Due in March/April/May 2013 Roll call!

Hi Princess, I know what you mean, part of me is kind of relieved not to be getting a 12 week scan as I would be the same as you if everyone guessed girl I would just want to know NOW! Hopefully the time to the next scan will fly by and you will have your little princess well and truly confirmed.

I go from being really nervous to being pretty laid back about it, I'm not actually that excited about the pregnancy yet which I feel quite bad about but I think it is because I'm worried it is still early and something could go wrong. I'm sure once we hear the heartbeat at 12/13 weeks it will all feel a lot more real. I know I will be petrified before my scan in November, partly hoping that everything is ok and partly because although my gut instinct is saying this baby is a girl I can't imagine seeing anything other than boy bits on the u/s screen! This is definitely our last baby as well, we live abroad from family so don't have any support and I know we couldn't cope with any more.
I watch my boys playing and think how lovely it would be if they had a little sister, there is only 17 months between my boys so another reason for wanting a girl is because it will be a big age gap (4 years) for another boy and he may feel left out.

I am dying to buy pink stuff, I have a box stuff of baby girls clothes that a friend gave me on the off chance our next one was a girl. I have a super cute dress under the mattress of our bed too

I hope and pray that everyone gets their desired gender. xx

Rosie and 3M, I am right there with you girls. I really thought I was ok with either gender, though preferred girl, until I had my scan and now from what I read ALL ultrasounds need to be reversed, so my baby/placenta seems to be on the right which indicates boy. I wish I had never read so much on theorys, because now I just feel I am having boy #4 and will never have my DD. I am trying to tell myself to prepare to hear boy, but hope for girl, but really I am just so bummed. Not to mention I am puking my brains out and the prescription meds arent helping because I cant keep them down long enough. DS3 is teething so he is up at night, which is making me even more exhausted, and I just feel a little resentful right now. I know thats horrible, but I cant help it. I have 6ish weeks until I can maybe get a nub shot and I am almost not looking forward to it because if nub looks boy it will take away the little bit of hope I have that Ramzi theory is poo.

Threemen, about the left ovary thing, they confirmed I o'ed from my right at my 8 week ultrasound, and it really freaked me out, because I thought that meant I had no hope at all of this bean being a girl, but she is! I don't know how much stock I put into the left / right ovary thing, because many women with only ONE tube end up having mixed genders, so I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

Many, many ppl tried to dissuade me out of this third child, saying that I'd just be bound to have 'another boy'....I pushed through anyway, and like ya'll, in the early days, with ms and doubt, I felt like there was really no way in hell I'd have a daughter, but I did have a gut feeling it was a girl, but I didn't want to trust it/believe it because of all the negativity about how I would just fail at producing a daughter. I told my oldest sister about swaying before I did it, and she laughed and said her friend tried it to get a girl and ended up with a "boy named benjamin." But, at the end of the day, I really wanted to have tried than have been too scared, so I actually COMMEND all of you in this thread for putting your dreams in action!!!!

You can't get a girl without at least trying--and trust me, I doubted my sway a ton too (I wasn't as hardcore on diet as I could have been), we all have doubts/questions about our sways after they are done--no sway is 'perfect' but yet many of us seem to be very lucky in achieving the desired gender, so have faith

The dr called in some Zofran. Finally!!! I am so glad to be getting some relief. Today has been the worst and I am at my breaking point! The boys are acting crazy b/c they have been cooped up inside b/c of all the rain and me feeling sick and I just can't keep up with them and get work done. DH gets home at 3:30 and it can't be soon enough!

Thanks Auroara so lovely to hear success stories, you give us all hope! Not long until you meet your little princess now, I can't wait to hear all about it! Bet you can't wait! x

Hope you feel better soon NC, ms sucks! I haven't been so bad this time thankfully, just feel absolutely shattered and nauseous which isn't fun but at least it is a good sign things are going ok with the bean. My boys are in nursery 4 days a week, and I work from home so I can work at whatever time suits me so I get a good break. Loads better than with my 2nd pregnancy when I had a 9 month old to look after while combating awful morning sickness! I used to sit him in the empty bath while I was being sick in the loo - not good!!!
Whenever I feel like eating I feel really full fast, so every meal time it ends up feeling like I have absolutely stuffed my face when actually I'm eating far less than normal.
Only a few weeks to go until we should start blooming!

Good day ladies! I am still refusing to change my ticker to my new due date. I still think it is wrong, haha!!

Glad you got something for some relief NC!

My ultrasound tech said it doesn't matter what ovary the egg comes from, just where it implants.

Winn--don't worry about your picture because unless your tech told which way she printed it you have no way to know! It could be sagittal, transverse...flipped around on purpose.... It all depends on which way they had their screen, how they hold the wand and how they print the picture so there are many factors to know and again easier said than done but try to stop looking at the picture and thinking right or left. I keep picking mine up and forcing myself to put it back down saying I have no clue!

mummypink - you sound like me! Working from home has been great, but this has been the longest summer ever! They let out of school for summer break at beg. of June so they have been at home with me since! It has been so hard! Next Tuesday they start back and DS1 will be going to preschool M-F from 9-1 and D2 will be going T, TH, and F from 9-1. Then they come home and crash so I pretty much get all day to get stuff done! I just need a break from feeling bad and from the kids!

Hello everyone. I had my u/s a little while ago. The sac and yolk sac were there, and the start of an embryo. I go back next week to see the h/b...hopefully. I did get an abdominal and vaginal. I didn't ask about sides because that would've made me obsess. Hope everyone feels better soon. And thanks for the post Auroara.
