Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

Wow, lots to catch up on! Welcome to the new group members. And lovely to see all the scans! Good luck to all with appointments coming up.

My scan this afternoon went very well. NT measurement was 1.2mm, and there were no problems to be seen. After the problems with my angel, that's just what I needed to see. Any guesses? I'm still sort of thinking girl.

since we're on the topic, this is my first preg...is it weird that my bbs have not gotten that much bigger, if at all? I'm only about 10 weeks. They have been "fuller" since about 4 weeks, but definitely haven't gone up any sizes or anything, and are less sore (but still a little). It seems like so many people are busting out already, haha. I was small to begin with (barely 34B, sometimes wear 34 or 36A--I've never been properly fit heh).

I can't say this is a proven fact, but from my personal experience and that of all the women in my family (we have 13 kids and this baby will be the 22nd grandkid) those carrying girls tend to get big boobs really early on and they grow a ton, those carrying boys grow but definitely not as fast or as big until after baby is born and milk comes in. Again, not saying everyone would agree, but I have seen it to be true in my friends, family ect. I guess it's kids like some of the old wives tales (carrying high/low ect) could be accurate to many people and not to others :)
 
Manda- do u have another shot too? I wanted to take a nub guess :)
By theory I would guess girl, but my first thought when I looked, before theories, I thought boy.
Congrats!

Tower--wow, I have never heard of that! I have two close friends that have had kids (so I've been around for their pregnancies) and actually, that seems pretty true! One had a girl and she GREW lol and now she is preg with a boy and it definitely is not the same. My other had a boy and I'd say I didn't notice a huge difference, either. Hmm...I have had this feeling it was a girl (based off of no real reason ha) but now this really has me thinking! :) Thanks for the cool thought! And thanks for reassuring me that I'm not a freak...I was looking forward to some bbs because I have never really had any, lol, I guess they'll come one of these days... ;)
 
With my girls my boobs were ginormous! They are always big (32dd) but they get soooooo huge when I'm pregnant and this time they grew but maybe just a cup so far and mostly they're just really full. With the girls i needed new bras before maternity pants. They blew up! This time my bra is tight but I'm still in the 32dd that i was already wearing i just wear a sports bra to help the spill over lol thats one of the main reasons im guessing boy this time. I'm definitely WISHFUL thinking ;) I just cant stand my boobs right now because I look really pale and puffy rather than tan like normally so you can see the old stretcharks now. I can't wait to get a tan goin and feel like I "look thinner" haha I might be nuts but I always feel better when I have a tan and some bronzer on haha I can wear an outfit and not like it an then put on some self tanner and instantly feel like I look thinner in the same outfit lol
I have found the boob theory to be crazily true (in my own poll of people) and its fun to actually look on bump threads and see once people find out what they're having if the boob thing was right and unless they have their breast done (too hard to tell the difference cux they're big no matter what lol) then you tend to see the girly boobs a lot bigger than the boy mommies :) just a thought for fun!

Could not agree more!!! I have stretch marks (and cellulite... :blush:) all over my butt and thighs, and I feel so much more toned and fit when I am tanned or bronzed up!
 
Wow peanut, thanks for the info. I have a Kohls just down the street. Maybe I can convince dh to watch dd for a bit tonight. :-)

Tower, your theory seems true if I'm having a boy this time! My boobs grew massively right away with dd and haven't grown at all yet this time. I think it's cuz I'm still nursing though but I'm really starting to hope for a boy even though I really feel like it's a girl. :-)
 
So I just called and asked if my blood work was in and they called back and gave me tons of numbers I don't think I even understood most but there is a negative result for Edwards syndrome which is GREAT! My odds for that were 1:7,400 and that was great but there was a rusk still for downs and with my age the odds cut off for high risk is 1:220 and my risk after the scan and blood is 1:75 :( so still a risk for downs.... I am on the way now to get the materniT21 test done which will give us a 99.1% accuracy of chromosomal problems. This test is just as good as the CVS they say except that there is no risk of miscarriage or infection like the cvs. It does take 2 weeks for results :( so that is going to be very hard but I headed there now sp that I will know ASAP.
 
Nice scan pic manda I was thinking girl looking at the pic :)
Bubs aww ill say boy hehe congrats !
Dream.dream welcome here Hun hope u enjoy here :)
 
Tower good luck for u other test! What a stress for u :( u waited for these tests now one more I hope this one makes everything fine I hope u get good results and relax:) and finally enjoy ur time with ur baby ill pray for u! :)

This wasn't true for me-- when I was pregnant with DS my boobs were insanely out of control! I was buying new bras monthly! Not any bigger at all with this one yet, but likely because I'm still nursing (which HURTS by the way!!)
 
Tower good luck :hugs:

Morning everyone, it looks like its going to be a nice day, yay! & it's may, which means only 6 months to November :)
 
Tower, at least in two weeks you will have answers. Good news so far though.
 
Tower - Im glad to hear there were negative results for Edwards syndrome, im sorry there is still a downs risk and you have to have further tests but 1:75 is better than 1:5 . Imagine being stood in a room with 75 other people, thats a lot. I really hope these next tests give you the answers you want and need.

Good luck for scans and appointments - I know Gemie has hers, who else?

xx
