You should try avoid sleeping on your back if you can. I bought a wedge which just helps tilt to the side if I am on my back. But if you are doing it while you are sleeping don't worry about it as there is nothing that you can do about it!

missxo - eeek! On the stomach bug, how horrid!! Yeah on seeing the babies! I wish I was a good guesser but I am not. I think Kitkat and Nahri's guesses are usually spot on. Bet one of the little pumpkins is a girl! Can't wait to know for sure!
I hope you are better quickly. Being in the hospital is nice that people do all the laundry and dishes, but stinks being away from home and your other babies. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Business, I was worried about back sleeping too since I am such a back sleeper. My midwife said not to worry until the 3rd trimester. I still get a little uneasy on my back so I tend to flip back and forth a lot. These nights are getting longer as my sleep time seems to get shorter, but I had better get used to it!
Angel-pink - its so hard to wait especially when you know the gender is obvious...hope time flies by for you!
I am hoping for at least one girl. The tech was the head tech for the ER but its still early and idk how knowledgeable she is with gender determination.Quote:

So sorry you're sick! I agree I think I see boy girl twins!! Good luck!
Anyone feel movement yet? I'll
Be 17 weeks on Tuesday and no real movement yet. I might have felt a couple flutters but I'm not sure...

I colored in your nubs for you missxo on your separate ultrasound post so you can see why you are getting so many B/G. I can tell the "boy" was definitely a mover so "his" nub could be way off and not at all how it seems.
On a side note literally... I have always been a side-ish sleeper. More on my stomach sort of than anything. But with DS It was putting too much pressure on my stomach so I wound up back sleeping. You only have to "worry" about it when you start running out of room in there during the third trimester because the weight of the baby pushes on your spine, intestines, and major arteries which supposedly cuts off supply to the baby. A lot of medical professionals have said its all rubbish but Im on the rather safe than sorry team. I got a curved maternity pillow and O M G best nights sleep I had in EVER. It supports all the important joints and your tummy. If I wasnt sleeping with it I would have to pry it out from underneath DH because even he said he slept better with it LOL. So look for something curvy like one of these it will help keep you on your side which is also best for you nauseated heartburn people and you will be so comfy you wont know how you did without!

Yeah if they are kicking the placenta or you have a little extra "padding" as compared to your earlier pregnancies you may feel it less or not at all until later. I felt DS about 16 weeks this one I THOUGHT at about 18 and then definitely at 19.
I had an anterior placenta with DS and felt movement late. But this time I have posterior and should feel it soon!

Im 18 weeks and I think I felt movement
Still not sure about it !
Hi everyone - just catching up with everyone's news, Christi- sorry you didn't hear girl at your scan - you will feel different when he is here, i was totally disappointed wen I saw 'boy' on my 3rd+ 4th scans - (especially as number 4 we 'swayed' for) it's normal :-) but they are both the best boys I could wish for.
Congrats to all who have got their dg so far- there seems to be lots of you.
My 13 week put me forward a week so I changed my gender scan to this thurs (5th) I'm a bag of nerves, I do desperately want to hear girl! Trying to keep myself busy till then! I will of course update on thurs after my scan.x
Good luck!

Good luck pinkprincess!
Ughhh well the stupid snow is coming down a lot!! My sons school closed again, I tried calling my OBs office since my NT scan was for 9:30am they still had their automated voicemail on so I went on their website anf they wont open til 11am. Idk what that means for my appt. I am going to still get ready and hope that they will still have me come in today since its a very inportant scan.
Hope you got to your scan missxo!?
I'm trying to understand the nub theory a bit more...now I understand the angle part for a boy and a girl (both my boys looking back have typical boy nubs) but I thought that if it's a long flattish line then it's usually girl? But I've seen guesses on here from other peoples scan saying boy because of some stacking? Can anyone explain the stacking to me? :)
We have a ton of snow here today too and my work had to close today. I'm ok with it though because we won the super bowl last night!! (I'm from Massachusetts and a big patriots fan!)
Missxo I hope they squeeze you in!
Ugee if the nub is flat and parallel to the spine and has a fork or just a flat line... That's girly. If it's angled up or even flat but the fork is leaning up or flat but there is a smaller dot on top of the flat line at end of nub, that is boyish

Here are confirmed boys all showing the fork. First thing to check is the angle. Depending on gestation is when you will see the rise. Now on the first one colored in blue you will notice the boy nub has a bit more of a curve like () as opposed to a girl who is going to look more V or ||. Quality of the machinery can make it more evident or more hard to guess so the angle is the biggest key. Further along you will see what is referred to as stacking. On the second picture the pinky lines would be your standard girl fork but that little bobbly bit stacked on top and the fact that the lines are uneven. Notice one is longer than the other (not always a dead give away could be crappy machine) and that little stump has "stacked" on top of the lines giving you a stacked boy nub. Sometimes depending on quality you will see a long line on the bottom and a detached line on top like -_ which would also be boy. Hopefully some of that made sense LOL

Very useful Nahri!
Thanks Nahri! That's very helpful! Think I will get you to guess if I get a good nub shot when I have my scan. :)
I go tomorrow morning for my NT scan and will ask for abetter picture, I am also going to bug her if she knows what gender they are lol. The tech in the ER did a potty shot for both babies a couple times and said both girls but it was still early for 100% I think. I am hoping since ill be 13weeks 4 days she may have a good idea :)
I hope all goes well with your scan miss :D How are you feeling?
My area would shut down with snow like that lolQuote:

Now you're making me nervous! This better not turn into a boy! This was 15w1d

I'm no good with these but, that does look girly :D
A sign maybe? A blue baby book, not written in. I found while going through my paperwork. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...7c67003209.jpg
Miss, how did you go?
No worries linz thats a girl you can even see the leftover fork from the original nub in the middle :D This is a 3 line boy. See how much farther it sticks out? But had the tech imaged a degree off on the angle it wouldnt appear to protrude as much and look like a swollen girl. When they are flat against the body and you can see the original nub recessed you are golden.

Thank you Nahri, I am still going to ask to see just fot curiosity more or less and to drive my self nuts lol!
Boysway just a few mpre hours and ill see the babies yay!!
Appointment is at 10:15am US eastern time, DH isnt able to make the appointment because he had to take 5 days off last week due to that damn stomach bug. I am going to try and get a video but idk how well I can with it being only me and the tech
Missxo I have my nt scan today too! I'm 11w5d though, so I doubt I'll be able to see anything:(
Good luck missxo! Thinking of you and hope you enjoy watching those little pumpkins wiggle around!
Belliboi...post some pictures to see if we can find any clues! Good luck!
Good luck Mids and belleboi ❤❤
Stalking untill I see ur U/S
Hey ladies my brother had his 2nd girl yesterday I did write a post but was that tired from the days events I forgot to send it belliboi and missxo good luck with your scans I went baby shopping only got sheets and nappies and an out fit for the new arrival I'm slightly jealous buying pink for others
Oh girls... This sickness is really getting me down. I'm fed up of not being able to function. It does cheer me up to hear scan updates though. I did so much research while TV I can't be bothered to look into nub theory etc so I'm gonna take photos and leave it to the "experts". ; ) haven't got my scan til the 11th... It feels like I've waited ages!! How is everyone else coping? Has your sickness gone yet?
Belleboi hope your scan went great today!
Thank you Ladies scan went great babies were flipping all over and I felt it kinda scared me at first haha! My tech said babies look great and no signs of DS. She also told me what she thinks they are but said dont go shopping yet. I added my new pictures to my thread, not sure how to update the subject of the thread.
Hope everyone else has a great day!
