jessicaftl-I was team yellow the first 2, but not sure about this time because I think I might want the kids to feel closer to a baby "brother" or "sister", iykwim. I'm a light sleeper too, but since my husband's surgery he has to sleep in a special bed for awhile so I've been letting the little ones sleep with me because I get lonely! Yay for the 12 week milestone!
bdb84- I understand the need to plan for a boy or girl, but I've never liked the color pink and I was glad we stayed team yellow for my first because all the gifts were gender neutral and so not only did I not get tons of pink things for gifts (first was a girl) but everything worked for my second, a boy, which was great because I had him a week after moving into my new house in a different part of the state and we didn't have time to do much shopping! It sounds like this is going to be a busy week for you! Make sure to try and rest, even though I know that's hard.
StarGazerRose- I'm sorry you didn't get a scan, but you will soon. I have had bad pregnancy brain too! It makes it difficult to get things done when I keep forgetting what I am doing! I've been getting really hot, not cold, but it probably has to do with hormones and stuff for both of us. I also had problems with insurance and didn't get an appointment until 9 weeks but everything is finally settled now but it is a pain with all the stuff you have to do to get things sorted. Yay for your scan on Wednesday!
markswife10- That's a great heartbeat! It is relieving to see or hear that little noise, isn't it? I have IBS and nausea normally and ginger tea and eating small bits more frequently seems to help a bit, even though I actually don't like the taste of ginger.
Mrs.Duck- It sounds like everyone is having bad nausea! Hopefully everyone will feel better the more we all progress.
Buttercupbabi- I'm glad your symptoms are calming down! It makes it easier to get things done when we don't feel awful Vall the time. How cool that you might be feeling something!
AFM- I had my daughter's 7th birthday party and it was a huge success and everyone had lots of fun but my feet are still hurting and I'm still tired and I know I looked tired, but since I haven't told anyone yet I didn't have an excuse for them! I tried to hear the heartbeat before but didn't so I made myself put it away until 11 weeks and last night I tried again and we heard it after only looking for a few minutes!
It was so nice to hear! I never really had symptoms before with my other pregnancies and didn't at first with this one until I started taking the progesterone. I'm wondering if maybe I either don't make enough or it's borderline so that's why I had the miscarriages and no symptoms with my successful pregnancies. I never had it measured before or took it before, but I had a different doctor.
I was just wondering about something. I don't know with this one, but with my first I had an anterior placenta and it took forever to feel the movements and also made it hard to hear the heartbeat. I also had horrible back labor and she ended up being sunny side up. Has anyone else had both? I am wondering if the anterior placenta makes it hard for baby to face the correct way towards the end.
I cannot wait to start guessing gender based on 12 week scans.
