I feel seriously sick, I've spent the last 20 mins obsessing over ultrasound pics online so I have a better idea of what I'm looking at tomorrow. I'm trying to convince myself that of course it is a boy and that is perfectly fine, and it isn't such a big deal if I don't have a daughter. Who am I kidding!! :worry:
I'm so scared I'm not going to be able to hide my disappointment if they say it is another boy, and I just feel terrible to even be having these feelings when I am so lucky to have two beautiful children and be pregnant with hopefully another healthy baby. I should be obsessing over whether the baby is ok not whether it is male or female :(
I seriously think this wait would be easier without ever having seen a nub lol. I was blissfully ignorant with my other babies, and the wait for the gender scan seemed long, but it was no where near as difficult mentally.
Please just know that we understand how you feel. :) Every time I spot I remind myself that I should just be happy that the baby seems healthy and has a strong hb. But the gd is still overwhelming.Quote:

What you doing?" over and over, etc. And I just get really abrupt and angry. Like, the rage in this pregnancy is ridiculous. I wasn't nearly as full of rage in my pregnancy with him. Is that just the nature of being pregnant and also being a mother already or could that just be due to differences in different pregnancies?
It makes me feel so bad. :( The weird thing is, my first pregnancy I snapped at my husband a lot in the beginning. This time he hasn't been annoying me at all! It's just the dog and my son! Ahhhh! I want it to stop! :( It just bubbles over (the rage) really easily.
I mean, I'm sure part of it could be that we have come into some serious debt problems and can barely afford food at the moment (my mom has been having to paypal us money every week so we can eat.... all of my accounts - 2 credit cards and my bank account deny any transactions now because I've gone over on all of them, etc) And seriously, about 4 months ago everything was FINE. We were getting some tax credits every week (a UK thing) that helped make up for pay I was losing towards childcare costs so our standard of living was just fine. No issues. Credit cards were being paid down, etc. No big deal. But then we made an error in reporting this year's salaries to them (a BIG error) which led to them saying we make *too* much money and now we owed THEM money and they were stopping the weekly payments. And that was all it took to suddenly send all of my finances spiralling down because those weekly payments helped cover the things I cannot cover now... so then we had to do grocery shops on the credit cards (not ideal!), which were pretty full as we went on a few holidays this year. I had everything in place to pay things off by early next year and now I'm in a position where that is just beyond possible. My bank account is now charging me over £100 each month (which just makes it worse... even LESS money!) because my pay without the tax credits doesn't cover my bills 100%. This all sounds convoluted... sorry... maybe that is where the rage is coming......
We're in the middle of appealing their recent decision to not add the correct sums in and fix the tax credit thing (What the hell? I don't get why they came to that decision!) so we're waiting now to hear back a second time but it could take months. :(
I am so grateful my mother, in the end, bought all of our plane tickets to the US for Christmas/New Years because, seriously... I need to be in the comfort of my family right now so bad.
I didn't mean for this post to turn into this long ramble!
:.) what do you think of it?Quote:

I liked it a lot! Just wish I could have spent a bit more time there. We literally got there like 1 - 2pm and then left by 7pm. Me and my husband's friend was going to LIPA so we went to meet up with him for lunch and for me to have a walk around (American in Liverpool... 'nough said!) In fact, when we went I was pregnant with my son and didn't know it yet. We went on a Saturday and I woke up on Monday feeling like I was going to puke and took a pregnancy test. :PQuote:

Little did I know that it was my last decent meal before I found out I was pregnant and hit with morning sickness. :P
Thanks Shellbelle, your post brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful having you all to understand how horrid GD is. Oh and I haven't had a 12 week scan to obsess over and I'm still in a state! I would probably be worse though if I'd had all girl guesses at a 12 week scan as I'd be terrified the bubble was going to be burst.
Cinss - I think you're right and it probably will be obvious on the scan, my dh saw the boy bits before the tech on both my previous scans and thinks I'm being weird anyway so writing it down isn't really an option unfortunately.
Think I just need to go to bed and try and get a good nights sleep, I'm absolutely shattered today which I'm sure isn't helping my emotions.
Suregena - not sure about being gender related but I am snappy as anything too, I have absolutely no patience with the boys and feel like such a bad mummy. Ds1 even said to me the other day that I was always grumpy, it seems like every little naughty thing they do is magnified so I'm just constantly telling them off and then feeling horrible about it.
I think once I have tomorrow out of the way if it is a girl my mood should be improved 1000% and if it is a boy at least I know what the future holds and I will plan some lovely activities to do with my two boys to spoil them before the baby arrives. xxx
Suregena, it sounds like you are under so much stress that being snippy would be natural. I'm so sorry things are so tough for you and your family right now.
I am trying to ignore it all because I seriously cannot do anything about it except what we are doing (going through an appeals process thing to get them to fix the amounts they have so we can get our tax credits back) but I suppose it's affecting me even when I am not actively thinking about it. :/
So sorry suregena your having such troubles thank god for your mum helping you out.
Mummypink good luck again will be stalking for your pink update :p
Xx
Good luck for tomorrow mummy, we will all be here for you hun!! Have some of my pink dust ....... And most of all enjoy seeing your beautiful baby! We all know exactly how your feeling right now my love gd is such an arse!! Hope u get a good nights sleep, I will be stalking! (i still think its a girl) xxxx
Girls- I'm totally obsessing.... Can you please check this out and let me know what you think. Can the next 13 days please hurry up???
Posted in the ultrasound- section (thank you again ynwa):http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ultr...-obsessed.html
Hey Ladies....been keeping up with the posts but have not posted in a while....had a quick ? for you all. At what point did each of you start feeling your little ones? With my first dd, it was not until around 20 weeks, then around 19 with my second dd, then I know I started feeling my third dd at 16 weeks and some odd days....much earlier. I am now 16 weeks and 4/almost 5 days and have really only felt one definite little flutter that I'm sure was the baby, and that was actually about 5 days ago. I didn't think much about it before this week, bc I knew that was the earliest I've felt my babies, but for the past few days I've spent many occasions lying still trying to feel something, and have felt nothing. I know I'm likely worried for nothing, but I just can't wait to feel the baby so I won't worry. It seems like with my fourth, I would be less concerned about things, but it seems to be the opposite. Yikes!
3girlsinarow: I felt flutters with my first son a couple of days before 16 weeks. With my second I was closer to 14 weeks. This time I definitely felt flutters 3 times at 12 weeks. The flutters are always inconsistent until 20 weeks or so.....then the movements begin happening daily. I wouldn't start to worry until after 21-22 weeks.
3girls do you know where your placenta is? If it is anterior (at the front) you wont be able to feel kicks as early as some just because its in the way. With my DD i think it was around 20 weeks when i could feel her, and nothing so far with this bub.
My placenta is anterior this time and I just now feel a lot of movement, a week ago barely anything. With my first two I felt movement at 14-15 weeks.
Hi 3girls! I felt flutters with this little one at 11 weeks--no lie! I thought maybe it was gas, but the flutters have become a bit stronger and more distinctive over the past couple of weeks. Now, I don't feel it often, maybe once a day for a few seconds. With DS1, I felt first kicks at 14+weeks. Both my babes have posterior placentas, so I guess they're easier to feel? I have two friends who had anterior placentas, and neither one felt any kicks until 18-20 weeks (and they are both very thin). Congrats on your pregnancy! I'm assuming you swayed? :)
Honestly I know it's frustrating but being that the baby is in that position I doubt any nub guess would even be accurate.
Ok, I am officially obsessing over my nub and have 3.5 weeks to go! My pic is tricky due to baby's position but I am getting mostly boy guesses. That said, lovemy4 has said she doesn't think this is a nub shot. Coldwater said that given the position of the baby and that the baby is also turned slightly, it is impossible to give an accurate guess. The tech on babycenter, Turtle told me that this line is the cord insertion point. I know I should believe the "experts" and "tech," but I don't understand why I would get so many boy guesses and why the line I believe to be the nub looks like it is in the same spot as soooo many others. This was much easier b4 those 3 chimed in and I was getting used to the idea of not getting my DD.

I know...I almost wish I never had this picture! I over analyze everything and getting mixed answers does not help that one bit!Quote:

My placenta is anterior this time too :( It was with DS2 but I felt him around 17 weeks from memory.. I hope I still get to feel this lil bubba soon, I dont like using my doppler everyday but until I feel movement I find it comforting to hear bubba's heartbeat. My uterus was retroverted too but thankfully it has tipped forward the last 2 days so hearing the heartbeat doesnt take as long anymore.. My boys heard it today which was really cute. They said they could hear baby moving aswell. Melted my heart, they looked really excited.
Cant wait to hear about the upcoming scans!! Exciting times!!
jheitz that scan is a tricky one hey, It's so hard to tell hun, sorry :(
Hope everyone is well.
jheitz, without knowing anything about the cord insertion point, I would have initially thought it was a boy nub - but then I seem to have trouble spotting boy nubs for some reason, so I'm not much help.
I am hanging out to feel bub move too, I felt my boys pretty early and so am kind of expecting to feel this one in the next couple of weeks hopefully. The sonographer said the placenta was developing at the "back" so I assume that means it won't be in the way of feeling movements.
Tomorrow I will officially be in the second trimester :celebrate: - though my ticker seems to be one day behind on here, or maybe it's because I'm from New Zealand so I'm a day ahead of this website?
Take care everyone!
Thinking of u mummy! Will check bk for news when I drop my boys off at sch! 30mins to go eeekkkk xxx
Stalking......
Hope your out buying pink hun xxx
come on mummy dont keep us in suspense ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hi lovely ladies,
Just back from the scan and it is definitely another boy! I am actually feeling ok at the moment, a bit teary eyed and a lump in my throat but the scan was amazing and the tech was lovely. She took some great pictures which I will try and upload, and although I am sure it will hit me that I'm not ever going to have a daughter at the moment I'm just feeling very lucky to have another healthy little boy.
I was amazed as the placenta is anterior yet I found the heartbeat at 12 weeks and have had movement from then too! She has moved my dates earlier so I am now due on the 13th April so that may explain it.
Now got to seriously start thinking about boy names!! Not looking forward to telling people to be honest, I texted my mum and she sent me back 'hope you're not too disappointed' so I said nope that a girl would have been the icing on the cake but that a healthy boy is also wonderful. x
Awww he looks fab,congrats on a lovely baby boy,xQuote:
