Sparkles, why would you already be thinking your sway failed this early on? Hang onto hope. I definitely have moments where I truly fear how I will handle the news if it is not my desired gender, but I don't believe in any of the wives tales so I know that I have to stay hopeful until I have proven results.

Am so anxious like a cat on a hot tin roof, am worrying about the health of the baby and it's gender. Worry is no use it won't change it but I cannot seem to stop myself! XQuote:

It is unfortunate, my insurance only offers the Quad screen :/.
How much has everyone put on now that they are eating normally again? I have put on 1.5kg in a week & I am horrified! I am hoping some of it is fluid but even still thats crazy!
I hope so, we paid privately for the harmony, I just could not sir with the uncertainty xQuote:

Serenity- how is everything going? Haven't heard from you since this so just wanted to check in. Hope things are going well.Quote:

Hi :) yes will definitely be finding out the gender at 18 weeks scan providing baby cooperates lol. I don't have the option of these blood tests where I live in Australia so have a long wait ahead. Currently 9+2 :)Quote:

Bad food aversions too and struggling to find anything that won't make me gag, oh and horrid tastes in my mouth after eating! :( My tastebuds have gone nuts! It's been a struggle coping with the sickness and still having to care for my 4 boys, especially my spirited 2 year old! Praying so much that this one is finally a girl because I can't go through this again :(
Oh mummy, my heart breaks for you knowing your are struggling with morning/all day sickness so much. I can relate. I hope you get the ultrasound and get to see your beautiful baby soon. Hope you feel better soon. Bananas are proving to help me a bit. I have one every day now.
Bananas is helping me to - and lots of cold, full fat dairy, cereal, oatmeal and white bread with butter and cheese.
One of you ladies asked how much we have gained.
I have gained five kilos in one month - going from 49 kilo up to 54. I am back to normal diet, but have a lot if food aversions. For instance I can't take the smell of coffee which I loved before my BFP. I crave cakes but cannot eat candy or drink soda. Crazy

I am loving bananas too :D
I've just started being able to stomach fruit and normal food again, I have no symptoms now, and am enjoying it until they return lol.
GirlieCat ; My midwife said that she thinks instinct of gender is usually right.
I'm not being negative, just feel very boyish - and it's okay now. I am truly excited for the prospect of a mini of my Hubbie.
Then if I'm wrong and it's a girl....well obviously that will be even better.
Also thanks so much for doing that awesome list !
It's so strange that we're mostly all swaying girls hahha
So sorry honey. Mine didn't tell me measurement in cm or mm, just told me it was measuring 7w6d. Did she tell you what the heart rate was? When is your next appointment? These first few months really are nerve racking to not be able to do much but wait and see if baby is healthy enough to stick long term. Praying everything is okay with your baby.Quote:

Since yesterday (7w3d) my nausea has substantially subsided. It's worrying, of course! I can't wait till I can pull out my doppler and get a reliable HB.
Agree with GirlieCat, so worrying waiting to get past this first trimester.Quote:

Thanks Mrs Sparkles and girlie cat. Felt pretty rough today and yesterday so that helps! I've done a lot of googling and it seems early measurements are notoriously unreliable and heartbeat is main thing so fingers crossed. Also there seem to be huge variations in 'normal embryo size at seven weeks' so I suppose it could just be small right now but catch up. I'll just be so gutted if this doesn't work out...

Great list!! Crazy to be 1 of 2 blue swayers!! You ladies can have all my pink dust!Quote:

Once we offically started swaying I was 147 at bfp.
My nausea has subsided immensely since 7wks, and now I want burgers and fries, nachos, pizza, chips... ahh!!!! I don't indulge in all of it, ugh... still not helping with weight gain!!! I can def tell it's all going to my belly already! Ugh. Pregnancy problems :/
So ive started to feel baby move every day now rather than infrequently. It's so amazing 💓
Awww! Isn't that the best feeling <3 How many weeks are you? I can't wait to feel little kicks again! <3Quote:

I broke out in hives a couple of days ago, and went to the Dr yesterday.
He was really concerned, and didn't want to prescribe antihistamines.
He said :
"If you had 3 sons already I would prescribe it, but this is a precious first pregnancy" - My Husband was like 'sons?', and then realised it's a cultural thing.
So I went home and used Calamine lotion, and did oat baths,& witch hazel, but this morning it was even worse and has spread.
Saw the same Dr an hour ago, and he's booked me in for a scan tomorrow to check on the babies progress, if it all looks strong, then he'll put me on Piriton.
What a palava, starting to wonder if I am allergic to pregnancy !
Dreamsister, I had one or two good days but then it came back. I think you do start to get used to the hormones.
Kc- mine started at 5-6 and other than a couple good days, is still going strong and yucky and I am 8.5w.
MrsSparkles, so sorry you are having issues. That was definitely weird of your doc to say. Has this ever happened when you are not pregnant? Known allergies? Maybe google can help. Hope you get some relief and see a strong healthy baby tomorrow.
My sickness started this time about 6 wks im over 11wks now and its definitely easing. I'd isn't get any sickness in my 1st two pregnancies and the last two stopped around 11wks so it should be done soon!

Girlie Cat - never had anything like this before.
He's wondering if I could have the early onset of PuPPP - I had to google it, sounds horrific so please no !
He's an older Indian Gentleman, and he's obviously just of that old school 'Boys are more valuable than girls' mindset.
So weird though, as look at all of us desperate for girls !

Awww that is the perfect family picture !
Love your picture All Blue!
Good luck at your scan today, Sparkles!!
Just curious ladies (boy moms), did y'all lose weight or gain in the 1st tri with your sons? I remember losing weight with my son (I had some weight to lose), and gaining with my girls (I also had weight to gain). Just curious! Also, did you break out a little and did your boobs get bigger or smaller in the first tri, and did you feel like you were starving to death?... I am so tired of googling. I know all pregnancies are different and symptoms don't matter... just appease me, I may never get a scan I can obsess over! haha
Thanks for asking about me, Girliecat.
I'm OK. I still don't have any answers about what's happening with my pregnancy yet, but I have an ultrasound in 40 minutes, so hopefully I'll know something soon. My pregnancy symptoms still feel very extreme to me, and I've gained 22lbs since three weeks ago, so if I'm only having one baby I'll be wanting a medical checkup ASAP to find out why the extreme symptoms and weight gain is happening. I hope I'm healthy. :nails:
Good luck Serenity. I hope you get good news.
Mrs.Sparkles- good luck on your scan today too. Looking forward to good news and maybe a pic of baby.
