You are so cute Bluebonnet! I think it is natural to feel what you are feeling and it is ok- they are your feelings! I would let yourself process your feelings now so you can move forward once you know for sure.

I will be stalking...😘

I thought I might do a 'me' update.

I've been so busy with work lately this pregnancy seems to be flying by. 12 weeks and 1 day today. Exactly one week till my NT scan.

More and more people know now. Family know now and most are very happy for us. I have told one of my assistant house managers as well as my house manager. I'm hoping to see my other assistant house manager soon so I can tell her.

I have had plenty of people ask if we know bubs gender. I'm still telling people we might not find out bubs gender. Tbh, despite how much I want a boy I haven't really been thinking about bubs gender. I know we will find out. It's killing dh not knowing. He keeps asking if I know yet. Yeah, because like I'd know without an u/s! Lol.

I actually have been feeling alright this pregnancy. As long as I eat regularly I'm usually good. Mind you, with each pregnancy ms has got better. I know I'm extremely lucky. I know a lot of you have been quite sick. That's kind of why I've kept quiet. A lot of the ladies in my DIG from another forum have been very sick as well.

Bluebonnet - don't lose hope. It could easily be B/G twins.
I totally get you on the dread. By the time I was going to my scan on Monday morning I was so sick to my stomach and dreading the outcome. I needed to know, but knowing could easily have been a different kind of battle. Keep us posted. Every ounce of me hopes one of those bubs is a girl! I think you have a good shot at a DD!

Boysway - after the scan at 14 weeks when I couldn't get any clues I decided for sure that I was NOT telling people the gender if it was a girl. Once DD2 and DD3 knew I was prego, the whole world would know so I made it a point to tell people we weren't sure if we were going to find out. We even told our girls we may wait until birth. I still think what I thought before, lying is perfectly acceptable when it comes to gender issues while pregnant. We must preserve our sanity.
I am anxious for you and glad to hear that your m/s isn't so bad, makes the coping with the unknown that much easier!!!

[Boysway]

Adia, that's why I've been telling people we might not find out. If we find out and are blessed with a girl again I don't want to be hearing the negative comments. I have no doubt I will have plenty of negative thoughts myself. I love my kids and wouldn't change them for the world but I would be lying if I said I didn't cry and didn't take months to get around the idea of another girl after finding out genders with dd#2, 3 and 4. I want to enjoy my last pregnancy. I feel I won't enjoy it if bub is a girl and we tell people.

I sometimes wonder if maybe we shouldn't find out either just based on the fact that if I hear boy at my scan in 2 weeks I know I will feel so bad for feeling bad and I also don't want to hear the comments.

But I know we have to find out. I don't feel bonded with this baby yet and I think a big part of that is my gender anxiety. I think once I can I can really prepare mentally for when the baby is going to be here.

these are the cold medicines listed safe to take during pregnancy:

Guaifenesin, an expectorant (Hytuss, Mucinex, Naldecon Senior EX, Robitussin)

Dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant (Benylin Adult, Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough, Scot-Tussin DM, Vicks 44 Cough Relief)

Guaifenesin plus dextromethorphan (Benylin Expectorant, Robitussin DM, Vicks 44E)

Cough drops

Vicks VapoRub

Not safe to take:

Cold remedies that contain alcohol

The decongestants pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine, which can affect blood flow to the placenta

My doctor told me to stay away from anything with guaifenesin in it because of something bad they discovered in recent studies (can't remember what it was exactly) but my doctor said dextromethorphan was ok to take. Ultimately they gave me some codine cough syrup and pulmicort for my bronchitis, but I just thought I would share my doctors comments about the OTC stuff...

Linz, honestly I think I'm in some kind of denial. Last pregnancy I was so anxious. It's like I forget there will even be a gender.

[kitkat18]

Boysway I told everyone we were team green to take the pressure off and it really worked!!! I did such a good job telling people I was totally cool with DS#3 I actually started believing it!! If I had not had a very girly nub I would not have found out for me the comments etc would have been too much. I have to say part of me wishes I had stayed team green as I still get hurtful comments about my boys like I really deserve a girl after 2 boys someone said to me today!!!! Lizshine you have a super girly nub!
Bluebonnet hoping its your G/B twinnies we ALL get it! And the wait plain sucks. Hope everyone starts turning a corner with their sickness very soonX
