Part 3: Due January, February and March 2019

[Kelbear]

Sorry to hear some of you are having a rough time this pregnancy. This is by far my hardest pregnancy - I don't think I could do this again for a fourth even if hubby was willing (and he's definitely not as he's not even on board with this one!). I am nearly 23 weeks, still have bad nausea daily (although not all day and not daily vomiting which was from 4 weeks til 19weeks) still have some food aversions (never had this before) and back pain is excruciating (so bad I ended up in women's assessment for a check up ultrasound Wed to make sure all was ok as back and pelvic pain almost as bad as labour). I am constantly tired and emotional. I hope this improves at least for a few weeks before the third trimester hits as it is always down hill from there for me. Really hope everyone feels better soon. Wouldn't mind suffering this terrible nausea, pain and food aversions if it was for a DD but feel so sad that for me it likely just confirms this is another DS. I have asked them to move my growth scan (to check if placenta working) forward a week so only have to wait til this Friday not the following one. Haven't been sleeping in nearly a week since got ambiguous potty shot as so stressed about gender. Have decided definitely going to find out at scan as can't do the hope/disappointment roundabout anymore. To make the GD worse a friend at work who is due same day as me found out she is having a DD for her second and that makes a pigeon pair for her. Just seems so unfair that everyone around me is getting their DD or pigeon pair. With the exception of two people that I work with everyone else has a pigeon pair and it's the same in my mums group. I am the only one who doesn't have a pigeon pair. Just know I am going to fall apart at scan when I hear boy.

Hi ladies, I've been quietly following this DD group with a hope to join it.
Tp, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Well, I had my 12 week scan today, everything is fine (I had mc in May at 9 weeks), besides that its gonna be my DS3. I've lost twin girls two years ago due to complicated pregnancy and premature labor, so it was another reason for us wanting a girl so badly. I'll be 40 when Baby arrives, so I'm not sure about number 4.
Hugs to each one of you, you all are so dear to me

Sunstars it’s SO nice to see you back here!!!!!!! I have thought about you since you had your miscarriage and I’m so glad to see you are carrying your little rainbow baby now!! I’m sorry you didn’t girl but I’m sure this little guy will be a perfect addition to your family!!! When is your due date?

I have some catching up to do... Congrats to you hannah! Im sorry TP, its so hard to let an animal go. Our pit mix is getting up there in age and is showing a lot of stiffness lately. Hes my DS1s best friend.

Ive suddenly developed a bump overnight. Along with tons of back pain. I think this baby is confused... First trimester I felt pretty good, ate like an ox not sick etc. Lately, I can barely eat, lots of food aversions, heartburn, throwing up, headaches, tired all the time. I have a doc appt today and the anatomy scan monday.

GD has been so bad yet again, and I Had hoped that since it wasnt present when I found out, that I was skipping over it. I think whats killing me the most, is that I was going to sway with my third and thats why I joined in 2013. Then DS1 and 2 were both diagnosed with autism and I made the hard choice to swallow the loss of a possible daughter and just focus on them and not spread myself thinner. Then here came Oops and I dared hope that it might be my DD and its cruel fate that I am indeed getting my third child, but another boy and no chance to sway those odds. Im starting all over again at this point when I didnt really want to, for yet another boy. Then of course the guilt of feeling this way doesnt help.

Ugh- I’m sorry the pregnancy has gotten harder and that GD has hit hard. Don’t feel guilty about it - GD is real and it sucks and it hits us all hard. It’s clear from your commitment to your boys that you’re an awesome mom and you’ll be an awesome mom to this little guy as well. It just takes time - and that’s ok!!! Take the best care of yourself that you can right now & as always come here and vent whenever you need to!!

TP my heart breaks for you. I am sending tonnes of love and light your way and I hope you find the strength to cope with this loss of your little man. It's hard, just know we are here xxx

Hannah I'm so sorry you didn't hear girl BUT wow you are so inspiring! You seem to be in the perfect headspace and I absolutely ADORE the name Parker [emoji170]

Eighme I am the exact same at the moment. It's less the nausea, more so a feeling of just being "off". I'm really weak and fuzzy headed most days. The nausea is mostly at bay with the meds thankfully but I have super low BP when I'm pregnant too so that's definitely not helping!!

To everyone who has scans coming up - I'm SO excited for you! And a little envious lol. Mine isn't until October :/ But nice to look forward to!!

We have settled on a girls name - I won't jinx things by writing it down but this is the first time we've even spoken of girls names. Since DS1 when we were Team Green!!
We are at loggerheads over a boy name but I suppose that's normal when it's your 4th lol!

I think boys names are harder in general!! DH and I have a very hard time agreeing on boy names!

I’m still keeping everything crossed that you hear girl!! It really wasn’t a clear shot! Sorry you’re feeling so rough - can you imagine if men had to go through pregnancy?? The population would be so low or would have died off by now! Women are warriors to go through this torture!!!

Thanks for the reassurance about BH ladies. I went into today and everything seems fine - babies are good, cervix is good. Doc wasn’t convinced that I’m having BH - she thinks it’s more that my uterus and stomach are just growing SO much faster this time and me & body aren’t used to it, and it’s causing all these sensations I’m not used to. My uterus is already like an inch or two ABOVE my belly button at 18.5 weeks which is crazy to me! Unfortunately I’ve already gained 25-ish lbs . Doc said not to worry about it - it is what it is and babies need to grow!

And both bubs had their legs open today so we got clear genital shots - both boy AND girl are confirmed now . I can relax about that part at least!!

So glad all is ok and especially that you got to see confirmation of your little girl! Hope the pains get less. Don't worry about weight gain - you are growing not one but two little people so you need extra to support them.

She hasn't been on this board at all since she found out... been really worried about her as well Please let us know if you hear from her.

How is your baby girl doing??

Thanks ABC, I’ve got one last way of tracking her down so to speak so will give that a go and let you ladies know fx!
Oh and re BH , I have a very irritable uterus so basically have painful contractions from conception to labour ....it’s tough (the plus side is that I labour very efficiently and fast) but if your cervix stays put, it’s just an annoyance. Two babies are bound to put pressure on your uterus and cervix so much more than usual for you so it’s pretty normal I dare say. If they increase in intensity and don’t subside with rest, better get checked though so exciting for you to have these two rainbow babies to grow and look forward to welcoming
My Sofia is great, thanks...a sweet sweet darling, that doesn’t sleep lol she is 5.5 m.o and can’t believe a year ago I was crying that she wasn’t a boy. COuldnt imagine not having her sweet face in our home :love:

TP, so sorry for the loss of your puppy, they truly form part of the family too

Sorry to see some of you didn’t hear what you’d hoped re gender, it gets better I promise and you will be head over heels with those little munchkins I know it seem so impossible right now but you will...the “sway opposite” babes are definitely so very special :love:

Thanks so much, abc! And I'm so happy that you are getting b/g twins and everything is fine!
I got pregnant after first AF after miscarriage. My due date is March 23 according to my LMP, although ultrasound shows a few days earlier than that, but here they don't make corrections for an official due date based on ultrasound.
