Thank you xxforhubby..well i should have my bloods back at 11 weeks as its a 7 working day turn around...i think either way i just need to know now and my hubby is worse than me x

I've a scan next week xx and I will be between 13/14 weeks so perfect for nub guessing... scared to death tho, just the thoughts of probably having an idea of either sex makes me so nervous because it's so final!

So i'm thinking of having a few private scans since I'm not getting the NIPT after all. May schedule one for this weekend at which point I'd be about 13 weeks 3 days according to my last scan. I've honestly never had a sonographer that understands anything about the 'nub theory' so what stuff should I be telling them to hone in on in order for me to get a good pic ? I think I know what I should be looking for...bright white lines, angle of the lines etc but is there anything specific to mention to the sonographer such that I can get a decent pic if they haven't a clue what a 'nub' is?!

I love crisps/chips and could eat them all day. For the first few weeks I struggled to eat or drink anything.

Despite my lack of eating, the amount of carby stuff I am actually eating means I've put on quite a bit of weight. Is anybody else showing yet? I am 10 weeks and have an obvious tummy. Very annoying as I really wanted to hide it longer...but I guess it is my 4th pregnancy so probably a lot of that is my body remembering! I am also a very small person with a short torso so tend to have the hugest bumps that stick right out. With ds3 my neighbour guessed at 6 weeks!!!

CONGRATULATIONS XX!!!! I knew it was a girl - just everything sounded like a typical girl pregnancy. I know it isn't nice to think about but the two women I know who had twins early on and lost one, had girls. I think because girls are the 'stronger sex' so will hang on in there through tough times. You must be overjoyed. So happy for you and your hubby!

And Congratulations to anybody I missed - was it you Butterflies? I don't manage to get online much. So busy with the boys - getting pretty scared about adding another little one to the mix!

I'm 10w2d and I have a belly and this is my 3rd. Like you, I'm very short waisted and normally fairly thin. I've got a pretty constant icky/hungover feeling but I'm still able to eat most things. My diet hasn't changed much besides a few extra carbs at times just to settle my stomach and limiting the size of my meals to avoid feeling awful. I am so incredibly bloated! It's not horrible first thing in the morning but as soon as I eat I feel huge. This is definitely different from my previous pregnancies with the boys. Has anyone felt like this?
NIPT tomorrow and already nervous! It's going to be a long week!

Make sure the sonography captures an image with the baby laying on its back with legs down or away from their abdomen. Basically, a side profile of the baby.

Oh good luck tomorrow Roe, I feel like that also If I eat I feel better but if I eat too much I feel sick ... and then the sickness comes back and I've to eat again. My hair is all greasy and nails so brittle and I have white heads on my face (I know someone mentioned they had this also).

Maybe its because of such a long time on the LE diet but I am having a hard time thinking about eating or what type of food that I want & that is very unusual for me. I cant even blame it on morning sickness. I was so very sick with DS1 & a bit with DS2 but I only have the slightest nausea this time & no vomiting at all (thankgod!). Any ideas?

I still have a good aversion to fruit, except bananas. At best, they taste horribly unripe, and at the worst, they taste like cough medicine! I miss my fruit [emoji22]! I'm not much of a desserts kind of girl, but to satisfy my sweet tooth I've been having a couple pieces of chocolate. It's just not the same!

What do you have an aversion to?

Sweets aversion for me. Otherwise everything else is free game.

Couldnt even stomach a donut the other day. I actually started gagging when I was telling DH about the kind of donut I got for my daughter [emoji23]

I seem to have that hangover feeling as well. I already had a bump on front from my previous pregnancies, so I don't *think* I am showing. But clothing is getting a bit tighter. I have an aversion to all food right now. The only thing that sounds good and does not make me sick is candy. Ugh. Like jellybeans, or hard candies. I can eat those all day long. Seriously, this is not fun. I was sick last pregnancy, but not even this much and I was pregnant with triplets!
