Baby boy is still a bit big. Still don't have my blood sugar under control, so I think I'm headed for some medical help with that. But I actually feel great! Better than with either of my boys so far.

Another resurgence of GD this week. I'm excited to meet this little boy but not sure if it's feasible for us to try again for our girl.

Fox - sorry you are not able to keep your sugars under control. ((HUGS)) But glad you are feeling great! I can so relate to your GD feelings. I have been thinking "can we try for a girl one more time in a few years?"....not really likely, but I am still in that place. :(

I am having the hardest time getting started on a boy name. We never seem to have this much trouble. Not sure what the hold back is, but it is starting to get me concerned that we will not have a name by the time this little one joins us. :(

Hi there. I just noticed you said you possibly have Icp. I have had 3 Icp pregnancies. Its not fun at all. Pm me if you need to chat ��

Hi all...hope every one's doing well. Shannstaff....looking at your signature...did you have your baby's gender confirmed? I thought you were team green so did I miss something?

I did and I didn't. At my anatomy scan we turned away to stay team green, but I saw a pic on the screen when I got up off the table that was the gender pic and it was unmistakable boy.

Right, well congratulations either way on a healthy baby!! How are you doing otherwise? Our families are pretty similar in terms of the amount of children we have...how do you feel about labour and delivery of number 6? I'm feeling nervous about everything right now and I'm not sure why. Fortunately I've had straight forward labours and deliveries so far and I'm panicking this time around about whether the baby will be ok, whether I'll haemorrhage this time as apparently being the 6th I'm high risk....I know I need to be positive but just wondering whether any one else is in the same boat??

I am a little nervous about delivery, but that is because if I do indeed get diagnosed with ICP, I will most likely be induced early. That scares me a bit. But if not, I have fast labors and that is a bit scary as well. DH worries we will not make it to the hospital 20 mins away. And I REALLY am not looking forward to labor. But I am really looking forward to meeting this new little one.

Me too...not looking forward to labouring but definitely am excited to meet our new addition. Have you been told you could be more likely to haemorrhage with it being your 6th? I know you could be at risk regardless of how many babies you've had but it seems the likelihood is raised with us....

On my 6th they told me the same and as soon as i went into labour i had a canula fitted and when he was delivered they put something through it that contracted my uterus quicker than normal..i needed to stay lieing down for about half hour i think..there was much more blood than before but the injection worked and for the first time i didnt even have after pains which i usually suffer terrible with...theyr doing the same thing again this time but im also not allowed a water birth so they can measure the blood loss im gutted but rather be safe x

Ooooo and wanted to share with you my 4d scan today which confirmed definitely a girl so im now at peace..here she is 24 wks 2 days and the spit of my youngest boy but fuller lips...Attachment 37200

Hi Five boys I'm sure you feel like you've won the lotto having your own little girl! It must be an amazing feeling for your dream to have come true, enjoy every minute of it.
