Me too - I got mine yesterday at 8dpo quite a good line and a stronger line today at 9dpo - the darkest line ive ever got even darker tha my last 12dpo test so hoping that that is a good sign of a strong bean :-)

Thanks for the kind words of support, Maple. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one moping around feeling miserable. I'm really counting down to the 12 week mark, I'll be so upset if the 2nd trimester doesn't bring me out of my funk. I need a break from feeling sick, tired and anxious about baby. I'm 9 weeks and 4 days, how do I get myself oen of those fancy shmancy tickers?

A little update on me girls. Had my scan today, so baby seems to be ok He's almost 5cm and doctor said he's measuring as at 11weeks 4 days, and I'm supposed to be 11weeks 5 days, but he said that's ok and nothing to worry about. All measurements he took seem to be ok. Heartbeat was 160b/m. Hubby asked him about gender and he didn't even try to check, he said it's too early for that. I couldn't see a nub either. I only got two pics cause while he was printing another two, the printing paper roll finished and they got stuck in the machine and actually the last two seemed to be the best two shots. I tried to scan them but honestly don't know how to do it, hubby is not here now cause he had a football match after doctor's visit, but will ask him to scan them when he's back or tomorrow morning as it will be late. I'll post them for you to see but there's no visible nub and photos are not very clear either.

It was very exciting though seeing our little one move for the first time. He kicked and at one time even turned around and gave us his back, how rude of him lol I'm so happy I finally saw him again I sometimes didn't believe he was really inside me. The more I looked at the screen and at the photos, the more I think it's a boy. He doesn't seem to have that dainty skull if you know what I mean So I guess it's a boy for us. I'll probably know in 4weeks time....can't wait till it comes!

Lovely to hear that your scan went so well. So exciting! Only 4 wks until your gender is confirmed! That's excellent... We will see eh? XX

Hi ladies,

I saw my midwife on Friday, she suggested when I get up at night (I'm up several times, goodness knows why my bladder can't be squashed yet) that I eat something small ie cracker/biscuit.. I have done this for the last 2 nights and have felt sooo much better in terms of MS in the morning. Really helps!

Can someone fill me in on the OWT and what they are/mean.. Scull theory and placental location etc??

Thanks ladies! XX

I'm glad your MS has been better!

I don't know anything about skull theory, but I do know the Ramzi theory says placenta on the right = boy and on the left = girl. So if you have a transvaginal u/s, if you hold up the picture to your tummy, you read it just as it is.

Can I ask some advice? With my older children I had VERY bad morning sickness! To a point of being completely unable to do anything. Sick all day and all night. Could not understand how anyone could function normally while pregnant etc. Well this time around, I'm slightly nauseas at times, I am more tired but that's it. I know it's early days, but with the other kids, the sickness kicked in from the very beginning.

This seems so completely different. (And a nice surprise) Could it be a different gender? Anyone have different pregnancies that were different genders? Also, should I be worried? Not strong morning sickness (well, I usually get 24/7 severe, sickness), should I be concerned? Pregnancy tests are all stronger, lines are now very dark, doctor thinks all is fine. I mentioned it to him. He said, could be a different gender? Unless you start bleeding, I don't think there are any concerns was his advice.

Mine have all gotten progressively worse and ms started really early on, this time its been a lot less than ds3, tiredness but not much sickness and if i do its in the evenings or night time but not much at all. Baby is fine though (or at least it was a couple of weeks ago) what bit i have got didn't start til nearly seven weeks either (again unusual for me)

How does everyone go off of the diet? I ate in between meals today. Felt so strange!

Also glad to see some moms on here with three boys. Mine are 5, 2 1/2 and 9 months. I think it's going to be great to have a playmate for ds 3 since ds 1 and ds 2 are super close! I would love a dd but mainly a healthy baby!
