I hope you dont mind me popping in! I read in here every once in a while since
Im Due the very end of May!
3boys sorry about your scan :(. I don't want to give false hope but my peri kept telling me it was a boy at my nt scan (despite the tech who did not agree ) and I had friends who told me that specific peri is always right. Anyway, he was wrong. But again I don't know your drs background.. I know despite my peris insistence he did admit that nub theory even with clear nubs was only 80% accurate
my gut instinct has also been wrong all 4 times. I was sure ds1 was a girl same with ds2. By three I was sure I couldn't make girls and it was a girl. And this time I told the tech I know it's a boy and I was wrong .. Again!!
Hi spinning!! :) pop in any time..! ;)
3boys.. I hope he was wrong, but if he's not, I know that you will make it through this time and once he's here, you'll never feel sad that you made him. Huge hugs honey.. xoxo
3boys, I am so sorry you didn't hear what you were hoping for. All of us totally understand and are here for you. You must allow yourself time and don't feel awful for the way you are feeling. The way I see it (and I am sure another lady wrote this as well) is that any of us are not sad about the boy we are having but the girl we may never have. This is something you are allowed to feel. We are all thinking of you....
I'm so sorry you didn't hear girl 3 boys, I think the other girls have said it all - there is no need to feel guilty about how you feel, it is a natural emotion and something you are entitled too. Take time to process the news and be kind to yourself. I just read your sway and it was killer so it was nothing you didn't do - this little boy just fought to be in your lives and that is truly special xxx

I know right now you probably feel very sad, it's totally understandable, but we'll be fine in the end when we'll see our little ones in our arms. I wish I could give you a big hug sweetie. How did your hubby take it? Does he understand your GD?

So sorry you are feeling so sick Violet, hope you will be feeling better soon. It's so upset to feel miserable and not up to doing anything :(Quote:

cvd- glad you got to hear that heartbeat finally:) that is a long time to wait you are a very patient mama:) I already wanna hear mine but know they won't be able to pick up w/ just a doppler for awhile.
3boys- so sorry you didn't hear pink. holding out for that 5% for you and peace for you either way.
Hi ladies! I just found out that I'm having identical twins!!!!! I'm still in shock!
Baby A is measuring 5 weeks 6 days. We saw a heart beat! Baby B is smaller. We did not see a heartbeat but we are hoping it's just too early to see the heartbeat. I'm praying the babies are ok. My due date changed to 8/6/2013. Please pray for my babies!
Thanks dreaming :)Quote:

So happy for you Sunflower, that's great news :) I had my first ultrasound at 6weeks cause I had some spotting and gynae couldn't find heartbeat yet, it was too small. She tried and tried and finally we saw a dot on the monitor which seemed to be going on and off and we assumed it was the heartbeat but we were not 100% sure. I wouldn't worry that much at this stage cause it is very very early. I hope your babies will both be fine and you'll have the gender of your dreams :)Quote:

Thinking of you 3boys, I know it's too early but I'm just hoping you feel slightly better than yesterday. I keep thinking about you today and of how upset you might be feeling as I'm seeing myself in that same situation in a few day's time and I know I'm gonna feel miserable. There are times when I feel ok about having a boy,other times I just feel miserable and start crying. I guess we just had to let it all out. I feel so bad for all of us with GD. Praying you will be fine very soon dear! :hug2:
ooooh...lemon sorbet..I think you just might have triggered my next craving. I'll be making a stop today to pick that up! LOLQuote:

I'm really thankful for this virtual space where I can fiind other women who understand EXACTLY how I feel and won't judge me for it. There's really no-one in my real life that can offer me the same support...not even my DH. He just doesn't get how badly I ache for a daughter. I've even thought of slipping off by myself to have an elective gender scan without him...I don't want to have to pull myself together for his benefit when we find out. Sometimes I think I want to find out all alone so I can just be a mess for a bit. Maybe take a day off work, get the scan alone in the morning, spend the afternoon by myself eating and crying and painting my nails.Quote:

3boys - I am so sorry that you didn't hear pink. How far along are you now? It's very possible that you still have a girl in there, if it's still really early! Either way though, we are all here for you. My heart goes out to you, and I hope you will be okay. Please know that we're all here for whatever you need. (((hugs))) to you...
cvd - That's so great that you got to hear the heartbeat!! Congrats to you!! :)
Sunflower - CONGRATS on the twins!! How exciting!! How were they able to tell that they're identical this early? Were they sharing an amniotic sac? Oh and don't worry about not seeing a hb on the second baby yet - 5w6d is still very, very early!
Yes they are sharing one amniotic sac. And it is still very early so I hope we can see a heart beat at our next scan.
sunflower- omg twins!!!! and didn't you get your bfp like at 12dpo?? awesome!! what made you get us sound early? how are you feeling???? congrats congrats so awesome!!!! now make dh do all the housework for you so you can grow them babies:)

I thought I was further along based on lmp but they wanted to see me bc I'm suppose to be away next week. Now I'm not so sure we are going away bc I have no energy. .Quote:

Whoa Sunflower that is awesome news! Congrats honey. My bff is due any day now and she is having twin boys. One of her babies is 3 days behind so that is typical. I wouldn't worry too much as I am sure you will be seeing a specialist and have PLENTY of appointments. Next time you go you will surely see both of those babies hearts beating. So thrilled for you love.Quote:

I had my scan yesterday nearly 10 weeks and after studying the US I am convinced I see a upward facing forked nub and the skull is quite boyish not very rounded at the front. Also i have a low lying placenta which is the cause of the spotting i had around the 6th and 9th week which from reading around, seems to happen more often to mums carrying boys AND I had crazy itchy legs at the beginning, which I also read happens more often to women carrying boys....all in all hope is slowly dwindling and I am absolutely dreading my next scan in jan. I also talk mostly about my desire for a daughter here and also to two close friends otherwise no one else. I feel it is a totally under estimated thing and GD is really quite taboo...mostly people say...the main thing is the baby is healthy which is of course true and the sadness and disappointment is not about the son you are having but about the girl you might never have. There was a recent cause of an irish lady in ireland who had two sons and then got pregnant again and it turned out to be twin boys. She went missing in late pregnancy and was found....she had committed suicide and it transpired that she couldn't face the prospect of never having a daughter. Absolutely terrible and tragic story but GD can often be totally socially unacceptable and women are forced to suffer in silence for fear of being misunderstood or public retribution....thank God for this website!!!
Hi Sunflower, huge congrats on the babies. Twins are soooooo cute. Don't worry too much about the heart beat of baby b, i had a scan with my ds2 at 6 weeks and they couldn't find a heart beat then, they weren't at all bothered as they said he was just to early in gestation for it to be detected and he was fine
Ps have you posted your sway hunny?
bis conrgats sunflower....sending you lots of positive thoughts for the two babies! Everything will be fine so try not to worry too much...I know easier said than done.
cvd that is so exciting that you were able to hear Aubree's heartbeat! Yeah I can tell you that the OWT is just that. When I went on Tuesday my baby's hr was 154 but the first time it was in the 160's. I think it has to do with what the bambino is doing at the time. January is going to come so fast. Can't wait!!!Quote:

It's all very exciting!
Congratulations sunflower what special news x
Congrats Sunflower, how exciting.
Heidih, I too read about the poor lady who committed suicide as she was having twin boys. Such terrible news and so awful it would come to that. It made me cry. The other week I was so obsessed about the gender it was consuming me, pracitically crying already thinking it was a boy. I couldn't believe I was going through this already, at 5 weeks pg. Now I am feeling a lot better about it, I still really feel it is a boy and maybe I am coming to terms with it now, I don't know. I know it will be different though when I hear it for certain.
