a little.) So yummy! And it's a complete meal replacement, fiber, Omega 3's, and protein. Here it is, if anyone else is interested:
1 heaping tablespoon nut butter (I use peanut butter)
1/2 c milk or milk substitute (I use organic whole milk)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
4 dates or 2 Medjool dates, seeds removed
2 sliced, frozen bananas
1/4 c water (optional, to thin it out if you don't want a thick smoothie)
Blend until smooth, then let sit for 5 minutes so the chia seeds can thicken the smoothie. This fills me up until lunch!
Okay, daisymoo, I wouldn't be so sure I was having another boy with THAT 13 week nub! That's a classic girly nub!
Either way, baby looks wonderful :)
Daisy! Girl nub!!
Here is my 8 week scan
http://i61.tinypic.com/rs4zv8.jpg
That is such a girly nub daisy!!! Woohoo! Glad all is looking healthy as well! Bring on all these girlies!
Ah Daisy!!! Complete girly nub. No doubt.
Cute baby sweetdream!!!
Such a cute scan Daisy! Baby looks like he or she might end up a thumb sucker :-) Our daughter always had her hands near her mouth in ultrasound pics and she's definitely a thumb sucker!
Maybe a dumb question, but what it is about her nub shot that makes it look girly? Is there a thread on here somewhere that talks to the nub shots and what to look for? Is that the "hamburger"? I thought that could only be seen from a different angle, but maybe I'm just confused, lol. Need to learn what to look for!
Crazycat - I was feeling really rough this week but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the seabands! They are really working for me so far (and I have worn them for all three pregnancies now). With the first two, I was only just a bit nauseous but with this one it is worse! Have you tried them? I also have ginger soda (I though it was ale when I bought it), and now some really strong ginger candy. So far I have had moments of queasiness but have not gotten sick. I have not taken any Zofran today either!Quote:

Crazycat, we're looking at the genital tuber (referred to as "the nub") and comparing its angle to the spine. Greater than a 15 degree angle generally indicates a boy, parallel indicates girl, and inbetween is a toss-up. There are other factors, too. Judging the nub before 12 weeks is completely inaccurate, and 13 weeks is best. If the baby is particularly arched, curled, or upside down, the nub guess is invalid. Ultrasound techs and studies give nub guesses after 13 weeks over 90% for gender accuracy. Still, there's that 10%, but it's generally a good indication of where things are headed :)
Potty shots looking for a "turtle" or a "hamburger" come later. I know a lot of women get gender ultrasounds between 15 and 17 weeks, but I personally wouldn't trust one until 18 weeks. A potty shot after 18 weeks (until after 22 weeks) is nearly 100% accurate. Later ultrasounds can be less accurate because girl parts can swell, and boy parts can get squished and "hidden."
I was obsessed with gender ultrasounds for a while. I wanted to see if there was ANY way DS2's 18 week classic turtle could be wrong. There wasn't, LOL!
Yay for two great scans! So glad baby looks good sweetdream!
And I see a girl nub Daisy. I've been guessing for quite sometime and even tend to be cautious if I see any potential angle. It looks girly to me!!
Daisy that looks girly to me too and looks like it forks a bit.
Sweetdream - glad to hear you had a great scan, too!
