Ps guys I'm still faking it till I make it. Had another PP birth announcement yesterday on Facebook which set me back, it's always like a slap in the face watching couples have their boy then girl or vice versa.
I feel like I'm such a good hard working person and the universe keeps slapping me in the face and trying to knock me down. I did HT which failed, worked so hard to save for that journey and came home empty handed. DH side of the family is all boys except for his 1 sister after 4 boys. I was the first serious partner and the expectations was for me to have the first granddaughter after years of being together, then DHs brother and his ice addict gf get pregnant after 3 weeks of meeting have a boy then a year later have the first girl pp bam just like that so easy. She also really wanted a girl and got it the whole family was thrilled to finally have a girl in the family and to make matters she was born the day of my d&c after a year ttc. Then DH next brother meets a girl and bam PP again. They all brag about their daughters and you can tell they favor them are all ex ice addicts, hardly work, I won't be able to be around them for ages. I feel like a joke and that gives my anxiety.

I agree with the other ladies that there seems to be anxiety but I also think there is other stuff maybe in the mix. I have felt like this during this pregnancy and at other times when I have not been pregnant. I am not saying this is in anyway what is going on for you, just thought it would be useful to know that others have experienced the same, so your not on your own but also my perspective and understanding of what it is about for me.Quote:

Additionally, a thought that am a failure and never good enough. These thoughts and feelings belong to my early experiences and have been long since dealt with, however, at anxious times they become re-activated so when I encounter daily every day situations that are similar, it if I think someone is getting their needs met to my detriment, or getting things easily, or am not getting what I want or I try to do something and fail, I reacte very intensely, overreaction because these thoughts and feelings belong to a different time when it made sense to feel like that.
For me trying to relax will help for the duration of the relaxation but until I understand and resolve the underlying issues it will continue to happen. Again not saying this is anything to do with your experience, which showing you how I understood a similar experience that happened to me. X o
I have my rescan today at 4 :15 pm, am so nervous! Baby would be 12 weeks 2 days, totally going to be nub obsessing even though it is maybe too early. I feel physically sick! X
I find this difficult as well, one of people in a past due date group I was on, unexpectedly got pregnant with a third and said she was going to abort it, because she did not want hassle of another, she has a boy and girl. Then she decided she was going to keep it and then started saying it better be another girl, of course it was! I felt so resentful and now her baby is born and she is sooooo cute and of course she has photos of her on everyday. I wish I did not give a hoot what gender people have, it has absolutely no connection to what I will or won't have but still I cannot help it! XQuote:

Now I have 4. It's less the fact they are all girls and more the fact of like a delay if "oh fuck what did I do" type thing
Some issues with DH and some issues with my mother and pregnancy hormones and I'm sure I have a good idea as to why I am so wired it's more that I can't fix it or slow it down like I want. I'm usually really good about holding stuff inside or at bay so when I lose control it's overwhelming for me
Btw I too have been very outspoken and down right rude to some people including DH... I hate it but I've literally been quite the bitch lately, no nicer term. But my feelings were the opposite lol.. Id swear still I'm having a boy because of the personality change cause I was never like this with any of my girls lol
In other news though baby picked her name. She nudged me when i asked if she liked Samantha, so Samantha she will be..she hasnt nudged to any other name haha.
Burakoam my best friend's name is Samantha. She is the world's kindest, most loyal, protective, big hearted person. I love that name. Re: your mood changes - maybe Samantha is a fighter. :happy:
Back to where I belong now... :wink:
Aaaaaahhhhhh no nub shot, baby was upside down, am gutted! Saw nada. Is it worth putting a scan photo up on here in case you guys seesomething I don't?

They won't do my gender scan until 20 weeks unless they want an earlier scan to look at my fibroids.Quote:

Thats a nice way to pick a name, I work with a Samantha, she is realy lovely.
Cant see much in those pics Girlie, sorry, did the tech say anything?
Lissastick. Are there private ultrasound places that offer 3d scans etc? We have quite a few options here and they all do gender scans from 15 or 16 weeks.
Magical, I'm sorry you keep getting set back hearing about more PPs. It is unfair how it just seems to happen easily for some people.
Girlie, sorry you didn't get a nub shot although I must say the 3 weeks I obsessed over the nub wasn't that fun. I kept swapping between hopeful and then telling myself it was probably going to rise and be a boy. It's hard to know what is better.
Hi ladies, it's been a while since I've been in here. I have been feeling really down lately... I'm such a wreck about this stupid anterior placenta and not being able to feel my baby move. I saw my OB on Monday and of course she couldn't find her heartbeat... I knew it was probably because of the placenta, but was still very nerve wrecking. She quickly scanned me... like less than a minute. We were able to see a heartbeat, but the scan was so quick I couldn't really get a good look. I had to ask the Dr if her heart looked ok... she nodded with a yes... I'm sure she would've said otherwise. I absolutely love being pregnant and LOVE LOVE LOVE feeling my baby move- This is my last pregnancy and it really makes me sad that I haven't really felt her and I'm feeling like I can't bond with her. My hubby still doesn't talk about her other than we hosted his moms bday party this past weekend at our house and he had me wrap up an ultrasound pic to give to her and she was so excited she was crying. Then my hubby asked her if she wanted to keep it. I know he was joking, but it made me so mad- especially because it was in front of his entire family. He hasn't come to any OB appointments except the NT scan and now probably the Anatomy scan. He's always come to every appointment. Other than my slightly growing stomach I hardly feel pregnant and the lack of bonding worries me a little. Anyways... thanks for listening to me rant for a sec. Hope you are all doing well and I will try to catch up beyond this page when I can.
Boo on no nub shots Girlie... Sweet baby, but I cant make anything out one way or another... and I am not good at the skull theory.
Magical, sorry to hear about your setbacks... sending you extra hugs!
Lissa- Here in California we have "one" ultrasound place that will do gender scans as early as 13 weeks- they've always been very accurate too which surprises me... and they're only $25. Most places around here only do them after 15 weeks though. Hopefully 20 weeks comes soon for you!!
Lovely name Burakoam- still have no idea on a name here yet. I was just saying today that I have always had a baby's name in mind one gender or the other and this time nada!!
Definitely a boy for us [emoji170]

For what its worth magical (and i know its not much, believe me..) i am so jealous. I am sure he is beautiful. congratulations.
Brandles i am sorry. DD3 and this one were anterior and so i didnt feel them like i felt my first two and so i understand the feelings that come along with it. Thats the only enjoyable part of pregnancy for me too so it sucks. I am thoroughly ashamed at your husband. Accidents happen and he should adjust accordingly. Of course you wouldnt want to abort your baby just because she wasnt planned. and your daughter will probably love a sister. if nothing else can get you through this brandy start picturing how wonderful it will be for your girls to have one another. they will need nobody else later in life. Sister can be a really wonderful thing. If for nobody else for her, you are giving her a great gift.
Hope you are ok? :) how old are your older boys?Quote:

That does actually make me smile, I feel like everyone pity's me and I'm jealous of everyone else. It's nice to hear someone is actually jealous of me [emoji846]. I'm so jealous of you I wish I could swap you pregnancies [emoji5]Quote:

Yeah. And he's not paranoid about anything else. So...I'm kind of stuck there.
I'm starting to bond with baby. I think I might be OK with not knowing until December or January. I am impatient, but, I really have it on my head that it's another boy. I don't think there will be any negative emotions if I'm wrong. I'd be shocked. I feel like I won't get what I want both times. I wanted my current son so bad and I feel out of this world lucky to have him.
I keep telling people that I will eat my shoe if it's a girl. I'm that sure that I am having a boy.

Magical - congrats on ds3. I do think it's lovely, and I'd come to terms with this one being another boy, to the point that I don't really feel it's real, despite two ultrasounds telling me it's a girl! I've bought one thing girlie which is a pink hood for my pushchair, otherwise I've got nothing!!! I really feel like I'm holding back, not really sure why though...x
i see him magical :) the hand must be really yummy...did mommy eat something good before the ultrasound? lol
Nothing exciting, toast and Vegemite [emoji846][emoji1360]Quote:

I've had a few scans but no answers about gender I have posted some pic in the gender prediction group of my latest one :) unfortunately most of my scan techs aren't willing to let me know what they think lols hopefully I can go again in a few weeks :)
Lissa, I totally just lol'd about you eating your shoe. Where in SoCal are you? We are in Orange County!!
Burakoam, thank you... I really am looking forward to her having a sister. My sister and I are 8 years apart- I always wanted a sister closer in age growing up, but we are besties now and I don't know what I'd do without her.
Magical, that is the cutest picture... love it!!!!
3'sacharm- I am jealous you have an anterior placenta and can feel baby move... I want to feel her so bad. Praying it happens soon. It's making me a nervous wreck.
Brandles, mine is anterior too and I feel movements but I think they are less than with my boys. I get worried when I haven't felt any for a while so it must be hard not feeling anything yet. It does sound like it is normal when the placenta is blocking them. Hopefully you start getting movements soon!
I have been sorting out some baby clothes and things today. I got a few items at the school fair so I have a reasonable collection now.
I see him magical, how cute!
Welcome pink and pink dust, I swayed pink as well!
I am thinking of booking the harmony test, am struggling with anxiety about something been wrong with the baby and about what it is. The place am getting it done at said they will let you know the results via a telephone call, email or letter. I don't know what is best, letter will be too slow, leaning towards email than phone call, any Thoughts? I am absolutely worried sick :-(
Girlie it is absolutely normal to feel worried that there may be something wrong, but most of the time it is unnecessary, if you do need the test results to feel relief I would probably prefer an email. Big hugs
All natural feelings, I think email or phone call.Quote:
