They say the MaterniT21 tests doctors are doing at 10-12 weeks to test for trisomies will tell you the sex of the baby. It's only a blood test, so no need for invasive procedures if you go that route.

 

[Katiie]

Welcome lovely ladies!

So here's my little question of the day...
Will you be finding out the sex?


My answer,
Nope! Team yellow all the way

 

[allforthegirl]

I don't think they do that up here.....

Yes absolutely!! I will be surprised when we find out no different when the baby comes out.... I am a planner, I like to be ready and I don't want yellow. I am not a big fan of it!!

That stinks.

My sentiments exactly. I like to have everything ready, and I don't like yellow clothes. My babies never look good in them.

I don't want to find out but the oh does... I think I can convince him to wait. His argument is re: gender neutral stuff and wanting to plan as well. I don't like yellow but I love greens and neutrals. They only wear they're newborn stuff for a little while anyways, you can go all blue or pink for the next size lol and we won't have any shortage of spoiling with this lil bub... First grandchild, I'm sure shower aside everyone will go and shop once baby is born lol

 

[Katiie]

We are staying yellow! My reasons:

1. You push harder
2. Your more motivated in labour (well I was!!)
3. I asked for my bf to tell me the sex of our first born. It was the most perfect and special moment when he told me, with tears in his eyes, that he was a he (check my birth story if you like)
4. Newborn babies in white!! Hellooooo cutest thing ever.
5. Telling everyone he was a he & had been born... Perfect.
6. It's more exciting to keep guessing!

My son at 1 week old
In white!
AND grumpy after his first bath

We aren't having a nursery,
As we only have a 2 bed.
So nothing to decorate.

We are having a woodland theme, so light greens

 

[allforthegirl]

Those are great reasons Katie!!

Though I am not in agreeance with the whole "you push harder thing" just because you don't know what it is. You are going to push just as hard because no matter if you know or don't you just want to see and hold your little one in your arms finally.

The only thing that has hindered me pushing is being too numb from the epidural, because I could not feel myself pushing. One of the reasons I will going natural this time.

 

[Katiie]

that was something I was told.... But I wouldn't be able to say or not. As I've only done it the one time

Your body takes over when it comes to pushing anyway

 

[Katiie]

I just noticed...

THERE'S A MARCH 2014 BABY GROUP!!
Suddenly we aren't the newest group anymore!

 

[OurLilFlu]

Yes I'm kinda thinking a jungle theme / safari! And yes white is nice but how do you keep it clean lol I know I can't on myself hahah and I would love to have that moment with Kurtis!! Ahh I hope I can sway him!

 

[ksilme]

Well, I want to find out the sex, so I can be prepared, but hubby is dead set against finding out although the thought of him telling me if Lo is a boy or girl at the birth does sound like an amazing experience
I have found myself saying 'she' but I have been told several times in the past that my first child would be a boy x

I def heard heartbeat, although very quiet and brief, the doppler couldn't pick up the rate as it was too quiet, i videoed it, but my phone picked up the static sound more than anything

 

[Likklegemz]

I'm not going to find out, I want the suprise like Katie said.

I'm getting scared and excited at the thought of our next ultrasound scan - 2 weeks on Monday and it can't come quick enough.

I've got a question though for everyone... Is it safe to have a leg and bikini wax whilst in the first trimester? I've got a wedding and a holiday in late July early August so was going to get my legs waxed for this - now I'm not sure. Will it hurt more if I do it? X x

 

[Katiie]

It might hurt more...

But I wouldn't know. I shave

 

[crysshae]

I've heard bikini waxes can cause you to bleed more because of the extra blood flow.

 

[Dancerforlife]

Yes! I will be finding out as early as possible. Neither DH nor I have the patience to wait was a special moment for us finding out in the ultrasound

Waxing will hurt more but it's not dangerous to do so, my sister did the same when she had a holiday and couldn't see that area to shave haha

Happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans! Hope everyone is having a safe and fun holiday! We took DD to the parade this morning and she loved it, waved at all the floats to get lots of candy so much so that I have to go wake her from her marathon nap (4 hrs eek). So fun to have these little moments with her and know that I get to do it all over again with LO!

 

[Baileeboo77]

I am constipated badly, went to the bathroom and pushed my heart out even put my leg on the counter tmi, when I wiped my cm was tented pink. Im soooo scared, I do not want another mc , I just wwnt my bean to be okay. I have an appt tomorrow and I could just cry all night.

 

[allforthegirl]

Waxing is totally cool while PG.

OMG you should never push that hard to poo.... I am sure the bleeding was just you pushing too hard, and baby is just fine. Are you sure the blood wasn't from the other hole?

 

[Baileeboo77]

Im sure, it was in my cm, and tje cm was tented pink. I know I shouldn't but I just wanted it out. I haven't had a regular bm since like last Friday

Im so scared, but I do remember my last mc when I started spotting it didnt stop, so as long as rhere is no spotting or pink cm I think ill be okay. Im super upset though.

 

[OurLilFlu]

It's definitely just from trying to have a bm, happened to me over the weekend but I didn't pay too much mind, it was very light pink and did not continue. Just try to relax and get lots of fluid and fibre
