Either way I need to mentally prep myself for either having some pink in our lives or a basketball team. Lol
When is your next ultrasound, ksmom? I know Princess goes in on the 2nd. What about everyone else? BR, are you still considering getting an early gender scan at a private place?
I feel like this is all going by so fast so far. We'll be 11 weeks tomorrow and I feel like we just found out last weekend. I can't imagine how quickly it will all go once summer is over and the holidays begin!
I SO hope you hear girl Littleboyblue!! Can't wait!
I don't know when my next ultrasound will be. I'm still trying to find a midwife at this point since I no longer need my RE. The midwife I used for DS2 isn't practicing right now so I'm having to start all over again finding one to have another home birth with. I'd imagine I probably won't have another ultrasound until my NT scan which likely won't be for another 4 weeks or so.
Eek can't believe some of us are going to be finding out gender soon

Thank you, ksmom:heart: I hope we all hear girl!! 4 weeks will go by fast. Home birth really sounds like such a nice way to bring a baby into the world, but I'm such a wuss!! I've taken the epidural for my last 3 without hesitation. A friend of mine is doing Hypnobirthing for her next baby. It's all so interesting to me, but I don't know if I could hang!! I'm hoping that this baby comes fast enough that I could entertain the idea of birthing drug free. Would be so nice to not have to deal with the after effects of the epidural and I like to think I could survive. Lol
Yes littleboyblue, I'm planning on going for an earlier gender scan was thinking of booking it last night but then I'm going to wait until I had my dating scan at 12 weeks just incase my dates change again. I will be 9 weeks tomorrow!
Don't know if i said it before but I'm also planning a home water birth.

Littleboyblue, it's really not as scary as it sounds! You just sort of get "in the zone" so to speak to help cope with the pain. I was able to talk and laugh between contractions which is not something I was able to do with DS1 since I was induced with him. I'm not going to lie, it did hurt but I forgot about the pain as soon as the baby was out. Home birth isn't for everyone though and I totally understand why someone would rather go to a hospital or birth center. Do what makes you comfortable! I'd really like to do the hypno-birthing this time around. I bought the CDs and book for it last time but I listened to it once then forgot about it. lol
BR, that's awesome! Have you had a home birth before? DS2 was a water birth and it was so amazing! I just used our bathtub. haha
That's right, BR!! Totally forgot about the confusion with your dating. Probably a good idea to wait until you have a definitive date. Home water birth!! Did you do that for any of your other kiddos?
You ladies are inspiring me to go natural!! Although I will definitely be at a hospital;) I love birthing stories.
For 1st son I was in hospital on a bed. Next 2 son's I had hospital water births was absolutely amazing don't want to go back to birthing without water. And because it's hospital you ate not garenteed the pool someone's might be in it. Someone got turned away while I was in it last time. I really don't want tgat to happen to me which is why I'm going to have a hope water birth.
I was planning to last time but I had a meeting at the hospital with the head midwife. I been havinh niggles for day but just assumed it was braxron hicks. Ay 9ne point rje midqife left the room and i was uncomfortable sitting dowm so atood up by the time rhe mideqife walked back in i was rocking to get comortable and hadnt realised the midwife asked was I ok there I explained I was just uncomfortable with the niggles I was getting wasn't painful. So the midwife asked.me.ro pop up on th couch so she could check.if they were doing anything. She said right your more than 5 and half cms get upstairs and have a baby. I refused insisted I was going home for a.wqter birth because I wasn't garenteed the pool. She phone to make sure it was free and also told me i was not allowed to leave the hospital I had to be escorted to my car to telly hubby I was in labour to make sure I didn't leave.
I went upstairs and waited and waited nothing happened. Telling the midwife nothing us going to heppen until my water break and I'm not in labour let me go home. They refused in the end they said if my waters don't go then they would break them at 5pm. Which they did. My contractions started coming thick and fast every 3 mins right away.
The midwife was timing them and was living the room. My hubby made me laugh because he said I was 9nly making noises when Lythe midwife was in the room. I got into the pool water was soothing. Didn't slow them just eased them.
At about 5.30pmidwife came back in the room to stay for good told hubby to start getting baby clothes ready. And asked me if I felt the pain in my bottom I did so she told me to push. I gave one almighty push and delivered his head shoulder all the way down to his hips then nothing no more contractions midwife told me to give one more push I just couldn't I was exhausted. So she reached down into the water and pulled him out the rest of the was. He was born 5.40pm June 6th 2011. I hope i get another birth like that.
Love to hear yours

Congratulations on your twin girls Babygirlquest! You're more than welcome to join us here. :) You're due just four days after me!

I just been feeling down, I really hope I don't like my dd down and pray this baby is a healthy baby girl. I wish I can afford high tech lol that would be awesome
I'm sorry Princessmom, I know how hard it can be to want something so badly.
Hi babygirlquest!! Congrats on your twins! How exciting to have gone high tech for your final pregnancy!
Princessmom, I'm sorry you're down:( I just keep thinking of all of the STRONG positives you have in your side with your swaying, though and think you have SUCH a great shot! I wish my sway was as strong as yours!
BR, love that you still got your water birth after all of the chaos. What a cool experience to have. My friend is going to give me her hypnobirthing book when she's done with it. I'm seriously so intrigued! All three of my births were pretty uneventful. Thankful I had quick labors and a very easy time pushing them out. All three I had an epidural, at the hospital. My first was 9.5 lbs, so that was a bit traumatic for my poor body, but the other two were a breeze comparatively. My last son was a week and a day late. I got checked 2 days prior to having him and I was dilated to 5 and 70% effaced without any contractions. My OB sent me to the hospital, so we had my mom come out to stay with the kids and headed over. They checked me there and hooked me up to the monitors, but I still wasn't having any contractions so they sent me home!! I took the kids to a birthday party the next day and my husband had to work about an hour away. We debated going back to the hospital bc I thought they'd just send me home again, since I still wasn't in labor. But we went in last minute just in case. I was dilated to 6 at that point that the nurse told me I should stay or I risk having the baby in the car or elsewhere. She was so surprised they had sent me home the day before. My regular doctors were out, so the on call doc wanted to just observe me over night and see if I went into labor by myself...which I didn't! So in the morning, they gave me an epidural first thing, a few drops of pitocin and the baby came out without even a push. Lol. Such a stubborn little man, and still is! The fact that I was so far dilated though, makes me think I could have gone drug free and I know it would have been so fast once everything got started. But I was not prepared for it at that time, so it didn't even cross my mind as an option. I'm hoping that this 4th one is a quick and easy labor and delivery
Thanks ladies hope we all have healthy baby girls growing inside of us!
Anyone hear already have a dd? I feel like the odd one lol but I know their no judging here. On another site I got bashed for already having a daughter, this was a year and half ago, and since then I stick with gender dreaming I love it here
Wow water birth sounds awesome! BR you are a strong woman lol
I have a questions since you had midwife.
My new office is awesome there one MD he a male and two female midwifes. I currently see mid wife but have to see all 3 and pick who I want to deliver me.
Now with my dd I seen a midwife she was awesome but a md attending delivered me.
I never had a midwife deliver me, so what's the difference?
I will ask more questions when I return, all she said is their more lay back.
I don't know what she meant by that.
My dd and my youngest ds but had cord wrapped around their necks.
My youngest DS doc called cold blue secretly but he was fine like in a second.
Only my mom caught that he wasn't breathing.
My dd had sugar issues and swallowed the meconium,
I honestly probably had about 15 docs from nicu with her she finally cried few minutes later that was so scary!! So I am just worried what "laid back" means
She also said if something were to go wrong the doc is right down the hall.
I also kept bleeding after my son's birth but all was fine
Hello ladies . I'm preg with my third baby and I'm due in December 25 . I have 2 boys and would love to have a little girl . I did not do any diet just timing . Let's see if works . Anyways it's nice knowing some people out there that are going through the same body changes I'm :)

Princessmom, the fact that you already have a daughter didn't even cross my mind. You still very much want a little girl this time around, so you're in the same boat in my book;). I don't ever sit here and wish that one of my boys was a daughter...they are who they are and I can't imagine them as anyone else. BUT I do so hope we are having a little girl this time around:)
As far as midwives, I can't speak to that. I would think, though that if you're in a hospital setting and the doctor is nearby, it wouldn't be an issue. But I don't know! I've always liked having my OB there for deliveries for peace of mind, but have never had he option of a midwife to consider.
Welcome, Tata! Congrats on your pregnancy!!
Ok, so here's a new pregnancy symptom I've never encountered before. I have this constant need to spit in the sink. I don't know if I'm producing more saliva or something, but it's like swallowing it is not an option. I have to spit it out half of the time. So very random to me.
.
Princess mom I'm going to have to let let the other girl take over on that question. Here we only have midwives. We don't have a doctor come. And deliver unless something is going wrong.
A doctor will pop by after you has the baby to check.the baby over but that is it If labour went well.
I will be under consultant led care this time which means I will see I doctor for extra checked ups and he may request I have antibiotics while in labour but he won't be there
Also princess mom. Now we are pregnant this group is not meant to be just for wanting a girl it's meany to be jusy a duw date geoup its just only people as it turns our everyone here so far has swayed girl. Please don't feel like the odd one out.

Welcome tata. You always have a shot at a baby girl I do wish we could all get one.
Eak xmas baby. My due date changed from 25th to the 23rd

Thanks ladies! Yes I will be delivering at the hospital so I'm sure it's fine. I just don't want a male doctor that why I think I might go with the midwife lol, I have time to think about it.
This pregnancy I have strange taste in my mouth that comes and goes and I hate it! It doesn't taste like metal like I read online it like a bitter taste. So strange.
Welcome tata
I need to ask . I have been smelling vinegar all day long for at least 3 weeks now . I know it's not me I'm clean .It's like inside my nose . I don't know . Is there anybody out there smelling something crazy like that ?

I dont have it but your senses are higher during pregnancy. Smells seem stronger to me. I can smell thing before others do
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
Welcome tata! The due date my RE gave me was Dec. 25th but I think she calculated wrong because I think it's supposed to be the 26th (this is my 3rd baby too). You definitely have a chance at having a girl! I hope you get your wish...I hope we all get our wish! And yes that weird smell is completely normal. Last week I swear I kept smelling vomit all day long. Drove me crazy!
Littleboyblue, I feel the same. I love my boys so much and don't ever wish they were girls. My mom makes comments all the time about DS2 saying "too bad he isn't a girl!" Ugh. I'm GLAD he's not a girl because then he wouldn't be who he is! I really do want to have a daughter though and I think it would be great if my boys could have a little sister. A gal can dream ya know! hehe ;)
Babygirlquest, we considered HT but after talking about it DH and I decided we just didn't want the debt that comes with it. I almost felt guilty about it. We're moving next year and really wanted to remain debt free for it. I just had all these "what ifs" running through my head, like what if it doesn't work and we're out thousands of dollars? Honestly though I think if I'd have known what I would have to go through to get to this point, I think I would have considered HT more seriously. I'm so jealous and happy for you that it worked the first time AND you get to have twins! Super exciting!!
Princessmom, "laid back" just means midwives tend to let you do your own thing in regards to how you want to labor and give birth. They also tend to have better bedside manner and listen to concerns better than most doctors. If something goes wrong, they know how to act quickly and if needed, a doctor can come help. DS2's cord was getting compressed as I was pushing and he wasn't breathing when he came out (cord was still attached though so still receiving oxygen) so my midwife quickly and calmly gave him a few puffs of air. He was totally fine after that. They're very well trained and not some tree hugging hippies like some people believe. LOL
My food aversions are still really strong. I'm struggling to find things to eat!!
Ksmom thanks! I think I might go with the midwife I just don't feel comfortable with a man lol
Me neither! lol Even DH says he isn't comfortable with a male OB looking at my hoo-ha! LOL
