Part 3: Due January, February and March 2019

[simkan]

Oh ladies. This pregnancy is hard. Im 39 and struggling. My body aches, seriously awful heartburn and no food sounds good. And to top it off, I had sugar in my urine so I’ve been checking my numbers. Looks like I have an insulin pregnancy ahead of me. Boo. And now an anterior placenta. I SO want a natural and I medicated birth with this one. I feel like the odds of that not happening are quickly adding up.

So sorry you're struggling! I feel ya with the aches. This one has definitely been my most painful pregnancy so far. I'm not sure if each time the symptoms come earlier and harder. Ds1 I literally didn't feel pregnant till like 38 weeks. DS2 a bit earlier but still the last trimester. This one since 10 weeks. Dont think I'd be able to do it again so looks like DH will be getting his way at stopping now.

So both other pregnancies my only birthplan was epidural. Ds1 I was induced. Got it after 6 hours which was enough for me. I didn't think I'd have survived the whole labor. And once I got that epidural I was on cloud 9 and like yep! Definitely doing that again.
Ds2 had other plans. My water broke at 36 weeks. And when labour happened it happened fast! No epidural. When they told me it wasn't gonna happen I think the daylight was scared out of me. But I was only in active labor for 15 minutes and dont even remember pushing he literally expelled himself. And in hindsight I didn't need to have it. I dont know how I'd feel if the labor went on longer but I realized it's not as bad as I thought. Still think I'll ask for it again this time though... just in case it's a long one.

Oh and also had sugar with DS2 but I knew I'd eaten really badly the weekend before the test. It had been nine and my mom's birthday so lots of cake and sweets. I went for a second test and made sure to eat really healthy for a few days before and it came back clear. Those tests are very sensitive.dont worry too much about that affecting your delivery yet.

We put him down today. DH and I were with him in the sunshine when he was peacefully put to sleep. Thank you all for your supportive words. I am just so, so wrecked. There really is an endless capacity for grief!

Okay ladies. I am done with team green!!! We had a talk last night and from analyzing the way the sonographer responded, I am 99% sure it’s another boy for us. So we scheduled a private scan and are taking the whole gang to see the gender and have a better ultrasound experience. Really, they are the worst photos I’ve ever seen. So thankful for a healthy bean. I’d like to see those fists open up a bit. But there were no other major red flags. Ugh ladies. I just know if we don’t do this, I will drive myself batty. So it’s time to rip off the bandaid. I’m preparing myself to hear and see boy. All boy. But oh how I would love to be wrong.

I completely understand how you are feeling. This was me after our 20w scan when we didn't find out and since my dr hasn't been able to tell me I haven't slept, I keep trawling through 100s of potty shots to compare and am literally driving myself insane. I know I can't deal with this level of anxiety til the end of the pregnancy. It is hard enough waiting another 2 1/2 weeks til our growth scan. I am trying to prepare myself to hear boy again but know it will be absolutely devastating when I do. I hope you do hear pink at your scan, good luck.

TP I am so sorry this has happened to you and especially so quickly. No words will help heal the grief, maybe time will eventually help. Try to look after yourself at this time and grieve as much as you need to. My thoughts are with you.

Oh man I'm so, so sorry TP Huge hugs to you.

Kelbear - Hadn't responded to your ultrasound pic but from all the responses you had it does sound like it really is just unclear! And as you said, if your doctor couldn't tell from the pic then it really must not be a clear penis shot. Hoping it's cord and that it's blocking a vagina!!!

Eighme & Hopper - sorry you're feeling rough I'm 18 weeks now and felt like I was never going to feel better... and while I'm still really tired a lot, I do feel better now than I did. So there's hope

Hannah - Oh WOW so exciting that you're going to find out gender!!! Can't wait to hear!!!!

Raining can't wait to hear about your NIPT results!!!
