Me too! I've felt pressure around 20 weeks and have been getting painful Braxton Hicks off and on since 25 weeks. I'm 27 weeks today. I'm thinking I'll likely go early- somewhere between 37-39 weeks. My uterus has been measuring 2 weeks ahead since my last appointment at 24 weeks, despite not gaining any weight. Up until then I have been measuring right on target. The same thing happened with my DS3, and he came 12 days early. He also dropped about a week before he came. We will see!

Robin, I think IVF would be a wise route given the circumstances. I'm so sorry for your loss and heartache.

Congrats ahorn! Boys are great as you know!!! Looks like a fun reveal party!!!
Robin - good to hear from you. So sorry you are dealing with all of this. So happy to hear that you have a plan to help you through all of this. HUGS
Inforthree - good to see from you all.
Everyone - thanks for the ideas for helping to hydrate. This heat is just kicking my booty. I will be happy when we are out of the 100s.
congrats Ahorn
Congrats, ahorn. What beautiful photos of your reveal!
Robin, I hope you have good support right now and that you can heal and move forward one day. I also hope that if you do go ahead with IVF it will all go smoothly when the time comes.
Well ladies, it hit me a little harder than I thought it would and I had a bit of a meltdown when all my guests left. It was like a light bulb went off and was like "I will never have a daughter" and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm ok now but DH saw that I was upset and said that we can try again but I just feel that I don't I want to take that chance again because my GD could be worse. Don't get me wrong there's absolutely nothing wrong with boys (and I love my boys to the moon and back) but I just want the experience of raising both genders. So I bought up ivf and he said he's on board and that made me feel a lot better just knowing there's a possibility for a little girl. Not to mention we could guarantee that she wouldn't have sickle cell so he was definitely on board for that.
HUGS ahorn. I can totally relate to the meltdown. I am actually in the middle of one right now. That is awesome that DH is on board with IVF. That would be awesome to make sure she is healthy!
(((Huge Hugs))) ahorn! My heart goes out to you! I'm so glad you had a heart to heart with your DH, and he is supportive of IVF. Please know we are all here for you ❤️!
I will tell you while you of course love your boys and do with this one too, there is something extra special about a DC3. I am not sure what it is exactly, but I have know doubt he will melt your heart when you meet him! I'm glad that IVF is an option and am happy you have a plan for the future!

Thanks Shann and XX!!! Your encouraging words do make me feel better I know you guys have some experience with this. I'm trying to come up with a name for him but it has to start with an "A". So far I have come up Asher, Aiden, or Avery but Ace is my wildcard name (I'm open to suggestions). I already have an Ashton and an Austin so Asher may not be the best choice. I also bought him a few outfits yesterday and I've been looking up somethings on Pinterest to jazz up his wardrobe. I'm actually getting kind of excited looking at the baby clothes. I bought some yarn yesterday so I can crochet him a blanket since he will be born during the winter months. I have to embrace one way or another and fell as though preparing for him and making items for him will help me a lot.
What about Aaron, ahorn? My DS3 is Aaron ❤️!

Ahorn i didnt find out gender with my 3rd son. I just remember giving birth to him and them saying boy and i refused to even look at him, dont know if it was the g&a sending me loopy or not i just kept apologising to my hubby for it not being a girl. But the minute i looked i fell madly in love with him. He had the softest skin ive ever felt on a baby and i had such a lovely time alone in hospital with him. Hes a crazy 8 year old now and i adore him. We did go on to have a girl next x
.
Same with my sister who has 4 boys. Her third is her little angel. They are all very sweet kids, but he is so tender hearted and sweet!

Ahorn, I like Alder too.
:)
I have 4 boys... and I agree that my #3 is a treasure. They are all unique (of course) but he's an extra bit of unique and special. We joke that he is our wild card and we have only seen 1/100 of who he even really is. He is a deep well. :)
All you ladies are so strong having all the same gender. I'm terrified to have two girls. /: I can't imagine hearing it 4 or 5 times! You all are super moms! I can imagine it has its incredibly fun special moments ❤️ I know if I have a girl I'll be bummed but the two girls together will be so sweet and get along so well. My oldest will be a great sister to another little girl :)

I do like Aaron but one of my close friend's named her son Aaron so you know how that goes lol. I think I have decided on Aidan/ Aiden. My brother was talking to me and said "He is going to be the ring leader" and I said "Who Aidan?" So I guess that's his name lol.
Thank you ladies for all the encouraging words!! With each passing day I know that this little boy will hold a special place in my heart and will the perfect fit for our family.
Sending u love and strength ahorn . My 3rd boy is aiden its a nice name .
Aww ladies ive been awake most the night and driving my hubby insane... i know it sounds stupid with the harmony test and gender scan all saying girl and i even think im stupid writing this but i keep looking at the gender scan and to me that looks like a definite boy.. i see scrotum and a penis i feel like im going crazy...i was going to have another scan but worried about the effect it could have on the baby.. is anyone else in this situation or do i need to get a straight jacket ready x il attach the scan that im worried about...thanks ladiesAttachment 36905
I do see what you mean BUT remember ultrasounds are not brilliant as we only see 'shadows' and what the machine interprets. It could be a bit swollen girl bits, or a bit of cord...
Another ultrasound will be fine for you and bubs and if it puts your mind at ease, it is worth it :) she is a girl xxx
Oh my fiveboys iam definitely in the same situation. Im driving myself crazy too i keep looking at my u/s pic and looking at harmony paper thinking is this really true ? I goggle all the time i look at other ppls u/s pictures i think what if they got this wrong for me !! Ive been washing all the baby clothes getting everything ready pretty much everything is pink !!!! I think we are normal dont worry especially after so many boys we are going to doubt no matter until we hold our sweet baby in our arms my God that day couldnt come any quicker !
good morning everyone :)
so I've been dealing with a cold an lingering cough all week and just as I was finally feeling better, I got into a minor biking accident yesterday. I don't bike daily or for sport, we were just on our way home from spending the day at the bike shop making minor adjustments to all of our bikes. Anyway, long story short, I fell face forward, but I managed to move in such a way where my upper body took most of the impact. I was petrified, crying and panicked that I hurt the baby so 'I called the midwife within 5 minutes of falling all shaken up and disoriented.
She gave me signs to look for and offered to set me up an ultrasound appointment. During the call, my shoulder pain got so intense that I couldn't form proper thoughts or speak much so I somehow managed to decline the ultrasound (I have an appt tomorrow with her). I was told to look for spotting, cramping, dizziness, nausea and vomiting and so far I'm fine. Baby was kicking about while I ate a very late dinner. I'm still concerned though, but remaining hopeful. I had DH put his head on my belly to listen in and talk to it, and he got kicked in the face lol, which is normal for this baby to do he/she doesn't like anyone in their personal space.
Anyway, it was very scary. i never lose control of my bike like that, but I went over some new train tracks which made my bike bounce(and I was turning). It was weird and so sudden! I have painful scabbing on my poor elbow and I'm lucky I didn't scrape my face. So glad I had a split second to think of how to fall. If I could, I would have fallen backwards. Baby is bouncing around as I type, reassuring mama.
That's my drama for the month lol, I hope!
ahorn, you look so lovely and the gender reveal looks like fun! So glad your DH is supportive and helping you through.
fiveboys, I have not much experience with ultrasounds, but I'd trust the bloodtest! *hugs*
Aww so scary cosmosis..once you have your ultrasound you will feel much better...i fell up the stairs the other day and got no idea how it was even possible but i spent the whole day worrying..im glad babba is moving xx
How frightening Cosmosis! I'm glad yournp baby is still moving normally! I hope they give you an ultrasound when you have your appointment to put your mind at ease. Please keep us updated! I'll be thinking of you!

So sorry Cosmo! If you feel baby moving normally and there's no bleeding, I'm sure it'll be ok. Sounds very scary, though. How is your shoulder now?
I had my anatomy u/s today! Baby looks healthy but my placenta is low so I have to go back to see if it moves up. I didn't look when they checked the sex, but the facial profile looks SOOOOO much like my other two sons (who look like their dad), that I'm pretty sure this is boy #3 for us!
Check it out. Don't know too many girls with that Elmer Fudd profile, lol.

Edited to add, here is the u/s photo from DS2. The nose and upper lip just look identical to me!

That must have been very scary Cosmo!!! It does sound like baby is doing fine and I hope everything checks out at your appointment.
Erin that's a very cute baby!!! I do hope you get your girl. I wouldn't go off the profile. I sent my profile scan to the gender experts and told me girl. So I'm still holding on to hope for you. FX!!

Cosmo I am glad you can feel baby moving around, that's so reassuring after a scare. <3
My DS4 is Alexander and we call him Alex! I love your names. We have yet to even start thinking of boy names! Not sure why we are not able to even start this time. I guess because we are truly out of boy names we like and need to find some new ones. We have even looked at the credits of movies to see if there are any names that stand out to us in the past. It is crazy what we go through.
