Thinking about you Tarasue. You don't have to leave, please feel free to post if you would like.

Business, I really don't believe in Ramzi, and even if I did, by his own rules you are too far along for an accurate guess

Tarasue, we are all thinking of you, and please don't feel like you have to leave the group. You need to do what is best for you at this moment, and if that means stepping away from the due date message boards, then you should do that. But I wouldn't worry about stressing the rest of us out. We are hear to support everyone, for better or for worse--including you! I am so sorry that you are going through all this and I pray to God that you are never faced with an impossible decision too.

Business, I don't know much about Ramzi, but if Kasey is right and you are too far along, then I hope that provides you with some comfort that you will still get your little boy. I am trying to treat my doctor's early prediction of a boy for me as an opportunity for me. The baby's gender will be what it is will be, and if its a boy, I will accept that reality. My doctor knew I was trying for a girl, so by telling me she was leaning boy, it was lowering my expectations and slowly easing me into the idea that I will only have boys. But, it isn't set in stone, so if she is right, I won't be so devastated when I have a later ultrasound (or get my Harmony results) and it says boy. She already prepared me for that possibility. In contrast, if my doctor is WRONG, and I end up having a girl, it will be the most gloriously exciting news ever and in some ways, it will make it even better than if my expectations had not been lowered. So, in some ways, I think she may have told me her gender guess on purpose (I didn't ask her before she offered her opinion), because there is really no downside. If she is right, she's already adjusted me to the idea, if she is wrong, what do i care--I get my girl! So, anyways, I hope this paradigm can bring you some relief. It is helping me while I agonizingly wait to find out for sure.

Oh Tara, I still have hope for you. I was in your exact same position in Oct but there was no heartbeat and my hcg took a nosedive after 2 days so I'm crossing my fingers that your little one's heart just started beating a day or so ago and all will be normal next week. Hang in there. It's soooo hard to be in limbo. (((HUGS)))

Tara-- sorry I'm not up on all the I for but how many weeks are you? My doc won't even see me until next Monday (8 weeks along) bc before that hcg and "is there a heartbeat?" Can be so stressful and misleading. It's been hard to wait in the dark not knowing but at the same time I know I'd be a wreck if I went in at 6 weeks and numbers were off or they didn't find a heart beat right away. Hugs I hope this works out for you!

My appt is in two hours, I've been a blubbering mess since my phone call from the dr. office. I've been doing lots of googling and that hasn't given me much hope. I swayed for a girl, I know if this baby survives I won't care anymore. In all my googling I learned that other women in this situation that had a viable pregnancies, ended up with boys. Boys hormone levels are lower than girls. I have been having headaches, emotional, nausea on an off during the day(especially if I let myself get hungry) and some cramping. Bbs not really soar bloated and I have gained 5 pounds since I got my first positive. It's all in Gods hands at this point, I guess it's always in his hands! Now I just pray to The Lord that he gives me the strength for what ever hand I'm dealt.

Ds2 turns two and my nephew turns three on Friday, we are having a big double birthday party and family here all weekend.... I just don't know what my mental and physical state will be at that point. We haven't told a sole we were pregnant, that was going to be revealed this weekend as well.

Thanks for your support! I will update you all later in the day, fx I'm just overlooking things ...

I asked atomic about this a while back, she said there is absolutely no way to tell gender from hormone numbers so hang in there!

[carmella_marie]

Thanks for all the unisom advice ladies! My DS sleeps 11 hours straight but on the RARE occasion he does wake up and want a smoothie (eating problems) so I just didnt want to be out cold in case he needed me

If you're looking for something milder try Benadryl (diphenhydramine) it only lasts about 4 hours and you won't be dead to the world. Plus my OB said it's safe suring pg and BFing.

Yes, diphenhydramine is relatively safe to take during pregnancy, it's class B, but it isn't as safe as unisom, which is class A. And of course, if you combine unisom with vitamin B6, it helps with morning sickness. But both are good suggestions. Good luck for everyone struggling with morning sickness and insomnia!

Well today is my 12 week scan and I can't sleep with excitement and nerves. Just over 5 hours to wait now

Im so nervous as by now with my boys I have had an early scan for dating of other medical reasons and this one I haven't even though this has been my worst for dating as I fell pregnant on pill. We are going with me being 12 weeks today but I could be anything upto 17 weeks but going with the earlier as my hcg levels supported that at the time they were drawn.

I also feel that as this pregnancy wasn't planned it is kind of out of my control and keep thinking something is going to be wrong

Good luck HappyLea
