congrats stacey!!!
Please help! I need some at home remedies for ALL DAY nausea!
Oh mydream, still? That has been me in the past but this one has eased up (or the zofran helped it ease up) earlier this time. Just in the past few weeks, esp after I eat, I have been chewing cinnimon gum. It was the last thing I wanted but I gave it a try cause I had no jolly ranchers and it really helped! It may not work with worse nausea but worth a try? I think it gets the stomach acids working, as I feel better when I am in the throws of it when I am actually eating, not before, not after...alas the 20 pound weight gain, ugh!! People don't believe me that I have been so sick as Im so fat lol!!!
I still kinda feel poopy on and off each day but today is the first day without meds and I feel about the same!
Also, I am taking a prescription antacid as I really thought that may be attributing to the nausea, and I feel it has helped a lot! I think it has a lot to do with the digestion being slowed right down somehow!!
does anyone think the babys heart rate can tell the sex of the baby? x
No, DD1 was always high in the 160's DD2 was in the 130's and now I am having a boy and he started off at 180Quote:

iv convinced my self im having another baby girl lol x
I convinced myself I was having another girl too, until the ultrasound tech proved me wrong :)Quote:

Bub is moving - a LOT - I am constantly feeling tiny kicks and punches, it's lovely!
No more morning sickness - just can't eat eggs (they make me gag) and I have no appetite for anything else. Still gaining weight on target though.. I eating a ton of greek yogurt and whole milk.
I found out that I missed the testing window for the nuchal translucency testing ultrasound, and we opted not to do the later test (blood draw) because the accuracy on that test is lower, and if they found something I wouldn't opt for amnio because of the risks. So we are going blind and hoping everything is ok... I keep telling myself that prenatal testing has only been around for the past 15-20 years or so, and there have been billions of women who have had healthy children without the help of any testing! I am nervous, esp. since I already have one special-needs child - autism, which they can't test for anyway, but still - I don't know what I will do if this one has special needs too. So I am having to dig deep and go on faith that everything is going to be ok.
Find out the gender on Sept 12th - counting down the days, can't wait! I have a deep-down gut feeling that it's a girl but I don't want to be wrong, so I'm telling everyone (and trying to convince myself) that it's a boy :)
Kiesse, Congrats on the sweet little Prince, he will be HANDSOME! :diaper:
Try sucking on old fashioned lemon drops! Those did help me.Quote:

Hi everyone, some of you will remember me, others won't. I haven't been on here for a long time. But I had my 20 week scan today so thought I'd pop in and tell you the results and post my sway, for those that are interested.
Well, it's a GIRL!:running:All that hard work paid off! I'm very excited but it all kind of feels surreal still. Hope you are all going well with your pregnancies. Much love x
aw thank you for looking :) yeah iv had 100% boy guesses on it but as we have 3 girls already we are just convinced it be our 4th girl lol x
Yay Lala. Great news!!! Congrats!
Congrats on your girl Lala!
Congrats Lala! Great news! :)
A friend just suggested this too. I tried it..they are working a bit...and lemon ice is working too. Thanks!Quote:

im due jan9th xxxx
Congratulations Lala !!!http://www.picgifs.com/glitter-graph...gns-881549.gif
I am 17 weeks today, my due date is January 30th (My birthday!) I have C-sections, so I get to choose if I want to have it on the 25th or 29th.....kind of fun :) My nausea is almost gone, and I am starting to get anxious about our U/S in 2 weeks. My head says a boy makes sense, we have more boy toys/clothes and the baby will be closer in age to our 5 year old. My heart says a girl would be awesome, we have a daughter who will be 11 when the baby is born, and she doesn't like being the only daughter :( With our other children we didn't find out the sex until they were born, so I don't know why I can't even wait until 19 weeks to find out if this is a boy or a girl! I am so impatient!!!!! I am new to this site, but am excited to be a part of it :cool:
Thanks pink carol, I definitely won't do amnio. Unfortunately, Maternity21 isn't available where I am (at least that is what two doctors have told me) and I opted not to get the regular blood test, b/c it isn't as accurate as I would like - and if they did find something, they would want to do an amnio. And what if it turns out to be nothing? Not going down that road. So, no testing for me.Quote:

Sequenom is shipping the kit info to my OB and I will pay Sequenom directly for my test. I think the cutoff is 21 weeks, I'll be 20 weeks by the time I get blood drawn. A little late in the game... but better late than never right? It will be good to have the peace of mind, although I'm sure that everything will be fine. I didn't know that they also can see the gender with that test!! Of course, since my U/S is in two weeks, and the test takes two weeks to get results back, it won't really tell me anything I don't already know :)
:DD:I decided I couldn't wait any longer! I bumped up my U/S to tomorrow, I will be 18 weeks, 2 days instead of 19 weeks. I have my fingers crossed we are able to see what we need to see! I still would like this baby to be a girl, but I am appreciating my boys a little more every day. If it is a boy, the hardest part will be telling my 10 year old. She loves her brothers, but really wants a sister :DD:. Wish me luck, fingers crossed! And don't worry about your family, their job is to love any baby, regardless of sex, right? My first 2 were 15 months apart and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I realized how much I was capable of, I survived, you will do great!Quote:

Could you look at my nub shot and see what you think? (LInk is in my sig) I would greatly appreciate anyone's opinion! Thanks!Quote:
