Due Sept/Oct/Nov 2017 (3)

I've announced to a few nearest and dearest recently and the comments came rolling in just as I'd expected them to...sigh. I feel like I wanted a girl because I felt pressured that I should have one as daft as that sounds...in the grand scheme of things now that I've unexpectedly become pregnant I realise that as much as I'd like a daughter I wouldn't mind another son either...but people don't seem able to grasp that and so the gender comments keep rolling in!

My fear exactly and it's happened for my last 3 out of 4 pregnancies!

On a different subject I've noticed my hair is still coming out after shower/brushing!!! Pregnancy usually stops all hair falling out I recall. I'm a little worried I think I will get my thyroid checked again as I'm hypothyroid but wanted to know if anyone else here has same symptom? I'm now 10 weeks 4 days

I've always continued to "shed" as much as I usually do during pregnancy.

We told our kids this weekend and some close family. Kids are thrilled.
My families comments were
"Wow 4 kids.. wow" and "what are you hoping for this time?".

Yes thank you ... I know I am a crazy woman for having more than the "2" kid norm.
And we are hoping for a healthy baby to complete our family!
Although they were all happy for us.. the comments are hard.

I dread announcing on social media now bc of the back lash I'll get for the amount of kids we have.
But having said that.. I love the idea of a big family. I'll have the big kids and the little kids. I am beyond excited for this journey of mine.

I'm sorry your family wasn't super supportive, Robin. I'm dreading telling mine, I feel like they think three kids is only a hair short of a whole three ring circus.

I'm sorry those comments would be so hard! I love the idea of a big family. But the more I have the more it puts my body through..

I haven't noticed anything with my hair, but I only have low thyroid when I'm pregnant. Really strange but it happened with my last pregnancy, and now this time around. It is so much better to be safe then sorry so be sure to mention that to your OB/midwife. They test my thyroid every 4 weeks.

Oh I got a lot of the wow comments too and please God it's a girl this time and my mum going around telling everyone she's definitely having a girl this time, it has to be!!! 😠

As for social media I share less and less now then I use to and definitely won't be sharing my news on Facebook ... I like to go on for a noisey every now and again but keep my business to myself.

Well girls...the streak has been broken. We are having a perfectly healthy baby BOY [emoji170] I think I was meant to be a "boy mom"

Huge congrats on another beautiful boy Roe! Did you post your sway? I couldnt find it & I love to hear what people did for their sway

So question... did you guys do the harmony testing or panorama? I have both options here. Harmony is $50 cheaper but I'll have to drive out if town to another city for it. Curious if they are all the same turn around time and how the results are delivered? I am not going to my general Dr as I am with a fertility clinic and then with a midwife come may... who gets the results? Do they phone me with them? Do they ask me who to report results to when I go in to lan for blood work?

Sorry for so many questions just trying to figure it out
