I can't believe I'm 17 weeks today! Time feels like it is flying by and some days I feel like it's going to be ages until I meet our last baby! Well it's official now- MS has left but has left sour stomach in its place. I have to take a Zantac once a day now in the late afternoon. I think it's because she is higher up and my stomach is squished. Normally this happens to me later on like in at the start of the third trimester. I'm still super emotional! There was a complete marathon today where we live (a full, half, and 10k like in Boston). It runs throughout our town. Well the first runners came through, and I got touched up! It was 2 gentlemen from Uganda that are using this as one of their qualifying races. It was so amazing seeing them! They looked like graceful gazelles! Can you imagine the athleticism to be able to run a full marathon at a 2min-3min/mile pace?! Sorry for rambling!
I hope everyone is doing well!

I totally understand! I am convinced this will be DS#3 & I have even picked out a name. In a way I think this will help soften the disappointment. I cant even bring myself to look at any girl things now :sad: This pregnancy is so very different but those that do know I am pregnant are all convinced that it is a girl & that just makes the GD worse. I am having my bloods on monday but wont have the results for 2 weeks as they have to be posted to america. Ridiculous! The pamphlet even said it was done in australia but the lab confirmed that they only take the bloods on mondays as they post to america on wednesdays. Crazy that in 2017 we are still sending things overseas. FX for you both ladies.Quote:

I know a few of you are coming up to finding out gender or just have. I think acknowledging that it could be girl or boy and embracing options for both whether it be name or some gender neutral colour clothes. Maybe you want to do the nursery or something. I think this helps to prepare rather than thinking hearing boy or girl is the worst outcome. It will still be your beautiful baby in the end.
I remember clearly the anxiety and stress leading up to finding out. I wish I had someone to tell me to stop, embrace the baby what will be will be. And enjoy. Particularly if this is your last pregnancy.
I also know how hard it is to do that. I remember often the overwhelming heaviness in my chest until i found out, to the point it felt like it was all i could think about or i would stress eat. But i still carry that heaviness now as i still haven't got my dd.
I wish i focused more on the pregnancy and baby rather than work myself up over the gender. Yet i know that is ultimately why we are here for and i understand its in the forefront of our thoughts always.
Once again i know how hard that is to do. I wish we could all get our desired genders and end some of the feelings of longing or guilt that we carry.
I send luck and wishes to you all.

Hi wantanother well I am 16 weeks this Wednesday so I could find out through a gender scan which is only 80 euro but a part of me likes the idea of not knowing and thinking for another little while longer that It might be a girl .. basically I don't want to face reality and the realisation it's another boy which I'm fairly certain it is! So I'm in no rush to find out and a little scared to be honest so going to put it off... until im ready whenever that may be! Otherwise this may be a looooong pregnancyQuote:

Netti thanks for your lovely kind words and great advice ... I definitely need to start taking it on aboard and try and start enjoying this pregnancy because it is my last and I am growing a special little soul inside of me and I need to not loose sight of that ... another little human that needs their mummy and I don't want to pass on negative thoughts or feelings to the baby... think you xxx

Unfortunately I am not enjoying this pregnancy at all - not because of GD but because I am just so afraid of losing this baby too. This baby is very much wanted regardless of gender. I would love a DD but ultimately all I would love is a baby without autism. Selfish? Probably. Autism sucks & already rules my life with DS1. We applied to do IVF with PGS & were refused as Australias laws suck big time. All I want to do is enjoy this pregnancy like I enjoyed my boys but the anxiety about another child with autism & the possibility of losing this baby too overrides any GD.Quote:
