Thanks everyone - may change my name to shattered dreams! Good luck on Tuesday mrs p x
Thanks - sorry Wednesday and good luck to you praying too. Are you having a gender scan?
Oh onelastdream... :( I'm so sorry. I know in time you will be ok, but for now let yourself grieve. When you're ready we will goo and gaa over your gorgeous baby. :HH:
I'm going for a scan today at 2pm (it's currently 8am) .. Checking for twins and viability, naturally. Hope all is well - although I feel sick enough - surely baby is fine. ;) good luck with the other scans!! :) xx
So sorry onelastdream, :hugs:, hope you feel better soon.
Good luck hoping, I've got my booking appointment tomorrow afternoon, am a bit nervous as it'll become "official" then! Hoping to hear a heartbeat if it's possible, but not sure if 8 weeks is too early.

OneLastDream, I am so sorry you didn't hear girl. I can imagine how hard it is and feel for you so much. We all understand and wouldn't be here if we didn't. I spent most of Saturday crying as I think its a boy and I don't even know yet. It helps me to talk to someone I trust (my mum) about it and let the feelings be real. Lots of hugs to you.
:) hey hey! Scan went well.. Baby is measuring perfectly thus far. Heart rate was 147. Don't know about placenta.. Forgot to ask the tech.. :)

Congratulations on your healthy little boy one last dream. And on your healthy little one hopingforasaskia.
I spent a good part of the weekend cuddling my brand new niece and came away thinking that I would be very happy with another little girl. I really hope I can find out on Friday I hate not knowing
first trimester going fast hopefully will feel better soon ugg-
mrsp- you said this is the first tiem you will be hearing hb. is this your 1st appt?
i still haven't contacted a mw i sually don't until after 1st trimester but my last mw doesn't serve my area anymore so now i have to find a new one, not very happy about this:(
so soon I'll have to be on the hunt. luckily i have option and know a couple of them already
Hi ladies! Back from my appointment and the baby is still baking ok. I scheduled my anatomy scan for 1/29 at 9:10am EST. I will be a nervous wreck until then. Anyone else in the States troubled by the 18 flu related infant deaths? Scary ;-(
Glad to hear all the good appointments and scans we have going on. I had my checkup today and all is well too. Except I have the flu still :( but I am happy cause today I am at the half way mark!!! Ill be delivering at 38 weeks by csection so I'm half way through my pregnancy :)
Ladies-on my first day back to work today, I met a woman named Margaret. Later this afternoon, I bought a baby girls outfit for a friend who just had a baby. The shirt label read 'Maggie and Zoe'. When I got to the cashier, her name tag read 'Margaret'. If this baby is a girl, she'll be Margaret. Could the Universe be screwing with my head??? LOL. I feel like her name is everywhere I go.
Hi ladies, nice to hear some good news. I had my first midwife appt, just paperwork but should get first scan date through soon. I'm irrationally scared I'm not going to see a heartbeat, just hope this vague nausea means all's well.
Am a bit p*ssed off cos I saw my medical records on the computer screen, and when I contacted my doc in august due to an interaction between vitex+my migraine medication she has noted it down as "been taking some herbal concoction to try to increase chances of conceiving a girl". She's supposedly a specialist in women+children's health so you'd think she'd take more interest in research about swaying. I'm feeling a bit hurt and ridiculed by someone who appeared to be taking me seriously when i talked it all through with her before TTC. What do you think, hormonal touchiness or justified hurtness?

I hear you, I spoke to my GP a lot about what I was doing, as I didn't want to do anything harmful. When she wrote my referral for FS she wrote on it about me being on a girl diet which had casused me to lose so much weight have probably stopped Oing so need to gain weight before anything else. I thought thanks how is that going to help me, the FS is just going to tell me to go away before he sees me.
Jadis, I hope it all means something, it has to, doesn't it. I play stupid games with myself, like if I see a pram at the shops, I say if is a girl in it it means I'm having a girl. So dumb I know.
cvd, pleased all is well and hope your feeling better soon. I see your choosen a name, I really like it.
Praying4pink, good luck for the 29, pleased your appointment went well.
OneLastDream, your 4D picture is so cute. I love those photos. Hopefully this will help you bond. How are you feeling?
CVD-you've decided on a name?? Fill me in! I'd love to know it.
Oh you must be on your phone! I just put it in my signature thing today lol. Maverick :) DH says we're still open to others if we hear a better name but were done searching. I really like it! I don't think well hear something better :) now we need to pick a middle name lol!
Hi ladies,
OneLastDream - that 4D pic is so cute!
HopingforSaskia - adorable tiny baby pic!
I have been feeling really down today, I booked my anatomy scan for Feb 7 - one month until we find out the gender. I'm terrified!
I wish I was a more relaxed person, so hard to enjoy anything with a big grey cloud hanging over my head - and totally my fault it is. The thought of 2 more boys!
LMO - I can sympathise with your crying!
Hope everyone is doing well. XX
Hi Maple, I totally understan but I have a really good feeling for you and that you will atleast have one pinky in there. It is so hard to enjoy the pregnancy isn't it. It is all I think about, I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy. Definitely my last and my first pregnancy I hated. I wanted so much for this to be different. Did you get any idea from your last scan? Did you get nub shots? FX for you for the 7 Feb.
Maple and lo123 and jadis I truly hope you get your dreams. It's not good to feel so low - gd really sucks xx
Well between being sick and being nervous about my advanced NT scan tomorrow, I can't sleep a wink. Wish me luck tomorrow(later today)!
Good luck Bama Belle, hope it goes well for you. And good luck for 29th praying, and for 7th maple.
Sorry you're feeling so low onelastdream, I can imagine how bad you feel, I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose my dream at my scan too and I'm dreading it. I just don't think I'm prepared at all. I hope you start feeling better soon, your baby boy will be adorable I'm sure, he must be destined for great things to have survived the sway tactics.
Maple+LO, I feel the same, struggling with trying to enjoy every aspect of this last pregnancy, but at the same time stressing horribly about the gender. I found myself watching a complete stranger's gender scan on YouTube last night (girl of course) and when they started looking down below my heart was hammering in my chest so hard I thought I'm going to have a heartattack at my scan, I'm not sure if I can do this. I can't bear not knowing and risking ruining the birth moment, plus not finding out won't change the gender, it'll only prolong my fantasy. I thought by the time I was pregnant I'd have got this straight in my head but I'm just not ready to hear boy again at all. :(
LO I'm sorry your doctor was skeptical too, it's so hurtful. I feel like a fool grasping at straws, or at least that that's how others see me. It's made me think twice about telling people we swayed. I think I'll tell close friends we did what is currently thought to sway and are hoping for the best, but I don't think I'll mention it to anyone else. I can't bear the thought of people pitying me+saying "what a shame, poor deluded fool did all that and seriously believed what she ate would give her a girl". I'm nervous just thinking about finding out and it won't be for 12 weeks yet - I still need to find out if there's definitely something in there first! This is a tough journey, I'm glad I'm not doing it alone. :hugs:

Hi girls. Can I join you all? I am expecting on 1 August and have 3 little boys. I did a big LE style sway and am hoping with all my heart it is a little girl nestled in my belly at the moment, but fearing it is not. I have not been on GD much since my BFP as I have been struggling a lot with morning sickness and fatigue. It seems to be settling down now (earlier than any of my other pregnancies which makes me 1) paranoid that the baby has been lost and 2) sure it is a boy as morning sickness is meant to be worse with girls). I am having a really bad night with GD tonight after visiting my last remaining "all boy" mum friend who kind of "got it" a little bit at the hospital after she has just given birth to a baby girl. Held the baby girl dressed all in pink for an hour - torture! About to go post in the GD forum about it. Anyway I would love to join you guys to chat about the pregnancies. I have skimmed back over some of the thread and my heart goes out to those who have had a loss or found out they are having an opposite... so hard.
