Awwwww your bean is adorable
Wow, amazing baby pics!! So cool.
Is anyone else nauseous at night? I am also full of cold so this might not help but I was awake a couple of hours in the night feeling soooo sick. Yesterday I felt sick all day and spent the whole day nibbling (am going to be so huge at this rate...). My boobs are incredibly sore to the point where I can't sleep or get comfortable in clothes. Anyway... how is everyone doing? I am nervous about my scan on Wednesday! I really hope it's grown the right amount!

Good luck for your scan honeybee !
I am feeling a bit down today, my symptoms have vanished at 7 weeks+1 day.
People say it's normal for them to come and go, but after so many mc, it does make me fearful.
Am paying for a private scan at 9weeks+2 (midwife told me to wait until then, as if it's good news, the chance of a mc at over 9 weeks is less than 1%)
Hi honey- I am neasous all day but my fever spikes at night. I feel miserable all day. Boobs only slightly sore. I have my first ultrasound Wednesday too! I will be 8w0d. I am excited and nervous. Good luck on yours.
Sparkles, I am sorry you are feeling fearful. I understand. I would give anything for the nausea to go away but if it did I know I would wonder if that was a bad sign. Lots of ladies have perfectly healthy pregnancies with little symptoms (I envy them right now). This first trimester really is harder both physically and mentally, with worry and wonder, than I would have guessed. My sister doesn't understand why I worry about mc and won't tell anyone I am pregnant...I just know too many ladies who have had loses and I think my age adds an element of doubt to that (only 35 but that is still the age they warn you risks rise).
I am feeling kinda down. I know it is probably because I am sick all day and that makes me miserable but I am fearing now how much life is going to change and if we are really ready for this. Hoping Wednesday's scan will help me feel more connected to baby and hopeful.

Hi all of you lovely ladies! BFP on my 6. cycle swaying for a girl after 3 boys. Due June 21.
I had one missed abortion in July so hope this one sticks. Had a scan on Friday and the doctor saw and heard the heart beating. Baby is 7+5 days.
I am feeling miserable with nausea, fatigue and sore boobs. The only thing that save my day is to go to bed same time with my kids and get 8-9 hors of sleep every night. Symptoms is much worse than with my previous pregnancies. But I have heard that the older you get, symptoms will get worse. It is 6,5 year ago I gave birth last time to my third son, so this is quiet overwhelming for me to be pregnant at the age of 41,5. I am both exited and nervous. I know my family will be chocked to hear that we are expecting. I look forward to follow your journeys and I am thankfull to have some due buddies in this valuable forum.
Anyone doing the Panorama/Harmony test from week 9/10 - to make sure the cromosomes are normal?
Harmony costs $500 here in australia so its a bit expensive I think
Welcome dreamsister! I too am going to bed at the same time as my children and it will also be 6.5 years since I gave birth!
I definitely did not feel this wiped out with my other pregnancies. I feel so so wiped out... is anyone else struggling with feeling faint/lightheaded? I nearly fainted during the school run today and my son's teaching assistant had to get me a drink of water and a biscuit... so embarrassing!!

I was thinking that too, especially as the 'safe' zone is meant to be after 12 weeks.Quote:

Definitely not sure what to do, will wait until after my scan at 9 weeks
Cute bean Allblue!
Welcome dreamsister!! I love all of these new ladies joining!! In my last DD group I was apart of the handful that was due last, very different to be apart of the group that's due in the beginning!
So sorry to hear about so much nausea ladies! With DD1 I was worthless... just felt like some hit me with a truck and I was so nauseous! So pink dust all around!!
Sparkles, you're in my thoughts!! I hope bean is sticky just causing a bit of trouble!
I am a US lady and my insurance doesn't allow NIPT testing... My husband is Active Duty Army, so our insurance is a bit different than civilian ladies. I would have to shell out like $690.00 in my area. So, surely out of the question! We have to rely on the good 'ol ultrasound. We have decided... well I have DH has no idea what's going on, haha, that we'll go for a private scan or so because of the uncertainty of my next appt!
I am running a bit warm, my feet and fingers are cold tho. I had some rough morning sickness on Friday morning but it's been smooth sailing since. Minor pregnancy issues here and there but nothing too awful! I thought I was going to have to tell everyone I was pregnant on Friday, tho... I was so green from my crockpot roast leftovers! I am still hungry all of the time, what I want changes every 3 seconds... this weekend I ate a lot of fried eggs, bacon and toast because I was talking about it, lol and it settled well! Thinking of you all!
Also, DH and I did have a heart to heart last night... he was being a bear because the puppy has kept him up (his fault, haha). Anyways, he asked me how I would react to another girl. I explained to him that if bean is another girl I would love her of course, but I will be mourning our son... and that I would need his support, he said he didn't really know how to approach me. (MEN!) I told him, he probably wouldn't have to 'approach me' it would be natural. He seemed to understand, but has his doubts about swaying. He is generally understanding but it's hard for him because he believes it's up to God... which I understand. Gender Disappointment is so hard to explain and deal with!
It is so hard to explain isn't it bre.
People cannot truly 'get it'.
I feel more at peace now, knowing that everything points to my sway having failed, but I struggled last week (thought dreadful thoughts, and hated myself).
It really is like mourning, and letting go of the hope and dream of your desired gender.
But people think "What is wrong with her?! She's pregnant, and thats a blessing"
Doesn't make our feelings any less valid !
How is your DHs reacting to your pregnancies? Is he exited, neutral or worried? My DH is worried. I also worry about how a little new one will affect our family and I worry about what if the child is not healthy. This would really put a pressure on our life. I also worry about not having enough time for my 3 little ones. Maybe my hormones are playing with me. I guess it is normal to worry. But I wish I could just relax, enjoy and have faith that everything will turn out well. Having worries sucks. Anyone also worries too much?

I was going to add, that I also have fears of if the baby isn't healthy ?
Is that with every pregnancy ?
I just found out that a lady on my large family group is having a girl after 4 boys...my immediate heart reaction was jealousy 🙁 I feel like a terrible person....im jealous of a total stranger...im even more convinced that I will be the one with 5 boys.

My husband is generally excited! His grandfather had 7 kids and when we found out about this one he was excited to resemble his grandfather. I do think swaying and GD isn't quite as romantic and he is worried that my dreams of blue will be crushed and how that will affect me.Quote:

Wauh. How can one not notice a pregnancy and find out at 27 weeks! That is absolutely shocking.Quote:

Don't loose faith. Maybe you have a pink bean cooking right now. Try not to focus on gender although I know it is hard not to.Quote:

We've decided not to pay for the NIPT test, we had a long discussion, and if the baby had DS we wouldn't terminate.
So it would just be a really expensive gender test, and again we wouldn't terminate on the basis of gender....so might as well wait for nub scrutinisation lol
No kidding!! She said she had no symptoms what so ever! They were going through a lot life wise. They only way she realized she was pregnant was because she felt movement!!Quote:

Was ramzi right with your other boys? It could have been a different viewing plane, ya know? Don't put too much into it! I can't believe it's almost nub time!
Looking back I think it was, my sister in law who is due the same as me hers looks like a girl..Quote:

I am advanced maternal age and my DH and I will terminate the pregnancy if the baby have chromosome abnormality. I will use the blood test as a supplement to the nuchal translucency scan you get offered through the public health care system here at 12-wks.
Dreamsister,
A lot of women are using the panorama or Harmony here.
After the nuchal scan...if there is a high risk, they have the blood test instead of the amnio.
I definitely think thats wise if you know you will terminate.
I'm a geriatric pregnancy (charming, but thats how they say it in the UK) so at increased risk of abnormalities.
I'm not sure what is going on with everyone but I saw this and just wanted to mention that the nuchal screens, triple and quad screens are really, really unreliable and the main factor for a "positive" reading (because it isn't a test, it is just a screening process to decide who should have an amnio and who shouldn't) is maternal age. So virtually all of us over 35 will automatically get a high risk on those even if our nuchal scans are perfectly fine. I would not ever recommend anyone have triple/quad screen, ever. I have only ever seen false positives and a lot of terror and heartache from using them. I know the blood tests are expensive but at least they are accurate.Quote:

Had my first ultrasound today. Could very clearly see baby and the flutter of the heart beat. Heart rate was 171 which tech said was nice and strong. Baby measured almost perfect for how far along I am. Tech said 7w6d and I am 8w0d so right where it needs to be.
It was great to see and I felt instantly happy but that joy is quickly over shadowed by the constant sickness, needing to eat, not wanting to eat, not sleeping at night and the endless fever feeling.
I know I will get there, but the idea of something living inside me and making me sick all the time feels more parasitic and weird than a beautiful miracle. Keeping my sights set on second trimester and hoping I feel emotionally better when I don't have the urge to puke non stop.
Thanking the Lord for a healthy bean despite the sickness.
Hi GirlieCat. Thanks for updating us and huge congrats with the scan. You certainly have a healthy bean growing in there. I know how you feel about not being able to relax and enjoy the feeling full force because of sickness and not well being. I also still feel miserable all day long and night too and getting up and go to work and taking care of family is a huge effort. I hope having these strong pregnancy symptoms is only a good sign and that it goes away when we enter our second trimester. Are you going to do any NIPT tests?

Thanks for commenting on this, Atomic. Did you have any tests or scans with your DD? What is triple/squad screens?Quote:

Girliecat !
Such a gorgeous little bean, well less bean more baby now !
Thank you for sharing with us.
I hope you start to feel better soon x
Sorry you are feeling bad too. Last night I finally got a little more sleep so I hope today is better than yesterday. I had a migraine yesterday on top of it all but I don't feel comfortable taking Tylenol even though I was told I could so I was pretty miserable.Quote:

Honey, how did your scan go yesterday? Hope it was all good news.Quote:
