Oh Mocha

I'm so sorry. It started at 7w exactly for me too. I've taken folic acid and b6 but I haven't touched a prenatal yet. They make me so sick. Fx'd it stops at the 12w mark

I have lots to write but I'm on my phone at the moment... Will hop on later and chat

hello to all!

Mocha....so sorry to here that the m/s has gotten to you! I will not miss it that is for sure!!
Begonia...sorry you had a down day! I hope that you have less and less of those as your pg goes on!

We had a crazy filled weekend. My oldest son broke our $500 32" flat screen TV that we saved 6 months for last year.

He lied at 1st about how it got broke (we were not home when he broke it)....then fesses up later that he was playing with the dog and tripped, fell and hit his head on it (not sure if that is what really happened only because he had been playing video games earlier and he has a tendency to get really mad...we think he threw something and hit the TV) but that is what he fussed up to so..

..he is going to have to help pay for the new one....lots of chores and no allowance for a while! So needless to say I should have my laptop fixed sometime this week and our new TV I just ordered for less the the 1st one will be here in 3-5 business days!
And next we go for our NT scan.......so lot goes on here!

Ugh princesssarah, I am not looking forward to having teenagers! I'm glad the sickness is staying away. When is your scan?

Sorry sickness has caught up with you mocha - did you suffer badly with your last pregnancies?

Out of the Blue - are you back with your news?!

I'm doing ok - my midwife booking in appointment is on Thursday so I should get my scan date this week too. I'm looking so fat, it's going to be difficult to conceal this for another 3 or 4 weeks!

Oct.26th....so next week! I am hoping everything looks good at the NT scan. It wasn't until the 23week scan that they found the hydrops in Evan......but each scan and milestone of things that take place I will breathe easier as they pass and this baby is ok!

My m/s wasn't too bad in my other pregnancies - it started a bit earlier, but it would really only come in the morning and sometimes at night. It was worst with my twin pregnancy - I gagged pretty much every time I brushed my teeth. I got into the habit of drinking a big glass of cold water first thing in the morning, knowing it would make me throw up. Afterwards, I'd feel well enough to eat breakfast and drink my coffee, and the nausea would go away. Throwing up is gross, but it's better than feeling like you're about to throw up for hours and hours.

Mocha - Sorry to hear that m/s found you! Boo!

Princess - Sorry about you tv

Good luck with your NT scan! I hope all is well with your little bean! Make sure you get some good nub shots for us to guess on!

I have a u/s tomorrow to see if the SH has gone. Can't wait to see my gummy bear!

Hi girls,

Mocha - sorry to hear about the m/s. Hope it passes quickly for you but I know it really sucks.

princess - sorry to hear about your tv but at least you are getting a new one right away. Teenagers!

foxy - good luck with your u/s. Hopefully your SH is totally gone. i had them the last two pregnancies and know they are so stressful!

I am still really sick and everyone is sick of my whining around here. I'm 9 wks now, so hopefully only a few more weeks until I feel better. We told our parents about the pregnancy now and it went well. We will tell the rest of the family after my first appointment (still not sure when that will be!).

Has anyone tried that baking soda gender test (pee on baking soda and if it fizzes its a boy and if it does nothing it's a girl)? I'm sure its probably an OWT but my DDC was trying it....it said boy for me...hope it was wrong!

FX for you love! I have a scan the 24th and while I certainly don't have the level of anxiety you do (and yours is for good reason, I don't blame you a bit!) I know I will breathe easier seeing my baby in there again. RATS about the TV! At least he fessed up ... even if you don't buy HOW he broke it, it's a good step that he admitted some fault.

Mocha ITA, throwing up is gross, but the endless nausea is rotten! I'm read your post about finding that book in your room and can see where that would be hard. Honestly until I came to these boards I never realized how many women (and even their DH's) DO want daughters, which might seem totally crazy, but since I wanted sons so badly I couldn't imagine why anyone would want what I have. I thought about starting a thread but was worried it could make people sad, or turn into gender-bashing (though that seemed more frequent on IG) ... but I think it would be good for us girl moms to hear why boy moms wanted girls, and good for the boy moms to hear why we girl moms envy your having sons.

Foxy keep us posted on tomorrow! Maybe you'll get a cute pic to post

Tweedle I'm sorry you're sick too, hope it gets better. I haven't even heard of the baking soda test! Does it have to be done early on? I will say this ... just about every OWT in the book pegged this as a boy for me. And it's a girl. So don't lose heart!

DM, how you doing love? When's the date for the big scan now? Any update on your pup?

Me too!!! Everytime i hear someone having a girl, I think I am likely to have a boy. x
