Oh no how frustrating! I want to know how manys in there ;)
Hope they could squeeze you in soon hitme [emoji1]
Bobster, I had lots of pickled food/vinegary cravings at first in this pregnancy!! :)
Oh no hitme-, hope hossy can get you in.
Ooo hopefor4 you give me hope!
Hitme did you get a scan? How annoying when you've psyched yourself up! Hope all went ok
Aaaahhh I just want to say everyone is driving me crazy! So we finally told DH's family about the pregnancy - nothing about gender yet though as we don't know. MIL said something along the lines of well we were going to get family photos done at Xmas but we will wait till you DAUGHTER is born. No congratulations, no excitement. Just that! Both my other SIL's were questioning me at length about gender yesterday. I said all the right things I thought. I said that we would be happy to have either sex etc. A girl would be nice and another boy would fit right in etc etc. But they just kept pushing the girl issue. Saying things like but you obviously WANT a girl. What are you going to do if it's not a girl etc. Aaahhhh I just want to scream! It's totally like I HAVE to have a girl.
That would be so annoying hit me! I'm sorry I that happened xx
Sorry covered in blue-family can be the rudest of all some time. I won't be telling mine to Christmas but sadly none of them live near me so doesn't matter anyway. That's the only bad part of being prego no family to visit and help and talk to:( told dh we could not tell the whole prego and then send baby announcement. How crazy would that be lol. They'd think I was a mad woman. But Christmas will be a cute xmas announcement and I never tell early because that just drags out the questions lol. Told dh when he got back from his trip a couple days ago and got a big hug and kiss so that was nice:)
Aaawwwww cute :). So glad your DH was happy. I wish I didn't have to tell everyone yet either but I can't hide it any longer. People are starting to notice.
My friend hung up all the Xmas stockings and they were named except for one which just had a question mark on it. She put the pic up on FB as her announcement. It was very cute.
Covered you're a braver woman than I am... I am sticking to the plan of dropping $550 on panorama to avoid all that drama.
I DID get a scan! The hospital took me! So just one baby - but that wasn't what I had in mind at first all I kept thinking was please let their be a heartbeat... Alas at 187bpm measuring 9wks 2 days :)
Afterwards I had a fleeting moment of awe I wish it was twins but beggars can't be choosers :) so now the next stress is learning gender. It has to happen.

Yep - idk why but all abdominal obstetrical ultrasounds are like that. You pee all you got 2 hrs before your exam and then within 1.5 hrs of the exam you slam back 32 ounces of fluid. (Like almost 3 cans of pop for visuals) then you hope you don't arrive needing to piss yourself and find out your tech bailed on you with no replacement [emoji108]🏻Quote:

I didn't know that covered - I can't imagine how sad you were :(
I'm in love already - that's all that matters :) squashing the family drama, stranger comments will complete me. Lol I think I'm talking myself into doing the blood work... $550 would be spent better elsewhere but having this opportunity to disclose everything is so comforting in so many ways . ..

Sorry you didn't hear twins but glad you heard your babies heart beat.
You are gonna know gender so soon. Hope you hear girl [emoji175]

Thanks for all your help ladies. I'm gonna try to get over the intelligender results. GONE! :)
I had my checkup today, and I casually told the doctor I had some spotting and cramping. She pulled out the u/s machine and was like "lets look!" hahaha I wasn't expecting that, she caught me off guard. But luckily I got to see a healthy baby! Consistently measuring 2/3 days behind, so that puts me at 10w2d. I asked for the panorama test and she told me that I could do the NT u/s at 12 weeks instead and went ahead and scheduled that. So didn't even consider my bloodwork request. I'm a little disappointed but happy to do the 12 week scan, although I hate the idea of having to do more guessing at the gender. I got great shots of the baby though! :)
Hitme, congrats on your healthy baby! Glad you have a good visit today too. :)
Baby pink what is the NT u/s?
Is that routinely done or do you have to be a certain age?
If insurance pays for that maybe it's better to know at 12 weeks and save the cost of the blood testing.
Btw did you sway?

Hitme - Sorry you didn't hear twins, but great to hear a solid heartbeat! And I know heartbeat doesn't tell you anything but that seems like a high one to me! Really hope you hear girl soon! :)
Babypink - That's great you got to see your little one again! I don't even think my doctor's office will do a 12 week scan, so I'll have to wait the full 18-20 weeks or so. So, does that mean in only two short weeks we'll get to guess at a nub?! Yay!!
Covered - I can't imagine how terrible that must have been. I know when we tell family DH's side will be praying it's a boy since they have all girls on that side. And although at this point I'll be happy with either, I can definitely understand your frustration. I hope you can just tell them it's a girl and to shove it one of these days soon!!
Aww lovely healthy scans all round! Congratulations ladies.
Does anyone else feel irritable in pregnancy? Honestly I'm so snappy it's unreal. I feel sorry for OH but on the other hand I don't because I feel it's almost his duty to put up with me. They don't get any nausea, stress, hormonal crap. If only he knew how stressed I am about the health of the baby, the gender, dealing with my emotions after birth, the list goes on! I feel resentful. But last pregnancy I was completely chilled and laid back. I didn't have any hormonal outbursts, tears of stresses. I think all this gender stuff has changed the way I feel as I didn't even consider it the first time. I hope after we find out one way or the other I can start to enjoy being pregnant as I will finally know and have to make peace with the way it will be in my future family. I'm rambling now sorry...
I didn't do any swaying. I had planned to start towards the end of this year because our plan was to conceive next year, but this baby had other plans. I'm hoping there are some factors that helped me unofficially sway. I was breastfeeding and not taking any supplements, I was skipping breakfast a lot, we only had one attempt and DH had abstained for several days. However, I still ate red meat and other boy-friendly foods. I have a very boy-friendly lifestyle. I just hope the other factors increased my chances enough. Oh well, honestly I've been internalizing that this may be a boy and I'm starting to feel okay with that. This is actually what I wanted from that intelligender test, because my head was way too high up in the clouds thinking that I had a great shot at pink. I needed to start considering that it could very well be another boy.Quote:

Babypinkno3 looks like you had a non intentional sway for the most part. I hope you hear pink.
Covered I think if my MIL told me that I would stop talking to her. Sorry you had to hear that.

My doctor said that the NT scan was done at 12 weeks to scan for all of the same stuff the blood test would scan for, except the spinal issues. That can not be seen until the 18-20 week scan/bloodwork. I don't think it's routinely done unless it's requested because I've never had one before, that I know of. However, I'm not high-risk, I'm 31 with only 1 previous mc which was a blighted ovum at 5 weeks. No family history that would make me high risk either.Quote:

yes! nub guessing will start on October 6! I'll be 12w6d. Hope that makes for an accurate nub prediction. Although I will say that looking at my boy's u/s, I think theirs look like girl nubs.
healthygirl, thanks for saying that. I think there were some good sway factors there so maybe there's still hope. Even if it just increased from 50% to 60% :) I will say one thing, this baby was definitely conceived differently than my boys!
Ugh my ex obviously doesn't know I'm pregnant but he sends me this just now...http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...1b0eae8ace.jpg
Like seriously. I hate this fricken calendar . It haunts my life.

In other annoying news. My husband. Hasn't even asked me how it went today. He is the most oblivious person ever when it comes to pregnancy and emotions.

Covered in blue- that's a great idea might steal it. Grandma has made everyone a quilt so going to tell her by sending fabric saying she needs to get started on another quilt:)
Hitme- congrats on getting to hear the heartbeat always so amazing.
I'm so glad you have a healthy baby growing!!Quote:

I just had the NT scan and bloods too babypink. We call it "combined screening" in NZ. With the scan they measure the amount of fluid behind the neck. This is often enlarged if baby has a chromosomal abnormality. With the bloods they check for a protein in the blood which can also be elevated with abnormalities. They put all your details (age, babies measurements etc) into a computer program and they just give you a degree of risk. Like 1 in 5000 I think I had with DS1.
It doesn't tell you gender or anything specific really. If you come out high risk then they offer you an amino here.
Oddly enough, the months where I had my miscarriages, the chart said girl. I felt that was the case both times. This thing is so weird! I almost wish I wouldn't have even looked at it!
I'm doomed to never give my DH a DD...

If I go by that gender calculator 2 of my boys should be girls and I'm pregnant with a boy lol. Actually I wouldn't mind that too much :P
Mine was right then wrong. But it says this should be a girl.
According to the Chart I should be carrying my 3rd boy.
Mine said girl for my ds and boy for this one. it's going to be right 50% of the time for everyone.
How do people manage walking about with a toddler and a newborn? Do you have buggy boards and do your toddlers behave with them? At the moment we walk but he's not walking too far so I bring the pram if we go on a longer trip. If he's playing up I just put him in the stroller and he settles once we set off usually. I have visions of being trapped inside once the new baby comes as it will be such a mission to get out with 2 babies especially if he's in one of those moods! I don't think he would behave and stand on a buggy board for too long..
I usually wear my newborn in a front carrier and push my toddler in a stroller/pram. I get so cooped up nursing a newborn that I have to get outside and walk/power walk most days so I don't get too stir crazy!!! I end up at a park to let my toddler play and bring either a blanket or a nursing cover in case I have to nurse the baby.Quote:

Ah good idea xx thanks for tips! Can't believe you are 29 weeks already!
Me too!! My sweet boy is now measuring 3.5 weeks ahead [emoji16]! I haven't gained anymore weight, but he is rapidly growing/gaining. I hope he doesn't come too early, but I also don't want to deliver a huge baby! I've been spoiled to 6lbs 11/12oz with both DS1 and DS2! Ah well, it will be what it will be!!!Quote:

I'm so sure I'll have another boy (with every wives tale against me too... Full moon & stupid Chinese calendar too)
