I do the same. When ds 4 was brand new I used a moby wrap, and then when he was bigger I used a carrier. There are lots of Facebook groups for baby wearing. It's really saved my sanity. I still wear him at bigger events/markets where I need to push ds3 in a stroller but tighter spaces where the double stroller won't do.Quote:

When did everyone's pregnancy symptoms start?
I'm 5 weeks 4 days and except for sore boobs I got nothing.
Should I be worried?

I had a double stroller and I really enjoyed that. My first was so lazy about walking the first year of his brother's life so we used it a ton. I have the Britax B Ready or Britax B Dual (name depends on where you live) and am really happy with it.
Healthy girl lots of people have symptoms start first at 6+ weeks. I wouldn't worry.
Starting to stress girls
12 week scan on Tuesday :(
Dreading to see what I really don't want to see
DreamingPink - 12 week scan isn't much to go on anyway; sure you might have a pretty great nub shot but it your just 12 weeks especially - I wouldn't put to much on what you see or don't see....

Healthy I agree with junior - all I've ever read is 6 weeks is normal but some people never really get a ton of symptoms - my boobs never got sore - my nipples were a tiny bit more sensitive; but nothing noteworthy!

I'm glad you had a good scan Hitme!
I don't put any stock in the gender calendar......it was wrong for my girls!!!!!
Healthygirl~ I had hardly any symptoms in the begining of my girls pregnancies, but this one I had them all as soon as I got my bfp..... It really depends on your pregnancy!!
Dreaming of pink, will you be exactly 12 weeks?
I guess the reason why I am so paranoid and scared is that (not so much with my first) but with my second don I had such prominent perfect boy nub on the ultrasound that there was no denying he was all boy. At that stage we weren't going to find out the gender with our second and I felt like I knew the gender as early as 13 weeksQuote:

Anyone due here around April 17?
I know how you feel Dreamingpink xx That the was me last week! I was terribly nervous for days! I knew I'd see the nub and I couldn't not watch the scan. I hope you see a flat little girly nub. Sorry I can't think of anything more comforting to say xx
I'm starting to get so scared about the Panorama results. At least with the first trimester screening (which we will also be doing) you still have a chance that everything is alright as it is all just statistics and more testing is normally necessary, but with panorama if you hear bad news that is it. I'm pretty stressed about it. I've been so ill and miserable this pregnancy that if it doesn't work out I don't know how I will be able to try again. I'll be happy when next week is over.
Thinking of all of you ladies as you have big milestones coming up! I hope you see a great (girly!) nub Dreamingpink. And I hope your panorama turns out perfect Junie. I feel like I'm learning so much from you ladies and I hope all goes well.
Sushi kitty - not that this matters but April 17th is my birthday! :) So if your due then it's a great day!
Healthy - I'm only 5 weeks, but so far I've just had really sore nips and a stuffy nose. Some days I'm pretty hungry constantly but that's about it. I know what you mean though - I'd rather feel crappy to know everything is going well!
Junie praying that your paranorma results are good!you expect to get them next week?
Do you ladies know when your suppose to stop laying on your stomach at night? I try to sleep on my side, but always roll to my stomach....
I always have slept on stomach till I physically couldn't anymore. Then I would bw e propped w pillows on my side but as much on my belly as I could lol.
Ash- yeah the Dr. said it normally takes them about 12 days to process which would be Tuesday. I actually never worried about any of this type of stuff before my miscarriage earlier this year. I guess it just showed me that all of this stuff can happen even with low odds. But I'm hopeful for sure.
Regarding the stomach I wouldn't worry yet. At the point where it is an issue and could be dangerous I think you'll actually feel really uncomfortable (my heart starts racing,etc) and have to move, at least that has always been the case for me and laying on my back.
Yep mine r kicking in now. So so sleepy lolQuote:

Thanks for the tips with baby wearing and double buggies. I found the sling with my ds really uncomfortable on my back but it may have been because I wasn't using it properly. I'll get some advice from the experts when baby arrives as I think that's the only way I'll be able to get out with my ds in a stroller. I'm so scared about the prospect of 2 babies! My ds will be 2.5 by the time the new baby comes ... I hope he doesn't get too jealous. All the anxieties...
Sushi I'm due April 24th so a week after you
Awee yay! We shall see. I was told its rare to delivery twins at 40 weeks. :C I am going to try and make a miracle happen.Quote:

I know how you feel. I feel guilty a little too for spending the money just to get the news over with. Sure it's a great test too with the genetics disorders - but I can get similar tests in conjugation with the nt scan for free. I'm basically doing panorama for the early gender info if I'm being honest with myself and everyone else.Quote:

Assuming the worst of course.

Hi mommas :)
Just been catching up on everyone !! All still good here :) still very disconnected from this pregnancy but starting to get little moments of excitement and having some really good days lately too so maybe that's why. Baby is doing well. NT scan in a week!! Thankfully gender is the last thing on my mind, I will be very happy with another DD :D
Hitme that chart is wrong for a few of mine :) I think it's sweet of your ex to send it he obviously understands GD - are you guys still close?
Hitme- cool he was thinking of you. Can't say I have any exes on my fb lol.
Genetetic testing- I am rather against it and have not had it for any of my children. Only reason I would do it now if I did is 100% for gender which I have never found out either. At least now the newer harmony and tests like it seem to have a much lower rate of false positives.
Atsaukina- yeah genetic testing is a personal choice for sure but I'm very glad that we have access to it. I didn't do testing for the previous pregnancies as I didn't like the thought of doing an amnio but I love that this just takes my blood.

Partly why I'm disconnected also I would imagine.Quote:

Junie, I can't wait for your results, I'll be praying that everything turns out good. Also, OT but I can't stop staring at your signature. Those two little smileys remind me so much of my boys. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones but I'm sitting here thinking I would love another little boy that loves trucks, dinosaurs, airplanes, and most of all their mama. :) I'm just thankful to add another LO to our bunch. I'm sure that's how we all feel, regardless of the gender. I know the baby's health was definitely something that made me nervous, because I figured after two healthy pregnancies I was "due" for some complications. So far it's been good so let's just keep praying for healthy LOs for everyone!!
ETA: Just to clarify, I meant the pregnancy hormones are what's making me react so strongly to little smileys, ...it sorta sounded like I was saying the hormones were the only reason I was hoping for a boy.
Agree. I've never had a false positive but knew if I did have one that the only option to be sure would be amnio and that's scares me. Remind me your age again Junie? I'm 39, so it does put me closer to the age that the risks are higher.Quote:

This is a support forum, you'll only ever get support from me - never judgement.

I agree Junie. I wouldn't do the amnio either. Def. A personal choice that each of us have our own pros and cons for:) I'm of "advanced" maternal age lol and I was with my last one too:)
How are you feeling HealthyG?Quote:

Just the first trimester screening.
Like all of us here I have a lot of feelings when it comes to gender and I just want to 100% know and move on with love for whatever sex child is coming. The sooner the better ;)
For those of you who might possibly be having a 2nd boy I just have to say that if it does happen that it can be so darn sweet watching them together. My sons are like each others biggest fans and especially now that they're a bit older (3 and 5 1/2) they play together so well and in fact their favorite thing to do is sleep together in a sofa bed and pretend they are having a sleepover with each other. It is really really wonderful. Of course my pregnancy hormones are making me feel a bit emotional at the moment :)
Wow this thread is moving so fast.
I'm doing well hitme. Still no symptoms except for sore boobs and occasional stomach cramping at night when I toss and turn.
My ultrasound is scheduled for this Friday.
Junie glad to hear how your 2 boys are together. That's pretty sweet.

It really helps when you guys talk so fondly of seeing your boys together. I have often thought of what it would be like to see my ds with his brother and it does make me feel positively about it. I love having a boy so I know I would equally love 2. I love the way he lines up all his cars and trucks and he's obsessed with dinosaurs and any type of lorry or digger! Love <3
I know you guys have heard me yammer about this before but there is something amazing about having 2 boys. I will forever be thankful for my "two pairs". :heart:Quote:
