@Boysway... wow you beat my time lol. I did the same thing! Got to the hospital around 5:21 (that's walking in the door on the main floor) by the time I got up to the room, and everyone came in I had started pushing. DS2 was born at 6:12. I didn't even get my shirt off. I feel the same way that you do about the next time.

hi can i join you girls? I'm a mum of 2 boys ds1 is 6 and ds2 is 4. Trying to conceive number 3 girl in april 2014. Doing the in gender diet although not going so well have been doing supplements and temping also. it seems the less i'm supposed to eat the more i want to and do eat don't think i've lost any weight so far i'm 5 foot 8 and weigh 10 stone is that bad?

[hotdogz&boyz]

Sure Lya! We love new people. And it's not about where you start. So, no, your weight is not "bad." We have people starting at all different weights and heights. It's more about the change you put your body through. So, if you can manage, take off a little bit of weight through limiting nutrients (calories, fat, and protien) and THAT is what sways pink. Don't be crazy obsessed with it, just kinda keep track of what you are eating, how much and when, and aim to eat a tad less (not less than 1500 cals though) and don't snack as much. I'm not sure what 10 stone is, but I'm sure just 5-8lbs lost would make a big difference (in terms of swaying). I am 5'10" and starting at 160-165lbs and will aim to lose about 10 when we sway. I will be fine losing 10lbs, it's within my healthy weight range. So if 5lbs is feasible, aim to lose that over the next few weeks Or whenever you aim to sway.

My bubs aren't small critters, but they aren't really big either because they are generally born early. I have had all of them before 38 weeks (36+6, 37+2, 37+6). They were 6.10, 8.4, and 7even. I'll expect the next to be similar in size and gestation. Although anything could happen! Me and my one brother were mid-9s and my other brother was almost 11!! I am one of those ladies who is crazy envious of short-laboring ladies. I have LONG labors, even with it being pitocin augmented (twice). Never less than 9 hours, longest was...wait for it...61 hours!! No pain meds. Bah...next time I want an epi (I say that everytime). But seriously, is it too much to ask to have one that is like 6 hours or something?? They are events for me. My body doesn't want to give it up easily. Lol.

I hadn't heard anyone swaying with clomid so I thought I would ask and see if I was the only one. I have been lurking the sight for a little while now and reading as much as I can on swaying pink. There was a handful of ladies that did sway with clomid that I have been following and have been wonderful in answering any questions I might of had. Here is the clomid link. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...91-clomid.html and here is the other one http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...-part-2-a.html

Welcome lya!
Hotdogz, you and I are similar in size. I am 6ft even and weight 170lbs, I am only looking to lose about 10lbs.
o18e, I am not taking clomid, I don't know who is either sorry.

[Fiorefleur]

New here, too. :-)

Mom of two girls and an angel baby, ready for our boy !! We'll officially ttc I think in May if I can last that long. lol I get excited reading all of this info.

I keep saying I want a smaller baby but each baby gets bigger. haha ! Our last was 9 lbs 1/2 and almost 22 inches by 40 weeks. I'm only 4'11 . No health issues at all. The next will be a 3rd section...they might not let me get to 40 weeks next time since I'm not aiming for a vbac.

[SpicyTunaSushi]

I have to ask- What does Dr. Potter believe about swaying? Does he believe it is effective?

[SpicyTunaSushi]

Welcome Fiorefleur! We are in the same boat. I had a great sway in December and lost the baby around 10 weeks- so I need some refreshing! We will be TTC in late April or early May, my 3rd cycle post MC (just to avoid the holidays!) (2 DDS)

[SpicyTunaSushi]

o18e- I have read that clomid sways pink- so that is good for you!

[SpicyTunaSushi]

Can I run this by you all-esp swaying experts? I gained 8 pounds on the HE diet through food and muscle gain. I have lost 1-2 pounds during the pregnancy and since this miscarriage. I am unsure about how much or if I still need to gain weight. I imagine after eating the same foods ill probably gain a few, but I can't imagine another 8 more (AND I DON"T WANT TO GAIN THAT MUCH!)

So, I was 127 before (and underweight), HE diet to 135, and now around 133/134. I also was on vacay so eight a lot, so some of that was maintained by eating high cals on vacay.

Does the December weight gain count towards my HE gain?
