*sigh* I'm still not feeling so great. I really hate the food options I have as they are all a recipe for weigh gain. All I can eat is some fruit and starches. I can manage a little fat in the form of mayo, but that's it. No vitamins, just folate 800mcg.
DH says I got slimmer from up top and he surely doesn't mind the pregnancy boobs lol. All my tights are actually tight and I'm looking into maternity ones (this early?! I think I just gained weight).
I wonder if DNA has something to do with discomfort levels in early pregnancy? I just can't believe the difference compared to my pregnancy with DD, so I just blame my husband LOL. None of the women in my family really have MS or Nausea, especially not my mom. I'm the only person in my whole family to marry outside of my race, but my ex DH is the same nationality as my current DH so maybe it is just individual.
I just want this phase to be over. I really have it much easier than most (no vomiting), but when my family already has huge dietary restrictions, my food aversions and nausea make it that much worse. I have lost interest in cooking and its affecting everyone. The fatigue really sucks. I wasn't expecting it so early on.
Oh Cosmosis, I hope things turn around soon! That sounds dreadful [emoji20]! I'm hoping it means you have a super healthy, blue bean growing in there!

Cosmos - HUGS. I know the feeling. I am already tired of the constant nausea and my family is certainly suffering. I have a hard time cooking anything for dinner. We had cereal the other night. I just couldn't. Hang in there. The fatigue is supposed to get better in the second tri. I sure hope it does for you!
I misunderstood your post in the earlier thread Amelia! All of my boys implanted on the right. My DS3 was tricky- his was in the middle but a little towards the right. DS1 and DS2 their placentas were on the right, but DS3's placenta was on the left. As you can see, according to both theories he could've easily been a girl, haha!
This baby I ovulated from the left ovary, the baby implanted on the left most side of my uterus, and the placenta is still on the left side.
I wouldn't get too worked up about that and would be more interested in what the nub looks like from 12w6d-13w6d.
FX so hard for you ๐ค๐ป[emoji1317]!!

Gosh that does sound difficult and dreadful for u cosmosis - I haven't been able to make my kids packed lunches luckily my husband has been so helpful this time round as I could literally sleep all day !
If we're all having different pregnancies this hopefully will be a good thing for us all :)

Butterflies- I had my blood drawn today for my NIPT (MaterniT21 Plus) and should have the results either sometime next week at the earliest or most likely the following week (the first week of April).
This is getting so exciting with some of us finding out the gender soon!

Oddly enough the only pregnancy where I didn't have many symptoms and very mild nausea until 7-8 weeks was the last triplet one. You would have thought it would be way worse. We were FLOORED to find out there were 3 in there. So you just never know.
XX - I am so happy for you. I just started crying here a my desk. BTW - this crying thing is getting out of hand. I am crying at everything these days. What the heck.
Me too Shannshaff! I can cry at the drop of a hat! I was reading the news today on my phone, and cried like a baby at a story about a high school boy doing the heimleich maneuver on another boy, saving his life! I also cry at diaper commercials and any time my boys do something sweet (which is all the time!). I can also get frustrated easily too, which I watch by taking deep breaths or waiting 30sec before I respond to something, haha!

Me too! And everything is irritating to me. I have to walk away from the kids because at times everything they do is bugging me. I hope this passes soon or is for a good reason ;) , like girl DNA floating around. :)
XX - is it possible to have a list with names, due dates, swaying and then once gender is revealed what they are having in the top post? I get so confused sometimes.
Yep! Here's hoping this means we will be having girls ๐ค๐ป[emoji1317][emoji175]!!

Update on me (posted on Abundant April TWW too)
Since you ladies have been my sounding board, I am going to update on what the Dr finally said from the U/S report. I am not nearly as confident as they are. They said the Sac measured 5w4d and that since it was so early, that explains not seeing anything. Also, they did see an SCH - so that does explain the bleed. But my question is how could I have "just caught it very early" and got a BFP on 6dpo as they claim. I went in for my scan at 6w and only measured 5w4d. Not much difference, but could mean a lot. I got my fist BFP at 9dop...so there is NO WAY I am off 3 days on ovulation. They schedled a regular OB appointment and just want to go from there. UGH. That appointment is scheduled for 4/10 which puts me at 8w. If they want another scan, it would be another 2 weeks after that for me to be able to get one done without taking time off work and going in without the kids with us. I am just not sure what to do. Thoughts?
I would push for another scan at 8 weeks after your appointment. There is nothing at that appointment that could confirm a viable pregnancy without an ultrasound.
I agree with you and your thoughts on your dates. Food for thought- you could just have a "slow grower" like I did with my DS2. He's a perfectly healthy boy!
FX so hard for you!!

My friends are off visiting the shop that does their custom bows and headbands today. I'm just a little bit jealous.
My morning sickness is down to practically nothing with only a small dose of meds, which is very different than with my boys, so I'm hoping it's a good sign.
XX I saw your nub shot and it's beautiful!
Thank you Fox! The baby was super precious and cute throughout the whole scan [emoji4].
I sure hope you have a pink bean growing in there! When is your scan? Are you going to get a NIPT done? Sorry if this has been asked before- I have a hard time keeping everyone straight sometimes ๐คฃ!

I missed the new forum so here is what I posted last...
Xx So your tech actually believed and in a way encouraged the nub theory? Did you go to a private clinic or your OB/midwife just had your first u/s at 13 weeks? I have yet to meet anyone at the hospital or clinic believe in any of the "theories". That is so exciting she was willing to take a guess and it lined up with what everyone else is thinking according to this theory!! So awesome!! Excited to hear!
Cosmos I am in the exact same boat. So so so tough to cook anything. Just the thought of making a grocery list/meal planning makes me nauseous. My acid reflux has kicked up a knotch too to make things worse. I do not remember such bad nausea and food aversions with the girls. Thankfully I haven't thrown up (with any of my pregnancies) bc I just can't do it. Makes me super anxious/ so praise God for that but the constant nausea/food aversions is getting really old. Almost 10 weeks so praying it eases up so so soon.
Really hope it easys up for you very soon cosmosis.
XX so exicted for you . :FX: this is your little girl sure does look so girly ๐ค
Butterflies when are you getting your results back ? Have been thinking of u xo
Is there anyone on here able to do the list? I wouldnt even know how to start.. heres my details though... swaying girl..6 sons..early scan on 6th april..im 5 weeks 3 days... gosh this is going to be the longest pregnancy ever ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
Faith my Nipt is Tuesday and they said it's a 5 day turnaround so should know quite soon hopefully - I'm so nervous to find out but knowing my luck il get a rubbish nub shot and that will make me even more anxious and my gender scan wouldn't be until may and it's too long for me to wait !
Jules cute little baby there ! I've been studying my 10 weeks scan and it doesn't show much other than skull looks boyish but even the tech said the skull isn't fully formed yet so there still hope !
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Jules adorable little baby!!! Can't believe ull know so soon BB ... my scan at 10 weeks also looked like a boyish skull, I won't pay much heed just yet because the skull isn't formed! Just curious is everyone sleeping more on their rightside or leftside, im more comfortable on my right for some reason. And how is everyone's boobs mine are sore and have got massive already ... 12 wks next Wednesday ๐

My boobs are still so sore I take my bra off at any opportunity haha! Still feeling so sick Aswell could easily throw up right now :(
Wow can't believe you're 12 weeks I've been put back a week so annoying !
I'd say I sleep more on my left side I think xx

My husband disagrees and just said I sleep on my right ! He said I have my back to him all night haha !

Ha ha that's me too BB .. my back to the hubby and he's always giving off I'm ignoring him, I'm just secretly hoping for a back rub ๐

Thanks everyone :) I would be alot more active if I didn't feel like garbage. I even lost interest in being online, which is so not like me LOL!
My boobs are super dense and heavy and my nipples are very sore still. I sleep mostly on my left and my back to DH. He has to tell me so many times each night to face him and I just end up on my left side anyway. I didn't even pay attention until that question was asked here, haha.
Did I update you all on my chiro visit? She said that my upper back was very stiff and not flexible, which made my transitional vertebrae overcompensate plus the relaxin making everything move more. She adjusted my upper/mid back and I felt like I could breathe deeper instantly! It was soooo nice. I've been icing the painful spot once every other day. It is doing MUCH better. I went back yesterday and she adjusted my SI joints yesterday (lower back/hip area) and I just feel alot lighter overall. I'm so glad I went!
7 weeks today & still no vomiting. I started vomiting with both boys at 7weeks & I also vomited with our last pregnancy which ended in miscarriage too so who knows what this week is going to bring. I am still trying to decide about NIPT. It is so expensive in australia - between $400-900 & there are so many to choose from, I just dont know where to begin. Any suggestions? Harmony? Panorama? Nifty? Nest? genea? There are too many options! I dont know where to start. Do you have to ask for gender as a extra or is it included? Thanks!
I had my scan done in maternal fetal medicine at my hospital. They have high resolution machines for high risk pregnancies, in my case, advanced maternal age. Yes, the US tech was familiar with the theory. She said it's based on the anatomy of the tube the sex organs form from. She did say it's not 100% but would be shocked if our baby didn't end up being a girl. That being said, we are still preparing to hear boy.Quote:

Gender is included in the NIPTs. From the ones you listed, I would go with Harmony or Panaorama- those are by far the best for the genetic testing side of these tests.Quote:

No NIPT for me. It's not covered at all, and it's just too much to justify when all I would be looking at would be gender. I have a scan this Thursday at 8 weeks, and then hopefully an NT at 13 weeks.
We should be finding out around the same time! I'll be getting the results of my NIPT next week or the following week! Eek!Quote:

Wow, that's early! They won't schedule my anatomy scan until I'm 18-20 weeks, which is around the first of May. At least we will know the gender before then!Quote:

In the U.K. We have a 12 week scan On the NHS don't know if they do that in other countries ?
But yes only 10 days away it's basically a screening for Down's syndrome and other genetic things - yes il already know so I won't have to be glued to the screen searching for nubs lol!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That is so awesome and exciting!! I really wish we could have another at 13 weeks but I doubt it since everything looked good at 9. That just doesn't work for the placenta, skull or nub theory unfortunately. I doubt we will do any of the blood tests bc I don't think they will be covered. Anyone else sick starting around noon to bed? Napping relieves the nausea, but it hits hard around noon and dinner time til I fall asleep. Thankfully no throwing up still, but man this has been wayyy harder than the girls so feeling pretty confident in this being our last. Keep telling myself two more weeks and hopefully I'll start feeling better.Quote:

I know I've had a lot of pulling/twinge feelings on the right and the u/s tech said I had that cyst from ovulating on that side so perhaps that is why.
Oh, silly me! That's right! We have them done here too between 11-13 weeks. That makes much more sense to me now, haha!Quote:

Hi ladies, hope you're all doing well.
Wonderful news XX, your scan pic looks very promising for pink(not that I know anything about the nub theory lol! but so far pink for you seems to be the overall consensus on here!!
I have my NT scan on Monday..yay! However I will be 11 weeks 2 days at that point so nub shots or any other gender clues will be pointless...am I right?
Yeah nub isn't helpful until you're closer to 13 weeks. At 11 weeks most babies have pretty typically girly nubs.
