I agree mommymachine... can't trust myself because I feel like I want a girl too badly. I know this sounds silly, but I do consider myself an intuitive person, and I have had a sense that it is a girl, but again I worry that it is simply my desire getting in the way. I think I am too close to it to get a true feeling on it.

i feel the same way as both of you. I so want a girl, and think it is, but can't trust my self that this is a girl...lol. I wouldn't worry much about not gaining weight this soon on. I started out at 120 pounds. From me being so sick I lost 14 pounds, I am now up one of those 14 pounds lol. So I am still 13 pounds under my starting weight. the dr. said it isn't something to worry about. He just gave me meds a while back, to make it so I wont be sick anymore.

JUST FOR FUN- What gender are you hoping to have? What is your gut feeling on what you will be having? ~~~Just thought we could all play around before a lot of us start finding out what we are having. I sooo want this to be a girl. My gut also says girl, but I don't know if I should trust it or not, because it could just be me wanting one so much that is making me think this is one lol....

Im hoping just for a healthy bub, boy or girl. I think based on my 12wk scan pic above this is a girl and i would obviously be over the moon if it is, havent booked my 20wk scan yet.

glad your scans went well dreaminginoz and mommymachine sorry I have no idea on predicting nub or skull theory.

I honestly have no idea what this one is, I keep changing my mind.

I'm also a little worried I'm not putting on enough weight. I have only put on 2kg and I started out quite small (bmi about 19.5). With my boys I was ravenous in the first part of pregnancy but not this time. I think I also started out a bit bigger although I never really weighed myself.

Might be a sign of a different pregnancy bythe******! I wouldnt worry about not putting on too much weight, especially if you have been sick the first trimester and 2kgs is good for 2wks into the 2nd trimester...i would say your on target


Because i had bad nausea i was eating anything and everything to get rid of the feeling but that created the opposite problem and i was putting on weight very fast! so I have had to put myself on a strict routine for eating lol i have phone alarms for throughout the day so i know when i can eat and what type of food i can eat and its working really well in controlling my weight gain. I've stayed the same weight the past 13 days.

Good for you dreaming! I've been eating a lot because of m/s too. I have probably put on a lot of weight (haven't checked) and I definitely have a little bump now, but not too big. I should probably start to watch my eating a little more closely too. I may try the alarms and meal plans - probably better for the baby too. Thanks for the great idea.

Mommymachine - your baby is also super cute! Lots of cute little babies here in this group. My NT scan is tomorrow too and am hoping to be posting some super girly nub shots in the ultrasound forum some time tomorrow. Wish me luck!

BabyGirl4Me - it really works so well im surprised by how easy it is - let us know how u go GOODLUCK for your scan today...are u nervous??! cant wiat to see a little pic....im a bit disappointed no one is guessing on my nub pic in the u/s forum and someone even said there was no nub....i can see it clear as day but maybe im looking at something completely different!!

in other news i had my NT scan and results come back high for downs so am looking at either getting an amnio or MaterniT21 bloods done....an amnio scares me becasue of the risk of m/c and MaterniT21 bloods are not 100% and have had some false positives.....what would you guys choose??

I'm sorry your test results weren't good dreaminginoz. i would try not to panic, lots of people get poor results and their babies are fine. but I understand its easier said than done.

looking forward to seeing pics of your little bub babygirl4me

So I am 13 weeks, I have been having spotting on and off three different times. I just had a ultra sound to see if we could see if anything was going on. We found that I have 2 small bleeds. I am worried, has anyone had this and had a healthy baby? So worried that this will cause us to MC. Or for something to be wrong with baby. On a happy note, baby was measureing 2 days bigger than due date. Any words would be healpfull, thanks all.

i'm sorry you're still having trouble with bleeds Zem. Sorry no advice, what did your dr say? That's good news about bub growing well though.

Went away to visit my sister for the weekend and have got gastro or food poisoning last night. Was up sick most of the night. It was horrible, I had to get up to get on the plane early this morning. Luckily I had stopped vomiting. My kids were quite a pain too after having their routine off with me away. Thankfully my mum has spent the day here cleaning and helping me with the kids.

Hope everyone else is doing better. Anymore news about your test results dreaminginoz? And how is the bleeding Zem ?
