Where??!! I need to see! I can't see them in this forum.
It's ok I found the VERY GIRLIE pictures!!
Okay primal that's beyond cute!!!
Hotdogz yah for seeing baby again, good you are all mentally/ emotionally prepared for a guy but it might still be a wee sister team green is so special I did it with my first. Would love to do it again but I think im going to crack with even the possibility of being able to shop pink not telling anyone else so everyone thinks we are team green :) takes pressure off!!!
I am chuffed with the 13 week scan response but still nervous until I get 100% confirmation.
Hope we all get our girlies!!!! Or DG xxxxx

Oh, I'm actually fine with another boy. Like I said, it's more the swaying stuff. But I'm good with a little guy. I already have my DG and I am aware that it makes me luckier than most and that anything else is a bonus :) I do think that if we have a boy, I would be more likely to be able to convince my husband to go for one more round (which I want regardless of gender), so in some ways, a boy would be great!! Hubby would like another girly.
I bet it's hard to not get excited kitkat. I really, really would be shocked if that is not a girl. At 13 weeks, with that nub, I'd have tons of confidence that you are getting a pink one!! And that is thrilling for you :) I've enjoyed having a girl after two boys, so I certainly wish it for all those hoping for it.
I've finally hit that place where im feeling better! No more nausea, no more extreme tiredness. I am feeling movement here and there. Little thumps off my right hand side. My tech did tell me that baby's head is on my left, so it makes sense that I am feeling thumps on my right. I've been doing a bit of shopping, mostly making an online Amazon list. It's the best I can do without knowing the baby's sex. But it's still been pretty fun. I am gonna make a few things for baby, some girly and some boyish. It's a good thing I am pregnant with a relative and one really good friend. Someone is bound to have what I don't! Although it would be funny if we all had the same sex. (I am actually guessing boys for all three of us).
Thanks Hotdogz that is really reassuring to hear that :)
I am not going to buy anything just yet but even thinking about a possible girl is quite thrilling!!
I too would be cool with a another boy after 2 boys and a girl as boys are pretty freakin awesome! There is just something about baby boys! Major bonus if DH wants to go for #5 too, I am from a family of five kids and its so much fun, two is just way to quiet for me. I would love more but DH only wanted 2 !
Halleuah for no ms you must be stoked!!
Mum - come back and chat!!
I want to know:
DHs reaction
Boys reaction
Your whole families reaction
Have you brought a whole wardrobe and twin boy/ girl outfits??
Over the moon for you!!
Steph good luck for tomorrow honey I got a feeling you got a little lady in there! Update us asap! I will be stalking this thread X

Sometimes I think I'm ok with another boy, other times I think I'll be really disappointed. And I really hope I'm not. It took us 5 years to get pregnant with DS1 & we were told we would never have children biologically. What I keep going back to is back then if someone told me that in 6 years time I would have 3 sons I would have been over the moon. For myself I feel it would be horribly selfish to be anything other than thrilled about having another healthy little boy (I don't think like that about everyone else just about me! I totally get why people yearn for a daughter & grieve when she doesn't come). So I'm nervous whenever I start to feel really hung up on having a girl, especially because I didn't sway particularly strongly.
I'm going to say something I probably never should say on this site...but sometimes it seems like the lighter sways are more successful. If we looked at my two sways, one of them was MUCH stronger than the other one, thus leading me to believe the strong one would produce a girl and the weaker sway would produce a boy. But my weak sway produced a girl. And it's likely my stronger one produced a boy. Lol. Some times it really does come down to luck, I think. (Not that I don't believe in swaying. If we do end up having a fifth, I'll sway again...if this baby is a boy, I'll sway girl. If it's a girl, Ill sway boy).Quote:

Once I got it all out into the sway post I read it over & went "Actually I did pretty good it wasn't as slack as I thought it was." But I guess there's just SO much focus on LE like it's the magic bullet I thought I had really done myself over. But I couldn't do LE I just couldn't I was so unwell on it. Ironic now all I want is vegetarian food & can't stand the sight/smell of meat!!
Yip I did the same primal, I was like im not going to beat myself up over everything little thing I could have done better (Martha) I did a million times more than just DTD so be proud of it!! Xxx

:) Yes Kitkat & I think we will be hearing some confirmed PINK news from you by the looks of those scans, either in 27-ish weeks time if you remain on Team Green or earlier if you give into temptation! :)
Kitkat you totally have a girl in there!!!
I'm feeling nervous about tomorrow, glad it's a secret apart from with you guys, the pressure is pretty bad right now with people's commentary. They mean well but it's not helping. And I don't really have a gut feel either which is annoying, last time I knew it was a boy. This time I really don't know but I've been preparing myself for hearing it. I will update you all of course :)
I think its a great idea Steph and what im planning too , totally takes the pressure off and you can tell people in your own time. Having DH not there is a bonus too hehe!!
Im only saying that cause I know it annoys you he keeps saying "its a boy" !
I really really really hope you hear pink tomorrow honey another gorgeous wee man will be fab too but I think you'll hear pink!
Update us as soon as you find out!
Crossing everything for you XX

Stephk I can't wait to hear the outcome too! Crossing everything cross-able for you. xoxo
Me and DH arent going for a scan together until christmas so it gives me plenty of time to deal with it. He may change his mind and come to the 20 week scan on 4th November but I dont think so. He has eased up on the its a boy comments thankfully, I told him it was upsetting. I have my medical scan on wednesday too to see if there are any further clues after the high risk downs results. I feel so troubled mentally about this, DH would want me to have a termination but he is not the one feeling the baby move etc. Hopefully this is all mental torture for nothing and they will be able to see things that put me at a lower risk. I wont be having any invasive tests, no way.
Can't wait to hear the news tomorrow Steph! I think you have a good chance at hearing girl! And I hope your Wed scan goes well too and that the high risk for down's was just a false alarm. Fingers crossed for good news all around!
Steph im sorry you have to have this extra medical scan but hopefully you will be fully reassured and can relax and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy X
Essence how you feeling?
Sent from my Windows Phone 8S by HTC using Tapatalk
Steph I know there's nothing anyone can say that will truly make it any better until the doctors tell you your baby is healthy BUT, I've had several friends in your situation & all of them the baby has turned out to be absolutely fine. Hugs xoxo
I am only 7 weeks preggo but I feel nauseous all day long. It started a little over a week ago. I remember having morning sickness with my 3 other pregnancies but I would just vomit and then feel better. Yes I gag but no puke. Anyone else having this issue? I am due May 25th.
Steph..goodluck with urn scan am sure u will hear girl :-)

3girls ..a lot of us went through similar yucky feelings...it does get better :-) good luck and congratulations :-)

3girls... Welcome to my world! I've been similar since 6 weeks. Thought it was getting better last week but the weekend was atrocious, I vomited 3 times on Sunday & didn't feel better between at all. Yesterday though was good, & today so far I'm fine (it's only 6:10am so give it time..!!!) feel better soon Hun xx
Steph: Good luck tomorrow (or today, hard to tell with time differences!) I hope you are happily surprised by pink, or that the news of another little man fills you with joy. I'm glad you are getting your scan and having time to process. I think its a good way of doing things.
And 3girls: Yep, I often struggled with dry heaving and being unable to actually bring anything up. I am coming out of it now, I am 17 weeks. But it was pretty rough between 8-15 weeks or so. It hopefully won't last for you too terribly long!
For the record...I could eat my children alive today. They are positively demonic. Not a good Monday in our house. We tried to have fun decorating for Halloween...but it turned into a fighting, breaking things match between the boys and all three have done nothing but screech and scream all day. I am ready for bed. I wanted it to be fun and now I just want to sleep. I have my moments where I wonder why the heck another kid seemed like a good idea?! I mean, all of mine sleep, they all play, it's enough to battle it out with three of them...and here I am having another. (We did want 4-5 kids...but sometimes I just wonder WHY?!)
Oh hotdogz... Dig deep mamma! Xoxo (just quietly it's kinda nice to hear that my boys aren't the only little ferals out there!) 💙💙💙
Not sure if i ever posted in this thread but anyway good luck to u steph! Im sure by now u know the sex of the bsby cant wait 4 the update!!
Hot dogz my boys were having a bad day today too, i have 2 and wonder the same. How am i going to handle 3???? Then i remember everyday isnt like this, its not always this crazy ! Then i feel better
I actually started to have some bleeding today which has concerned me. At first it was just brown spotting, which I was not worried about since I had that with my two other pregnancies, but then it became red and I even passed a small clot. :( Now when I wipe though it's just a little red on the toilet paper so I'm hoping it doesn't start up again. All along I've been scared of having a miscarriage since it seems so common among the girl swayers and I've had very little morning sickness. With both my boys I was vomiting daily by the time I was 5 weeks, and here I am at 6.5 weeks and have only very slight nausea, mostly before bed. My other pregnancies I was dying at this point and had to take meds just to function.Quote:

The OB I decided on doesn't even want to see me for 3 more weeks, even though I said I had bleeding. Soooo..... Not sure what to do. I may call my normal family doctor tomorrow if the bleeding starts up again to see if I can come in for more betas.
So send me all the sticky vibes you can! Hoping everything is ok still, but my lack of symptoms is not helping to ease my mind.
I'm having an odd sort of day. I'm home with my DS2 (3yo) & we're having a lovely day pottering about & watching Mary Poppins (his favourite). I'm not feeling sick today (YAY!!). And yet I'm feeling very sad & sorry for myself, thinking I'll never have a girl boo hoo poor me... I'm thinking of all the things I didn't do in my sway (Martha) which I had really really good reason for not doing at the time but of course now I'm pregnant I'm thinking of all the "woulda-shoulda-coulda" stuff... And it's all pointless, this baby is on it's way & I can't do anything about anything now. And at the same time my logical side is trying to remind my emotional side that I won't mind at all once I meet this baby & that three boys is 3 more babies than I thought I could ever have only a few years ago blah blah blah... Really really annoying & frustrated at myself.
Omg essence ...sending all the sticky vibes along with loads of hugs urn way. I truly hope it's just a one time thing...will b praying for u

Oh essence I'm so sorry, I must have been writing my post as you were posting yours & then I left the forum & didn't see what you had written...... I feel like a massive insensitive jerk. The stickiest of sticky vibes from me honey. Loads of thoughts & prayers xoxox
Many, sticky wishes essence!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you essnce. If you had brown spotting before this might be normal for you? Also it might be normal for this pregnancy to have less nausea. Sending all the sticky vibes.
Primal I have had the exact same feelings, but as you say just grateful to be pregnant and we will deal with whatever outcome.
Oh stephk I feel like a total wanker, essnce's situation has just put it all into perspective. What a sook I was being, I am slightly aghast at myself. Healthy baby is all that matters. The end.
Don't feel like a wanker we have all felt the same I am sure!! I know I have. And felt like a wanker for thinking it too.
Essence honey im sure all is fine I know alot of people that have spotted even bright red blood and gone onto have healthy babies. But if I was you I would want an early scan and be seen by a doc or midwife so deft. call your doc tomorrow if it starts up again! I would also try and rest take the day off work or see if friends can pick kids up from school etc! Thinking of you and sending you sticky vibes!!
Primal honey we have ALL had those feelings and yip I had a TON of them when newly pregnant you can't help pulling apart your sway, over analyzing every symptom , feeling down cause its never you that gets the girl!We all hear you and you were not to know essence was posting at the same time, if you can't have a moan or rant on here where can you!! Xx

Still can't believe it - the sonographer was very confident this baby is a girl! Praying all goes well at tomorrow's appointment, I know it's a scan where they will do extra anatomy checks for downs clues but not sure.
congrats!! x
Well yay for some (tentative) pink news. I too have had friends who have bled bright red during early pregnancy & have gone on to have healthy babes & I truly hope this is the case for you essnce. Thank you Kitkat & stephk for being so understanding. Xx
Congrats Steph! I am betting that a confident tech is very good news for pink!! It's pretty obvious at that stage, at least in my experience :)
Essence, I hope everything is just fine. It's totally not uncommon to spot and even pass clots, especially if you have a hematoma or a particularly touchy cervix. I know tons of mamas who have spotted, and even flat out bled, who go on to have healthy babies. But it must be nerve wracking that no one can really step up to help out your fears. Hopefully some betas will put your mind at ease that things are still progressing well. Try not to panic. Rest and fluids, if possible :)
And primal, don't feel bad. At all. That is why we are here. Everyone has these thoughts, no matter the health of our children or the goings on in others lives. It's just our nature to evaluate and re-evaluate what we did, or didn't do. And, please, don't beat down your sway. I am sure it was perfect for you and remember that it doesn't mean it wasn't enough to get your girl.
I am trying to embrace having a little guy for our likely conclusion. I am feeling pretty done with pregnancy and babies after this one and I just am overwhelmed with the idea of trying again, regardless of gender. I keep reminding myself that I did want another little boy and that I didn't have a sister and I am quite pleased and fine with my life and family make-up. I don't necessarily think my daughter needs a sister either, she is fairly independent and can hold her own in our group right now, so that is helping me realize that she will likely be just fine in a gang of brothers. It's funny how the world gives us these notions of "ideal" though and now that I have brothers and a girl, the next natural "ideal" is to give my daughter a sister. Again, as though I can order it up off a menu.
But, regardless, I know I will adore this baby and really try to appreciate it all. Because I know I'll regret it if I don't enjoy this pregnancy as my last.
(My boys survived the night...it was a close call though. Lol. They are being moderately better today. We might even venture to go get pumpkins. And no, no ones children are the only heathens...no matter how cute or sweet or innocent, all of our kids give us heck at some point or another!)
