Due in March/April/May 2013 Roll call!

Hi Ladies....just checking in to say Happy Thanksgiving! I can't believe my ultrasound is a week from today. I keep thinking...a week from right now I'll know. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...it's driving me nuts! I keep dreaming crazy dreams and I always wake up trying to think of another girl name, so even though I can't always remember the dreams I know I am dreaming that I found out it was another girl. Oh, this waiting seems longer the closer the date gets....which makes no sense. On another note, I have had three reminders in the past week to be thankful for this baby boy or girl. A family right down the road from us had their baby die of SIDS at 6 weeks old. Another distant family member went into premature labor at 23 weeks, was put in the hospital to try to keep her from having baby, but baby died. Then another girl I know went into labor the other day and ended up having her baby at 24 weeks (I haven't heard yet if the baby is still even alive....baby was so tiny). I just can't imagine the heartache of these families and it makes me so thankful that my pregnancy has gone well. I am still worrying like crazy though bc I still have not felt definite movements....although I know that's okay at this point. Well, hope you ladies all have a great evening!

Oh I hate not having proper Internet! They still haven't fixed our connection.

You said your hcg was lower right? I think that would mean boy.... Higher hcg means girl. I think thats the way I understood it. I wish I knew my numbers :(

That's the way I understood it, too. Hcg over 1 MoM was more likely found in girls. Under 1 was more likely with boys.

3girls~ Liking your post because we have the same scan date. I'm so sorry for those poor families, losing a child is beyond painful. I hope the 24 weeker will be okay. Good luck during your scan next week!

Happy Thanksgiving to the US moms!!!

Hope all of you ladies are doing well..

It's free hcg? And at what point in the pregnancy? I'm still confused lol

It's what they draw when they do your nt scan. From what I understand, the MoM is where you are in reference to the average for the day (so, like, 12+1 has an expected level of free beta hcg, nuchal translucency, etc). There are actually four measurements as part of the test, but my doc only gave me two. They will run my bloodwork again at 16 weeks I think as the second part of the test.

Around here, they usually don't give you your results. I had to call and bug the nurse just to get those.

Just wanted to let you know that I am also expecting a little boy (again), which would make this nr 3 for us. Have to admit, I am really down about it right now, even tough I know we will love him just the same. I keep hoping they made a mistake (I know they didnt), even if it just helps me to get through this until I eventually can accept the fact. I don't even want to tell anybody that we know the gender now... Don't want any comments, or even talk about the pregnancy... how sad is that? And then I feel quilty for feeling that way. Anyhows, I found that I've been checking on here more since I found out that this is a boy again, but I know it's not good for me (and therefor everyone around me...), so I might "disappear" again!

Good luck to everyone, hope all of you oppsites can enjoy your pregnancies!

By the way, my due date moved to april 9th.
