Ladies due in Sept/Oct/Nov 2012, gather here!

Happy - what's "Wexy"? not heard of that before.. in the context I'm assuming it's DTD? if so, we tried that to get labour started at 38 weeks (after having avoided it all pregnancy due to DH's fear of causing a MC), and I had a big bleed then too AND it turns out I was already 5cm so in labour (probably had been before DTD) without knowing it

Sorry for all you ladies having m/s! It really sucks, doesn't it? I am hoping mine will go away soon. I had the stomach flu over the weekend, and now that it is gone, I am feeling like my m/s is really NOTHING compared to how crappy I felt when I was sick!

Happylea, DH and I DTD last week and I had a tinybit of spotting after--I think it is normal, because your cervix is tender.

Peony, great that you saw a heartbeat at your scan!

rainbow, I have had a lot of readings. 6 have said boy, 4 have said girl. Still, I think this baby is a girl, so as much as I WANT to believe the boy predictions, I think they are probably wrong.

Welcome LMN!

HappyLea, my husband is opposite! I tell him I'm preggers and that's the end of it! Think we *might* have only had sex one time since he's known? I dunno, I lost count, but it's difficult because now I'm feeling frisky all the time and he gives me huge eyes when I say I want some, so I guess that is just a lost cause, sigh.

It just dawned on me this morning that I'm 15 weeks and in another four weeks I'll be finding out! Yowerzs! Can't wait, but at the same time, I don't want it to come, because I like having hope still! I do have a gut feeling girl, but then I feel like I'm just fooling myself and that there is no way the baby could be anything but a boy, I mean, I didn't even skip breakfast??? LOL

I have an app with Dr on the 30th. It is just a simple check up. I will be be 11wks and 5ds but I may not be able to get a 12wk nub. Maybe it is best since I would totally breakdown if it looked boyish. I am going to try and wait until 18-20wks for a gender scan so I have extra time to prepare for the b word.

M/S seems to be almost gone. Only happens with smelly diapers, DS2 has just started potty training. I am still loosing weiht but only a lb a week I still have plenty of fat on me and I am eating tons.

M/S things that helped.... Organic Raspberry Ice Tea 1cp with each meal, 4-8 crackers 15min before eating (creamcheese if you like), eating every 2hrs about 1cp to 1 1/2cps of food, avoiding watery/greasy/raw foods, resting for 15-20mins after eating, and lots of ice water 24/7. The sweet candies and sodas made me really sleepy but I think it is because I am no longer used to sugar so it may have raised my blood sugar.

Glad your scan went well, Peony!

Auroara - I know what you mean. I'm starting to freak out because I'm going to find out the gender in just over a week! I'm letting myself daydream just a little about what it would be like to hear 'it's a girl', just because this is the last time in my life I'll ever be able to do that. I'm tempering it with a dose of realism, though - I think it's just as likely I'll hear boy and I'm scared to death about how I'll react.

My exciting news is I definitely felt my baby move last night. Starting at 13 weeks, I sometimes felt twinges that could have been movement but could just as easily have been gas. Last night while watching tv, I lay down and had my belly exposed. I could see distinct movement like you usually see later in pregnancy (is that even possible yet?) , but I couldn't really feel it. Then, last night I must have rolled onto my back while sleeping. I find that uncomfortable already, so I woke up, and just as I was getting ready to roll over again, I felt a huge thump on my right side. It was definitely the baby - it didn't feel anything like gas and couldn't have been anything else. I'm so excited - feeling the baby move is my favourite part of pregnancy!

Rainbow ~ yeah DTD is wexy it's just something me and DH call it.

Hobber ~ your right about the bleed. Early pregnancy clinic called me earlier as they put me on wrong Anti B's and i mentioned the bleed to her and she said exactly the same as you and not to worry.

Auroara ~ I feel for ya hun. Tho at times i wish DH didnt want it, im too tired I wish i was finding out the gender soon. Hope you hear girl!

Purple ~ glad your m/s is nearly all gone. Thanks for m/s tips. I wish i could be as patient and wait till 18-20week scan to find out gender. How old is your DS2? My DS's potty trained late at just before 3 years but had no problems and had vertially no accidents but DS3 is 2 in May and he is showing signs already and he tells me when he had poo and gets a nappy and lays down, im thinking about trying him soon.

Mocha~ how lovely, i love that feeling. And yes i think the more pregnancies you have the earlier you feel them move. I felt DS3 move quite early in pregnancy.

How fun Mocha! I love that part of pregnancy too. I have felt a few funny things but I can't be sure if it is the baby or not. Seems early for me. I have had BH contractions already though I have had them since 10 weeks!

Exciting about movement Mocha!!

I *think* I have felt flutters twice now but only lasted 2-3 seconds.

DS2 just turned 2 but he will go potty before he gets in the bath tub. He has been telling us that he went for the last few mths now. We did DS1 very early because he had really bad rashes and it was the best way to air out his butt. DS1 did so well and was fully able to go to the potty at 2 while I was nursing DS2. We waited longer with DS2 because he is so active that he never wanted to sit still. More little bro used to get his own diaper as well and he did awesome when it came to potty training.

I am not really as cool as one may think about waiting for a gender scan. It is more that I am afraid of hearing 2 different genders. Also I want to hold onto the girl thought as little longer.

I started to feel flutters last night but not sure. It was in the right spot but I was so tired that who knows for sure.
