It sounds like my pregnancy with Sofia, where I would rather eat cold ( now, it’s the opposite and feel’like spices, warmth, comfort lol) ... I know it’s hard not to read into things though eh?!

The onesie is with May Gibbs print (she was (last century) an Australian kids author/illustrator and is famous for her Gumnut babies) :) I want a native/nature Australian theme for this baby so works well and hopefully this will be their first outfit :)

@LMSM oh my goodness that outfit is adorable! I always loved baby clothes in light green or yellow.

Great to read you brestfed while pregnant. Most people I know already told me it would make it harder to get pregnant (which it didn't lol) it would increase the risk of miscarriage and I bet they will tell me that the baby won't get enough nutrients.
But I already know some will say stupid things and I have to just stop listening.
I’m also still breastfeeding. I was told it is fine though I am hoping to wean soon. My 21 month old DS is holding on though so we’ll see! I am hungry all the time which is quite different from my first pregnancy but I figure it’s what my body needs right now! As soon as I got the positive test result I started taking prenatals (not just the iodine/folic acid) and upped my calories and nutrients.

Im abit more tired than normal but last night i started to feel very sick so took my first unisom dose, i was 4+1 and normally the sickness doesnt set in for me till the end of the 5th week, im glad i had the tablets here and im hoping ive got ontop of it before it has a chance to really set in!! Going by my others im assuming i'll need to medicate for sickness till around 24 weeks.Quote:

Love the green onesie :heart: I love white, yellow, green and grey newborn stuff. I think they look so sweet in neutral colours and there is plenty of time for blue/pink later on :)
LMSM - I love the onesie you found! I love that company Cotton On! They always have the cutest things. Also the kind of stuff you’re craving I craved with all my boys.
Lailanela - As long as you’re enjoying breastfeeding your baby what everyone else says shouldn’t matter. People are so annoying with all their horrible advice.
I’ll definitely be getting the NIPT! We did team green once, and honestly for me it wasn’t amazing enough to want to do it again. We were just as excited to find out at the ultrasounds with our other two. I’m an L&D nurse and also see some women have really negative reactions if it’s not the gender they wanted. Waiting until birth seems to just give some women extra time to convince themselves they’re having what they want :)
Anyways, how is everyone feeling? I’m only 4+5 and still feeling okay. Just really bloated. I tend to get morning sickness around week 6 so I’ll enjoy this while it lasts. My husband has no chill and told his family already, I’m telling mine next week!
Greydore - I’ve heard of people who end up not being surprised at the birth, but upset. I think it would be harder to deal with the emotions of it all after the birth. I’d like to be prepared so I’d rather know sooner.
I’m 6 weeks exactly today. I don’t have an appetite. If I do have an appetite it’s in the middle of the night. I do feel nauseous if I don’t eat by the end of the day. I finally found an OBGYN and I have my first appointment on August 5th :) We decided to not tell anyone at this point about the new baby. I think we will figure out a special way to tell them with one of the upcoming holidays.
@Greydore Hey, we have the same due date. 😊
I'm quite nauseous, it even started earlier than with the other three. But it's not yet as bad as it was with them. I'm afraid it still will get worse.
I called the doctor and have an appointment on next Tuesday. I'm excited, although I know it's so early. But still.
We will be finding out by ultrasound. Eight weeks now and mostly very tired. Having an extra ultrasound next week to see if everything is OK. The due date was 2 days off and heart rate a bit slow, although I wonder how well you can measure that in a 1cm 7wk baby. We told some people, but already hating all the boy/girl remarks.
Nice sharing all the experiences with all you like minded ladies!

Yay! That’s so exciting, it will be interesting to see when we end up delivering. I’m sorry you’re nauseous- it’s the worst. So far I’m only nauseous if I wait too long to eat. Good luck with your appointment!
6 weeks today here too now (it’s Tuesday here hehe)...
Counting down to Friday as have a viability scan...can’t wait! Then I will see my GP that same day and book in at the hospital and will cross fingers I can get a spot in the midwifery group practice (you deliver at hospital but have a named midwife that will see you beforehand, during birth if she is on shift and visit you at home after too (all being well you go home within 4-6h after birth - that’s what I did last time).
Mostly hungry, not too nauseous (touch wood) - but bloooooated it’s crazy lol
Though, I gagged so bad prepping dinner last night, raw meat is not my friend :P
Reading your experience Greydore, am questioning myself about team green ....
This is my absolute last baby, and want to enjoy the pregnancy but worry that I might indeed build up too much hope, convince myself even,that I am carrying the boy I have wanted so long...
Ahhhh decisions decisions !
4b2p - so glad you have the Unisom to keep nausea at bay, did you find it’s working as well as last time time?
Nacire - glad you have your care/appointments sorted :) does it all still feel surreal? I am struggling somehow ..hopefully the scan will help but still so weird!
Good luck for all the upcoming appointments:)
It works 100% i dont feel sick at all as long as im taking it :) i dont know how i survived 8 pregnancies without it!!Quote:

2 more days until my Nuchal!!! I’m so excited to see baby again.
The tiredness is out of control. I struggle to get through the day, every day. Hopefully once I’m out of the first trimester it will get better!! Hard to believe I only have 16 days left in the first tri!!!

I do think I’d regret not trying team green , but not sure of my reasons iykwim?
Is it because I truly just want to enjoy the pregnancy or will I torture myself with hope or despair anyways? Will I regret it because I feel it’s something I really want or because I feel like I have to Be “strong “ enough to do it? (Like it’s the “right” thing to do to “not care” about gender).
Sigh, so conflicted :( I wish I had my answer but DH doesn’t care so he is no help lol
I hope so too!Quote:

You were so unhappy when you found out with S but it all seemed to improve a lot for you after her birth, maybe you are the type of person who deals with the reality much better once baby is here? (the idea of DD3 was worse than the reality?) If it is DD4 but shes in your arms when you find out, would that be better for you?
on the flip side if its DS obviously you will be elated but would you feel robbbed of the chance to prepair for him during pregnancy and be able to have a confirmed boy pregnancy?
I do it because it takes gender out of the pregnancy for me and ive had too many destroyed by gd, Hearing its a boy on scan gives me no motivation or excitement at all and i find it so hard to care, i dont want to even think about it any more.
If its a boy and he's physically here im much better with it, plus i have a boy name ready to go that i love and im excited to use and that really helped me when i had W :) If its a girl the girl surprise is the only thing ive never had (ive had boy and girl on scan and boy at birth) so i'll get the surprise ive never had and not being able to prepair for her wont bother me, im not a pink person so she would be dressed neutral anyway!
Only you know what will work best for you :) whatever you do do it for you :heart:
Had my scan today! Had a bit of trouble getting baby in https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cf68b0c1fb.jpg
the right position, but it turned out ok.

Don’t have the pics yet, but all looking good, no subchorionic hematoma this time so yay! (Had one the last two pregnancies)
Awesome news!! I'm so happy you got to see the baby today! How have you been feeling so far?Quote:

Thanks ladies!
Nacire, I’m not bad so far - certainly less sick than with the girls but maybe because I know eating helps :P just bone tired but can’t complain overall for now?
What about you?
LMSM great news!! So glad everything looks well.
I’m soooo tired. I just want to sleep uninterrupted for 3 days. This first trimester fatigue is no joke.
I'm just pretty exhausted which I don't remember feeling in any of my other pregnancies. Like I can't keep my eyes open most of the time. Other than that I'm doing well for the most part.Quote:

I'm still nauseous. But didn't have to throw up yet(sorry tmi). Wonder a bit if that's a bad sign.
How are you ladies all feeling?
I had my first scan yesterday baby measured 12+4 & is due 28th Jan [emoji4]
Do you think this is a clear enough nub?
I’m hoping for a girl after three boys & had all girl guesses so far but feel like I just can’t believe it [emoji23] Tia xx

Lailanela I think having just nausea is perfectly normal! Glad you got to see your baby.
Has anyone here done the NIPT? We are going to for the genetic risk information. I’m 32 so not AMA but I still worry. Of course finding out the gender early is nice too.
LAilanela, that is perfectly normal.enjoy!
How far along are you?
Fourthbaby, that does look girly for sure :D
Greydore, I did the Nipt last time and will do it again this time (am 35). Will be 10 weeks in 3 weeks so not long to wait ( sooooo anxious !)
My hubby wants to know gender so I guess we’ll be finding out!
I'm exactly 6 weeks today. So maybe I'll get more sick. Or maybe this pregnancy is just a bit different. I try to think positive. 😊
I never did NIPT. DH is against it. But I always thought it's great to know gender this early for sure. Well, I'll have to wait for ultrasound.
Wishing you ladies a great day. 😊
Thanks I really hope so [emoji1695][emoji1348][emoji178]Quote:

LMSM you decided to find out then! How exciting!
I won’t be 11 weeks until the end of August, so I still have over a month to find out what I’m having. I know symptoms don’t mean anything, and it’s interesting I’m having a mix of symptoms I had with all of my others. I do feel much more tired this time around- I don’t know if it’s because I’m in my 30s now or what, but I seriously can’t sleep enough!
14 weeks today and officially in the 2nd trimester!!! Hope everyone is doing well.

DS1 was at hospital for a couple of days (he is fine now) but I was so insanely worried and of course now I'm scared that was just too much stress.
Hope you other ladies feel fine.
YEs! Figured since DH wanted to, was easier to go with it ;)Quote:
