I'm feeling some disappointment. We're finally telling extended family who immediately turn around and say "I hope it's a girl this time" before I can tell them that no, it's another little boy. I'm actually very excited to meet *this* little person, I'm just not sure I have another pregnancy in me and I'm sad about not having a girl. All my close friends have either just girls or a mix, and that's not helping either.

I hope your ankle gets better!!! I too have been very thirsty lately. I can't get enough ice water. I'll call DH on my way home and ask him to have glass waiting on me when I get homeQuote:

I'm sorry you are feeling a little down about boy #3 but I'm sure this baby was meant to be a part of your family. ((HUGE HUGS)). I really do think there is something special about 3 boys. If this one is boy #3 for me I'm getting a tshirt made that says "Boy Mom and proud of it" or something along those lines.Quote:

Fox- My heart goes out to you [emoji20]. Those comments are the hardest. It caused me to become overly protective of them. Even now when people say, "Oh you must have your hands full", I say, "No I don't actually. My boys are incredibly easy- we are fortunate". We are! They are! They are KIDS!! All kids/people have their moments but by and large my boys follow expectations, act well in public, and are protective of one another. Nothing riles me more than negative boy comments [emoji35]! I remember when a family member gave me condolences when I was pregnant with my DS3. I responded, "Since when did welcoming a brand new person into the world become such a disappointment?!?" Ugh! I'm sorry you have to go through this!
(((Hugs)))

Fox - I understand all too well how you are feeling. I know I don't have another pregnancy in me (I am 41) and we just really can't do another child. I am coming to terms with another boy. Most make those stupid comments. I really do hate them. I head off the "hoping for a girl this time" with "It is most likely a boy and we are happy with that". My Mom has been real supportive and actually said she could not see a girl fitting in with our rough and tumble boy patch and that she welcomes another little man! It helped. I just wish this pregnancy was not so different from my others. It got my hopes up.
I just found out my baby girl died 2 weeks ago in utero.
At 17 weeks

Oh no Robin. :( I am so so very sorry to hear about your loss. HUGE HUGS. Wish I could hug you in real life. Praying for you and your family.
I literally cannot deal right now. I don't even want to live to be honest. Like I cannot understand how I'll ever be happy again.

Oh Robin, I'm so very sorry. I wish there was something I could say to help ease the pain. Do you have a counselor available?
I lost my first baby, my only girl, at 18 weeks. I wouldn't wish that kind of experience on anyone.

Oh Robin - I so wish we were close and could just hug you and cry with you! Praying for you and I hope you have someone to help you talk this through.
:( Oh Robin, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know there is nothing I can say to bring you solace, but know that I'm here if you need me, we all are. Sending you lots of hugs. <3 <3 <3
Oh no, Robin!! This is so incredibly unfair! My heart breaks for you and your family [emoji22]! I agree with the other girls and wish I could be there with you.
(((Huge Hugs)))

Oh my gosh Robin, I am so horribly sorry, that is devastating, my heart is aching for you.
Please make sure you have support mama, the road of loss can be so hard and a million times harder when alone or feeling alone.
Huge huge hugs and all of my deepest sympathy. I'm so sorry.
Robin there are no words. I am so very, very sorry. Sending a huge big warm hug and hoping you have support with you.

Robin, I am so so sorry for this terrible loss. It must be absolutely devastating. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please tell us if there is anything we can do.
Dopes anyone have any ideas to help stay hydrated? With it being so hot out now, I am thirsty all the time and really need to drink more. But I just can't seem to do it. :(
I carry a 32oz water bottle with me wherever I go. I find this helps a lot. I also chop up fresh orange slices or lime slices to put in my water. This is what helps me!

Eating fruits such as water melon and apples can also help*
Ladies, I've started to feel pressure down below...I know this is normal in the late third trimester but can anyone else relate to feeling that pressure now? I'm 25 weeks.
I know in my last pregnancy I was def feeling pressure by 25 weeks. I am starting to get it a bit now at 21w if I do too much in a day.
Just because - here is my 20w pic of this crazy bump.

I drink something called Rehydrate which helps a ton!Quote:

I have found that when people are very thirsty, it is due to their water not containing enough minerals to actually hydrate. An easy way to add them is to get this: https://ca.iherb.com/pr/Ultima-Healt...oz-288-g/71017 . It's called ultima and its an electrolyte drink.
You can also add your own minerals, but you may run into taste issues :) I add magnesium, multi minerals and himalayan salt to my water.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.
We delivered our baby girl yesterday (June 29th). They suspect it had something to do with her umbilical cord as it was very small at the base of it. She prob wasn't getting enough nutrients.
It was the hardest thing we have ever had to do. I just want to wake up from this nightmare now.
We have decided to do ivf with gender selection when my cycles return. I cannot relive this whole experience again and yet all I want is to.. if that makes any sense.?
Good luck you guys with all your precious babies.
