TBH I was worried to take it myself thats why its taken me 2 weeks to have my first tablet.. You are right I will have to get through it .. Do you think I could just tell my ob that I am taking them? She may be upset with me if she knows I am not?
You could find out and have a gender party if it's a girl! That's what me and DH are going to do! :)Quote:

How are you going anyway?? Did you have a scan?
I've decided to have 2 gender parties if it is a girl! Since the ultrasound is 2 days before DH birthday I will have a hard time hiding it for a whole week, so I am going to buy strawberry cake mix and white icing for his birthday cake. And then we will make either a cake or a very girly picture frame for my MIL for Mother's Day.
I will post both videos and picture for everyone!
I know how you feel, exactly! I think about all the crazy stuff I did for my sway, and I wonder if I would have gotten a boy easier by just DTD a bunch around O and that's it? I mean that's how I got my son; we did nothing special to have him.Quote:

Yeah But I feel my 12 week scan says different.. If it looked girly then I would be a bit happier! Like if there was a girl nub! What did your 12 week scan look like?? Could you see anything?
I had a scan done at the ER on Sun night, there are pics on my Vitex Time thread or ultrasound thread.Quote:

I was so interested by what I saw in my scan, because I videotaped it and later took a pic, I called the on call doc yesterday and he seemed interested so..
So I will keep everyone updated for sure!
Oh, and we find out the gender if we go at 15 weeks (NEVER have done it before lol)
July 5, we will have DS#1 birthday in July and we were thinking we would not tell anyone and bring a gender cake and stuff along with it.. maybe. That would be easier since DH has a big family.
I didn't get any nub pictures, and I am really not very good with nubs, but I think I saw a girl nub. I hope I am wrong, and I was a little early (11wks 4 days). Still, I felt really strongly that the baby was a girl then, and I haven't been able to shake that feeling. I could be wrong, and I would love it if I am!Quote:

Pinkin, sorry you are feeling so low. I knew you were worried about all the nub guesses and stuff, but the depression does explain a lot. Another good person to talk to about the medication is a pharmacist. Each medication is given a code depending on its safety when taken during pregnancy. Things like paracetamol are considered very safe and then some that are not quite as safe are still considered worth taking by doctors as they think the benefits outweigh the low risk. For example, a friend of mine was put on a medicine for her m/s that was not in the safest category but because she was needing hospitalisation for dehydration, they thought it was worth it.
BTW, your little picture is super cute, and that skull looks very curved and girly to me!
ha ha ha no I meant Hobbermittens!!
My next app with my ob is on the 14th and she does a quick ultrasound so I might ask her to show me the baby!! If she will
I am, yes... I had surprises with my first two kids, but found out DD2 was a girl at 20 weeks and had a horrible pregnancy afterwards because of the GD. I want to try to enjoy the pregnancy this time because it is my last.Quote:

Do you really think bubs skull looks girly?
PP, a friend of mine had a baby girl a few months ago and named her Piper. Very sweet.
I think I am feeling worse today because it is cold and raining here and just not a great start to the day! D/s cant even go outside and play its that wet. Might do some baking with him instead actually... And i am going to have a vegie pastie for lunch I am hanging out for one even went to bed last night thinking about vegie pasties!!
Pinkin, I totally understand the whole meds thing. I agree it is VERY important to look up drug info on your own, too. Definitely check the "pregnancy class" of everything and do your own research so you can feel confident in your choices. I am a huge nerd about being your own advocate and getting as much info as possible!
I was on Strattera for my ADHD before pregnancy and I'm definitely struggling right now without it!
Its hard to get by sometimes isnt it but we have to do it! The gender of this baby is not the reason why I am depressed as I have had it for many years not just depression either! but i think its making it worse atm. Once I have had my scan at 20 weeks and find out I can hopefully move on with it!
I am not going to take them I called d/h and he agreed , he didnt want me taking them anyway
I swaer I can feel the baby move sometimes really low down around my hip area! I am only early so maybe its something else!
pinkin, I am glad you have decided not to take them. I didn't want to say anything b/c everyone is different, and I certainly am not qualified to give medical advice but I had a horrid experience with Effexor and I cringe whenever I hear the name! It caused very strange "nerve" issues with me when I was trying to get off of it, kind of like electrical shock vertigo, really hard to explain and so weird. I've read about others experiencing the same thing; you can google "Effexor electrical shock" or "Effexor brain shivers" to get more info (the clinical term is SSRI discontinuation syndrome, I think). I finally had to take it in slowly decreasing micro-doses to keep it from driving me crazy. Took me several months before I finally weaned. I don't know if it is ok to take during pg and of course you should definitely follow the advice of your doctor, but I will never, ever take them again. That being said, it was a very effective antidepressant!
Here's what I say.. mamma knows.. So if that's what you think and feel it really is, then it probably is. It starts out like a feeling of bubbles or butterflies down there! ;)Quote:

Of course all of this didn't matter in the end because I wasn't actually depressed...just had a huge issue with coping with attention deficit problems! And it was me that figured it out, not a doctor. ;)
Pinkin, I felt baby pretty early too. I still wonder if it's just gas sometimes, haha.
Ribbons It was my life saver when i was taking it! The only thing i noticed with them was if i didnt eat enough before having them i would get really really bad stomach pains .. My d/h is very happy for me not to take them. I am just going to tell my dr i talked it over with my d/h and decided we will try and do it without them for now and see how i go. That is terrible what happened to you but what you are saying I have experienced myself and i never knew what it was only mild case but i know the feeling you are talking about!!!
Butterfly, It feels like little flutters every now and then and its very low down mostly my left hip area when I had my ultrasound thats whre most of baby was aswell! hmm I wounder if it is bubs i can feel
HA HA oh dont talk about GAS!!!! its been the worst this time around i never noticed it with my fisrt!
Yes Pinkin, 6 days to go. I will have my blood test tomorrow. Don't have any time to think or stress about the u/s as we move on Sat. I keep jumping on the computer to avoid packing boxes! I should be at work right now, but I am taking it slowly this morning. Feeling really queasy again...I thought that was over with. My boss is going overseas soon so I will try and tell her about the pg before she goes away. My tummy is so big I am surprised no-one has asked. Probably just being polite.
And yes, the skull looks girly to me!
laughing, YES! That was my problem too!! I self-diagnosed as well, and it was like I was a different person when I finally convinced my doctor to let me try Ritalin! I stopped when I was pg with DS2 and since I haven't gone back to work, I've been able to cope without it... although when I do go back after this next babe (I will go crazy if I am a stay-at-home-mom forever LOL) I will probably get back on it. I wonder if the reaction that we had has anything to do with the ADHD and the fact that we weren't actually depressed?? So interesting!Quote:

And my d/s was 7pound 2 , so not a tiny baby! I am worried i think my tummy is going to really pop out this time and early!!
When i look at my pic there it looks like a girl to me.... HOW STUPID me thinking that!
Have any of you had braxton hicks yet? I have been having them for a while now, and they are annoying! I hate them!
Hugs Aurora - he'll come around. Perhaps having Lilian will help him solve his mommy issues. My Dh also didn't get along well with his mother growing up (she played favorites and preferred his older brother) and was anxious about having dd as well, but now he adores her! He's really gentle with in ways he wasn't with the boys. Hobber's right, there's just something super special about the bond between dads and daughters:HH:.Quote:
