yep he's always been known to be brutally honest - and yes i was doing LE so think that may have contributed to it a bit as after 12 months ttc and restricting what i eat, drink etc
i tend to eat small meals a few times a day rather than 3 big meals as i still get queasy but i'm not going overboard with eating everything in sight and i'm not hungry all the time either

i have terrible headaches too - mine is due to iron deficiency, when my iron is getting low i start getting headaches and sharp pains in my eyes

That doesn't sound good at all, are you taking a supplement? Its not nice feeling so unwell all the time. And I really think you're body will go back to normal once bub is here, especially if you breastfeed, I find the weight drops off me when Im feeding.

Hi girls,

I had my 12 week scan today at the perinatal specialist... Last time I asked him to look at the gender and he did. He predicted boy and he was right! (I go back to the same guy for my 20 week scan.) I totally chickened out this time. I just want to enjoy the mystery longer. I swayed girl, but know there is a good chance, of course, that it is a boy and I just am not ready to know yet.

Is that so crazy? Everything looked good on the scan though and he gave me a really sweet pic of the head profile. It made me excited all over again and the sex didn't matter as much. So maybe I will be ready at the 20 week scan.

yes i have been on supplements for over 10 years - i have 3 monthly iron checks
i am on a lifetime supply of iron supplements so i just have to grin and bare it really whether pregnant or not pregnant.
hopefully it will lol i dont have work to go back to this time, my last 2 babies i was back at work and dropped it quickly as my job was very physical but i quit my job sept last year so i'll have to join the gym this time lol

i'm finding i've accepted that this is very likely a boy and am getting a little excited about shopping etc the one thing i am having trouble with is dealing that i will never ever live out that pink dream and give my boys that little sister that they really want and having that little girl that i have always desperately wanted
only 4 more days until my gender scan now

[mumof6]

glad to hear all went well Lizzie
yes i know how you feel, i wish i hadnt been given a full profile shot at my 12w u/s since then i've been stressing big time since it wont change the gender!!

5W by Natures Sunshine and EPO- I know I have a lot of time till the end of my pregnancy. Just wondering has anyone used these in the end of pregnancy? Did it work or not? How much did you take of each. My midwife said that she may start me on this twards the end. I think she said at 35 weeks.
I am also going to ask this in a another place, but thought I would ask here also. Thanks all.

Id never heard of 5W until I just googled it then, I don't think you can get it in Australia. I took RLT with both my boys, will probably do that again. And I might give EPO a go this time though.

Are you feeling a bit better yet Zem?
