Seren - I don't know if I can get any E45 itch relief cream in Arkansas, but I'll look for it online. Maybe it will help. My boobs itch really bad as well!

Hi girls, i need to catch up (on about 10 pages!!!) but all went well with my scan yesterday! My little bean is looking nice and snug in here and has a strong heart beat of 130bpm - was amazing to see!

Here's a little photo of my little blob! I'll go back and catch up on what i've missed!

Congratulations!!! Great news and wonderful Photo ;-)

Gender pressure here too. My family had 5 generations of nothing but girls. For some reason everyone has thought since I was very young that I would be the one to have a boy someday. As soon as my family found out I was pregnant all they could talk about was how they just know it's a boy. I really would be ecstatic with either gender and don't have a preference. It feels like a lot of pressure though when loved ones make comments like that!

After I had my son, the amount of people who said 'you'll want a girl next' or 'try to have a little girl next'.

It's so silly, it just means that people will assume I'm unhappy if I were to have another boy, or that it's not the ideal. When actually, I really don't mind what we have, as long as they are healthy and well and alive.

I loved the posts a few pages back about taking each day as it comes and being grateful for every day that passes and still being pregnant It's a really lovely way of looking at it x

We would love a boy first. On my inlaws side they have 2 grandsons already and they all wish for a girl of course. My side of the family has a boy and girl (from my siblings) and no one really is stuck on wanting a boy or girl (or they havent mentioned to me). If the girl came first oh well lol, what can we do...it really is a lottery. The comments dont drive me crazy either way...yet!...not sure if they ever will

Try having 5 boys. Everyone presumes I will be disappointed with another boy.

Ok so those that were with me earlier in the thread will understand why I'm so excited. I have had very slow progression on my hpt.

On Tues I decided to see what my what my test looked like after my u/s (pic #1) then I decided to do another one (#2) and this is the strongest progression. I am dreaming and dancing inside.

Oh and the progesterone is slowing my bleeding. I seriously could not be happier.

 

[3boys]

Delighted for you hun x

 

[Cariad_x]

So glad to see you back AFTG, that's fab progression!

Detterose - hi! It's ollie_and_mummy from IG! Wee surprise pregnancy on this end for sure Haha.

Hope all ladies are keeping well. I've contracted stomach flu and can barely even keep fluids down I'm pretty dehydrated now so looking like I'll need to go to hospital tomorrow as my kidneys are killing me. Just hope our wee bean is ok

 

[allforthegirl]

Thanks Cariad

I'm crying at the most stupid of things. Not really interested in food but hungry and nauseous at times.

HCG is 235,000 up from 164,000 36 hours ago, so things look ok on my end. Still a fair amount of bleeding and cramping.

I'm glad your numbers are good. It sucks your bleeding and cramping. Did they do an u/s to see where the bleeding is coming from??

Ps where in Canada are you

 

[Serenjay]

Cariad hope you feel better soon

Dark star thats great news, lets hope the bleeding stops soon

Congrats on the scan!

Sending positive thoughts to those in need.

Feeling simultaneously nauseous and hungry at the same time for almost a week now. I've gained almost 5 pounds...need to slow down. It just seems that all I want are things not good for me. I didn't have cravings at all with my other kiddos and didn't ever gain more than 30 lbs with either pregnancy. I hope I can get a hold of this fast.

Me too, although I've only gained 3lb lol. I'll be the size of the house by the end.

Hi girls, I'm wondering, for those of you who have two LOs already, how much harder does it get after the second one comes? Funny thing is I already have an October baby! I'm gonna have to celebrate both birthdays together lol

 

[Dark_Star]

Allforthegirl : They did not unfortunately. This hospital is the only one in my area and it is so busy that they wont devote ultrasound resources to a situation that will resolve itself one way or the other.

I am currently in Northern Alberta but home is Vancouver BC!

Me personally found it pretty tough but they were close together, and I did not have family support and my dh at the time worked long hours. Third fourth and fifth was so much easier in my mind.

I too also already have two in October so I guess I now will have three. We did when they were younger do just one party but my one is 11 so he wants his own. It makes a busy October

Oh ok I'm in Saskatchewan. That they won't scan you. I pray the bleeding stops soon. It is just so stressful. Vancouver is so beautiful.

I lived in the NWT and travelled through N AB a lot. So do you have to travel to Grand Prairie or Edmonton to give birth??

 

[Dark_Star]

Nope, I will be giving birth in Fort McMurray, but babies may be flown to the childrens hospital in Edmonton if they are very early.
