I feel like I'm in a dream! It's really surreal. For any UK readers, to paint you a picture, I currently look like a Wallace & Gromit character ;)
Holy cow!!! That is so exciting!!! Congats did you do a heavy sway? Oh I hope so badly that I'm as lucky as you are!! How exciting!
Do you have pics?
::Stalking:: Congratulations Northern!!
No potty shots, just more profiles. No sway at all, I'd given up! I just wanted to get pregnant, and was taking aspirin to help implant.
Still feel I'm going to wake up and it be a dream!
Yeahy congrats everyone thinks there sway is lame after they've done it ;-)
Yeahy yeahy congrats yeahy!
Northern -- a huge congrats! That's so so exciting!!! You must be floating on cloud 9. And I do know Wallace and Gromit, hehe. The boys watch it sometimes. :-D
Go shopping, girl!
Congrats Northern! Its so great to see someones dreams come true!!!
I'm so far behind everyone else in our group! I'll just barely be getting my 12 week scan tomorrow, in 16 hours. But everyone else in our group is finding out the gender..... I won't find out until May because we aren't paying for a private scan. We did that with Ds1 and it was $150 (I know they are cheaper now) but after I just kept thinking of all the things I could have bought for him with that money if I wasn't so impatient! If we had the money then I would totally do it. DH is in his 2nd year of a medical residency, and they pay residents pennies. But once he starts practicing on his own and making real doctor money, we will be able to afford things......new things, not always thrift store things lol!
Oh my gosh northern get off the Internet stop buying stuff ;-)
Ah so much more nervous about mine now!
Thorz hours till scan please!
Hey thorz know where you're coming from I'm paying 80 quid to find out four weeks earlier!
I know it's a bit crazy but can't not know when I could lol
Congrats Northern, what a great news.
Thorz good luck tomorrow and don't forget to get the nub shot!
Off to see consultant tomorrow about birth plans agh really a million miles from my pre twin home birth plan ;-(
Northern!!!!!!! I'm SO happy for you!!! Reading the last two pages of overnight posts was like a cliff hanger here, but what a great ending!! Congratulations!
Mum23, it's amazing how much numbers do our heads in in this sort of situation. Your results actually sound good overall, but once you get a scary figure it's hard to relax until you know more. I hope you get some peace of mind soon. That nub looks so boyish though, and it sounds like the sonographer thought you had a high chance of boy too!
Thorz lactulose is fantastic if you can get it. I've been finding fibre makes it worse this time round too, I've been taking a senna-and-something-or-other tablet which is a bit naughty but such a relief!! That, coffee, avoiding bread, and drinking water like im a fish seems to be working for the most part.
So..just wondering! What do you gals say when ppl ask you if your hoping for the oppisite gender? Of course I have been getting the are you wanting a boy, I hope its a boy, and even its a boy! Comments non-stop lately! I dont know why but its starting to bother me! I know its to be expected but Im just not sure how to respond. I usually say, yes that would be nice or we wouldnt mind a boy..but I feel akward about it and usually stumble over my words! Lol I hate all the pressure and am really debating weather I should even find out the gender..
Hey know exactly how you feel we've never found out before I haven't told anyone we have an early scan so I may tell people after the 20 wk that we bottled it and didn't find out I think partly it depends on what the outcome is lol!
Most of my friends know I want a girl thou none know we swayed, with the twin shock I thoughtlessly told everyone we would find out but certainly if its boy boy I don't think I'll share
Everyone says to me oh it'll probably be two boys and I kinda just yeah probably
Lol this comes up a lot and I say that boys are all I know and having 4 boys would be fun! Or that I wouldn't even know what to do with a girl. If its someone I'm close enough with, they already know my deep desire for a girl! And those that don't know don't need to know lol
I get that too... O I bet you want a girl this time... Blah blah blah! And with ds2 being autistic I just simply say nope normal is all I ask for... Cause in reality that's the truth... I will not be any more excited during this pregnancy if it's a girl cause I think it's special to be having a new baby in general :)
Some days the idea of having a girl scares me too lol
Ridiculous!
Urgh, people love to say this stuff, don't they! I usually say something along the lines of 'it's good either way' a girl would be nice, but then I'm used to boys, and we're already set up for them. No one knows about the swaying except hubby.
Hey can anyone see my ticker btw? I seem to have managed to botch it somehow and haven't been able to fix it yet. Or maybe it's to do with my newbie post count?
I guess my problem is i just havent come up with a come back to cover all my basis lol. I know not finding gender out wont change anything..only continue it until baby is born! Im just sick of ppl bothering me! LOL I think its rude when ppl say oh i bet its another girl! And it annoys me when someone says, I think your having a boy..cuz then I feel like they are setting me up to fail! LOL..Maybe I should just wear a sign that says dont speak to me! :)
Thank you all!
I still can't believe it!
Good luck Thorz for your scan and good luck with your consultant Fish!!
Honey no ur ticker is not visable I think u have to use the HTML version instead
And yes the comments are rude... People don't think! Especially when they really have no idea what it's like
Hate hearing comments off people too, I'm only just over 12 weeks so haven't had many. I know how much deep down I want a girl thou and I don't want anyone else except close friends to know. Think I'm going to be a bit snappy if I get any comments! We all just want a healthy baby at the end of the day so I really haven't got patience for comments like (wouldn't it be nice if you have a girl or I bet you really want a girl this time) if I want to say it to someone it's ok, but I don't think I will like hearing it from other people. Rant over now!, p.s been mega grumpy this pregnancy, can u tell!!
Lol I'm super bitch this preg too lol.... So very lovable lmao
I think it's a bit mean for people to tell you they think you're having another of the same gender, and that they,re trying to be kind when they say they think it's the opposite, but either way it unintentionally sets you up to have to respond either with some sort of face saving comment, or to share some pretty personal feelings, and who wants to do that with your SIL's auntie in the aisle at the supermarket!
And thanks Wanting. Looks like I'll have to crack open the real computer then. Lillypie doesnt want to play with the iGadget..
Congrats Northern!
Thorz, I'm only 12 weeks as well. My anatomy scan isn't until May.
When people ask about boy/girl preference I usually say that DH would love a little boy but I quite like the symmetry of 4 of the same.
You ladies make me feel so much better! I really just need thicker skin and a little more back bone!! :)
It's okay to be sensitive... I am too I hang onto things that people say... I just come across really tough to others and always have.. It's a defense mechanism I suppose
Can't see it sorryQuote:

I have my fingers and toes crossed for you that it all works out well. 10 months is a looooong time to go in a pregnancy and little hiccups are bound to appear along the way. This is your big one. Its come at a shock, but I know in a few weeks time it will just be an uncomfortable memory. with my first pregnancy I had no immunity to rubella despite having several vaccinations (my body just wouldnt build immunity) then at 10 wks I came up in a very rubella looking like rash all over my body.... It was a scary time as I had many blood tests over several weeks to check my teeters and we wouldnt know an actual result until the 3 weeks was up.
Anyway, it was all fine, still no explaination to the bizarre rash, but I remember at the time all I could think of was the worst, despite what my family was telling me. The worst possible outcome is such a small chance, soooooo many other reasons for your bloods being that way are much more likely, and much less a worry - if that makes sense
Keep us all posted, we are all here for you x x x
pps - my sister's NT scan sounds very similar to yours. Still overall the risk was "low risk" but she had very low PAPP-A and so her bloods bumped up that element of the calculations.Quote:

Yes, lactalose or actilax is safe during pregnancy and will work if the fibre is not. There are 3 types of laxatives, pushers, softeners and fibre.Quote:

Lactalose is a softener and will help soften everything in the bowel so your fibre can work to push it through.
My daughter has severe bowel problems so im an expert unfortunately!! I have used her lactalose from time to time during my pregnancies.
Here in Aus, you can just get it over the counter - you dont need a script for it.
Mix it with fruit juice not water - I find it far to sweet and sickly to just mix it with water, however my daughter has it this way and doesnt mind it x
good luck!!
