Sarah 4 Girl- It shows promising results but so did shettles and no one has been able to duplicate his study to anywhere close to that accuracy. Its a fun thing to guess on :) It was right in my case for DS as he was on the right, this new baby is on the left so I hope its true for us again but never something to go buy baby stuff off of!
Hello ladies...exciting time with all the newbies and some of us finding out gender! Welcome all the new BFPs!!
I had to switch from my OB that I adore to a midwife group. The group my OB is with won't allow VBACs...WTH?? DD2 was breech so she was a c-section and DD3 was a VBAC. I am not a c-section fan unless its absolutely necessary!
I had hoped to book a scan at 13weeks to get some good nub & skull shots for my sweet friends on Gender Dreaming to guess...but with traveling, visitors, Christmas etc I couldn't get a good time. I was able to book a scan for 14w5days. The package we are getting won't determine gender (which is good) but I am hoping for some very clear nub shots!
BUT...the panic has kicked in....I am honestly getting to the point where I don't want to know the gender. DH is anxious to know but I am in "ignorance-is-bliss" land right now and so tempted to stay there!!!
Hi Adia! My DS was breech and I'm hoping for a vbac this time. Congrats on already having a successful vbac last time - I'm so nervous mine won't work.
I'm starting to enjoy not knowing gender as well and considering team green but DH is insisting on finding out and I'm not sure I could deal with him knowing but not me.
Vbac is possible! And so rewarding. You CAN do it.Quote:

I wish everyone luck with their VBACs. I am surprised that breeches were an issue, my doctor said she can flip a breech baby pretty easily just by manipulating moms tummy around, she said it's much more difficult to flip a posterior baby than a breech baby, I guess I assumed it was pretty easy to deal with. It wasn't an issue for me, but I guess it's one of those easier said than done things. I really hope everyone gets the birth that they want!!

Ok when you say left. Do you mean when you look down its on your left side. Or if someone is looking at you it's on your left side? I asked my dr what side the yolk sac was and she said pretty much in the middle but lightly left. Bit I think she was meaning her left? (Transvaginal US)Quote:

Welcome Grace and congrats !
Adia I cant imagine staying team green , I need ti know , if its a boy I will be over the moon but if its another girl I will have time to accept and love..
Hey ladies my last baby was an emergency c-section and its something I don't want to have to go through again. My midwife team said they will support me with a home birth (I wanted one for my last 2 pregnancies but never got to 37 weeks with either of them) I'm so worried about a VBAC but so want one, I honestly don't think I will get a home birth as each baby has come earlier and earlier my last being at 34weeks but I so so wish to not have a c-section.
Anybody ever had or having a home birth?
I go through waves of panic. Some days I'm totally fine not knowing what gender this baby is, then some days I feel like I NEED to know either way. I'm just a bit over 4 weeks now, so I still have a looooooong way to go. I'm just nervous in general though. I so desperately want this baby to be a boy, and now that I'm pregnant I feel like my "chance" is gone, if that makes any sense? It's either one way or the other now.
At least DH is excited either way. He's been my little cheerleader when I'm feeling down. He knows I want a boy, took his supps and watched me take mine every morning, but I don't think he knows the depth of my want. If we hear girl with this one, I just don't want him to know my disappointment. I'm going to do some real soul-searching in the next few weeks to try to come to peace with all of this either way. I do NOT want to have GD with this baby. At DD 2's ultrasound I cried when they said girl, then was so overwhelmed with guilt for crying...ugh. I don't want to go through that again. I'm sure some of you can relate.
Anyway, sorry for the novel! I've just been on overdrive lately in my head:)
Christi - I tried the ECV procedure your OB recommends for flipping breech babies and no luck. My DS was my first and as he put it my uterus wasn't very stretched out and pliable and ECV is more likely to work with women who've had more babies and have a more stretchy uterus. I think success rate is <50% for FTM (but don't quote me on that!). I was obsessed with having a natural vaginal delivery (home birth was my dream!) so a C-section wasn't what I wanted at all. That being said my C-section was incredible and sometimes I feel stupid for wanting to try a VBAC :) .
belleboi - We can all totally relate! I'm so sure that this baby is a boy. Some days I'm OK with it and excited about having 2 little guys running around and other days I'm sad because we're 90% sure we're done with 2 and the idea of no daughter makes me bummed. I'm having my blood draw tomorrow so I will know in less than 2 weeks. It's dumb but I'm not really that excited to find out because I know it will be "bad" news. Hopefully if the baby is healthy I will get over it and move on quickly. Two healthy children of any gender is a huge blessing and I need to grow up and be happy with what God/the universe has given me. I think my biggest fear is the ugly comments I will get, but I think we are going to send out a New Years card with the news on it "baby boy coming July 2015!" so hopefully people can process the news on their own and they can pretend to be happy for me when they see me.
