When I had my spotting it was about that time and I've heard it is very common due to hormones getting confused or something but the blood isn't coming from the baby. Good sign that you still feel sick and haven't had any more so try not to worry - easier said than done I know! x
I suppose roughly, yes... but don't know. Definitely have had zero today. I'm seeing the midwife, finally, for the first time tomorrow and will be giving her the report from the early ultrasound (which mentions an area of bleed and also the possible vanishing twin gestational sac/area) and will tell her about the spotting I've had since that ultrasound (just twice... and a spot, literally) and just let her know I am not feeling at ease and still worried and I'll ask questions about the area of bleed. They'll know my miscarriage history so we'll see what she says.Quote:

butterfly- your shirt in your avatar pic is freaking me out lol
Fever is dangerous in pregnancy because there is a link to increased autism cases in women who had fever. So you want to keep it as low as possible at all times.
Butterfly I love that shirt!!
Good luck tomorrow Grace!!
I almost bought a shirt like that too butterfly! Too cute!
Good luck Grace, will be stalking!
Does anyone know the difference between an allergic reaction rash, eczema, or acne? I have this only on my thighs...little raised red bumps that itch at times...only at night it seems when I am sitting still. It is so ugly and I don't know if I should call the dr or treat myself!!
NC I think I have the same rash, only on top of my feet. It scratches like hell at night, and when I wear tight shoes. I've had it for two weeks and now it almost disappeared, didn't do anything to treat it.
I had something similar during my last pregnancy, it was more toward the end though. It was all on my arms, belly, and legs. They told me it would go away once I had him. I would say if you're concerned, at least call in to see what they say!
Thanks ladies for wishing me luck, it means a lot to know I'm not alone! I'll update as soon as I get home :nails:
Sending you every pink dust I have left Grace!
Good luck Grace!!!! Will be hanging out for your result!!!
My friend just told me about The Australian Institute of Ultrasound, its a training facility 15mins from where i live on the Gold Coast. They constantly ask for volenteers via their facebook page to come and have free scans. They do sex determination at 16weeks, and you get a dvd copy of the whole thing for free, it takes about 1hour and about 3 trainees have a go on you. I think i will try to get in for sure at 16 weeks, and i have not decided to tell DP yet.
Anyone else had problems with their ears popping/ going all funny like when you're on an aeroplane? I was at a baby fair on Saturday in a sports hall when it first happened, I just couldn't get them to pop properly to clear it so whenever I spoke I felt like I was speaking with my fingers in my ears. It took about 30 minutes to stop, then yesterday I took the dog for a walk and it happened again.
Never had it before but I'm wondering if it is linked to all the excess phlegm (sorry for tmi!) I have had this pregnancy. So bizarre!
On a different note I've been looking at travel systems and have fallen in love with a gorgeous purple one, not sure I could get away with using it for a boy though. :/
4 weeks today I have my scan so will have to wait until then to see whether purples is the way to go!
That's so awesome cinns! Wish there was something like that here! You get to see your bubba for so long.
My scan is literally going to be about 5-10mins, no DVD, not even sure I will get a photo, but it was the cheapest elective I could find.
Does your Dp want to know?

Yeah he wants to know but i know how disappointed he will be if its a girl, i feel like i would need to break it to him gently rather than have him find out at the 18 week scan. Im still unsure how to deal with his GD i know he will be so happy to get a boy.
Good luck today Grace x
First appointment went well.
I mentioned to them that the prenatal I'm taking contains some vitamin A (not from the Retinol type... I think it's more from vegetables/fruit because it's a raw prenatal, which I tried to explain but explained badly! I should have brought them with me) and she said that in the UK NO vitamin A should be taken. I figured because this is a raw prenatal with its vitamin sources from vegetarian foods it should be okay? I guess I'll have to show them. I suppose, personally, I feel like it is likely okay... as it is not vitamin A from the sources they warn against and is from things I would eat in a normal diet, anyway. But, ooooof! Then on the other hand, I worry that I've doomed my baby... but if that was the case, we'd never eat any vegetables/fruit with vitamin A in it during pregnancy! I think she thought it was like the vitamin in a prenatal form, which it sort of is, but the prenatal is a RAW prenatal, so it is packed full of WHOLE foods, not just straight-up vitamins... if that makes sense...
My son's pushchair is slightly purple (with trees on the seat!) and he wore purple all the time! GET IT! :)Quote:

So sorry it isn't a girl Grace but huge congrats on your baby boy, so glad you are taking it well but don't be afraid to have a good cry if you need to. Far better to get it out of your system and then look forward to meeting your gorgeous little man.
Big hugs xxx
Grace I'm really sorry you didn't hear girl hun! Congratulations on another beautiful little boy though!! You sound like your handling it really well, but if u do need to vent you know where we are big hugs xxx
Thanks Suregena ;)
Thanks girls, I'm really touched by your sympathy , Your comments almost made me cry, but I think I'll be ok soon. Trying to focus on how great my boys are. Yesterday I picked up DS2 (he wasn't feeling well) and he said: 'oh, mommy' and gave me this huge hug and patted me on my shoulder.. What more can I ask for?
I totally agree with mummypink! You have the best attitude! Just know it is OK to let it all out...don't feel like you have to hold it all in. Congrats on your sweet baby boy.
Yesterday I was looking through baby pictures from DS1 and DS2 and they were so cute. My heart melted all over again! Boys truly are very special and we are all so lucky and blessed!
Sorry you didn't hear girl grace, congratulations on your baby boy xxxx
Grace, sorry you never heard girl. You sound like your doing well, but all the girls are here for you if you need us. Huge congrats on your little boy!! x
Hey Ladies....I've been lurking for weeks reading this thread. I have posted before on some threads but it's been a while. Just wanted to jump in and say that I have enjoyed reading along through everyone's journey here. I am almost 13 weeks, but will have to wait until at least 18-20 weeks before my ultrasound. I think it was Cinss that said she and one other lady were the only ones going for a boy.....but just wanted to say I am too....count me in on the boy wish list. It blows my mind how so many of you ladies just keep having boys, boys, boys....and then here I am with three girls in a row (as my screen name says) haha. Praying my blue sway worked and we will finally get to experience having a boy this go round. Praying for all you ladies who did not get the news they wanted to hear at scans, but I know your little ones will be exactly who they are supposed to be. You ladies are all so sweet and funny....looking forward to hearing more of everyone's stories...take care.
A lot of new baby boys to love in this thread. And a lot of great attitudes from their wonderful mothers!! Congrats to all of you on your healthy babies!!
Lol this is like the boy thread!!
I don't know if I'm going to stay here , I'm pretty sure I'll have a boy if i do ;)
Just kidding!!
Congrats on the healthy babies. You are all handling it much better than I will!!
Congratulations, Grace! I'm so sorry that you didn't hear girl, but I agree with the pps that your attitude is fantastic, and I know that this little baby boy will be such a blessing to your family.
Welcome to the thread, 3girls!
Hi 3girls, welcome to our group! Sending all my blue dust to you! Really hope you get your DG, I've got to wait until I'm 19 weeks for my u/s so I know how you feel. Feels like it is taking forever to get here! xx
Yes...for some reason this time it really feels like waiting for the ultrasound is taking forever. I told my husband if we had extra money I would be pulling up on 2 wheels at the elective us place in 2 weeks. He thinks it would be crazy to actually pay extra money to find out a few weeks sooner, but for some reason this time it's really driving me nuts. I handled it much better last time (the wait that is)....and then we finally got to the ultrasound with DD3 and the tech (who has always had the personality equivalent to a rock) said, "Well, I don't see anything different than what I saw the other two times." in a very monotone voice.....Gee thanks lady for the exciting announcement. I don't see how you could see babies through ultrasound and not have some personality...I mean I know it has its sad moments doing that job and I guess they have to remain kind of straight-faced about things, but she could have at least said "It's another girl". Oh, I told my husband if we actually find out we are having a boy this time, I will probably be so shocked I will fall off the ultrasound table...so if you ladies hear a big boom from the east coast at the end of Nov./beg. of Dec. you'll know I fell off the table.:rofl:Quote:
