How long now Thorz? Sending pink vibes!
Three days til mine. Not that I'm counting... Much.. I've been looking up boys names so I've got something I can relate to if it goes that way. I remember last time I had a boys name I'd been in love with for ages, and somehow it helped being able to think of him with a name straight away, gave him a personality. I'm trying not to think about my girls name list..
10 more hours! I'm not going to be able to sleep. It's 10:30 pm here and I'm usually about to fall asleep but I'm not tired at all! So my appt is at 8:30 am my time, but after I need to pick ds2 up and take him to a play date, I'll try to get back to you guys before then!
Thorz -- I hope you get some great nub shots! By the way, when I was looking for elective scan places, there are two in Columbus that have a spring special now for the quick peek gender determination. $65. Maybe if you book it now for a few weeks from now, you'd still get the special? ;)

So I just had to deal with this so for the first time also!! I haven't had to deal with it before pregnant or not so I didn't know what to do either. I think I waited to long for laxatives and stool softeners to work. I think I got dehydrated and so everything came to a halt and I was in pain and it was making me sick (vomiting) and so I was getting more dehydrated. Anyway, the ONLY thing that worked for me was fleet. I seriously thought I was going to end up in the ER if I couldn't get things moving and that stuff worked and it worked right away. I tried fiber, water, magnesium citrate, stool softeners, walking, etc. and I was only getting worse. Good luck to you cause I know it sucks!! Since I got things moving I have made sure I am drinking enough water and I am taking a small amount of Calcium/magnesium/citrate to keep things moving.Quote:

We didn't do any elective scans with DS1 or DS2 and now I wish we would have (and I don't spend money on much). Those images/video you will have for the rest of your life. I know it seems hard to believe cause I know how it is to be a stay to home Mom and completely broke just hoping that one day you will be able to breath easy when it comes to money, but one day soon you will be able to buy new things and not shop and thrift stores and clip coupons because you want to not because you have to. I totally understand where you are coming from though!! Good luck tomorrow!!Quote:

Oh no!! :( Fingers crossed it was just something he ate and not a viral gastro. If he's stopped vomiting by tomorrow morning you could take him in with you. I gather hubby isn't able to help?
Oh no Thorz... hopefully he is better by the morning and can go with you!! Looks like you are in for a long night:(
Oh no Thorz you really should go could a neighbour watch him?
I'm waiting for my appointment now 20 min late and my minder has to do nursery run at 11.30 :nails:
Hard if you bring them hard if you leave them ;-(
My girls have been sick over the last week but they've all only vomited twice and fine thereafter. Hopefully it's nothing!
I had a good talk to my ob today who was very calming and nearly talked me out of any additional testing. Maybe! She pretty much said that my USS was so normal that she wasn't worried. I may still go the Mat21 but I feel a million times better.
Good luck Thorz!
Fish, I didn't realise your scan was next week! So exciting.
Thorz: I'm sorry about your ds. I really hope you can figure out a way to go. Fingers crossed that he's feeling better this morning!
Mumto3girls: I'm happy you had a good talk with your OB. All those tests are so scary. I agree that if your u/s looked good that is a GREAT sign. :)
Do dreams drive anyone else crazy?! They have a way of affecting my mood the next day. The last 2 nights I have had gender dreams. The other night it was a dream that we were at a clothing store and dh was insisting that I buy the girl clothes. Then last night I was having a dream that had nothing to do with babies or gender but at the end I saw a u/s pic with an obvious boy nub. So now I'm feeling bummed. Ugh, it's annoying!
hope you got to go to your u/s thorz!!!!! i will be stalking now :)
i have so many gender dream all boys and yes they drive me insane!!! although im happier with these dreams then the ones i was having when preg with ds3... the one night i had a dream ds2 was shot in the head and it was so real and vivid i didnt sleep for a week i cryed for days and still to this day 3 years later it is fresh in my head and really bothers me
That dream sounds awful!! So sorry! :( As for having all boy dreams.. Your nub looks really girly!! I read somewhere that our dreams are a good indicator of gender but I just don't know. I think it can be thrown off by gd for sure!Quote:

This pregnancy is pretty much the same as my boys. The only difference is I have heartburn really bad. I'm trying not to think that much about OWT's either. It will drive you crazy! I'm really scared to find out the gender. I've even been thinking about waiting until birth. My dh says he can't do that and needs to know... I don't know if he could keep it a secret from me. All I know is if I find out it's a boy, I'm not telling anyone for awhile. With ds2, I let dh talk me into telling everyone right after the u/s. Ugh, I was a wreck and had no time to cope on my own before I started hearing comments.
Thorz I think we're in the same time zone (EST)?? Hope you were able to go to your appt and saw a healthy bouncing baby!!!
Hey all been to the consultant this morning and found twin two doesn't have a heart beat anymore, total gutted ;-(
Oh no! I'm so so sorry!!! :(
Oh fish I am so so so sorry. Praying for Twin 1 and sending huge ((((hugs))). :(
Oh no! Fish I am sooooo sorry to hear this. *hugs* I'll pray for all of you. Hope you feel better. I'd share my big bag of m+ms with you to help you feel better if I could. *big hugs*
The consultant scanned twin one, defiantly not identical so first one should be okay mmts normal and no sign of brain damage
I'm very lucky this is my first loss and finding it very hard and very worried about other baby ;-(
Private scan on thurs for gender thou I truly do t care now and another next wed on nhs
OMG fish i am sooo sorry!!! i hope you are feeling okay... i hope that the other twin is happy and healthy
Fish I'm so very sorry for your loss :(
Oh Fish I am so heartbroken for you.:broken: Wish I could think of the right thing to say, I'm just so sorry. Glad to hear twin 1 is healthy, will be keeping you in my thoughts.
Fish, I'm so so sorry to hear this ;( I don't know what to say. If I knew we were closer I'd come down to see you.
I'm so sorry ;(
OMG Fish I am so so so sorry! Im glad to hear the other baby is doing well.
Well I have been feeling totally gutted and deflated after my scan, but Fish reminds me, that truly gender doesn't matter and that a happy healthy baby is truly what I want. Still, I will need a moment, days, or weeks to mourn the loss of the dream of having a daughter!!!!! My dr said she thinks boy!!! I'm upset because they don't do videos and they don't allow us to video tape it either......LAME!!!!! Well I saw the nub throughout the scan and it is long and forked, but I cannot tell on angle. However, the pics that I got (are terrible) show partial nub and it looks totally angled up! So since Doc thinks boy, I am just planning on boy 100% and moving on from my dream of having that beautiful baby girl! Heartbeat was 170 which is WAY higher than my other 3. ALL 3 of my boys had heartbeats in the 140's. Ugh, maybe if I come up with a good name for him and buy something new especially for him, I will feel better.... sorry about the quality of these pics........Baby was measuring at 13w2d Attachment 9823Attachment 9827
OMG Fish I am so deeply sorry! I can totally understand your fear about twin number one now. It is very comforting to know that it is ok and they were not identical. I am so sorry for your loss though. This is heartbreaking. :sad:
Oh No!!!!! Im sooooooooo sorry :sad:Quote:

Thorz, I don't know but I don't see boyish parts at all. The thing pointing up is way too huge for a nub, isn't it?
Still crossing my fingers for you, though I truly understand you want to prepare for another boy. :luck:
Many congrats Northern!!! Fantantastic news!!Quote:

Thorz I don't know if that is really conclusive Hun when's your next scan?
Thanks all for good wishes bit shell shocked :-(
Fish -- I am so so sorry! My heart is breaking for you. Please take good care of yourself as you start the process of mourning this little baby. Prayers that your other baby is healthy and will continue to do well...big hugs to you!
Thorz -- I really don't see anything clear on there to indicate this baby's gender. I know that in part, assuming it's a boy is a protective mechanism but really, it's just hard to tell from these pics. I am glad the baby is looking healthy though! Hang in there and don't assume it's a boy. You just don't know at this point!
Thanks ladies, you are all so nice! I think for me it is just best to plan on boy and start the healing process now! I want to be able to enjoy the 2nd trimester, as it is usually the only time I feel good. In a few months I wont even be able to walk because of my hips!!
Fish, I know I already said how sorry I am, but you are in my prayers!!
Thorz- I'm glad you got to finally see your sweet baby! Like the others said I don't think I can really see a clear nub in your pics. I know how hard it can be to accept (I was a complete mess after my CLEARLY boyish nub with DS3). The one good thing was that by the time I went for my 20 week u/s I was far enough along with my GD that I was able to enjoy seeing him on the screen and start to bond with him.
I hope the doctor was wrong for you, hang in there.
Thanks, the more I think about it, when she did a potty shot, she said the cord was in the way, but I didn't see ANYTHING no cord no penis no nothing!!! I'm not going to get my hopes up because I would like to be like you, by the time this 20 week ultrasound rolls around, I would like to enjoy my little guy and be over the GD! I have prayed really hard to be ok with 4 boys, I don't think that takes away my desire for a girl, so I will still need to mourn that, however, It has definitely made my GD SO MUCH EASIER to handle this time than last. With DS3 I was a mess. I don't think I'll even cry this time if it is a boy. The power of prayer has really helped me, and I have come to realize that boy or girl, this is my special child from god that was meant to be here with me and my family!!!!! I'll be fine really I will..... But seeing baby girls will just make me sad for probably the rest of my life lol!Quote:

Thorz, like I said in the USS thread if she didn't focus on the nub angle in the scan then the prediction is meaningless. There's nothing boyish in the pics, I think you're back to 50:50.
Thorz you sound like you are in a really good place no matter what happens at your next scan!
