Yay, new thread!

Had an annoying interaction with someone today. She was clearly pregnant and had a son and DD was playing with him. The mom asked if she was my only and I mentioned I was pregnant and she seemed surprised and asked when. It turned out she was only a month ahead of me, but even another mom was surprised I was pregnant too. The preggo mom then went, "Oh well we're having another boy, so that's why I'm all out front. I always wonder if we had a girl if I'd be flatter too." And gestured to my stomach, as if assuming it must be a girl. Which I can't let go of now.

I KNOW how you carry is an OWT, and I remember so many people thought DD was a girl because I was "all baby in front" -- but I DO get self conscious because my SIL (the only one who thought DD would be a girl) thought I carried like I was having a girl around 6 months -- and honestly, I thought this woman today was having a boy even from just seeing her bump from afar. :(

It's set off a lot of really bad GD. So much so that I've even thought, "I wish I had found out early so I could have not had another girl." Like this is the most triggered I've been, maybe because it's the first implied girl guess? And i was certainly was right about her by bump alone :/

I’m so sorry, ya know it never ceases to amaze me what people will say... I’m pretty sure I’m carrying this one in my hips and butt... my muscle tone is absolutely terrible and always has been, which I 100% believe determines bump shape and size.

I should clarify I’m just huge. My stomach is huge. I could tell people I’m due any day and no one would question it. I’m totally like a turtle on its back every time I get up lol and it’s a girl

Right? And truly I felt empathy because other things she said totally made me think she had her own GD -- but her trying to throw it on me is so shitty. And I read that it IS muscle tone and body shape so I'm frustrated that this has taken over as my latest OWT to obsess over. And I am SURE you are not as big as you think. I think we get practically dysmorphic when we're pregnant because it's such a sudden, temporary change. I looked up pics of me when I was the same gestation with DD and can't believe I thought I looked pregnant -- I really didn't look it at all! Our eyes can be so deceiving once our bodies start changing!

Doesn’t mean crap. I was carrying my girl high and gained weight every where. Brads cousin was also carrying a girl beach ball belly gained weight no where else. We were due a week a part.

Thank you! I need so many reminders. My other SIL had a girl when I had DD and hers was like this low baskeball just in front -- then her second girl she gained everywhere. A cousin had a boy for her first and a girl for her second and she was just swollen everywhere with not really a discernible bump so much as just a really round and wide front for both?

I know better. I wish I didn't let these comments or OWT
get to me.

Yea once I again I think that whole thing is just crap. Your body carries a baby the way it knows how to carry it - that's all.

At the risk of being your second annoying interaction today (and I really don't mean to & I know you know I mean well), you're just going to drive yourself completely crazy the rest of the pregnancy by focusing so much on these OWT (as well as the comments from everyone around you) that really, really have no basis in fact. And I know we all do it - I've Googled just about every pregnancy symptom in the book I think & not one of them have I ever found a clear correlation to gender. Every single one you see some people saying they had it with boys, some with girls, some with both, some with neither. Heck as far as the being more sick with girls thing, I'm no more sick this pregnancy than I was with my boys, and I'm not just carrying a girl, I'm carrying TWINS! By that OWT and just the fact that twins are supposed to make you sicker, my head should have been stuck in a toilet this whole pregnancy so far! I've had quite a bit of nausea this time but have actually thrown up a LOT less than I did with the boys. As such, I'm gaining weight WAAAAAY faster than with my boys (in fact I gained no weight in the first trimester with them - even lost weight with DS1), and like Pretty I feel huge! I've gained probably 10 lbs already and my thighs and stomach just feel BLECH. But, I lost 50 lbs over my 1 year+ swaying and was at my lowest adult weight ever when I got pregnant so that probably affects my perception too. I'm still at a lower weight than I've been most of my adult life. But like you kind of said above our own perceptions get distorted sometimes by different factors.

I often wonder if with all the worry you're going through about all these things if you wouldn't be better off finding out the gender, but I know you've said you're more worried about your reactions/emotions if you found out it was girl and the effect on the rest of the pregnancy. So I get that and know you're doing what's best for you, and I wont pressure you to change your mind! I just wish there was a way you could - if you aren't finding out - be able to find more peace with the pregnancy without all these things getting to you so much! And again - I mean that in the nicest way... I just hate to see you so stressed so much! It's such a difficult place to be in I know. I was a full on wreck the night we opened the NIPT report and honestly couldn't decide if I wanted to know or not. I wanted to know so much but ONLY if I could know there was at least one girl and if there wasn't, I didn't want to know at all - ever! LOL! Such a weird range of emotions!

I'm still sayin' let's just all pray/keep our fingers crossed that you get an accidental penis shot on the day of your anatomy scan! That would be AMAZING! :)

No way are you an annoying interaction, I ♡ you!! And man, trust me -- I won't survive this pregnancy if its confirmed girl. I am actually so much less stressed this pregnancy by being purposely ignorant of gender -- you all are just my only place to rant about anything gender related! I think it was just such a rudeish thing for her to say/
project it just... triggered me!

I am already feeling better again, and silly me is blaming Mercury in retrograde for the whole convo in the first place lol!

But let's all pray for penis! haha

My sister didn't find out with either of her pregnancies. Her first, based on bump, OWT, all pointed to girl and he is ALL boy. I've been right with both of her pregnancies. Her second she had all the OWT pointing to boy, guess what she had? Girl.

I have googled every syptom, like Abc said, and nothing is common in pregnancy or we would all be able to know right away (wouldn't that be awesome, though?)

We drive ourselves crazy, but GD is a real thing and it's always good to acknowledge and not shy away from such a taboo topic. To me, I am hoping for a girl because I have a little boy. I have five nephews. But husband doesn't understand GD and says he will be happy either way but I have already warned him I will be upset and he needs to allow me my time to grieve and move on.

I have basically had to put blinders on with this pregnancy and focus on myself and walk away or change the subject when it comes to gender. I find ways to dance around the topic, because until I know for sure I don't want to play "what if". Sorry, TP. I don't feel like I havs very much advice to give other than we all understand and you just have to work it out however it works for you.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised! [emoji4] TP! I’m excited for all these little babies! Just wish Emmalyn got to stay little when they arrived! Wish they’d get to stay little a little while longer.

Aww I ❤️ you too TP! And this is definitely a safe & supportive place to rant! I just worry sometimes from your posts that this stuff is just totally eating you alive! I’m glad it’s actually keeping more relaxed not knowing.

And I forgot to say before but I agree she probably was projecting bc if her own GD. As you know from here most women it seems want girls, or at least a girl. And I’d guess a large % of those who do want that feel tremendous GD finding out their 2nd is also a boy. She probably felt a ton of jealousy seeing your DD, knowing she’s currently carrying another boy! I know I felt it with moms of girls when I was carrying DS2!

Since we're on a new thread just checking in... Everyone doing well? Any ultrasounds coming up or anyone finding out gender soon??

I really want to have an ultrasound soon to confirm these bubs genders! I know NIPTs are super accurate - the only reason I worry a little is because Panorama is the only company that can test gender for both twins, and it seems they only have been able to do that within the past maybe 6-9 months or so. So since it's so "new" I wonder about how accurate their gender testing is for twins at this point. Since they claim they can distinguish each baby's DNA from each other my guess is it's accurate... But I'd feel much happier seeing it on an ultrasound :) Anyways I don't know when I can do that though - I think my doc will do a quick ultrasound in 3 weeks but I'm guessing the machine that will be used is their portable one that's not real clear/high def so I don't know if he'll be able to see the "stuff" or not. I've thought about going for a private scan sooner than that but I feel like that's kind of ridiculous with the NIPT and all the other ultrasounds I have to do anyways b/c of it being twins. And when I mentioned it to DH he was like "Um, no". But I'm impatient! My doc is great so maybe if I beg him to let me do an ultrasound on their nice machine next appointment to see the genders he'll say OK! LOL. I asked him this week if he thought the NIPT was going to be right and he's like "Eh, I don't know - I assume so!" I told him I wont believe we actually made a girl until I see proof!! :)

I’ve gained over 30 pounds, and started at 100 and am barely 5 feet tall :hide:
My poor husband is so scared because the weight thing has truly depressed me...

GD is such a beast, and it’s so unfair that we have these strong deep emotions while on the pregnancy roller coaster. We women just can’t catch a break sometimes!

ABC I hear ya!! I was so relieved to see a very girl nub on my last scan!!! Those NIPT are pretty darn accurate, but I felt the same way!

And I’m betting that even though they’ve only offered the twin testing for a few months, the company has been doing trials and testing for years!

TP I completely understand why that interaction annoyed you. Besides anything it's totally inappropriate to comment on the size of someone's bump. I remember with DS1 literally having someone comment that I didn't look at all pregnant and was I sure the baby was ok, and someone else going- woah are you sure it isn't twins on the exact same day! With DS2 everyone told me I was having a girl because of how I was carrying. I know it's hard to not let the OWT get to you. Just keep telling yourself there are just as many people that the OWT are wrong for as there are that they're correct.

Abc thanks for starting the new thread! I really wouldn't worry about the panorama not being accurate. It may have only been available for a short amount of time but would have years of research and testing before it was open to the public. Totally understand that you want to see the babies and their genders clearly for yourself! Even at my ultrasound when the technician asked me if I was going to find out the gender and I told her I knew it was a girl and she responded with- oh yes I could see that is such a clear girly nub. I was so happy to hear that. Technically they aren't allowed to say here but I think because I knew and it wasn't an educated guess that she could say that.

In good news is went for my MRI this morning and just got a call that it came back all clear! So now going back to celebrating!
Even though numerous Doctors assured me the MRI is safe I'm still a little upset I had to have it while pregnant. Especially since as I suspected it was a bit of an overreaction. But I did ask on a local fb forum if any other moms had one while pregnant and lots of people had and said their babies were fine. During the scan I thought it was really loud though... was then worried about it effecting babies hearing. So that was the first thing I googled in the changing room after and it looks like alot of people have had that concern and it is fine.
So happy now that scare is over and i can be excited about the pregnancy again!
Thanks everyone

Oh my goodness so glad to hear that!!! Such a relief!!! It does sound like your OB overreacted a bit, but at least you know all is ok now!!! And I’m sure baby will be ok!!

Hi ladies! Just crashing in to see if anyone has heard from kittendreams via pm maybe? Just hoping she's doing ok...

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

TP I’ve carried exactly the same for both my pregnancies (boy and girl) so it really means nothing at all. I must say with my second I popped out quicker because my stomach muscles are shot to hell �� I’d take it as a compliment you have great stomach muscles!

Thank you ladies! You've all helped me feel so much better ♡ And Girlsway, I did take it as a compliment too until that other woman's comments, which I feel shows how powerful my GD is haha -- a few years ago, I would have been ecstatic. Now I want to look pregnant, especially if it seems boy haha!

simkan, I am SO happy to hear and don't worry about the noise! Baby's hearing is still cushioned and they're early enough that it's not going to harm anything! Planes can get about as loud as those too and people travel late into pregnancy all the time with no effects on hearing!

So do they suspect it was poop?! I'd be a little annoyed for the whole process over something like that! When I was pregnant with DD, my midwives were SO concerned about her hart because I have the absolute smallest murmur (like, it's so small it literally has 0 impact on anything according to cardiologist!). They made me get a (VERY EXPENSIVE) fetal echo for her, which was all fine. The pediatric cardiologist then said what I have is something that doesn't close up in the heart until the months after birth anyway!

@pbn: I was just thinking about her :( I figured she is working through the hard emotions. kittendreams, I hope you're still around and know we're all here for you ♡♡♡

Thanks for starting a new thread ABC. Could you please add me to the due date list when you get a chance? I'm due March 31st. Swayed yellow, hoping pink, sticking with team green :)

Glad everything is going well for everyone. So exciting seeing the scans, it makes it a lot more real!! I won't be given a scan til at least mid Sept so trying to put it out of my head or at least living through you ladies while I wait lol!!

I bit the bullet and told my parents and sister this week. In a very surprising turn of events they were all very positive about the pregnancy!! So my anxiety was for naught lol.

I'm 5+5 today and it seems to be crawling. I kinda feel like every day I am waiting on morning sickness to kick in. I'm not super tired like on my previous pregnancies and other than a little cramping here and there I mostly forget I'm pregnant at all. I'd love to make it to 12 weeks without a lot of pregnancy signs but mostly please let me not get sick!!

TP they didn't specify, they just said it was clear now... so yeah poop. I am a little annoyed that they put me through that over something that is supposed to be in your bowel! And our insurance only covers the MRI if the results show that I need an operation. That insurance plan was my husbands idea and he's learnt a very harsh lesson having to fork out $1500. He's agreed we should up our plan to the next tier that would cover checks. We could have gone public but my OB made it sound so urgent that I didn't want wait for the process of it taking a month or so to be seen.

And also they're making me get an echo for this baby too because my second had a large nuchal fold. And in the end doesn't even have a heart condition. He was born without a spleen. There are something like under 100 cases world wide of children being born without spleens so let's just say it's not something I'm concerned about this time. But they want me to have an echo and to check for a spleen. I think it's ludicrous when everything is showing up fine so far.

Hooper I'm so happy that your worries were for nothing. It's so wonderful when family are excited too!

I had terrible GD during and after my pregnancy with DS2. I mean, for years if I walked by the baby girl section a wave of nausea would wash over me. I feel a sharp pain in my heart and my shoulders would literally ache like there was a load of stones on them. It would be a struggle not to break down right there. Of course, nobody understands that... you should 'just be grateful you have a healthy baby, some people cannot carry their own to term either!'.

Im not sure when I started getting over it, I dont think I ever fully did but it reduced to just pangs and a longing feeling. I am really worried about this one if it is DS3 as I suspect. Im already having a bit of a struggle while Im telling myself to accept it could be a boy. Im going to do an early gender ultrasound at one of those special places... they say 15-24 weeks for gender and they can determine with 99.9% accuracy so... That would be Aug 13th for me. Im afraid of how Im going to feel if I see a penis, even though Im not having any crazy GD feelings right now. I just dont even want to hope.

Not much going on here. Still tired and nauseous and lately have been dealing with heartburn. My next midwife appointment is Aug. 21st and my early gender scan is the 22nd... time is going so slow lol! I just want to find out and once we do we will be telling everyone (family and kids) that we are pregnant.

I am at 5 weeks, with slightly sore nipples and very minor hints of nausea here and there. I think I have some irritability at times (perhaps just life with DH and my son who turns four today!) and some tiredness.
I am a little concerned that after months of swaying, now that I am allowing myself snacks, more sugar etc , I gainded back half of the ten lbs I lost in like a week!
Do you all think I should count that as I calculate how much to gain in a healthy pregnancy weight gain?
I hope you are all well and that the ladies who had morning sickness are feeling better soon.

I was coming in to check on kitten dreams as well. She's been on my heart. If anyone hears from her, let her know I'm really thinking about her and hugging her from afar.

Also, how are you all already on page THREE of PART 3?! Lol you all are the best.

Simkan, such a relief! BUT I WOULD BE SO ANNOYED TOO!!! Especially about insurance!! What is that?!

Also, you all my two pregnancies were SO DIFFERENT- carried differently, craved different things, different energy levels, different levels of sick, different skin, and both boys! I just don't think any of that can predict gender, even though it's so hard not to try to symptom spot.

Done! Sorry I missed that!

So glad your family responded well!!!

Ladies, I got word back from my insurance the Progenity testing we wanted to do is covered and we will get to do that to make sure all is well AND find out the gender sooner. I can't take the test until 10 weeks (I 8w6d right now) but I am looking forward to this and hoping for great results all around!

I literally could have written this! I’m 5 weeks today (EDD 4/5 - I don’t think there’s an April board yet?). I also lost ten pounds prior and last time I stepped on the scale I was up 3 and I haven’t stepped on again since because I’m too scared haha. I felt like I was having to work really hard to keep losing weight after the 10 so I’m not surprised it’s started to come back. I’ve also increased my snacks and sugar intake. [emoji51]🤷🏼

Oh ladies I am the EXACT same! It's non stop eating on my end. I dropped about 7lbs in the month coming up to ttc (was actually not swaying, just sick with severe tonsillitis so couldn't actually eat!) And I've gained it all back - and an additional lb! I've always lost weight during pregnancy through morning sickness but I don't mind the weight gain as long as the sickness stays away. Was slightly nauseous today but I let myself get hungry so it was my own fault.
Actually can't believe I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow! I know we were ttc and all but I just didn't think it was our month so the shock is only starting to wear off! DH told my FIL this AM, he was pleased which was nice :) We're not finding out the gender - well if I can manage to avoid dissecting my scans lol - so I'm just waiting on the comments sure to come our way lol.

TP: DS1 was all belly the whole pregnancy. DS2 I didn’t even need to tell people I worked with I was pregnant until I was 6m because I still wasn’t showing much. I told them on New Years Day and had him in March [emoji23] (1.5m early, but still). It was totally opposite the way I carried DS2 and where I gained weight.

Still sending all the blue dust!![emoji170]

My inlaws are driving here (NC) from New York tomorrow morning, so should arrive late afternoon/early evening... so tomorrow they will be finding out about Oops. Their response is going to be.... interesting. I think my FIL will take it better than my MIL. I just hope comments arent made the entire visit.

Thank you Taytum! You are totally my spiritual advisor this pregnancy haha.

Surrounded, I am SO hoping they are positive and it ends up being a good visit!!

Sending nothing but positivity your way Surrounded! I truly hope Oops is received with great joy - and if not then it's their loss! Your little Oops is a gift X
