Just popping in to say I got contractions super duper early this pregnancy. Sometimes even when I just touched my abdomen my uterus would contract. Weird. But I'm now 29 weeks and all is going well Thank God. But they are so scary when they come that early!!!
Mommy to 5 with number 6 due in June!!
Thanks, that is good to know.Quote:

Congrats crd!!
Hi sorry I'm crashing. I got my bfp a few days ago. I wont be part of your group as my due date will be 25.12.16. I'm just wondering when did the sickness start with you all. I never really experienced with my boys. The odd day here and thee but much more into pregnancy. I'm 12dpo and this morning I have woke up feeling sick and non productive retching. Sorry tmi. Either it's morning sickness or I'm coming down with something.

Congrats! I have had the stomach flu several times, as well as tummy issues but not morning sickness. .. at least not like I had with my boys. With my boys- ds1 I was sick b4 I knew I was preg & my other 2 boy pregs it hit around 7-8 weeks. We don't know what we are having this time so no clue if the difference this time is gender based.Quote:

Thankyou twinintow. Guess I was just wondering if it can start as early as 12dpo!

I've been trying to avoid all boards because I'm freaking the F out. I know dh is probably going to get the results this week and I'm so nervous and scared for him. I really think it's worse to sway for someone else. I could handle my own emotions but it will be hard to see him sad. Hopefully he can be a good actor.
I posted on another thread about a vivid dream I had where someone revealed the sex to us and he thought it said boy at first but it said girl. He was so excited, then so sad and I was crying in my dream!! I've never had such a realistic dream and it's scaring me that it's a girl. I almost wish I hadn't swayed because I tried sooo hard and did so much that it's going to be tough if it's a girl. Obviously we'll love her but the fact that he's finding out so soon is giving me anxiety.

Quinn- I can't imagine swaying for someone else. That will definitely be tough, but he had to know you tried your absolute hardest and did everything you could. I feel the same way about my own sway... So much so that my hubs told me to do the sneek peak DNA test and I haven't ordered it because I'm so nervous to get an actual answer.
What we go through swaying is such a rollercoaster and once we finally get that BFP it's all out of our hands. I've never felt so helpless. I'm sorry you're so stressed about it. Just have faith that it's going to be okay no matter what, take a deep breathe and try to relax.
Are you finding out too??

Yeah I think he knows I really did all I could. I was freaking out so much today, he assured me he will be happy regardless. It will take time but he will eventually be okay. He already told me he'll cry of its a girl, lol. I knew that since he cried last time.
When will you find out? I would love to know if it's a boy but don't want to know if it's a girl so I've been trying to hint that he could tell me if it's a boy. [emoji6]
It really does feel helpless and I just want to enjoy this since it's my last pregnancy!

I'm 10 weeks so I won't find out until the 15 week scan. I thought about ordering the sneak peek Dna test but it had mixed reviews. Someone else told me to get intelligender but because I lean a little towards pcos, I don't think it will be accurate for me.

Does your practice do any nipt tests like Harmony or matenit21? I don't qualify for insurance coverage because I don't meet the criteria but the test my midwives use is only $100 max. I figured why not.Quote:

I feel for you! 5 weeks seems like an eternity! I have 2-5 days left and every minute feels like an hour waiting and willing my phone to ring. And we have a little over 4 weeks until thr big surprise for my Grandma and that seems an eternity away. But we'll both get there.... eventually lol.Quote:

Hi! I'm popping in to congratulate everybody! I'm currently on track with an EDD of Sept 20th, just got our 17w scan and Harmony test results and both say we're having a little girl. I'm so excited!!! Just to add to the Harmony/NIPS processing time, I had my blood drawn on April 6th (afternoon) and got called with results on April 11th (morning). I was surprised they had them so soon since I was told 1-2 weeks.
I'm so happy to be in the 2nd trimester -- had nausea 24/7 from week 5 through week 13 and the only thing that would help a little was lying down flat. I was soooo miserable and couldn't even sit upright without feeling mega carsick. Since week 14, it was a couple good days, then a really bad day, and so on. I'd say from the start of week 16, it's been good days mostly with the random bad wave of nausea (like last night!). I've been taking b6 + Unisom to manage it and will continue until my next OB appt @ 18w.
Boo! That's sucks! Have you looked into like state aid or something? It's better to have something just in case! Things can get expensive FAST even with zero complications!Quote:

Other than occasional nausea I wasn't really getting sick until 7 weeks.Quote:

Now that my blood work has been done I'm terrified. Like, it feels like it makes it more definite. I mean, it was out of my hands as soon as we conceived but now it feels like my hope of ever having a girl is about to quickly come to an end :-(
I mean it goes without saying of course I'll love another sweet boy so much, I know you ladies understand the complex emotions of gender desire.
Lauren I don't know anything about sneak peak, have you ordered it?
Wow.... hoping mine comes sooner than expected! Today would be nice lol, but I highly doubt it. I had a question so I just called and no results yet and I was told it takes a day to get the samples to the lab. So, I thought yesterday made a week but apperantly today does :/ which means unless they come back in less than 10 days Ill be waiting until Monday at least as day 10 will be on a Saturday :/ I am anxious to know that, at least chromosomally, baby is healthy. Thanks for the input!Quote:

Is there anywhere in the UK to get those harmony type tests done (preferably Cardiff area South wales) and at what week can you have it done?

I can't speak for the UK part but I was told 10-14 weeks is best.Quote:

We don't qualify for anything like that. My husband runs a large company here and we just choose to cash pay. Always have. I wouldn't do the testing for chromosomal reasons so I can't justify the purchase for just gender lol.Quote:

Pretty accurate but not 100% and can't diagnose an issue, just points to the potential there is one. Basically after a certain point baby and mommy's blood mingle together so they can get baby's cells from mommy's blood then they just look at the chromosomes of baby. Not sure how they tell a girl baby cells from mom's but somehow they can.Quote:

Cool if things go well I would like to know ad soon as possible what we are having! It's 20 weeks to wait for a gender scan here and I just think that's far too long to wait. Last time I asked for a nub scan pic too the refused said it was silly nonsense

That was rude :(Quote:

I'm not holding out hopes I will get a look at the nub this time either. When did you all contact your doctor to get the ball rolling for your antenatal care? I don't technically miss my period until Friday!Quote:

That was a good way of putting it. I guess since I had the test, I now feel like all these dreams and hard work are coming to an end. I wish I was more positive but after two girls, it doesn't seem like I can produce boys.Quote:

I had my blood drawn last Tuesday so we should hear about the same time.Quote:

Last week was fine but this week I'm really nervous. I shouldn't be since dh isn't supposed to tell me as long as the baby is healthy. I was really hoping he'd get them today and then be so excited it's a boy, he had to tell me, lol. I don't see that happening.Quote:

Quinn- A nervous wreck. The gender I definitely want to know. I'd be lying if I pretended I didn't care. BUT I keep getting this panic-y feeling that it will come back showing a problem. And I am off work the rest of the week so I have nothing but time on my hands. Tried to "spring clean" today but started contracting again so I am resting again now :/

At first I was trying to focus on gender because thinking about health made me too scared, now they're both freaking me out. Everyone on my birth board had their Progenity results in a week so I was hoping for today but I don't know. I actually want to avoid dh so I don't find out I am feeling better about another girl. I'd be sad to never raise a boy but I love my girls.Quote:

nope. Just my kids lol and they are more worried about electronics lol. Hubby will be home soon but he's not much of a chatter box unless I am in a mood and don't want to be bothered lol, then he'll talk my ear off. Go figure!Quote:

He seemed a little off and kind of annoyed with my stupid question but I'm hopeful that either they didn't call him with the results or he was just trying to play it off. I feel like if he had just heard girl, he would have been more obviously upset.

Oh no, so frustrating. I couldn't do it. I'd have to know (((hugs)))Quote:

If he wants to tell me in a couple weeks/months when he has his emotions under control, I'm okay with that. He was visibly sad when we found out about dd2. I know he didn't want to be and he is a great girl dad but it was obvious. I spent the rest of my pregnancy sad for him. I just wanted to enjoy this one because it's my last pregnancy. Finding out in general is not something I'm opposed to.Quote:

What was wrong with her baby? That's so sad.Quote:

She won't disclose right now. She's so heartbroken. It was her first baby and he took a year to conceive. She was so excited to find out if it was a boy or a girl and instead found out he won't make it. [emoji22]Quote:
