Me too.

Does anyone have any instinct as to what gender you are having?

I am almost certain this one is a boy because I feel AWFUL! I felt great with my daughter and ill with my son so I would be very surprised if it was a girl x x x

I am thinking Boy for some reason. Can't really explain it, but I will not know till September some time. I would be happy with either though as long as he or she is healthy.

Are you finding out?

Yes! I couldn't wait, it would drive me crazy!

Same! We didn't find out with DD which was wonderful but I was so impatient towards the end!

as for boy or girl, i keep going back and forth. for my son, i'd love it if he had a brother 14 months younger than him, but i really would love to have a girl this time around too!

i keep going back and forth - i have no idea.

Hey haven't been on here in a few days. Thought I would update on here and ask for some prayers. I'm 8 weeks right now and this morning around 3 am I started bleeding and cramping. I went to the ER and they said it was old blood and my cervix is closed so they thought it might be ok. Then they got my HCG levels back from the lab and they only measured for about 5-6 weeks. The doctor didn't look very hopeful. So I'm trying to prepare myself. I'm so tired of this roller coaster. Although I must admit babies are worth it. Thanks for listening ladies, this website has really helped. I see my OBGYN Monday for US and HCG recount.

Just got back from one week´s holiday in St Lucia. So I have now good news and bad news.

Bad news: I spent the night in hospital as I started bleeding on our second day of our holiday. Didn´t suspect a thing. Felt totally chilled out and relaxed, was just sitting having breakfast and had to go to the bathroom. Saw bright red blood and lots of it and was terrified. Hotel called a GP who arrived at the hotel in minutes and checked to see if bleeding was from cervix and if it was closed. He called the local private hospital and I took a taxi to A&E.

Was still bleeding, they did an US and baby was alive, heartbeat strong but there was subchorionic bleeding visible on US so they admitted me to keep an eye on bleeding and to see what would happen next. I didn´t have any pain but was told to rest in bed. Bleeding progressed to darker, older looking blood with clots but cervix was still closed.

Bleeding subsided during the night with just some old brown blood coming through and they did an additional US the next day, bleeding still visible on US but seemed to be smaller than previous scan so I was sent back to hotel to rest and they said to come back if I started bleeding again. The specialist said that I had an 85% chance of everything progressing normally but that I had had a threatened miscarriage.

I´ve just arrived back home and there is no bleeding or spotting now and I have my first midwife appointment on Monday so will check what to do next with her. Was a complete shock and dead frightening but am feeling much better now, just thought I would share to see if anyone else had had a similar experience.

Good news: bf had arranged a sunset cruise and proposal for the day I spent in hospital. Poor thing had to rearrange it all in secret but hotel were wonderful and set up a private gazebo on the beach so he could surprise me on the next day. Absolutely lovely. x

Hi! Congrats on the proposal!!!

I too was on vacation a week ago and on the second day I started having heavy bleeding. I too was diagnosed with a subchorionic bleed by the ER doctor but baby looked perfect. Since then I have seen my doctor, and there is still a small bleed though I have not bled since. She placed me on bed rest for the time being till it goes away. My next scan isn't till the 25th so I hope it is gone then. It was very scary though!

Goodluck on Monday!!!!!

Oooh another question, for those of you with children already, when/how are you planning on telling them? Dylan thinks there is a train in my tummy as he heard the doppler, and I am happy for him to think that for a good while yet, due to my previous MCs I don't want to tell him and then have him upset, and Bethany is too young to understand.

I was thinking of after the 20 week scan sitting them down and showin them the scan pic and just explaining it to them, I don't want to make a huge deal of it because Dylan has emotional issues and I don't want him feeling pushed out. x x x

I tell mine pretty much right away. I get morning sickness pretty bad so I want them to know why I feel so gross. My son calls the baby jelly belly and gives my belly a kiss everynight and says I love you jelly belly!. It is very cute. He thinks when the baby is ready we will just go to the doctor and pic it up. Thats what he remembers of his younger sister, we got her at the doctors lol

 

[WhisperOfHope]

its only half 6 and im ready for my bed at least i have an excuse 6.30 on a sat night im so rock and roll
