2015 MARCH-MALLOWS... Due in March 2015!! Come join us!

I do love a bit of gender predicting though....! oh and the Chinese gender predictor has been right for me each time!

I think I'm having a boy - there's not a thought in my head that is pointing to pink - though we are team yellow so it will be some time before we know. Since this was a surprise for us, but I can pinpoint date of conception, it was probably 1 day after O, and I feel like the boys are faster swimmers... who knows, but from the first BFP I was thinking "boy." Chinese predictor also said "boy"... I'll be happy with "baby" though.

Anyone having on-and-off symptoms? Yesterday bacon made me gag so bad I had to spit it out, but today I had some no problem. I was also super car sick on Saturday night going to a movie (even after buying tickets and popcorn my SO asked if I'd rather go home) - but I haven't felt as sick since. I'm getting small pains and twinges in the tum-tum but so far nothing in the bbs... should I be worried with lack of symptoms? I know it sounds silly, I'm just constantly paranoid right now and I don't know how to distract myself.

miss frick, when I read your post I had to laugh because it reminded me when I was newly pregnant with my son I developed a total hatred for bacon... Well I had to get a quick flight for a morning meeting for work and the woman sitting beside me bought a bacon sandwich for breakfast and I had to puke in the paper bag! It was mortifying!! I don't think the poor lady enjoyed her breakfast snack after that.... I felt so bad about it, but hey what can you do?! Glamorous this pregnancy business isn't it!

Apparently it is not! At least when I had to spit out the bacon I was able to. We were out for dinner and I stuck a cucumber in my mouth and wanted to spit it out so bad but the restaurant had cloth napkins... choking it down it was...

Chinese gender predictor was right for me last time too!

I had a complete aversion to carrots last time,couldn't even look at them!

 

[Loozle]

Morning ladies! Chinese gender predictor was right for me both times before too! This time it says girl and my gut instinct says girl too. My gut instinct was wrong with ds1 and right with ds2 so I don't have much faith in my gut

I'm trying to make myself get up and ready for work but I'm so tired, I feel like I could sleep all day! Pregnancy really is exhausting!

I booked my first antenatal appointment yesterday! it's for 24th July, so I'll be 8 weeks. I really am feeling optimistic about this little bean

 

[dan-o]

Mrskchicago, loved that link, some hilarious gender predictors there!
I've done the Chinese one and that says another boy! I feel girl vibes myself tho.

Foxycleopatra!! Yay glad you found us! Were we pregnant at the same time before? I'm sure I remember you from the bumps section!

Missfrick, Funny how it comes and goes like that. Maybe baby fancies a bacon sarnie now after all, just not cucumber like mine

Drmum, hilarious! Did you get bad morning sickness last time?

Smawfi have you got any aversions yet this time?

Loozle the tiredness is hammering me also, I would go to bed same time as the kids if I could lol

 

[smawfl]

Nope no aversions yet so far!

Still very early though.

Looking back I don't think my symptoms and nausea started till around 6weeks so we'll see!

 

[Loozle]

Same dan-o! They go to bed between 7 - 7.30 and I'm so jealous

Smawfl - my sickness started at 6 weeks every time too and I'm yet to be sick this time but definitely getting moments of nausea that tell me it's definitely on its way!

 

[smawfl]

Am I mad to say roll on 6 weeks!!

 

[dan-o]

Me too Loozle, I'm getting slight nausea in the mornings and evenings. Can't really eat breakfast until about 11!

Smawfi, deffo not, it's always reassuring to have this symptoms kick in, no matter how vile!

I'm impatient to get to strong heartbeat stage so I can get my Doppler out lol

 

[Bowmans]

Thought I'd join in with the Chinese gender predictor apparently it's a girl for us.on my side it's mainly girls and on my hubby side it's nearly all boys.

Slept better last night no insomnia - stopped myself from having nap in the evening so think that helped.

No nausea for me yet but maybe it'll kick in at 6 weeks

Doctors tonight

 

[Loozle]

I definitely agree, once I'm 6 weeks and being sick, maybe it will feel more real! I can't believe I'm wishing to start vomiting
My nausea in the morning is if I don't eat and in the evening it's if I eat too late/too much!

Funnily enough I was trying to remember when I got ds2's heartbeat with my Doppler. Is it around 8 weeks usually or is it possible to get it earlier?

 

[smawfl]

I didn't get a doppler last time. Think it would panic me more

Tmi but I had loose bowels again last night. This pregnancy ie the opposite to last in that respect. Omg last time I had the worst constipation. I remember saying to my hubby it was almost like nature's way of giving you a practice run before birth!

I have very light nausea but I am dry heaving quite a bit which I never do.

Got my early scan booked for the day after I come back from Florida which is the 24th July and I'll be 7 weeks then. Had to go private but it's worth it to put my mind at ease.

I know it's controversial but I'm not 100% decided on what to do rides wise in Florida. It's all very well and good for people to say not to risk it but there's no proof it causes harm specifically in the first trimester and you know what, I've had 6 MCs total and every single time I have done 120% what I should have been doing. I believe what they tell you, you can't really prevent a 1st trimester miscarriage. I turned myself crazy every time and I really need to change it up this time around. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't see myself doing anything with a lot of G Force or large drops, that's where I draw my line, but I think I will definitely be ignoring SOME of the expectant mother warnings. My midwife wouldn't give me a definite yes or no, said it was at my discretion and couldn't tell me what harm it would cause, she just reiterated that there is no research to even suggest it would do anything.

I know some people might think that's irresponsible but at 5/6 weeks, padded behind the pelvic bone and uterine wall, I know for the most part my little bean will be safe. EVERYWHERE online says highly unlikely to cause harm but could. Which is the case with absolutely anything.

Then again I think now I've said that some people might make me feel horribly guilty about my decision lol

 

[Foxycleopatra]

The last few nights I have been super queasy, not to the point of vomitting but just feeling ick.

Do anyone get the sudden urge that if I do to eat something in the next 2min I will die?!?

Chinese prediction says girl for me. I would be happy with girl number 3 but I know Hubby is despite for a boy.

 

[smawfl]

Not had that yet. That's what it was like for me last time. I had to always have breadsticks on me when I felt hungry otherwise I would be heavily and so nauseous!

 

[CoffeePuffin]

Can I join this group please ladies?

We found out yesterday that we're expecting baby number 2. Based on last period and ovulation date, I should be due around March 10th 2015.

Our little girl will be two this September so she will be 2 1/2 when new baby arrives and hopefully potty trained. She is going to make a marvelous big sister.. If she could just learn to be gentle

I am suffering with terrible sickness, just like my previous pregnancy. So I have a feeling I'm in for a rough nine months especially since I now have a toddler to look after too. But I'm very excited.

Trying not to focus on it too much in case something goes wrong. It's very unnerving until you hit the 12 week mark. We've told a few select people but aren't telling everyone until we've had a scan. We'll hopefully be able to announce it at our wedding in September

I think you'll be fine, try not to feel guilty. I'd just avoid any rides that are extreme. Then again, with how sick I am right now, I'd consider the little spinning teacups extreme

We're going to a heavy metal gig next week, I'll only be 5 weeks pregnant so bean is protected behind my pubic bone. Not to mention the size of a seed. I went to two gigs when I was in second trimester with Amelia, I just made sure that I stayed out of the way of mosh pits and my OH was protective anyhow.

Lucy our little girls are the same age,dd will be 2 on September 25th!
