Sunset you look Lovely! I also get an all out front bumps although in the last few weeks with ds1 I got a few stretch marks under my bump and on my hips where I got quite big quite quickly! FX I don't get anymore this time as they've all just started to fade.
I used bio oil and palmers cocoa butter but I think you either get them or you don't I already had some on my thighs from a growth spurt in puberty so just think i'm one of the unlucky ones!
just popping in for a sec ladies, have work tomorrow so have to go to bed. So many posts to catch up on! Already starting to feel sick ugh!
lots of love and will catch up properly tomorrow
:HH:
Zanacal ~ congrats again!! how are you feeling now? has the news sunk in yet? :)
Thank you ladies so much! I wish I felt "neat" :oops: this bump is not at all neat compared to my boys and is much more "all around".
I never got any stretchmarks on my belly with ds1 (did get some on my thighs however) but i did get a few on my belly with ds2 which is strange since i carried ds1 for longer and he was bigger :S i'm keeping everything crossed i won't get anymore stretchmarks this time, but i'm sure i will :pQuote:

I also suddenly feel as though this baby/pregnancy is even more precious (which it isn't, it was precious whatever the gender!) because I feel like we've been handed such a lot of luck and I don't know what we did to deserve it!
this is how i feel as well even though i know my pregnancy would have been equally as special if I was having another boy. I just don't understand how I got so lucky, I never in a million years actually expected to fall pregnant with a DD.. at the end of the day it's all just pot luck who gets their desired gender and who doesnt and ask anyone, I never win on lottery tickets and such lolQuote:

oh and yes ladies mind if i rant for a bit?
i got my first bout of gender comments in a long while on FB this afternoon :hair: basically a friend of a friend is 20 weeks pregnant and she posted a picture of her bump to which i commented "what a cute bump" and she went on to ask me if we've found out what we're having and i answered "no, we're keeping it a surprise" to which she then of course went on to say "oh i'm hoping for you it's a girl this time since you have 2 boys, but of course gender doesn't matter as long as it's healthy bla bla" and i answered "well, only a few weeks until we find out what's hiding in my belly, either way we'll be just as happy :)" and of course then she answered "yes but i so hope it's a girl for you, a little mini "sunset" would be so cute etc etc".
See, my problem isn't so much gender comments, it's how people can't just accept and be happy with "we'll be happy either way" but then have to push on how I apparently "need" to have a DD... :rolleyes: (did i mention btw that she has a daughter herself)
Sunset people have to force there feelings onto you. A few of my friends insist that I would be unhappy with another boy but that how feel. I just ignore it now. My bump is bigger than yours now btw! :-0
Z congratulations!
Got my SS today! When are we opening them ?
Have lots of painful braxton hicks. More kids = delightful symptoms! Never again!
true :agree: although i've never ever, not once! experienced braxton hicks.. not in any of my pregnancies :S i wouldn't know what they feel like :SQuote:

I keep on saying never again but I do it again anyway! Dh hasn't heard anything about his snip so who knows! Just sad that I won't have anymore but one has to be the last! I need hormone therapy it's not normal to be this broody
