Thank you for the advice! My dh is CERTAIN he will be able to tell from the ultrasound, to be honest i couldn't tell with our ds... i just took the ultrasound techs word for it but still i will make sure we BOTH look away!!

Dang long torso!

Gdef - I sent you a friend request

Flossie - aww what a little cutie! Congrats on your scan!

Spiffy - seriously the cutest bump! I'm still in the pudgy around the middle stage as well and can't wait to get my bump.

Busy - sweetie. Totally understand and thanks for sticking around here with us.

Thanks ladies. It's good and bad to have an early bump. Good, because it helps you feel more pregnant, bad because you have to tell everyone at 8/9 weeks, otherwise everyone gets suspicious.

Baker, before we saw his bits, DH and I both swore DS2 was a girl from his profile during the ultrasound. Shows how good we were at guessing. But it could go the other way, too. With DS1, we both knew he was a boy as soon as we saw his profile. In fact, my DH even said, "It's either a boy, or an ugly girl."

I can't wait to find out !!!! We will know in 2.5 weeks

 

[pinkpassion]

And I have my nt scan tomorrow so we may get a peek at the nub!!!! 13 weeks so it should be a good nub!!!

TTDuck and bakerh: try Old Navy's online maternity section. They have maternity jeans and pants in long, short, and regular sizes. I have the opposite problem and have to find places that carry petite/short sizes. Also, if you do try ON, there's a much bigger selection for maternity online than in stores.

The old navy by my work actually has in store maternity clothes! Just harder to find work slacks! 😄

Pinkpassion, I can't wait to find out, too! Good luck with your NT scan tomorrow and happy 13 weeks!!

TTDuck, that's awesome the Old Navy near your work has a better maternity section. Did they also carry long sizes? That's too bad about the selection of work slacks. I just googled maternity pants in tall sizes and found this webpage: https://www.tallswag.com/maternity/. Looks like a cool website. Too bad I have the opposite problem, lol.

 

[TTDuck]

Hmtb I have been there since I was pregnant with my DD so I'll have to check! Will need them more this time around so better get my butt over there! Lol!

 

[TTDuck]

About one more week until I get my Harmony results! I'll probably call the doctor if they don't call me the day the results are due! They are sometimes a little slow with calling about lab results!

 

[hmtb16]

I hope you find pants there, TTDuck! Will you be finding out the gender with your Harmony test results?

 

[TTDuck]

Hmtb that's the plan! How cool is it that we can now find out so early with a blood test!?

 

[busytulip]

Exciting TTDuck!

Hope you ladies are able to find some comfy pants

 

[Spiffynoodles]

I think it's crazy how the majority of the women in this group seem to be finding out the gender before 20 weeks (either through Harmony or early gender scans). I'm finding out at 14 weeks, and I've never found out that early before! It's just so cool!

So I had my booking in appointment today! Finally, at 11+2! Good appointment though! Same midwife as last time and she was positive and made me feel like 3 children is a normal, standard size family! Plus I found out that the infection I had in labour last time won't affect my care this time, which is amazing as my local maternity unit has had a major upgrade recently and is basically now a proper mlu but with a consultant on call in case of emergency! Only slight downside is that I'll be getting the gtt at 28 weeks due to family history of type 2 diabetes and a change in the way risk is assessed! Roll on Tuesday next week and my 1st scan!

Estel GTT test is standard here, is it not there? Nice to know that your care won't be any different based on infection during previous labor. Hope the next 8 days pass quickly!

Hi ladies, I'm joining a little late, but I'm due may 6th. Im 30 years old and this is my 3rd pregnancy; and I have a 6.5 year old boy. I was also diagnosed with high blood pressure at the beginning of my pregnancy and am currently taking labetalol, calcium, and low dose asprin for it. I also have an SCH. I'm team healthy baby, but we will be finding out the sex at my scan in December. I've had some pretty bad morning sickness, but I'm taking it as an inconvient but good sign. Hope you are all doing well in your pregnancies!

 

[busytulip]

welcome nicole

 

[hmtb16]

TTDuck, so exciting you'll find out the gender soon! I kind of wish I did the Harmony test now just so I could find out early, too.

Spiffy, that's awesome you're finding out at 14 weeks! Are you finding out through bloodwork or a scan?

I had a scan today (I'm 14 weeks 4 days) but the doctor couldn't see the gender because of the angle baby was in. I hope we can see at my next scan in 2 weeks. Baby's keeping me in suspense!

EstelSeren, glad to hear you had a good appointment today. I hope your scan goes well next week!

Welcome, nicole! Morning sickness is still kicking my butt, too! You're right, it isn't fun but reassuring to know things are okay. I hope yours eases up soon!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

hmtb, we're having a scan for gender at a private office. The great thing is, if they can't tell me gender, I get to come back as many time as it takes, for free! That's too bad they couldn't tell your baby's gender at your scan. I hope they can next time!

Hi Nicole! :wave:

EstelSeren, I'm glad your midwife didn't make you feel bad about having three kids. I wondered if my OB would make a comment, since she delivered my last two, but she was happy for me. (Of course, 4 kids is pretty average here in Utah).

 

[hmtb16]

Spiffy, thanks! That's awesome you can go back as many times as you want for free if they can't tell you the gender. I hope you'll be able to find out though! So excited you'll find out soon! I'm lucky my clinic does a scan at every visit and it's not too long until the next one. Fingers crossed baby will work with me, lol.
