Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

Hi, ladies. Sorry I haven't been very chatty lately...I feel so horrible this pregnancy, much worse than my other two. Hopefully this will pass soon.

Anyway, glad to see that everyone is doing pretty well, yucky feelings aside. I have a question though. Is anyone showing a little bit yet? Any kind of tiny bump at all? The reason I'm asking is because, with this being my third pregnancy and it also being twins, I thought for sure I'd be showing by now (almost 10 weeks), at least a little bit. But I'm totally not. You can tell that I'm very bloated and kind of "thick" looking in the middle, and you can tell that I've put on a few pounds, but I most definitely don't have any kind of bump. It makes me a tiny bit worried that the babies aren't growing or something, but I suppose it's still early. Just wondering what you girls are experiencing...

Hey Sweetpea! I think 10 wks is too early to see a 'bump'. Don't worry! Sorry you are feeling rough, it is so unpleasant! I feel I have put on weight, although I have not weighed myself. I am certainly eating more, so am expecting to expand! XX

That is wonderful news CVD!

I had an u/s today. My little jellybeans HB was 124 and they moved my due date to June 28.

That's great!! XX

I am super excited because I found a place that does early gender assessments (14 weeks), it is a bit of a drive away from me lol but I have finally convinced DH to take the road trip and so we will find out the gender on December 6th now - Instead of waiting until January 3rd!! I am so excited because it seems so soon!!! LESS THEN A MONTH! I am going to pray every night that baby cooperates and let's us see HER baby nubbins hehehe

That is exciting! 14wks is awesome! XX

Hi sweetpea. I am not showing which is unlike me as with DS2 and 3 I had a pooch by now. I too was expecting to pop right out this being my forth (fifth but didn't get a bump with my mc) pregnancy!! Baby was measuring right on track last week son I'm sure he is fine just does make you worry doesn't it.
I'm sure your babies are fine and hopefully this is a sign we are carrying dainty little girls

Hi CVD how exciting!!! Roll on the 6th, I shall be super stalking you.

I too was looking into finding out the gender early. I was going to go team green but it's slowly becoming the case that I need to find out asap for my own sanity (seriously I am going crazy). I live in Kent in England and there is a famous Doctor half an hour from me called DR Penman who does gender prediction scans 12 weeks onwards. Lots of people have been and he has great reviews, with accuracy of 95% at 13 weeks. I am tempted to book but I'm not sure if I could handle knowing before Christmas and then having to pretend to my family and act excited when they go on and on about the fact it might be a girl (I'm convinced he has a willy in there).

Yes! I envy the girls who stay team green. I literally just could never do it! It would kill me!!
And family is one of the reasons were doing the 14 week scan - my MIL has been so naggy and down "don't get your hopes up for a girl" blah blah blah. so we aren't telling anyone about the scan, just DH and I going that way I can *hopefully* prepare to handle her, girl or boy! It'd be hard right at Christmas though, I agree! You'll just have to see how you feel closer to the time. I can't wait to see what we are all having in here! I hope our sways worked!!!!

Yes, actually, being in labour on my birthday may not be a good thing, lol.. Ouch.

Just the last 2 days I have been feeling unwell.. Nausea and off a lot of foods. I only want to eat fried unhealthy food.. It seems to be coming in waves, rather than consistently nauseous - so far. I had terrible m/s with DS2 - up until 16 wks. So I am certainly expecting it this time!

It sounds like you may not get m/s! Wow, that is lucky! Although I do understand that you may not feel very pregnant at this stage.. Early pregnancy is a really uncertain time, the hormonal fluctuations don't help either! Your blood work sounds very healthy. Try to enjoy feeling good!!

When is your first ultrasound? What country are you in?

All the best for a very happy & healthy pregnancy! XX

I guess being in labor on your birthday would be not so fun, but it would be special to share a birthday with your little one in the years to come.

I am in the U.S. I actually already had an ultrasound that put me at 5 weeks 5 days last Wednesday. They could really only see the sac. I am going back on Monday, November 19 for another scan to check the growth and hopefully see a heartbeat.

I never showed until around 20 weeks or so. I have a long torso, so I don't "pop" out. I would expect that you will show sooner than that with twins, but at 10 weeks they are still so tiny, I wouldn't expect you to show yet. I understand your frustration, I am always impatient to start showing so people know I am pregnant and not just a little chubby in the middle!

We live in Kent too and have been to both his clinics. He scanned all three of our boys and got 2 out of 3 right but the one he go wrong was just over 11 weeks so he said 75% girl. The other two he thought 95% boy. Nice man - bit eccentric!!! Bow ties etc!!! Main reason we went to him was because nhs at the time didn't offer uncalled scans but they do now so just going nhs this ime. Am scared of finding out this time lol!!!!
