oh wow i've never heard of that test!
they're like a prettied up version of sea bands - do the same job i assume though
has anyone got scans booked? appts coming up?
fingers crossed for pink 6bluewant1pink - i honestly am not sure how i will feel if i hear boy.
is anyone staying team green?
I had some pink cm yesterday. It was only slightly pink then went pale brown by the afternoon then no more today. Im trying not to freak out because I might not have even noticed if I wasn't wearing white undies, but its just so hard to freak out when you've had a loss before.
i had the same with my last pregnancy - my doc sent me to er just incase and they did a scan to make sure all was ok
are you working or doing a lot of physical work lately?
mine was due to my work - my job was quite physical with lots of heavy lifting, walking and on my feet the whole shift. i was put on early mat leave at 16 weeks and it stopped.
can you get a scan? even for some reassurance?
Im going to the Dr next Tues, my work isn't too strenuous. Mostly sitting on my bum haha. Been trying not to lift my 2yo too much. I feel much better now its back to normal, I had a scan a week ago and everything was perfect and Im feeling tired and a bit nauseous tonight. I think I'll just take it easy and try not to stress.
I think it is the Mat21... yes, I would know in a few weeks! I swayed girl, but I do still think it is a boy. I don't know why, I just do... :)
You put your feet up tonight, bythe******. I am sure everything is fine, but get some rest. Nausea is good! Means lots of hormones and a growing baby- right?
That's right Lizzie, I feel better when I feel worse if that makes sense.
I just had a complete meltdown because DH didn't order pineapple on the pizza. Oops, I blame it on being hungry and pregnant. I just really wanted pineapple on pizza :-\
Hello everyone I am new here. I have 4 kids already and had a tubal ligation done after the 4th one. Well come to find out a few weeks ago I am pregnant again!! I had a ultra sound done already to make sure it wasn't a tube pregnancy. Everything is where it should be, so I am now due Nov. 28th. If I have to be pregnant again I desperately want a girl. I currently have 1 girl and 3 boys... I have a nurse visit on the 22nd so looking forward to getting everything going.
So I have been reading and I saw a few people mention about what overy the baby came from. Does it make a difference? I know mine came from the left, was told at my US. Thanks
Welcome Zem7 wow that must have been a bit of a shock! Atomic has suggested that more girls come from the left ovary because that is the ovary you usually ovulate from if you are less fertile. Reduced fertility often = girl, hope this is the case for you.
I love the meltdown over pineapple! I feel like I snap all the time too... I secretly love it because I am definitely the laid-back one between my husband and me. I like the shift in power as he knows I am hormonal and backs down. haha
Hope you got your pineapple!!
My doctor laughed when I told her I hoped I ovulated from the left. (I wondered why left was better.) She couldn't tell which side. There was something on my left and right side so it was a toss-up.
Bythe******, you are so knowledgeable! Do you know why atomic says tall girls most often have boys? What do you think you are having, btw? Any guesses yet? I am almost 6 feet tall... another reason why I think despite my efforts are am destined for all boys.
Wow congrats zem7! how long ago did you get your tubes tied?
LOL well I am extremely fertile! If my DH gets near me I get pregnant! haha
Oh I got my tubal litation done dec. 2011. Right after I had my 4th baby. BTY I am only 5 foot 1 in. and have had 3 boys....lol wonder what I am doing wrong haha.
Yes got my pineapple :bigsmile: bought a tin to put some on the leftovers at lunch today.
I did a lot of reading when I was just starting to sway Lizzie. Not sure how much of it I believe now though. I think some people are definitely prone to more boys or girls but not sure if we can sway the odds much. And even if you have a big likelihood of a boy I think there is still a chance for a girl but It comes down to you get what God gives you and what's best for your family.
Not sure why tall girls have more boys, maybe the testosterone is higher? Its probably got to do with maternal dominance theory. Have you read much on that? That's where they say the more dominant or successful a woman is the more boys she will have because she is able to pass on more of her genetics that way, that's the gist I got from the theory anyway. Not sure if I believe it completely but it is proven that more driven women with high qualifications have more boys.
Arrghh, was sick for the first time this pregnancy tonight. But at least I feel better afterwards. Just had some vegemite on toast, the aussie girls would know there's nothing better for settling the stomach.
Interesting!! Thanks, bythe******. Wow. I do consider myself driven. Had no idea I had that going against me too. For sure I am having a boy. haha
I will have to read more. I agree with your thoughts too though. I think there was very little I could do to sway my results. I just felt like if I tried these things it was better than not trying. I will hear I am having a boy and know I was just made for boys!
If you don't want to answer and I am asking too personal of a question, please do not answer, but do you think you are having a boy or girl?
Well I don't know, my heart says its a girl because I prayed for a girl and I believe God will give me the desires of my heart. But in saying that maybe I only think I want a girl if you know what I mean and God knows a boy would be better for my family. In any case i am assuming this is a boy until I hear otherwise then I won't be disappointed. I will be happy with another boy just a bit more excited with a girl.
Just though of someone who is tall successful and driven and has girls, Michelle Obama.
Its so quiet in here...Next monday I have an apt with my nurse. I hope I will like my new Dr. It feels strange, all my other 4 kids were born in Iowa, We moved to Missouri a little over a year ago, and this baby will now be born here. Will be odd having one from another state. My last pregnancy was so scarry... I am sooo worried that this one will be the same, I am already high risk, even though I am still looking good at this point. Worried...:worry:
Aww Zem, big hugs. I hope you are feeling better. Hopefully this will be an easier pregnancy for you.
It is quiet in here. I guess after the swaying and being glued to this site for months trying to learn more for the best sway and making all the swaying plans, it seems kind of anti-climatic now to have that BFP and be done with the LE diet and out of the 2ww and all that good stuff.
I moved when I was still pregnant and had DS far from my hometown. It was rough, but DH and I made it through ok. Our marriage got stronger as a result though. Hopefully this pregnancy will be easier for you too. Good luck.
Hi everyone! So happy to still be pregnant! Hope everyone is doing well!
Thanks, I hope everything gets better. So what did you try and sway for? We are hopeing that this will be a girl, we have 3 boys and only one girl right now. Didn't do any swaying as I didn't think I would be getting pregnant ever again!lol
It is very quiet in here.... I havent been on i've been so sick and sore as i have an umbilical hernia but have been feeling a bit better yesterday and today.
When are ppl telling family and friends?
I'm trying to keep this preg a secret for as long as possible because i dont think i can take all the gender comments for the next 7 months! Im hope to be able to at least keep it a secret until 4 months...has anyone else been able to keep it a secret for that long?! Im thankful its coming into winter i'll use layers and baggy tops to try hide my bump!
We have 4 people that currently know we are expecting. My MIL, our 2 best friends, and my sister. We plan on telling my family all at once, as soon as we see them all next. Should be late next month. I could never keep it to myself for that long, I show early! I am almost 8 weeks, and already i can deffently see a bump. Can not have my pants on, will have to buy a band or something so I don't have to have yoga pants on all the time. Also would be hard here, its spring. Can't cover up like you! lol Good luck!
we have only told family and a few close friends
i wont announce over fb etc but the people who are important to us know and they are all that matter ;)
had my first booking appt today - i was measuring 14 weeks which worried the midwife enough to have a quick scan which put me ahead on my dates due nov 2nd now and one healthy babe there.
all scans booked and ms starting to settle thank goodness!!!
i found it a little strange though as we worked out i would be due nov 7th thanks to my dodgy up and down cycle but came out with bub still measuring bigger
that has never ever happened in any of my pregnancies - i have always measured smaller by ultrasound and they have put my dates back not forward.
zem7 -im so relieved to hear someone else say they are showing at 8 weeks :highfive: .... im nearly 8 wks and i swear im showing too :) my trusty jeans are uncomfortable as are all my other pants but bub is still way to low to be showing i thought? spring - ur so lucky!! we were hoping to wait till spring to ttc cause i think summer is so much nicer to be pregnant than winter.
mumof6 -glad to hear bub is healthy in there and how exciting to have your scans booked and even better than your ms is settling!! I'm hanging out for that day :)
That's exciting mumof6 glad you got to see bub, hopefully the difference in sizes to your others means its a girl. Or maybe its just a change of lifestyle.
Sorry you've been miserable dreaminginoz glad things are getting better.
Yah for sticky beans mommymachine!
We've started telling people, family and friends. People have actually been really good with gender comments, only I hope this is your girl or do you think its a girl. I always say well you can't order :-)
I think Im showing a bit too but it could be just bloating
I wonder how accurate the fundal measurement is this early mumof6?
i think it could have been a combo of full bladder and i've put on an embarassing amount of weight already :/ i could feel her pushing down on my bladder when she was measuring. anyone else with significant weight gain already? i'm feeling really sluggish and gross - too early to be showing but i look "fat" not pregnant
I don't know if it is too early to actually be showing. But I deffently have a 'pregnant' belly. I am a small person to begin with. I am 5 feet 1, and usually am only around 120. I have now lost 5 pounds because of the MS! With my 3 boys I put on weight fast, but with my first and only girl. I lost 15 pounds in the first tri. So I have my fingers crossed this is a girl, but it is still different from my other girl, I haven't actually gotten 'sick'. I just can't for the life of me eat anything. I try but after a few bites I just can't do it anymore. I can hardly even drink anything...err. Hope everyone is having a good week!
Can someone tell me how to put one of those pregnancy trackers on my posts?
Click on my tickers and it should take you to the site, make your own and then you have to copy the "code" underneath and paste it on your signature:)Quote:

I think its a combination of a complete slow down of digestion and lack of movement for me. I totally feel the same, sluggish and ickk. Im so embarrassed when i do the school run now cause im trying to wear looser tops but its never really been my style so ive seen a few of the mum look a few seconds longer than normal lol but none of them dare ask casue they cant be sure as i just look like i have a bit of a tummy....
anyone doing any exercise?? Im going to the swimming pool tonight to walk laps like the old ladys hahah
No energy to exercise, especially since I've had a nasty cold. Funny story the teacher asked my ds1 what mummy was good at doing, mothers day project I think, and he says sitting down doing nothing. Ahhh kids! Im usually a really busy active person but he only remembers the last few weeks. I think I've only put on a kilo though and that is probably just on my boobs :bigsmile:
I've already put on 7 pounds--probably because I could start eating normally again and get off that darn LE diet! I've had to do the rubber band around my pants for comfort. Last weekend I got all of my maternity clothes washed and organized because I think I'll need them earlier than I did with my previous pregnancies!
Is anyone else having a really hard time with morning sickness? I don't remember having it this bad with DS. I find that constant snacking is the only thing that really helps me now. I've definitely put on weight, although I haven't checked the scale. I don't want to take medication so I'm trying to eat "smarter" and have smaller snacks when I need them. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I am only about 7.5 weeks along. I hope this gets better soon.
Yeah my morning sickness comes and goes. All the mucous from my cold is making it worse. Last night I coughed so much I threw up in the bed. Luckily my husband hadn't come to bed yet and he avoided being hit then helped me clean up :sad:
Oh bythe******! What a time your having, sorry to hear that hun :) Kids are so funny arent they hahah im the same usually very active and busy but this bub has floored me and the boys dont know what to do with all this spare time they have while i literally 'lay around'!
Im the same as you Baby4me, my ds's were a breeze compared to this one, i have ms ALL day and night. the boys were just in the afternoons. Constant snacking to try keep the ms away and mostly fruit but sometimes (like yesterday) i had two danish pastries cause i really thought that'd make me feel better - it didnt!
Hopefully it'll pass for us all soon and we can get back to some normality :)
That is SO unfair, isn't it? I get this idea in my head that making something or eating sweets or a specific fruit will make me feel better, then I make it or eat it and it doesn't help much. I should be rewarded with feeling better for my efforts, lolQuote:
