Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond #2

[TTCPink]

JMM, I am not sure what to say about that nub. It is very long and flat (girl) but the angle would make me guess boy. What a tricky one! Did you put it in the Ultrasound thread for guesses too?

[TTCPink]

Pumpkin, that is scary!! I am so glad you are OK!! Xxx

And, awesome news that another dr. has confirmed that there is a girl in there!! So exciting!!

I hope you are right about my chances for getting a girl. Lately when I think about it, it just seems to good to be true that it could happen to me. And of course these crazy dreams don't help!

TTCPink - thanks for your input. It seems so tricky, as my entire pregnancy has so far. Ramzi theory was ambiguous, my symptoms are all over the map. This kid is making me sweat it out. I agree with you, sometimes I htink it may just be too good to be true to get a girl though
I put it on the U/S thread, but I think it just gets bombarded with so many posts, that a lot of times it just gets lost in the mix!

Congrats GeCon!!! I can't wait to see you gorgeous baby boy!
Pumpkin that's scary but I'm glad you saw the babies on the ultrasound and all is well. I'm certain one is a girl but maybe two? Exciting!!!
TTC pink I had a dream that I was having a boy. In the dream my DH said well what do you expect? Of course it's a boy. We only make boys!

I'm on the fence about your scan jmm. Praying its a girl for you!

I am feeling strong feelings that I am having a a boy. I have been having recurrent dreams that seem so real. First the ultrasound reveal, and all the emotions that went along with it. Then several dreams of me with my newborn baby boy. I feel that my subconscious knows and is preparing me for acceptance. Hopefully I will know for sure next Saturday, the 25th. But, I am feeling there is little chance of hearing girl now. Maybe it sounds silly, but I am just not very hopeful after all these dreams. Regardless of the outcome it will all be OK, I know that, but I dread dealing with the acceptance that I will never have a daughter if this is a boy since I know this is our last.

I don't mean to give you false hope or anything, but with ds1 I had exactly the dreams you are having, but featuring a girl. Now as we know, he was a he! I don't think it's possible to "know" intuitively, however I do think your subconscious is trying to prepare you for the possibility of a boy, by making you feel attached to the idea of another boy. It's a self preservation thing for sure.

This time I had boy dreams too, and actually still feel a little surreal that it's going to be a girl!

Fx for a lovely healthy bub, and I hope you do get your girl, but if not I know you will be in love with this bub after such a struggle to conceive him or her.

GeCon I can't wait to hear from you!!

I went to the ER today because yesterday after picking up DS I wanted to do some grocery shopping and almost fainted in the supermarket. All of the sudden I started sweating like crazy and my head felt heavy. Then I couldn't see anything anymore, as if someone turned of the lights and couldn't hear very good. I heard a lady talking to me but it sounded as if she was far away. I sat down immediately because I have had that kind of feeling when pregnant with DS a lot and did faint in public a lot. Luckily it got better after a few minutes but in the evening I felt strong contractions which returned this morning. My sister brought me to the ER but thank god everything is fine. Babies are looking great and all the results came back very good. I asked the tech if she could tell me the gender and she said the first baby is a girl but she was on the phone while looking at the second baby. When she turned off the screen she realized that she forgot to check baby B's gender. I did look closely though and couldn't see anything between the legs so maybe even two girls?? We'll hopefully know more on Monday. I feel soooo much better now, it's getting real now that I have been told girl by two different doctors. Oh and the doctor said the 'contractions' I felt was probably just growing pain which is very strong when pregnant with twins.

TTC you are still in!! You had a great sway and I seriously will starting doubting that sways do work if you tell me you are having a boy.

I am so sorry hon, that is a very scary experience and I hope things get better. Did they say why the fainting? Low iron would be my guess, I had the same thing with ds1 until I took supplements. Or maybe you forgot to eat and blood sugar dropped? So scary.

I'm glad there was a small consolation that at least you got confirmation that one baby is a girl. That's all you really needed, just to know at least one is. Now you can wait to the next scan a bit easier knowing that.

I hope you rest up and remember to drink lots of water, dehydration can cause Braxton hicks which exasperate the growing pains and would definitely feel like contractions in that circumstance.

Thinking of you. Xx

Jmm I think the long flat nub in that pic, at that gestation (almost 13 weeks) means it's a girl, but as you said if it appears different here or there in different pics it's hard to tell from one. When do you get the blood test results?

[Pumpkin2011]

Ttc I feel exactly the same. I can't believe I might be lucky enough to get my girl!! When pregnant with DS I really wanted a boy because that's how I've öl always pictured my future family. First a boy and then a girl. That would be just too good to be true and I think I will need to hear it a couple more times to believe. I can't wait for your scan. We are driving to Sweden on the 23rd and I really hope I'll have internet access over there, can't wait to find out.

Meeks with DS I was taking iron supplements so that can't be the reason but the doctors never cared to find out why I kept fainting. I have low blood pressure and think that's the problem. I just can't stand too long. With DS it was really bad, I wasn't able to leave the house alone at a certain point. One day I fainted 4!! times. The doctor at the hospital yesterday was a little concerned about it especially since I almost fainted during the scan. I can't lay on my back too long and during the scans when there is all that pressure on my belly it's very bad. She noticed that I was talking like I was drunk and turned me to the side right in time.

Jmm the nub really is tricky and it's only the angle that would make me guess boy. BUT maybe it makes you feel better to know that the baby who got all the boy guesses seems to be a girl for me. And as for ramzi, both babies implanted on the left which would mean two girls according to ramzi but as for now it looks like there is one of each in there.

Meeks I love all your belly shots! You are all belly, looking great!!

Sun are you feeling any better yet? How far along are you?

[TTCPink]

Meeks, I like your take on the dreams a lot better than mine. I went shopping today and bought baby girl outfits for my sister in law's baby shower on March 2nd. How cute are these?! If I find out I am having a girl I might just have to keep them! It was fun buying them for her and imagining that maybe they could be mine!! Fingers crossed!! 9 days until the gender scan!!

GeCon - Congrats on sweet boy #2! Wow, well done with only 2 hours active labor! Totally impressed.

Pumpkin - Oh my goodness, take care of yourself!! Yes, be sure to stay hydrated, and make sure you're getting enough iron. Yay that you've got at least 1 girl in there. Woohoo!

TTCPink - I don't put much stock in dreams. I think it's good for you to be prepared to hear boy, but you definitely still have a chance for a girl! Fx for you!

Jmm - Welcome and congrats! I have a close friend due with her baby girl on July 28th (this is pg #5 for her, she was really hoping for a girl after BBGB ). She did MaterniT21 and found out Tuesday. With your nub shot, I agree that shape is girly, but angle is boyish. So glad you will know from your blood test results very soon. GL!!

AFM - Feeling good, baby looking good, too! Just found out that hubby is going to be transferred across the country, and we will be moving around spring break (end of March). We have been here for 10 years, so moving this time is a HUGE deal. We will be much closer to my family (about a 3.5 hour drive), which I am super excited about. The town we are moving to is lovely, cost of living is significantly lower, schools are excellent...so while at first I was not excited about a move with such a tiny baby, I am getting excited, and ready to just get the ball rolling on all the logistics. Gonna be a crazy time! I will totally miss my friends and in-laws here, but both DH and I are feeling that the move is the right thing for our family. Another huge bonus: because it's a relocation, the entire packing/moving process is done and paid for by DH's employer. Woohoo!
