Yeah, mine is on Feb 28, and I am already wondering how to ask for a nub shot. They will definately NOT know what I'm talking about.. lol. Doc told me he can't tell gender before 18 or 19 weeks. Lol, can't possibly wait so long!Quote:

You guys crack me up.
Wait until they are almost finished and then ask politely if they could run their magic wand over the genital area. Say you have a bunch of friends who are obsessed with guessing gender from first scans based on what's down below and would they humour you and get a shot.
Most will say yes. Occasionally you get one that says no.
It's nothing to be embaressed about.
My 12 wk scan is in less than a week now (Monday 18th). The sonographer promised to have a go at predicting the gender. I am so excited but also worried its the opposite. I wonder how will I react. How are you ladies preparing for the fact it could be the opposite?
I think I'll be fine either way, I love having little girls. It's DH who will have gender disappointment.Quote:

No sickness, no smell sensitivity, no sore breasts. I'm more sleepy than usual but that's a pretty vague symptom especially given I've three young daughters (and Miss DD3 has been annoyingly wakeful). I hope everything's OK. I've no bleeding or cramps or anything serious but I feel so "normal" it's hard to imagine that there's really something in there!
Ugh I feel so sick but never throw up! I also feel lazy! Because I've been so sick I've lost 2 lbs but I still feel like I look like I've been eating too many donuts! This is the beginning of that awkward stage where you don't look pregnant yet and you just feel fat! I started really showing at 10 weeks with my last pregnancy so if that's the case this time then I only have 3 weeks left in this awkward stage
OMG, I got a real bump at about 7weeks!! Seriously, I look 5 months pregnant already and Im not joking! I have always popped out super early and this time even earlier!Quote:

I know its easy to say all this now, as there is still hope this is a girl.... lol May be harder to swallow my own words when Im actually presented with the news though!
ok, quick question.
warning TMI:
Today Ive had an upset tummy. Have had diarrhea and its not going away. I dont feel like vomiting (well no more so than usual at the moment with ms) and I dont have a fever.
Im thinking its something I ate, but then I havent eaten anything else than what my husband has eaten and he is fine. The only thing I have had which he hasnt is a few cookies from subway (I didnt have any subway sandwich - just the choc chip cookies) Im SUPER careful with what I eat whilst pregnant and prepare all my food correctly. I cant see how its the cookies?? But Im worried something may have harmed the baby... I know paranoid!! Im no less paranoid on the 4th pregnancy as I was on the 1st.
I go for a quick little scan at work tomorrow so will hopefully see a lovely healthy 10 week old baby! Has anyone ever had unexplained diarrhea in pregnancy??
Could be the cookie... The make them so maybe bad batter or they are old... Hopefully it passes in the next couple hours
12 week scan 27 feb, seems to have dragged so much both boys such surprise only had to wait 6 weeks for the scan knowing from day o makes the wait seem like forever!
Gender scan booked 29 march
My 12 weeks scan is also Monday 18th. I don't expect to see anything as I never have been able to on any of the others but it would be nice.Quote:

I already have three amazing girls. I want to know what a son is like.
i had it for the first 6 weeks i was preggie which was odd, now annoyed as normal preggie service resumed and i'm back the other way ;-SQuote:

Good luck with your scan luvalittleman, I hope you see a boy thing there! Let us know how you get on.
Thats my worry too!Quote:

Ugh I shouldn't have....however this is the first time in any of my pregnancies that I have felt that I MIGHT be carrying a girl.... I pretty much knew from the very beginning with all 3 that I was having a boy, this time I don't feel that certainty....I try and convince myself it's a boy to protect myself, and I really do feel like I am at a place that I am ok with 4 boys, but that doesn't mean that I don't REALLY REALLY WANT A GIRL.....I just hate that I allowed myself to be weak and look at all that cute girl bedding :(
Thanks, bit worried as my tummy is very flat this morning and I usually have a rather big bump... Going for a scan today so hopefully its all ok....Quote:

My first OB appt is next week so Im hoping given my history I can finagle and ultrasound at my second appt at 13 wks!
Ok, grizzle alert:
Just found out a friend just had a little girl today. Im happy for her, but cant help to feel a stab of jealousy. I dont know what Im having, but the thought of it being another boy is getting me down a bit today. Normally I feel ok about the fact it may (and most probably will be) a boy, but it just feels like a little pang every time I see someone I know have a little girl.... Ok, rant over!
urgh, feeling really rough today :-& all because I ate a HUGE amount of chip shop chips last night
Ugh I have been feeling so sick lately, I have now lost 5 lbs so I've lost the little I gained in the first 5 weeks! I can't move, the thought of food makes me want to vomit. The only thing I can stomach is ice water and ice-cream. I've never suffered from morning sickness, so this is all new :( I'm not really throwing up much, just super nauseated! I'm bummed that I am feeling sick today because it is Valentines day, and for the last 8 years I have made my husband chicken cordon bleu with mornay sauce on a rice pilaf and steamed veggies with a white chocolate cake topped with whipped cream and fresh raspberry sauce for dinner, and I just know I wont be able to do that today :( my house is a complete wreck because I haven't been able to tend to my daily chores either, wow this is gonna be a lame Valentines Day! I am afraid to take any morning sickness meds so I am just gonna have to push through this.
Geez I forgot to take my diclectin last night FML! Thorz if you are feeling sick all the time get something! Diclectin is class A... I was just really sleepy for the first 5 days
The 12 week u/s is to check for neural tube defects like downs and tris 13 ... I only get it cause I want to see the baby I would def never terminate because of a disability everyone should get their fighting chance at life...
What is everyone's intuition telling about the sex? My intuition is trying to tell me girl but I keep shutting it up lol I do t want to trust it! The only reason I think girl is cause I was literally never sick with any three of my boys and never had any food aversions with them and this pregnancy I am sick every day and I basically hate everything which I am normall someone who loves to eat! And I am now forcing myself to eat!
I am also the biggest bitch lol and with the boys I hate to admit it but I was quite weepy...
I think my morning sickness might be starting to fade a bit now! :D
How's everyone feeling as we approach trimester two? I only have about two weeks left!
OMG I could have written this myself, I feel the exact same way.... I feel deep down it might be a girl but I keep trying to shut that feeling down because I don't want to get hurt. With ALL 3 of my boys (especially DS3) I knew it was a boy and didn't even allow myself to entertain the thought of a girl. This time I feel like it might just be a girl but then I quickly dismiss that thought to protect myself. I NEVER got ms with my boys and now I have it pretty bad. My cravings and aversions are out of control and have been since day 1, with my boys I had a few cravings later on in pregnancy but they were always pot roast and potatoes (I do not eat red meat normally) with this pregnancy I first craved root beer, now I cant stand the thought of it, then boiled eggs, now they sound gross, then my craving went to salads and veggies, now I don't care much for them. Right now, if I can eat at all, I want oranges, fresh pineapple, or grapefruit. Ugh I can't keep up with these cravings, I'll eat them and only them for like a week then I wont be able to stomach them again. So far this pregnancy is developing much much differently than my other 3 which were the exact same. If I am being totally honest with myself, I think this is a girl, it is just too hard to admit it to anyone! So when the subject comes up, I know I will tell everyone that I think its a boy!Quote:

I feel with you. I was holding a tiny baby girl today and her mum was beaming with happiness (she already has a boy). She was so sweet and it felt so great to hold her but at the same time it made me sad that I might not ever have that.Quote:

I feel bad for my kids too cause I'm so short fused but it really comes in handy for telemarketers they no longer phone lmfao
My cravings this time and I don't know if it's just cause I'm not eating very good I'm having lots of days wanting milkshakes, icecream (I HATE icecream and milkshakes HATE) and I'm liking apples and strawberries I'm usually a very savory eater with my first two boys I was craving vinager before Bfp lol people thought I was crazy with my second I had a bit of a phase with cherry coke and I'm in Canada where there is no cherry coke :( so my dad paid some transport truck driver to get me some lol
Are you finding out the sex Thorz?
Yes I am for sure finding out the sex because I need time to cope with any GD. I don't want the first moments with my son to be GD and I know if I wait and do the surprise thing, If I hear the words "its a BOY" then the first thing I will feel is sadness, and I don't think that is fair to the baby and I would feel terrible, so it is best for me to find out now and have time to cope with any GD, I truly feel like I will be ok with 4 boys but I know I will need time to mourn the loss of my chances at having my little daughter so I need to do that before the baby comes so we can love and bond with one another.
I know I will be fine with another boy as well but it would be givin up the dream of having a daughter and I think finding out its a boy at birth will sting a bit so I think it's best to find out during pregnancy just so I can get excited for him....
Sorry you aren't feeling well but if I remember right you did want MS right? I have had it really bad with all my PG. Somethings that might give you relief are fresh lemon juice in your water (this really helps), vinegar based foods (like olives and pickles, I even drink the pickle juice and feel fantastic), ginger root in a capsule (get this from a real deal heath food store and make sure it is only the root and not the extract), an all protein breakfast (right now I am having scrambled eggs with ham and cheese). These are just some tricks that have really worked for me over the years. I have found the less I eat the better I feel so I try to just have small high protein snacks all day long. Hope this is a good sign for you that it might be a girl!! Also, B6 and magnesium have given some people relief. I also read somewhere that if you are deficient in a particular vitamin that you will have MS with a girl but not sure if that is true.Quote:

So my morning sickness lifted last night and now today, I feel like I'm eating everything in sight just to make up for the last week! I don't know when or if it will come back again so I'm livin it up now! Chinese food last night for valentines day and two big cheesy bean burritos for lunch, not to mention all the candy I've been munching on!!
mine went away almost completley for 4 days a few weeks back i think when i was 7 weeks it came roaring back lol
fingers crossed that yours is gone tho!!!
That is usually how it goes. You will feel good/better for a day or two then feel really crappy for a couple of days. I have always thought it might be your body adjusting to the new levels of hormones. Hope you continue to feel better!Quote:
