Eighme: When is your scan? SO excited to find out what you’re having. I hope you start to feel better soon too!

Yay, raining! I can't wait! So, I go see my doctor this week but no scan. I don't know if they will book me for an ultrasound at my appointment (which would be another four weeks to five weeks[emoji24]). So I'm considering going to get a private ultrasound done in three weeks to see if we can determine the gender!

I can't wait!

So sorry about your dog TP, I lost my pet last year and I was beyond devastated like I’d lost a family member, I can really relate!

Tp sorry about your dog:(:hugs:

Hannah in my anatomy scan in the beginning of 12 weeks doctor was also very sure about gender so we think it is boy.

Oh TP :( I'm so sad for you! We had to make the beyond heart breaking decision to euthanize him. He has cancer in his nasal cavity and it spread through his little body like wild fire. Our DS3 was 3 weeks old. I don't think it was any wonder I suffered quite badly with PND in the months after.
What I'm saying is that my heart feels for you. I truly hope you will be ok xx

Which of course makes me think it’s a boy just because of how quickly she was able to tell. But I think we’ll still stick to team green. After this pregnancy no matter what baby they hand me, I’ll be in love. Anyone else having a rough pregnancy?

I am so glad all was good at that scan. And well done for sticking Team Green!

I'm having a fairly hard run of it right now too so I hear ya! I'm tired, sick, my breast tenderness has not eased one bit and they've grown two sizes already. I enjoyed an easy pregnancy on DS3 so despite having had a hard time on DS1 and DS2 I had forgotten how life altering it can be to have a tough pregnancy. Hoping the second trimester brings some relief and energy!!

Thank you all so much! I am so grateful how understanding you all are. We got no sleep last night as we were so worried he wouldn't make it, and he hasn't been able to sleep as it's in his lungs and it's taking so much work for him to breathe. Our vet said we could take him for a second opinion to an oncologist, and we called every single one in the area -- the soonest we can get in is Thursday afternoon, which would be a whole other day and night (it's Wednesday morning here by me).

This is all just so incredibly sudden. We had just got him vaccinated against the canine flu since it's been bad around here, and we wondered when after he started coughing/having some trouble breathing if he caught it at the vet. Brought him in, they listened and suspected some sort of bronchial infection, gave him antibiotics, and he just got so bad over this weekend (not eating as much, can't sleep because every breath is a labor) that I brought him in before his followup appointment and the X-rays show how bad whatever cancer it was spread to his lungs...

I thought I was over grief. I thought we had so, so much more time with him (he's a medium sized dog, always healthy, guessing at just about 9). And it's just exacerbating my GD so bad in such odd ways!! Especially since our daughter has always called him "big brother" :(

Thank you all. I hope everyone's scans get less ambiguous, or at least less stressful! I will be harboring myself away...

What his prognosis for this? I completely understand. We lost my husband's cat (she felt like mine more so because she favored me) to cancer and it was the most difficult thing to watch her suffer. It was heart breaking because he had her for 15 years, she was just a part of our family.

Wishing you comfort and peace during this time for you and your family.

His prognosis is "grim" as we were told. It had metastasized so much in his lungs that even chemo "might only give him a month or two at most." I frantically googled all night (and luckily have a family member who is a vet) and there could be a slim chance its an uncommon fungal infection, but the prognosis for that apparently isn't much better... any care at this point is hospice, and since the problem is his breathing they said there weren't any meds we could give him :(

Thank you all again for the comfort. I just can't get over how quickly this all spiraled. I was just planning all the walks we were going to do this fall to help get baby in good position. :(

Noemi I still don’t think gender can be accurate at 12 weeks!

Big hugs tp xx
