Hi Sunbunny! I did very little to sway. I just wanted to be pregnant with any kind of baby! Lol. But I did similar things as my last sway. We dtd frequently, I drank double strength Crystal Light for a couple of days before O and thru O (to lower my pH since it's the fastest way to lower it, and I'm too lazy to do LE diet), I'm still nursing the last baby which sways pink too. And both of my girls were conceived this time of year with Nov and Dec birthdays. My 3 boys were born March, May and August. We shall see but I'd be thrilled with either. We want one more of each anyways!

XX- I am so sorry you're so sick already!!! I have only gotten sick with baby 3, 4 and 5 so I remember well having 2 little boys to take care of while laying on the couch most of the time! I start at 8wks and it runs past 22wks. �� o hope you get some relief from Zofran!!!!

We are going "home" to the Pacific Northwest in a few months (live in Arizona now) and I'm so sad that I will be miserable the entire time. We haven't been back for 4 years. I might need an Rx for that. Not looking forward to trying to hide this from my 5 kids but not sure I will be able to. I'm the type that feels like I'm on the verge of puking 24 hours a day but never pukes therefore no relief. It's awful.

Speaking of.....when are you ladies telling your kids or family? I plan to wait as long as possible!

I think you're amazing five babies! I'm feeling so tired and sick now I'm struggling to get anything decent together for dinner etc. Don't know how you do it with 5. How old are your children? So you've swayed before and it worked?

We are so excited we told all our family already. I know it's risky this early on but I feel like they'll be there for us if something does go wrong. Even our 4 year old knows. He is really excited [emoji2]

When I told my dad i told him I already know its a boy. I hate how everybody tells me " hopefully it's a girl, everybody needs a daughter". Sure, I would love a daughter BUT I don't really admit that to many people IRL. I don't want pity if this Bubba is a boy.

Five babies- that is me to a T! I'm nauseous all day and don't puke = no relief!! Ugh!

We have told a handful of friends and two family members, my Grandma and my DH's mom and dad. We only told people that can keep secrets and are very close with us, A) so we have someone to talk to about it, and B) have a support system in case something goes wrong. Plus these family members couldn't be fooled anyway and would know right off of the bat!

Despite being so sick, I'm happy because this means a healthy, sticky baby! With the small sub chorionic bleed that I had at 4 weeks, I'm not nervous anymore. Both the US tech and my OB said it would pose no problem now or in the future when the placenta forms. I'm glad they warned me not to freak out when the placenta starts to embed in my uterus, it may push out any remaining clot that is left and it will be passed. It passed two nights ago and it looked like a scab, just like they said! It was very small, only less than 1 cm. I'm glad I don't have that to worry about anymore!!

When do you ladies plan on telling your children?

Sunbunny- I totally know what you mean! I would always put on a tough front and act like I didn't even want a girl. Lol. So we have DS1 (15), DS2 (13), DD1 (9), DS3 (5) and DD2 (2.5). After DD1 was born I have always wanted 2 littles girls in a row to match. Since my girls are 7 years apart it was hard to find stuff that matched and it only lasted a year. So I'd love a girl this time.

It's funny because if I do nothing and dtd every 3 days (which is our norm) then I have boys no matter what (I naturally eat a boy diet) but when we conceived DD1 I remember things being different. We had just moved from one state to another and my eating habits had changed, I was drinking tons of diet coke which I never did before etc and I conceived a girl. This was all before I heard about swaying. Then we were ttc #4 and were back to our usual habits etc and I had a boy. That's when I wanted to find out why and I found these boards. So I swayed for a girl with baby #5 and it worked! So I did the same things on a smaller scale this time. I just wanted to be pregnant again so if I didn't do enough then that's fine with me! I can try harder next time!


XX- yes, it's the worst feeling! And very hard to hide! I hope this is your girl!
I actually had a a sub chrionic bleed with my last baby. I bled for weeks 5-10! It was so scary. I was so stressed. They put me on pelvic rest the entire time. Glad yours resolved quickly!!

I'm waiting to tell family until we know the gender whether that be at 12 weeks with blood tests or 20 with ultrasound. I am not a teeny tiny lady and after 5 babies I have a belly so I can hide it. . Hiding from my kids that I live with and are old enough to realize why mom is so sick will be much harder! So they might know earlier but I'd like to try and hold out. It goes by so much faster when no one knows. I'm not even calling my OB until 10 weeks.

Just want to get though this ONE cycle. DD1 was born in January so I don't know if I want another double month birthday. Plus I have wanted a February baby for so long.

[fivebabies]

I wanted a February baby forever too! This will be our first double month....and at Christmas time! $$$

I LOVE Christmas time and Christmas babies. However, this is what we have going on in December:

December 15th - DH's b-day
December 19th - Our anniversary
Christmas (obviously)
December 28th - DS2's b-day.......and then DD1 is January 4th, so it is a bit nuts!
