XX im convinced my placenta is anterior this time, ive had both with my previous babies and the anterior ones definitely do absorb a lot of the movements and they never feel as strong as they do when placenta is on the back out the way, this baby is active but the movements feel muffled somehow and even at 25 weeks you cant really see any movements on the outside so im betting on it being at the front.
Hello everyone.
Lolla - Such a cutie. Congratulations once again on your precious baby girl. ❤️❤️
Ash - So glad you are feeling better. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you. Take it easy for a few days because throwing up makes you feel so weak. Did you have a c-section with any of your boys? Why are u going to have a c-section this time? Sorry I may have missed that part before.
LMSM - I have faith that you will get your little boy soon. He is just taking sometime to join your family. ❤️❤️[emoji847][emoji847] So excited for your scan.
Pbn - How are you? Are U at your mom's? Hope the drive was not too tiring.
Kat - Scan on Monday. Yay. I love this week. Can't wait.
Bluebooties- I too hope that you get your induction when u are hoping for. Good luck for the appointment. It's on 21st right? My memory has been so foggy lately. I missed an appointment the other day and am still beating myself for it ever since. Ughhh the controlling personality. Can't wait for your appointment though ❤️❤️
Xxforhubby- I am so badly waiting to hear your Birth announcement and see your little girl. I bet she will make all our hearts melt. Thinking about you and praying for an easy delivery. ❤️❤️❤️❤️[emoji847][emoji847][emoji847][emoji847][emoji847][emoji847]
4b2p - Wow. I had no idea that the sways have a phase. But reading so much here about boy sways, I thought blue sways are easier than pink which isn't the case though. How are you doing? When is your next scan?
Max - How are you feeling dear? Can't wait for the Nipt results.
Bluedreaming- How are you my friend? Thinking about you. Hugs.
Sumbal - Hope u r doing ok? Would love to hear from you. It's been so long.
Afm, I went to my OB appointment yesterday and she asked about flu shot so I got one. Have you all taken it too? I took it with my dd too.
They were not able to take all the pictures on my anatomy scan so we are going again in 3 weeks but the good thing is that I got the appointment on the day when dd has a holiday and she gets to go see the baby too. ❤️❤️ She has never seen the baby on screen yet. Just the pictures. [emoji4] So I am excited for her.
I just wanted to share this U/s picture which I found really cute.

Sky that ultrasound pic is gorgeous :heart: so cute!! it is funny how the sway successes seem to go in cycles but i guess its normal for their to be times where blue will do well and then times where it goes down a bit and the same for pink.. i bet your DD will love watching the scan :)
yes i thought blue sways would be easier than pink but then when i read about the HE diet and the types of foods and all the supplements and the strict bd schedule i soon realised that i would really really struggle with it!! so i take my hat off to all the blue swayers and i really do hope the results pick up for blue soon :)
Sky- Awe, thank you! Each passing moment, I just want to meet her, to see what she looks like, to care for her and get to know her more! I get extremely excited when I get contractions wondering if that will be her birthday!
I love your scan pic of your baby's hand! Super cute!

4b2p - That's so true. When I read about the supplements for blue sway, I was lost. I knew I couldn't do that no matter what. I just took my prenatal, folic acid and fish oil since that came with prenatals. And took Mucinex tablets around O time. And I was so tired of all of it in 3 cycles. But honestly that helped me get pregnant faster. With my first, we tried for 7-8 cycles and this time I got bfp in 3rd cycle. I m sure I was more fertile because of being on blue diet. But the success rate is a different story all together.

Sky thanks no I've not had a c-section before and I sure hope I don't have to this time [emoji4]. Awww love the hand!

I had no problem doing the supplements, it was more the meat intake. I eat a lot of chicken and fish, but I tried to eat more red meat and a lot more eggs and nuts. I got pregnant quickly too, and I felt really healthy leading up to the bfp, so I felt good about improving my fertility (and drastically increasing our BD attempts!)

I'm currently doing my diabetes test. Barely kept that drink down! I almost always fail this one-hour test and have to do the three-hour one, but I've always passed that one!

Good luck srg. Hope u pass the test with flying colors. I know that drink is the worse.

Hi ladies! Just a super quick update! Sky yes I'm at mums safe and sound thank you xxoo
Gorgeous babies Lola and Sky! Srg good luck with the test. Ash glad you're feeling better! Hi to everyone else!! Gotta run [emoji173]

Hi ladies, thought I'd check in and see how everyone is.
I just spent a week in hospital with bronchitis and influenza B. Absolutely knocked me for six! Bub is fine but I wasn't well at all unfortunately. Slowly recovering.
How is everybody else travelling? Who is next to find out gender?
Dancing glad to hear ur doing better. Yeah the flu season has started. We r starting to see a lot of hospital admits with it already. I caught it last season and boy it was nasty !!
Hope u feel better soon. And glad to hear baby is doing ok.
I am not sure but i think i "might" be next at finding gender. I say "might" bcoz i still am not sure if i will have the will power to read the envelope

Dancingdiva-great to hear from you, but gosh sounds like you've had a week!!! Hope you are back to 100% soon! My OB just mentioned the flu shot this past visit. I will certainly get one once they are available!
Bluebooties-the week we've all been waiting for is almost here!! Woohoo!!
Sky-your hand U/S...oh my...so cute!!! Looks like baby is waving!!!
Srg-hope you pass the glucose test! Keep us posted! I failed the 1 hr test with DS1, but passed the 3 hr one. I was determined to pass the first time around with DS2 & fasted before the test & passed. We'll see this time around...
OMG yes just 3 more days !

Morning lovelies,
Bluedreaming – special thoughts for you today – hope all goes as well as it possibly can hon :hugs:
Dancing – oh no, that sucks – glad you are ok now and that and baby wasn’t affected – there seems to be sick people all over – am surrounded at work, it’s a wonder I don’t have the flu!!
You would think that with winter supposedly over, flu season would be too – seems it’s worse now than in June-August!
Bluebooties – one step at the time – first see baby, fall in love – and then decide what you want to do with finding out or not ;)
I know it’s still night for you guys but in advance – have a good scan Kat, looking forward to your update with pics of your latest gorgeous creation ;)
Sky – you know I actually dreamt last night that you had asked hubby to tell you gender because we were too impatient – and it was a boy – so please indulge us :rofl:
Love that cute little hand waving hello! Your DD will adore seeing her sibling wriggling on the screen :awe:
Srg – how did the glucose test end? Were you ok?
PBN – were you just going back and forth for the day at your mum’s or are you staying longer since it’s school holidays? (sorry, you probably mentioned but my brain is a sieve!)
Also, anyone have the issue of MS getting worse at a time where it is supposed to actually be easing?
I’m almost 13 weeks – had what seemed like a betterment around 11 weeks and the last 1.5 weeks it’s been getting worse again – I dry reached this am brushing my teeth :(
I am seeing my midwife on Friday so will raise it with her but if any of you have natural remedies to advise, am all ears!!!
We also told the girls the gender of baby, as DD1 decided she wanted to know – and she was stunned and excited all at once : she comes in every morning and says “morning mummy - can I say hi to the baby?” so I have to lift my t-shirt for her to pat the belly :awe: love that girl to bits ^^ DD2 is starting to integrate that I am pregnant, as at times I can’t carry her etc and she looks up saying “ because mummy baby in the tummy” - can’t believe my baby will turn 2 soon – and soon won’t be the littlest anymore!!
Thanks LMSM ! Yes one step at a time
U know sky last time i was same as u. Hubby new gender but i didn't read the envelope till a while after. Men r good at hiding emotions.

I won't know my glucose results until my next appointment next Monday. The lab doesn't give results, but if I failed, my doc may call to tell me to go ahead and get in for the three-hour test. Otherwise, I'll know next Monday.

Srg – FX it’s ok and you don’t have to do the 3-h test!!!
I’ve only ever done the 3-hour ones, but hope I can push to get just the 1-h one this time as I pass out when I do them :rofl:
Lola – did I miss a post about your scan or didn’t you come back to update? Or I may just have forgotten, I am soooo forgetful it’s scary :P
I need to vent for just a second. I just got home from my family reunion and it doubled as a quick baby shower for my male cousin and his second wife who are in their forties and having their first baby. They're having a boy and naming him the name we used for my angel DS. Listen, I don't really care that they're using the same name because I've literally only met the wife twice, and I only see them at these extended family reunions. BUT seeing all the blue and the boy clothes... *sigh. It was tough.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Oh Srg, so sorry that you had to go through that – with them naming him the same as your angel, it’s bound to have affected you even more – it’s tough and you are totally allowed to vent. I am sure no one meant any harm, but it doesn’t make it any less hard to deal with big :hugs:
Srg- I'm so sorry! That would be very hard.
We were with a lot of family today and they all want this baby to be a boy. It just cracks me up, as if I get to choose. And one reason they say is bc boys just love their Mommas, which I don't get at all. My girls tell me all the time how much they love me and tell me how pretty I am, etc. It just makes no sense to me. I'm glad we are announcing tomorrow night bc I'm tired of hearing it.

O srg hugs dear ! I know how to feel. Its heart piercing at times, my male coworkers who's wife is 2 weeks ahead of just announced last week that they r having a boy and they seemed so proud of it as if we all that have girls have somehow failed at this !

Srg thats gotta be tough [emoji853] big hugs, it would have been very hard xxoo
Kat I agree with you! I love my mum like crazy even as an adult [emoji23]
Bluebooties I cannot wait for you to find out! Whenever you're ready that is [emoji170]
Dancing great to hear from you and sorry you've been so unwell [emoji853]
LMSM sorry to hear MS has reared its unwelcome head again [emoji853]
I'm at my mums for the week and keeping super busy doing things with the boys which is fun but very tiring! I'll be quite slack posting this week but thinking of you all as always and will do a nightly catch up even if I don't post much xxoo

LMSM my sickness is a bit better but I still throw up 5 out of 7 days in the morning [emoji53]
Srg that's hard he should at least remember because your son was here on this earth alive ? Right? Pretty rude if you ask me [emoji8] so sorry

LMSM-I did update about a page or so back & it's still a girl!!! Phew!!! I'm starting to believe it now. She is measuring right on track.
Pbn-sounds like you're having a great time. Mom's are awesome!
Kat-looking forward to your appt update tomorrow!! Let us know how the gender reveal goes too!!
Ohh srg-sorry that would be tough for sure! Hugs! [emoji173]Glad you don't see them often...
Loal, I do remember now – duh, sorry, I knew you would have – and I think I even commented on her cute profile lol no wonder hubby is frustrated with my forgetfulness!
Thank You LMSMQuote:

Thank You. I have gone numb and am just trying to deal with the physical pain and when they call later this week to tell us what the gender was that's when I will break

I cried so so much yesterday
Bluedreaming, I'm so sorry to hear that! Big hugs!! [emoji175]
Ash, hope you're feeling better. Sounds so rough!!
Kat, I know what you mean. My girls (although totally crazy) are also so sweet and love both me and my husband endlessly. The comments people make are so strange. The handful of friends that we've told also say the same thing - I really hope that it's a boy this time.
I honestly still cannot get over them saying boy to me in my ultrasound. I honestly have been waking up in the middle of the night thinking about it. I know I would love a boy, but I just want this to be a girl so, so badly. I googled like crazy this weekend and it turns out a lot of people were told boy early and then it turned out to be a girl. I'm hoping that's the case for me, but trying not to get my hopes up too much. It's just so strange, my sway was solid - Femara, husband on ssri, LE diet, one attempt, etc. I should hear back on blood test this week. [emoji51]

bluebooties - Most places won't induce before 40 weeks. That was what I was told with both of my kids.
Lola-Thats a beautiful profile shot! I also feel mine kicking near my pelvis but she has lots of time to turn for me.
Xx - How exciting! Sooo soo close!
Max-I'll keep you updated on my u/s but yea they did tell me most likely a boy around 12 week and a girl at 16. I hope baby is still a girl, I'll take either but I bought pink stuff. I have my scan on Thursday afternoon. I'm just surprised they mentioned anything so early to you when they look almost the same that early. Do you get your blood work results this week?
Side note - I'm 20 weeks today. Half way through!
mommax, you're giving me hope!! :) They told me on Thursday that my bloodwork would come back in 10 days, but I'm hoping this week. Fingers crossed for you that you hear girl again!
Momma are u in the US ?
If so i guess i will just need to figure out another way about it. I am fully determined to not exhaust my vacations for the whole year and since its January i won't have build up sick leaves yet either. We will see on the 21st what the OB says
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Bluedreaming i am so glad that they are going to find out the gender for you :heart: i hope you arent in too much physical pain, if you want to share the gender with us once you know then please do :heart: are you being given the option of a funeral? we had to fight against some absolutely hideous "standard" burial/cremation options with our daughter i really hope you arent facing the same xx
max i really dont think they should have guessed at all, it seems a little unprofessional to me when baby is so early and things arent at all developed down there yet.. fingers crossed so hard for your bloodwork to come back as healthy girl :)
i maybe shouldnt say this but in all honesty i will be so shocked if it is a boy, you guys are pink friendly to begin with-with 2 girls to show for it :) and you went even more pink friendly with your sway and the femara etc, if baby is a boy he is one tough, determined little guy!!
bluebooties i just cant believe you are being put through this :( it makes me so cross seeing how you guys in the US are basically punished for having babies, fingers crossed your OB is sympathetic of your situation and agree's
I hope so too 4blue2pink. I am getting a headache just thinking about how i am going to manage delivering this baby. Takes the fun out of such a cherished and happy occasion.

Max - I completely agree with you and 4b2p that it seems crazy for your baby to be a boy. And unfortunately I understand about the waking up in the middle of the night thing. I so just wish I wanted my baby to be a girl as much as you do. I'm hoping seeing her today will help. I really think you have a good chance at still hearing girl. Oh and my blood results took 5 business days so hopefully you'll hear Friday [emoji175]
