Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

[Violet_]

I'm really not sure if I have twins on board at all. I haven't had any ultrasounds yet. I kind of feel that I might. But it is possible it's just my desire and wishes coming out.

I was equally as sick with all my boys. Or close to it. I do feel this is the worse pregnancy but perhaps that is just because I am in the thick of it right now. I certainly remember some many many months of suffering and feeling like I had a terminal illness until birth with all of my babies. I guess it's just the way that my body reacts to a little person on board.

Oh you poor chook... I'm feeling rubbish but I've never felt sick past 14 weeks. I hope it eases up for you at least a little soon.. I don't know what I'd do if I was still sick after the first tri. Yurgh..

If you have a scan, when will you do it?

I'm not sure we can afford the $170 for a 12-13 week ultrasound. Although if I could afford it I would have it. My doctor and midwife both want me to have a dating scan as I'm pretty unsure of when I did actually ovulate. But I just don't feel comfortable before second trimester or thereabouts to have an ultrasound. Apparently the dating scan would only be accurate if it was done soon as the earlier in pregnancy it is done the more accurate. So don't think I will still be able to get a free scan if I wait until I'm comfortable to at 12-13 weeks. So unfortunately might not be until 19 weeks. Unless I go to the doctor, and ask if it appears that my uterus if higher then usual or some other reason that points to possible multiples and perhaps he will send me for an ultrasound sooner. I'm just going to play it by ear. I will have at least one ultrasound though. Really uncertain about finding out gender. As much as I know I will love another boy, I can't help but hope for a girl and think I may cry again if told boy and I don't want to cry. I think I need the hope of a girl all the way to the end. Even if it's not a big chance of a girl. I don't want to go through the last half of this pregnancy upset and hurting. I believe this pregnancy is my last chance at a daughter. 4 kids is a lot and DH wants to stop. I also can't keep putting my children through a year off being able to do anything with them while I almost die for a year. My boys want me to do active things with them and all I can do is lie or sit down and whenever I move I vomit or gag. Plus I don't think we can afford more kids and it's not fair to keep bringing children into the world that you can't afford to look after properly. So this is it for us. But that will mean that I want it to be a girl even more. Ahh, to not have a gender preference would be so nice.

I just wanted to let you ladies know I lost baby A yesterday. I had a scan and although last week Baby A was measuring 5 weeks 6 days and had a hr of 134, yesterday Baby A was measuring 6 weeks 3 days but had no heartbeat.

Baby B measured 6 weeks 1 day but its heartbeat was only 44. Also have a bleed (SCH) so the dr thinks I may loss both babies.

I'm so very sorry sunflower. Sending my love x

UPDATE GIRLS! Just came back from gynae....it's a BOY! Was not easy to see and gynae said he is 90% convinced it's a boy. Little one kept on moving all the time, I think he's gonna be a naughty one! There were either his legs or the cord in the middle so he couldn't see well. He tried with a potty shot and I thought I saw his penis but gynae said that that was the cord. Then tried with a 4D and we think we saw his eggies down there, so probably boy. Gynae said don't go buy blue yet, but i'm sure it's a boy. He seems healthy and is measuring 16weeks 3days, almost a week ahead. I think I need to eat less chocolate and cakes! Don't want him to be too big for delivery

I already had my cry in the car, but after reading this thread, I'm trying to be positive and think how lucky I am that the baby is healthy, but it is not easy to admit that I'lll never gonna have my lovely girl. This is the last one for us, so bye bye girlie My son is going to be very happy though, he really wanted a boy, so at least that's a plus! I'm waiting for him to come from school and he finished early today cause they had the Christmas party.

Please say a little prayer for me so that I learn to accept this little one soon, I feel so guilty for wanting him to be a girl
