Due in March/April/May 2016

I am so excited to join you ladies!!! I've not popped in until today but I love how many names I know :)
I got my bfp yesterday on a drug store brand FRER, and a negative digital FRER brand at 10dpo. This morning 11dpo another positive (dollar store brand this time).
Anyways it's been sinking in all day that in fact I AM pregnant! The disbelief that I caught it on what I was debating to be my last cycle... Just thrilled to pieces! Pink or blue doenst mean a thing anymore!!!

EDD 4/20 haha

Welcome hitme, so pleased you have joined us :)

I have my booking appointment today so will get a date for my nt scan, just the thought of it is making me feel really nervous, I just know I'm going to see a boy nub.

How are things with everybody else? True, I hope your nausea is getting better?

Mandy it is. I am so relieved yet worried at the same time. It started to ease up yesterday afternoon, it was getting a little worse again around lunch time just as DH arrived home with the bands. I popped them on and have been slightly nauseous since but very bearable :fx:
Now keeping the bands hidden is a bigger issue than the nausea :D

Good luck with your booking appointment :)

Aww good luck mandy! Very exciting! What makes you think boy? I got mine in 2 weeks and cant come quick enough!

True i hope it will get easier soon. Not the best feeling :( were your previous pregnancies like that?

I've had a mix Tiff from 2 weeks of nausea to 20 weeks of nausea so hoping this one will be the two week version.

Fingers crossed for you True!! Xx

True, I'm sure everything is well with your little bean, I think even from the womb they like us to know they are the boss, making us think the nausea has gone then it will come back with avengence lol, just to keep us on our toes lol.

Tiff, I think I'm thinking boy just because I don't want to get my hopes up for a girl, would rather be convinced of a boy then maybe have a nice girl surprise. I think as well its because I had two boys in a row but then I was eating a very boy diet when I got pregnant with them. Think its just a defense mechanism really, if I'm convinced boy I wont be as disappointed.

Im totally with you on that. My 2 boys were conceived the same but this one was so much different. But i think like you, i cant think a girl to protect myself.

I started looking at boys names but not girls...my husband told me to think positive and think girl. Which i told him he was crazy but He will be very very disappointed if it will not be the case.

Good luck for your scan today and show us some pics! ;)

Im the same way Mandy. I've VERY set for boys, and I wasn't like a rock solid swayer. I actually call my sway the wishy washy sway lol there's likely nothing measurable about it haha

Did anybody else start feeling symptoms as early as your bfp? I seem to remember being that way with ds4, and im not sure it's all in my head or not but I have tender boobs, slight nausea, especially if I go too long without a snack (and last week zero snacking, and skipping meals! I couldn't dream of doing that now!) and also stiffness in my groin area...
It can't all be in my head lol

Ugh 6 weeks tomorrow and I already feel awful. I'm doing b6 and unisom but it isn't helping much. I just feel so nauseous and sick 24/7. I was really hoping to have a pregnancy with no morning sickness like some women do! I'm also 95% sure this will be boy 3. My sway was barely a sway at the end but I was OK with that.

Oh Junie you totally have my sympathies it's horrible it really is. I know deep down were grateful but it doesn't make it any more tolerable :hugs:

True- I promised myself while TTC that I wouldn't complain about feeling sick and would try to just ignore it (mind over matter type thing) but I'm failing miserably. I just hate feeling awful like this and knowing I'm going to feel this way for weeks. Hugs to you I hope yours is almost over!

I definitely think that for sanity sake you are better off not convincing yourself that you have your DG in there cos if you do that I imagine the disappointment would be more extreme, even tho we will love our babies no matter what the gender.
Why do you feel like you are more set for boys hitme? Have you ever tried swaying before?
I cant say that I feel I'm set for boys really as I got my dd with no swaying at all and things were similar this time to when I conceived her but I still feel I have no hope lol.
I didn't have a scan today sadly but I am booked to have one on the 24th Aug so in ten days time ��

Hi ladies! Just wanted you all to know that I am following you and am so glad you are having good pregnancies (except for the yucky awful horrible morning sickness)! DH and I have decided to drop all swaying except for LE. Plus we are NTNP. We are leaving everything completely in God's hands. So I *may* still yet be in this due date. I guess time will tell!

Just on account that I have 4 and my Dh s siblings all have boys lol
I didn't sway with the others but when you have 4, even swaying might not cut it. It's ok. Im totally ok with it. Im getting older and although I know I'll have slighter than higher hopes at my testing I won't be surprised or even remotely disappointed if I hear boy.

That sucks Junie - I have a feeling mine will be in full force quickly too.
I feel queasy already but it's bc of he constant salivation. Def have lots of symptoms flooding in already.
I hope your ms passes quickly [emoji173]️

Lmao! It took me awhile to eat more and to snack. I still crave the foods I ate while swaying and still pretty much eat what I did while swaying. Obviously I snack and have added meat back in, but I haven't gained much and haven't in 5 weeks [emoji16]. My OB is ok with it and doesn't think I'll put too much more on but this is different for me!

Enjoy eating without weighing the cost benefit ratio and SNACK! I ate cereal like a mad woman after getting my BFP and still snack on cereal and cereal snacks!!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

Cereal was the first in my agenda!!! Hahah! And I made a huge turkey dinner [emoji23][emoji23] but you swayed much longer than I did, and yet I already miss diet coke. I gave that up the second I suspected I was pregnant.

Lol and i swayed for boy an ate so much tht my stomach looks like baloon and i look like 5 months pregnant [emoji23] [emoji3]

Haha I think a lot of us look 5 months pregnant already. I am living in track pants and some jeans that are a bit big that my sister gave me. I'm seriously considering buying some maternity clothing already lol. I have nothing left from the others as DS3 was going to be our last so I need to buy everything again (including baby clothing). Should be fun :)

I've been throwing up today too. I think it's all the extra mucus setting me off as I have a yucky cold too :(. I had forgot how aweful it was. Lucky DH took the afternoon off work to look after me and the boys :). Totally spoilt!
I feel a bit down about my MIL too. The woman can be really mean. DH and I are going to bid on a section at auction we like so we can build our own home and she is just nothing but negative. She's just been going on and on about how I always make bad choices and have budget tastes and never choose anything nice. She constantly compares me to SIL who can do nothing wrong (including producing the perfect PP!). I hope I never turn out anything like her :(

Well I hope all those little babies are growing nicely and all the mummies are getting a break from the morning sickness xx

You guys are lucky eating. I can but i dont feel like much and nothing satisfied me. I dont have the inspiration to cook for dh and boys (tired and nausea comes and goes) 😣

Covered im sorry to hear about your mil. Is your sil her daugther?
Gl bidding on your house. Just think it is your house your way. You are there for your family and not her.
Mine and sil (hb sister) have been irritating me everytime i see them. Lucky i only see them about 1 or 2 a month. We dont have the same way of raising our boys and consequently my boys suffers from it...but appart from that theyvcan be lovely people lol.

You will have a brand new house before baby arrive?

I've also been enjoying cereal and peanut butter! I have quite a craving for coke whereas coffee makes me feel sick so I'm drinking coke still.

I'm drinking coke too Junie. Whatever hits the spot :)

Tiffsal - thank you. Yes SIL is DH's sister, so the daughter of MIL. They have serious champagne tastes. Their kids are in label everything! But they are also in serious debt so I don't see how that's better.
We won't build for a year or 2. We just started our own business last year so we have to be careful and we need to save a bit more so we can build the house we want. Trying not to get too excited though. It's quite a big section so we will have heaps of room for the kids to run around and a small paddock for some animals etc. It will be a better lifestyle for the boys.

Has anyone been buying things for the baby yet? One of the department stores has 40% off nursery this weekend and I'd love to go and get some of the basics but I'm also a bit scared to do it in case something happens.

Covered. It is her daughter that is why. I know how you feel. 😣 but very exciting to get a new house!

I started to buy neutral things u see in sale at the moment. Boy or girl it will be hard to use my boy's clothes because they were winter babies and this one will be a summer...thats the escuse to buy anyway 😊😊

Has anyone been feeling pickles at 10pm? Or sour thibgs late at night?

Covered that sucks about your mil she sounds like such a treat.

Tiffsal - allll I wanted with ds 4 was sour stuff. Pickles, cucumbers in plain white vinegar, lemon water, and sir candies. It's the only way I was able to survive.

Hitme was that only with ds4? Ive never had with my other 2ds and every now and then ill be craving sour stuff before going to bed....

I know it's not a sign of gender ;) I think I actually did crave it with ds3 too, but I was way sicker so I ended up eating boring old crackers a lot. But with my first 2 boys I think all I wanted was dairy. Ice cream and yogurt. Every pregnancy is different!
