I can imagine I will be in your situation tommorow night XX - I'm having my blood drawn tommorow for the nipt !! Then the wait begins !!
Still can't believe it I'm so nervous ...
I've decided I'm going to ask them to ring my husband instead of me as I don't know how il react on the phone (drop the phone , pass out , scream , cry , who knows!) so then he can tell me xx

Lol @ BB, I can imagine how you must feel...the phone call part bothers me as I'm sure every time the phone rings I'd be anxious!
Had my 12 week scan today even though i'm technically only 11 weeks and a few days. It was so beautiful to see my little bubs on the screen...it's crazy but in that instant every thing seemed real about me being pregnant. So far everything looks as it should do and for that I'm thankful.
If you ask me I saw boy parts as the ultrasound was being done, but you ladies have already made it clear that 11 weeks is too early so what do I know!!
I've had an NIPT done with my last pregnancy. My hospital has a genetic counselor call with the results. They explain upfront that should there be an abnormal result, a follow up appointment with my provider will be necessary and the office will call to set it up as well as an amino or CVS to further substantiate the results. The gender is reported at the very end before the call is disconnected. Any questions I have will be directed to my provider.
I wish they mailed the results instead, but I guess it's good for people who are not familiar with this sort of thing. I just want to know the results already! I'm worse than a kid on Christmas morning, haha!

On a side note, I've been back and forth about getting the NIPT done but after speaking to my doctor today I'm back to doubting whether I will. If all's well on the NT and blood results (which I should know in 2 weeks) then she reckons I really don't need to and should spend that money on something else for the baby instead...of course I'm anxious to know the gender too but I can't help but think that maybe I should give team green a go since this is our last baby (although I said that the last time!) and have never been team green yet. What are your thoughts guys...ultimately it's our decision but it's nice to know other's opinions too!!
1pinkplease- I think it's hard to see on the scan especially that early so don't worry too much about that . Ive got another scan tommorow so il get to see Bubs again which will be nice .
I was going to go team green but couldn't wait as during my last pregnancy it took over and for me it ruined my pregnancy the anxiety and sleepless nights but if you're more easy going person I think Go for it !
Yes xx she said to me it will be told at the end of the call after saying all ok with baby (hopefully!) not long for us now xx

I would go team green but think sub conciously would only be doing it so I can still think it may be a girl ! Where as finding out draws a line under the hoping and praying and obsessing! It is a lot of money but buying plans, supplements, swaying, pgd etc etc all does doesn't it! Anyway that's just why I'm getting nipt lolQuote:

I think team green or not depends on your personality. I know that I would be initially disappointed when I find out it's a boy, no matter when that happens. So I won't take the risk of going team green, because when that little man is born he deserves to have all of my love and affection without the cloud of disappointment. For me to be ready to meet him as a whole person, not as what I got instead of the girl I wanted. So I want those weeks and months to come to terms with my GD before the birth.
On the other hand, lots of moms report no GD at all once they're holding a real, healthy baby in their arms. Just overcome with love. If you think that would be you, go team green! Honestly I think I'm more selfish than that.
Good luck today BB ... thinking of you x ... oh I can't get enough strawberries either ladytara with natural yoghurt or grapes for that matter 😀

Eat a pint of strawberries for me, ladies! I can't eat any fruit due to a severe fruit aversion doesn't seem to go away [emoji20].Quote:

Oh know , I seem to have aversion to oranges or anything orange. But loving cheese and apple at moment, it's more the crunch and textures.Quote:

Hello new and old friends :) I figured id pop in and join the long wait we all have for our bebes!!!
Update on me: I'm 13 weeks today (woohoo second tri!) morning sickness isn't great, but it's def better than with my daughter! I'm only nauseous in the morning and over bad smells like rotting food or stinky feet (hubby has nasty foot stink..)
So it's been incredibly manageable! So that gives me hope it could be a boy in there! No really good aversions other than sweets. I can do a little here and there, but I immediately have to cut it with something savory. Again, point for the blue! With my daughter all I wanted was chocolate and ice cream! Lastly- my ultrasounds look polar opposite so that makes me happy at least. Ramzi guesses are nearly all boy guesses, cmon ramzi!!! :p
Other than that I'm actually very much enjoying this pregnancy thus far for the most part. I am experiencing horrible headaches however. Never had that with my DD Rowan. And I'm SO exhausted I have step foot in my gym in a month and a half ugh.. but now that I'm officially in the second tri I'm hoping I'll get some mojo back.
Butterflies that ultrasound looks IDENTICAL to my DD!! I know that doesn't really prove anything! But you would think it's the same ultrasound! Girlie guess from me!!! :)
I should add I haven't thrown up this pregnancy!!! I gagged up a little bit once but it was because hubby had juiced his breakfast the day before and didn't clean it out.. so it was fermenting in the sink. So I walked in the house and gagged up a little. But I'm not counting it as throwing up ;) I was puking hourly with Rowan! I'll take this first trimester any day!
Woot woot! Excited for the NIPT being drawn and for a sweet look at Bebe.
I'm only one day behind you, 11/1! [emoji3]

Hi Nanner, thank u for your comment about my ultrasound ! I know it's so early and the nub can rise but thank u anyway :)
All of your symptoms sound promising for a boy - I'm with u doing no exercise I'm hoping in two weeks time when I'm also 13 weeks il feel like getting fit again but I def haven't felt like it since my bfp!
Hoping your bump turns blue! Will u be finding out ? Xx

AFM- I just found out that the lab is sending my doctors office my results of the NIPT tomorrow! The lab said that I should call them if I haven't heard from them by Friday morning! You bet I'm calling them Friday morning!! I sure hope I don't have to wait until Monday! I'm getting SO excited, eek!!

Hey ladies! I hope everyone is doing well especially those dealing with morning sickness. I have a couple of questions (I apologize in advance for the long post) I've had the same OB for 8 years but I have been looking for another doctor because after I did some research I learned that he should have offered me a trial of labor with the DS2 but he refused to even attempt a vbac and me being younger I didn't think to find another doctor. So I found a doctor that is willing to entertain the idea of a Vba2c. So when I found out I was pregnant with this baby (currently 4 weeks and 6 days) I went to the new doctor to have blood work done because of I had a mc before DS2. He said he wasn't going to do any blood work and then I explained that I had to take prometrium with both pregnancies to sustain them so he agreed to do the blood work but that whole night I couldn't sleep because I felt as though he didn't have the same sense of urgency that I did. So I called my first OB and scheduled blood work they got me right in and took my blood work. As I was leaving the doctor's office the new doctor called (it was actually him on the phone and not his nurse) and said that my levels were 492 for hcg and 22 for progesterone. That same day my old doctor's office called (the nurse) and said that my levels were 816 for hcg and 29.2 for progesterone. They both wanted me to come back on Monday for a follow-up. My old doctor called later on that afternoon and said that my hcg level was 4651 and my progesterone was around the same at 29.33 (which she said is awesome). The new doctor just called and said that my hcg level was 34something (I can't remember the exact number) and my progesterone was 17...WTH...why did it dropped and why wasn't he concerned? I don't want to have another mc. Now my question is which result do I go with? It's not like I can tell the new doctor that I've been going to my old doctor as well and their results are way different. (I had the blood work done within 2 hours of each other). Plus, I have to choose a doctor because my insurance is not going to pay for two doctors. So I have to decided rather quickly. I would like to mention that the new doctor understood that I was concerned and said that I can come in next week for an ultrasound so they can hear a heartbeat even though he normally doesn't do them until 8 weeks gestation. Any thoughts? I'm so conflicted.
XX and BB - I am so excited for you guys. Not lang now and you will find out! BB - such a cute baby and I to am leaning girl!
Nann - Hi and welcome! So happy to see another Team Green person here!!! If all goes well with this pregnancy, we will be team green too. But I know I will be searching for a nub on my 12w scan. ;)
ahorn - I am not sure what to tell you other than go with your gut. I will say that I have read that progesterone can change throughout the day, so that may be the cause. Also, different labs can have different reading for levels, so it is gets to compare numbers from the same lab.
afm - still so sick. I actually am having a hart time brushing my teeth (gross, I know) because it is a never ending cycle. Brush teeth, puke and repeat. Poor DH was so worried about me last night as I just could not stop dry heaving in the sink and he was trying to get out of my way to the toilet if I needed it (which he was sitting on waiting for me). I am having a hard time eating breakfast at all and then when I do I am super nauseous. Then if I eat a larger lunch, I am bloated, sick and not hungry at all the rest of the day. Vicious cycle. I need to try to eat smaller meals, but I get so hungry, I can't stop till I am miserable. And the flavor of what I ate will NOT go away. This sucks. Sorry to vent. :(
I would feel better if I did not have this feeling in the back of my mind that all is not well. I don't have my appointment with my Dr till 9w (currently 7w1d). I figure she will try to find the HB with the doppler. If one is not found, I will demand another u/s that day! I am tired of the waiting. I have not told the kids, work, or anyone other than a really close friend about the pregnancy. I want to tell my boss because he is super supportive and a good friend, but I just can't yet.
Also, has anyone encountered food aversions that are sudden? I baked bread the other night because it sounded good. Ate 3 bites and that was all I could eat without puking. And now I look at it and can't even smell it without gagging. I did this last night with an apple pie. Same thing. I have a strong desire to bake something and then can't eat it. So very strange.
Also, any ideas to help the ms. I am so sick today. I have tried pickles, sour stuff, peppermint candies, cinnamon candies, small meals (large meals do make it worse), not eating, crackers, ginger ale. Nothing is helping. And it is not all nausea. I have this overall yuck feeling. I just can't shake it. My poor DH keeps asking what he can do to help and I just tell him I don't know because I can't even pin point what is the matter.
Anyone else feel that way?

I just downed 2 bowls of lentil soup and feel icky.
I'm also team green. I may go get a nub shot, but still debating that.
afm, I finally scheduled a midwife appointment :D I'm not really excited though, all this feeling ill has me not excited about much. I'm counting the weeks until my 3rd tri.
Shannshaff I will totally be looking at skulls and nubs at my next ultrasound! Though I have to wait till 20 weeks for my next US!
:( and as far as ms, are you on unisom??? It is like a godsend for me. Not only does it help me sleep, but I guess the compound in it counters the preggo hormones throughout the next day. If I miss a night, I feel HORRIBLE the next day! But when I start again the next night, immediately I feel so much better the next day!
Ahorn - I agree with shann, go with your gut. And I have read it fluctuates throughout the day, which is why they make you wait at least 24 hours to test again, to ensure its at least doubled. So I wouldn't worry about your numbers! They sound great actually! WAYYY higher than mine at 4-5 weeks! I was only at 44 at 4+6! And then 137 at 5+2! I would worry about which OB you prefer.

I am having an early scan tomorrow (7weeks+5) & I am 100% that it will be another missed miscarriage. I still have no symptoms & the only symptom that I had (sore nipples) has dissappeared. Im just not sure what I will do next. 1 M/C was bad enough. Not sure that I can face 2 in 3 months. I dont know that I can bring myself to do the LE diet again but then I will always be wondering what if.....
Oh KC, I'm sorry you're going through this.
Let us know what happens.
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

Why are you counting down to third trimester?? Do you usually feel sick through second tri too? I am definitely counting down the days until 2nd tri and hopefully feeling better. I just recently started having this almost gagging sensation. Like not nauseas but like something coming up in my throat (I don't think it's my acid reflux) it's just a weird sensation that happens like all of a sudden. Thankfully I'm not gagging but just curious if anyone else has experienced this.Quote:

If this isn't a girl, I'll be pretty annoyed as it is my worst pregnancy by a million miles. I wish I was on the girl diet now as so easy not to eat any healthy or nutritious foods! All I want is to sip lemonade, eat chewy sweets (haven't craved them for years), chips and the occasional rice and steamed green veg. The rest of the time I can't stomach anything. My husband is getting really fed up as he wants to eat things with tomato sauce or spicy or at least some meat! I didn't really have any cravings during my 3 boy pregnancies and nausea only lasted a couple of weeks. I hope the baby will be OK because I don't feel s/he's getting much in the way of nutrients...
XX, for ds3 my sonographer definitely could tell he was a boy at the 12 week scan (I think I was 11wks 4 days). I said I was hoping for a girl and she said 'well, we can't always get what we want'. I knew then it must be another boy!
I sleep on my tummy. I can't sleep any other way and have to teach myself during the later stages of pregnancy to sleep on my side due to large bump/tender boobs. I struggle. I can't wait each time, to not be pregnant, just so I can sleep on my tummy again! This is probably the reason why two out of my three boys had anterior placentas and were back to back. I really hope this isn't the same.
I am not bothering with scan until 12 weeks (3 weeks away), as if I have a dating scan too, I have to pay for the 12 week one (cheapskate)!!!
Good luck all, sending anti-nausea, girly vibes your way!
