(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[elleff]

Ajcart that is so scary!! They should warn us about that! I am so nervous about these things as my job involves me going to lots of different people's houses everyday and work with lots of kids! I rely on the parents being honest with me as to whether anyone is sick or not and it scares me!

 

[threegirls]

Congrats on the scans ladies. All the pics are adorable!!

I had my first appointment yesterday and everything went well. I still have to go back sometime and have blood work done. I have my first ultrasound scheduled for the 28th so 27 more days I can't wait and of course we will be able to hear the heartbeat then too!!

I'm hoping that the ultrasound will help to get my husband more excited. Even though this baby is our 4th and it's planned it just seems like he's not as thrilled as he was with the previous pregnancies (of course it could always be my crazy hormones making me feel this way)

I seriously love seeing everyone's scans on here as well as heart rates! I know that there's nothing 'proven' about heart rate and gender but i'm having fun over here comparing anyways keep posting ladies.

Ps; What does everyone think they're having at this point? And why??

I'm thinking boy, although we're team pink - just because everything has been so EASY so far.

Would love to hear back from you ladies!!

I'd like a little girl as they are so cute and I love the idea of having a daughter but to be honest I just want to make it to term with a healthy baby! For some reason I just cannot imagine me with a boy! I will be over the moon either way though!

I'ma bit like you... both DH and I are really team pink, but I think I'm having a boy. Not sure why, except that every time we talk about bump my gut reaction is to say 'he' instead of 'she', which I know means nothing lol. Also, my ticker said up until today that baby was the size of a poppyseed so that's what we've been calling it, and it always made me feel a bit weird because it seemed wrong to give it such a 'girly' name. Lol, just silly things really! Of course we'll be thrilled with either a boy or a girl - I jsut want to meet my baby!

With my daughter her heart rate was in the boy range until about 12 weeks and then it was in the girl range!

I didn't ask my dr what the heart rate was on my last scan. I'll have to see where it's at next time.

I have had several dreams that I'm having a girl but this pregnancy is a lot different from my daughters so far. I had absolutely no ms with her and I gained weight really fast early on I had a bump by 6 weeks with her! With this pregnancy I have a lot of evening nausea and I've lost weight and my stomach still looks flat so going by that maybe it is a boy

Oh and this is weird but looking back at my ultrasound pics from my dd they are the exact opposite from this baby! She was always up in the top left corner of the sac and attached there too where as this one has stuck to the bottom right. I think if this baby is a girl she will have a much different personality than my daughter.

[Suzy_Q]

I think I'm having a boy. Not sure why, but that's what I think. Oh, and because my morning sickness is minimal, I think that is linked to a boy. Either way, I'm happy with a healthy baby!

 

[Kaiecee]

All I know this cramp I get because of indigestion feels like its killing me I'm calling the dr tomorrow

 

[Dynamicmae]

How's everyones MS? I'm really struggling with all day nausea! I pray my way through my days and wish they over before they've even started. Its horrible

 

[hope4rainbow]

MS has just begun for me. I feel icky when I wake up before I eat, and again around 3-5 before dinner. I'm glad for every pain, sickness, and soreness!

I think we're having a girl. He thinks we're having a boy. Bases covered! His parents are convinced it's a girl too.

We'll both be thrilled just to see our baby's heartbeat healthy next Wednesday! Our m/c in October was rough, we've been hoping for this little rainbow.

 

[DHBH0930]

I'm hoping for girl and he is hoping for boy... I don't have any gut feeling about what it is so far...I can't wait for the gender scan in a few months!!!

I have been so incredibly tired for weeks now... I can't go a day with out a nap, and especially after a work day I feel so drained that even taking a shower sounds like a huge task. I feel so useless, I'm not getting anything done and constantly asking my husband to do everything. So far he hasn't complained but I'm ready to have some energy back! Also ready to have a normal appetite. I haven't been sick enough to throw up (only that one time) but I just feel mildly queasy all day. Nothing sounds good to eat, not even carbs anymore. But I have noticed that if I force myself to eat something I'm able to finish it no problem. Its more the thought of food that sickens me then actually eating it.

Oh and TMI I have been so gassy and constipated! I think I only go every 3-4 days! I've been forcing myself to start eating better hoping that might help fix my irregularity, so far not helping.

Sweet note, I had copies made of our ultrasound picture so I can give one to each of our parents and such. My husband on his own asked if there is one for him to take to work to put up on his wall with the pics of us He is not one that has been CRAZY about the idea of having kids, he was neutral toward the idea, and since I want them so bad we agreed to start our family. So its so nice to see him getting excited about our baby

 

[Kaiecee]

Ms has started for me and I'll end up having it till the end

 

[DrGomps]

DHB...I LOVE your scan pic!! are you taking colace??? that helps with constipation...I am having the same problem...its VERY unpleasant!!

Brit, glad all looks well!! Beautiful scan piccy!!

AFM...I had my first OB appt yesterday...nothing too exciting...had a pap that made me spot alittle...it stopped quickly and it happened with DD so I am not too worried...weight, urinanalysis, blood tests...etc... I have the same Dr so she didn't need to give me all the first pregnancy lectures...she told me my exercising is fine and she promised she wouldn't give me a hard time about my weight gain...since I lost all the weight and then some after I had my daughter...she says only a few people do that...I swear during pregnancy the Lbs just STICK to me!!

But I did get my first scan date..a week from tomorrow. I can't wait! We are going to stay at a beach house in the hamptons this weekend so luckily I have fun things to help pass the time...

I am having a bit of nausea...no puking yet...but lots of dry retching..protein seems to keep the nausea at bay...


here is my six week bump

I am exactly like you!! I am always so tired! It sucks too because OH lives in another country and there's a 4 hour time difference so by the time he gets home in the evening I'm not real talkative and I stay awake like an hour and I have to go to bed. It sucks but in a few months when he gets here and we get our gender scan and everything it will be all great.

 

[elleff]

I'm super tired too, all the time. My eyes are stinging from morning til night and I am falling asleep on the sofa at about 9pm every night. I am so boring!! I am also throwing up a couple of times a day but tr nausea is on and off all day.
I'm actually stressed over it now because I never know when it's going to hit and its affecting my work. I do love it at the same time though, such a strong reassuring symptom!

 

[Lara310809]

No MS here, touch wood it continues this way. I'm hungry, but when I eat I feel so uncomfortable for HOURS, the suddenly I'm hungry again, but I don't WANT to eat. It's so strange. Bloating a bit now, but I wear stretchy clothes so it doesn't matter too much

 

[diamondlove33]

I feel you ladies, I work at a computer all day everyday and my goodness I am going to slam my head on the keyboard from falling asleep if I don't get some relief fast - whats worse is it seems like even when I get a TON of sleep, It doesn't matter! Still exhausted. ugh!!

 

[ready2Bmum]

Hi all. I have a question.... Have cheap internet tests at home and every so often I do one (just cause!) I did one yesterday and the test line was lighter than the control. They had gotten to the stage where the two lines were the same. I did another today and the same thing.

My nausea has really kicked in. Yesterday was awful,I took ginger and wore sea bands today so it wasnt so bad. I have back ache and tiredness too.

You think the test is anything to worry about???
