I still have good days like today but it's already 11 and I feel exhausted. Like my normal daily activities are making me sooo tired. Plus not being able to have coffee help me through sucks. I feel bad too! I don't have the option to always be lazy because of work and because I watch my 1 year old while my husband works. I can't wait until next week when My family is in town so I get a real break!
My symptoms are just starting to show up now that I’m 6 weeks. I’ve been more tired and having sleeping issues pretty much since I found out and bad bloating and constipation since then, too. The twinges of nausea started showing up over the weekend, but so far aren’t bad and I haven’t vomited yet. I’ve had HG with some of my past pregnancies, but also had a couple pregnancies with absolutely no symptoms at all.
I'm sure you've experienced it all! That's crazy. Yep now heartburn and back pain is already starting. I'm like isn't this a third trimester thing????? I've had symptoms since my BFP, even a little before. That's part of why I'm convinced it's a girl. I've said so many times when swaying/praying that I knew a girl was going to give me trouble during pregnancy! And I've had lots of people tell me they think it's a girl already. I mean if I have to suffer to have her I willQuote:

We swayed pink so I assume my inadvertent references are due to preference.Quote:

Or maybe it's my uterus already expanding because it knows what to do. Either way, I don't think I could hide it if I tried.Quote:

I know it’s silly but when I was pg with my DS i did a lot of magical thinking... like not wanting to swim under a red flag in the swimmingpool and seeing “signs” telling me the gender. Sounds like Im crazy when reading this myself LOL. I knew the day after conception that I was pregnant and said to my DH:We did it! And it’s a boy! We laughed and he told me not to get my hopes up too much, but i just felt that I was pregnant. I saw blue all around me, always swam in the middle of the lane with swimming and there would always be a blue flag above my head...
Now I find myself looking for signs again as I was almost convinced I wasn’t pg the day I got my bfp. I see pink everywhere... though I know I just want to... LOL
Looking at genderreveals... just imagining myself seeing pink confetti... That would be a dream come true. But I dont want to picture it too often, just to protect myself.
I have been so much more irritable too. With my husband, my son, with everyone really. I feel so bad but I get so frustrated I just break out in tears! I'm not usually like at all. Quite the opposite- I hate confrontation.
I have definitely been irritable! I was blaming being exhausted though. Today has been horrendous nausea wise, particularly since I got in from work. Closest I've been to being sick but I managed to stop myself. I've had a teeny bit of pink spotting this morning and cramps on and off today so just hoping all is OK in there, I'm taking the nausea as a good sign but who knows. I had quite a bit of spotting with my daughter so my sister suggested maybe its how I carry girls but I'm nervous to believe that! (I did have spotting after a bump with one of my boys)
Hope everyone has had a good day [emoji4]

So tomorrow (Friday 10/16) is 7 days since they received my sample (and 9 days from my blood draw!) so I’m crossing EVERYTHING that I’ll get my results tomorrow! [emoji30] I’m going to call Natera again and ask if they can tell me if my sample is still processing or done and/or if they’ve send results to my provider yet. I’ve seen others do this so I’m hoping they can tell me the same.
At the very least, I have my next prenatal appt on Monday the 19th, and I’m sure I’ll find out by then. I just really, really want to be able to tell my parents this weekend! Praying for results tomorrow! [emoji24]

Oh gosh hotlikemexico I can’t imagine the suspense! I can’t wait to hear your news, I have everything crossed for you!
I had my dating scan yesterday and I’m 6 weeks and 3 days today, due date 8th of June. There was only one!! :) and they picked up a little heartbeat 114 bpm and baby was measuring exactly to the day what my LMP calculated so all great news.
Feeling really relieved and happy although I still need to do all the chromosome testing and nuchal scan etc. so far so good :awe:
Is there any truth to the ramzi theory do you know? I’ve never heard of it before this pregnancy but now I’m curious!
I’m starting to get super tired and nausea coming more frequently. I think the fun of the first trimester is here haha!
Checking for hot like Mexico!!!
Cant imagine what you’re going through!! I (!!) even dreamt about you getting your results yesterday (you said GIRL with a little pink bow emoji)Quote:

Oh my gosh [emoji24] that’s so awesome haha! I hope your dream is right! [emoji178][emoji1695] it’s only 920am here in MA which means it’s 620am in California where Natera is. [emoji23] I’m TRYING to hold out until 1pm here, when DS1 has “recess” (hurray for distance learning at home LOL, thanks covid) so that he’ll be downstairs and I can call Natera without him around. 1pm here will be 10am CA time so hopefully by then they can tell me SOMETHING, unless I get lucky and hear from the OB office first, but I’m not holding my breath, lol ...Quote:

Sounds good! It must be a relief to hear that everything was fine and the dates match with everything you took note of! Happy for you:flowerz:
I dont believe the Ramzi theory either, it was wrong for my friend and myself.
Oh wow yeah forgot the time difference! I keep thinking... still nothing?! But it’s 3.30pm over here LOL! So excited for you!!
.
Hotlikemexico- I'm so excited for you! I hope you get your results soon and I hope they're pink! I go get my blood drawn on Tuesday and I don't know long it will take to get results by Halloween Because that's our anniversary! I've been dreaming about my results too and I haven't even gone yet haha.
Hakreug- if I go a day without crying it's a miracle haha. Everything has been making me so emotional lately it's insane. I'm sorry the symptoms haven't been letting up for you. I tried to eat something outside of my two usual meals yesterday and I regretted it. Basically didn't get to sleep till midnight because I was so nauseous.
Flowergirl-I'm so glad you had a good scan!! I don't think there's any truth to ramzi or even if there is it's almost impossible to get an accurate result because of different uterus shapes, different angles of the ultrasound, etc. there's just so much variance.
.

I was wondering, Abifasc how are you doing?
Just a super quick update from me... just got off the phone with Natera and they said my Panorama is still processing. So no results for me today. [emoji20] I have my next prenatal appt on Monday afternoon so hopefully I’ll get the results at my appt... [emoji30]

Flowergirl glad your scan went well! Its also so good to get to that first one and see them!
hakrueg thats a lovely idea to make you big girl a new bedroom! And it means you can play around with the nursery too!
Disneylover I'm feeling the evening nausea, doesn't seem to matter when I eat or what I eat.
HLM gutted for you that there's no results today [emoji17] might be worth checking the portal over the weekend as didn't they update it over the weekend last week?
I realised today its 4 weeks since I got my BFP which seems crazy! 7+3 today, so hopefully only about 4 weeks until our scan!

Can't believe I'm 9 weeks! It's gone by quickly yet somehow also super slow. I just can't wait to hear the confirmation it's a girl, that way I can start to decorate her room. I have a closet full of boy and girl clothes I need to work on sorting too. Ughhh. Getting nervous and excited.

Just wanted to say I'm so excited for everyone! I just love this group. Has anyone had any like "feelings" about a name? We were going to go with winter for a girl. But lately my instinct has been screaming a name starts with an E?? Like Emry, ember, I'm not sure! Also smells are really getting to me today. Like I can smell EVERYTHING and it's making me super nauseous. Like body odor, food, scented trash bags??? It's bad.
Is it wrong to just have smoothies/shakes my whole pregnancy??? ��Hot foods no longer sound good at all.
I love love the name winter for a girl:HH:Quote:

My best friend Lisanne passed away a few years ago so if it is a girl, she will definitely be called Lynn or Liz for the middle name. I always loved the name Lynn. For a boy we have absolutely no clue. With our DS it was a struggle to find one name... plus my parents already have 6 grandsons so a lot of names I like have already been taken LOL
We’ve chosen Elodie.

Beautiful name!Quote:

Yay that's so exciting!! We just redid the boys' room with our tax returns this past spring and got them a bunk bed, they love it! It's so much fun picking out the stuff for their room. :) What theme are you doing for her room / what theme is the nursery?Quote:

I had mentioned that one to DH back in 2016 before we knew that DS2 was a boy... he vetoed it instantly because he "did stuff" with a girl named Ember when he was younger and said that's all he would be able to think of. MEN... lol! :sigh:Quote:

I love the name Evi and that's so sweet to honor your friend like that! :heart:Quote:

I can smell the shampoo on my kids' hair days after it's been washed! Pregnancy nose is wild. I can't look at food I don't like/can't tolerate either... We went out to dinner for our anniversary on Saturday night, DH got filet mignon (his favorite!) and I literally had to look away or put my hand up when he was eating bites! LOL. Just the sight of the beef made a gag rise!Quote:

So, our frontrunner is now Mylene! :heart: It's pronounced like my-LEAN. If anyone's seen the show The Get Down on Netlflix, Mylene Cruz is one of the main characters on the show! It's uncommon, and I loved it from the minute I first heard it. It also flows perfectly with our last name. :) We were unsure on boys, but I happened across another name post on reddit talking about names people came to like from fictional characters, and one of them was Miles -- from Miles Morales on Into the Spiderverse. I mentioned it to DH and he agreed too! It also flows really well with our last name. It's not 100% set it stone, but so far it's the only boy name that we've both really liked and agreed on. I also love that our frontrunners are Mylene and Miles, almost like two different variations of the same name. :)
Crossing ALL of my fingers and toes that we get our Panorama results tomorrow! I don't think my heart can take anymore waiting :nails:
I feel you hotlikemexico!
Been checking my phone all day to see if there is any news. Got fingers and toes crossed for you!
I really like the name Mylene, thought Miles for a boy is gorgeous too!
Hold on, allllmost there!

Ahhhh Elodie was on my list when we had DD, hubs wasn't keen though as he thought it didn't go with our boy's namesQuote:
