Hi Ladies.

A quick note to say it's a healthy looking baby with all the bits in the right places thus far, yeay and it's a BOY. Moat people were guessing another girl which was fine, I kind of figured that the sonographer would say it's a girl I might have that second of OW and then be all psyched - suffice to say it actually never occurred to me what I would think if they said it's a boy I know I'm an idiot. Now all I can think is yikes what am I going to do with one of those hmmm the same as with my DD take it one day at a time.

Got to say this pregnancy has felt totally different (stress alone) but also all the corny stuff I'm carrying totally differently, have been having some serious savoury cravings, could eat a jar of olives if one would let me my poor hubby thinks its funny.

OK now I need to go back, catch up on all the posts before I waffle on anymore.

Marti

Agh was typing a post and my phone just went blank and I lost it. Thankfully I hadn't typed much so here I go again!

Mumma - so sorry to hear about your friend. Cancer is such an evil disease. Thinking of you hon and I hope you're going ok

Ms-marti - woo hoo a baby boy fantastic news!!! How exciting!!

caroldiem - oh the throwing up isn't nice but a good sign!

AFM - symptoms really kicking in this week, so tired and boobies really sore. Already gone up a cup size
and feeling a bit queasy most of the time, basically when I'm not eating which I hate because I don't want to stack the weight on!! But trying to stick to plain foods anyway like some crackers etc. feel like I'm a bit irritable too which I also hate as sometimes I find myself losing it with DS over things I wouldn't normally so trying to keep that in check. It's mainly at night though so the tiredness is making that worse I think.

Will probably call my OB tomorrow to make an appointment, not really planning on going til I'm 8-9 weeks so not too fussed about it yet.

Been posting in the Dec DIG but I know what you mean Psst, it just feels so big and impersonal. You ask a question and no one seems to answer it or within half a day it's about 20 posts back and no one, including me, can be bothered going back that far!! I'll keep plodding along though, it will no doubt settle down once all the BFPs have been and it's the regulars posting.

Not much else going on here, I've had this week off work which has been nice so just relaxing and spending time with DS. Can't believe I'm almost 6 weeks already! I know that's still early but seems like its going quickly. Hopefully the next 2 weeks goes quickly as I just want to get to 8 weeks to feel a bit more confident.

Well I'll stop rabbiting on now! Hope you're all having a great day!

ETA - oh no, just called my OB and he's away until the 28th of May. I'll be 12 weeks by then and I don't know if I can wait that long although I didn't see him til then with DS. I could see another OB before then but I don't really see the point. Or maybe I could get a referral from my GP for a scan around 8-9 weeks just to make sure it's all ok. But then I'll be going for my NT scan about 3 weeks later anyway??? Agh so confused???

GRRRRR.... I just did a massive reply, but while I was typing EB logged me out and I lost the lot!!

So, here's a really quick version of what I can remember:

Mumma to A - sorry to hear about your friend. And thanks for sharing your birth story - LOL at your labour aid of pinball machines. Bet that's not in any of the books!

Aurora - glad you have your OB sorted. I'll be using the same one, if he'll support my VBAC attempt which I think he will

Ms marti - yay for a boy! And even more importantly, yay for everything being where it's meant to be!!

Carol - sorry you're still being sick. Hopefully it's good signs for a strong, sticky bub

Andrea - I guess it depends on how much you want to use the same OB? If you do, and you're happy to pay for an extra scan then maybe have one around 7/8 weeks and then see the OB at the end of May? Originally I was happy to just wait until the 12 week scan but my GP suggested a dating scan due to cycles being irregular since having DD. Now I'm quite happy for the chance to check on things a little earlier.

AFM - also feeling queasy most of the day. Worst is after breakfast and early evening. Haven't chucked yet so am thankful for that. My mum guessed on Sunday as I didn't have any wine with Easter lunch and she's super excited.

Having a dating scan on Wednesday morning and I'll feel much more relaxed once I've seen a heartbeat. And then I see my OB in early May.

OK, going to send this now before I lose it again!!

[*Mumma-to-A*]

ms-marti - Yay for a boy. I'm really thinking I'm carrying a girl and trying to work out how to deal with my feelings if it's another boy. I know deep down boys are great but I'd love one of each.

Caroldiem - Yuk! Hope you feel better soon. Never really got sick just lots of nausea. And I hope Jess can join us too. Wishing her all the best for this 2 week wait (and mummajeena too)

Andrea - Why don't you just get a dating scan from your Gp for peice of mine. 3 weeks in the first trimester is such a long time.

Pssst - I would say most OB seem to be supportive of VBAC these days so your chances are good. I got my DS to tell my mum and dad. He told them I had a baby in my belly it was so cute.

AFM _ Feeling so much more movement now. I love this part of pregnancy. Really tired still even though I actually got a full nights sleep so thinking my thyroid or iron levels need to be checked again. Better go before I also lose my post too not EB's fault my laptop battery died and I keep knocking the power cord out.

Hi lovely ladies!!! Lost this thread for a while, had to do a search to find it again!!!

marti YAAAAAAAAYYYYY for a boy!!!! Oh, you will love him, boys are delicious little creatures and lots of fun!!! Love my boy so much I have to be careful not to squish him too hard lol. And think about what your DH/DP will be like - so nice to see the relationship between Dad and Son. Oh congrats - have fun with names!!!

Mumma to A - I feel EXACTLY the same. Now I've swayed for a girl, I feel good that I gave a little girl a chance but I'm worried about feeling a bit sad about not having a girl this time. I have 3 brothers, DH has 3 brothers and I just feel like I'd love another female in my close family other than my Mum - sounds weird but I'm worried about when she dies and I won't have that mother/daughter relationship and I just feel like it would be a comfort to have that with a daughter. Anyway, whatever happens I will love this bub (I already do!) so that's not in question, I guess it's just lamenting the loss of that kind of relationship. But we shall see!!! Agggghhhh your comments about movement made me feel all warm and fuzzy, can't wait for that time too!

Carol 8 weeks woohoo!!!! Good on you cleaning, I'm having trouble getting off the couch!!!!!

Pssst... hoping your OB supports your VBAC attempt. Looking forward to hearing about the scan!!!

Andrea, I said it in the other group, but if it were me, I'd get one. Unless you feel you can wait and would prefer not to pay the money, I'd find it hard to wait that long. That's me though. Chat to DH and see what he thinks, but it sounded from your other post that he felt the same.

AFM - Tired... And staying up late is not helping, I really need to stop doing that! Although every 2nd night I fall asleep on the lounge at 8:30-9pm. Not much MS although I've been feeling a bit faint every now and then. I've been trying to make sure I'm not left feeling hungry though so maybe that's held it off a bit. When I go back to school next term I'll be 8 weeks so hopefully it won't kick in then. Waiting, waiting, waiting for my scan... 2 weeks to go...

Hi girls
(whispers) Sssssshhhhhh! I'm not really here yet! I got a massive surprise natural BFP yesterday and it's still there today a little darker. I'm too scared to post in the DIG yet but thought its ok to say hi in here. I'm 14dpo today and no AF. My EDD will be (if it sticks) 22nd December, the day after my birthday but I couldn't care less if it's born on Xmas day, I just want a real live baby. I'm going to go to the GP next week (he's going to kill me lol for how many times I harass him about this then show up pregnant) then officially join here and the DIG.
Hoping Jess, mumma and duck-o-lah are joining us soon.

[caroldiem]

Bellefin I am

That is just amazing news acupuncture is amazing isn't it I am so very excited for you i know it's early days BUT i really hope it's a sticky for you i have a feeling it will be

I also really hope jess, mumma and duck o lah can join us here very very soon like tomorrow hehehehehe.

Most of us are still in the first trimester GAH!!! can't wait for that 2nd trimester to hit

aurora sleeping - Unfortunately my feeling good cleaning didn't last long the next day i woke up feeling horrible again and couldn't function, same thing yesterday this morning i had a lovely dry retching episode all good signs though OB appt 1 week to go i am counting down Monday the 23rd of April i really hope the baby is still there with a heartbeat I am staying positive until something goes wrong. Can't wait to hear about your scan twins here we comeeeeeeeeeeee

*Mumma-to-A* - It is so lovely when you are at the stage of your pregnancy when you can feel movement hopefully i will get there I don't like being in danger miscarriage zone but we all have to go through it

Pssst... - yep still feeling sick 24/7 bad nausea but luckily the vomiting is sporadic not like some woman who vomit every 20mins I really feel for them. Look forward to hearing great news about your dating scan it's the best when it all works out and you walk away atleast knowing at that point in time there is a baby and a heartbeat


andrea79 - I have just put on my bonds maternity bra from my previous pregnancy ahhhhhhh bliss!! finally my girls feel a little comfortable they have been sore and enlarged from Day 1. If i was you i would just go to my local GP and get a dating scan referral and get it done at 8 weeks there is no way i could wait until 12 weeks especially considering what we have both been through. Plus there usually free just ask your Gp to write bulk bill on the form something my GP forgot to do because she was so bloody excited for me heheheheh but doesn't matter

[*Mumma-to-A*]

Bellefin - Quickly and quietly YAY! Update us soon.

Caroldiem - The thought of Bra shopping right now is way too much but I am in desperate need of maternity bras. I have a good mix of other bras because I lost alot of weight last year (but gaining it with this pregnancy) but they aren't going to cut it much longer. I still feel like I am in the danger zone. I can't wait till my next scan just so I can relax again. 2 weeks to go.

Aurora sleeeping - It's how I feel too. It's not that boys aren't great they really are but I want the mother/daughter bond I have with my mum. I had a dream it was a boy last night and even though I was disappointed I was so happy to kiss and cuddle him. All other dreams have pointed to a girl so maybe this is my subconcious telling me that it doesn't matter either way because I love this baby.

AFM - I'm resisting sleep. I finally have gotten around to clean out my study/tip room. My bin is already full and the trailer is half full of stuff to donate. And I uncovered my old maternity clothes and while they are big they will do - whoo hoo. I need to know what I am having now so I can repaint and carpet the floors and then sort out the 3 packing boxes worth of stuff for the baby. So much paper work to sort/file better get back to it.

[caroldiem]

Ok just want to come and say I mean i know i am not vomiting every 30 mins but i tend to vomit atleast once a day and feel absolutely horrible with the worst nausea 24/7 i hope it's a good sign that this baby is growing in there. i figure if it isn't my symptoms would dissapear. I am counting down one week to left to my OB appt i am so anxious i think i have convinced my DH to come with me just incase there is bad news

Sorry for whinging but i just feel so so ill
