June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[joeybrooks]

No extra hour and I really could have done with it. As I type I'm sitting in the car 2with Ethan asleep beside me taking this opportunity to close my eyes for Hal an hour. I've got a creak in my neck now though. Sleep when they're sleeping they say, so I gave it a go.

I think I'm too early on to be able to compare symptoms between my pregnancies the main difference is that I'm not covered in spots. It's usually the spots that make me test. I have two boys so far =).

Got up about normal time and I feel fine today ! Yay

 

[tinkerbelle93]

No extra hour sleep but it felt like we got out the house nice and early for once!

Pregnancy feels the opposite to last time but then again that was over 4 years ago. I have no feeling to whether it's a boy or girl, me and DH aren't too fussed but I'm not looking forward to the opinions of other people- I've had soo many 'I bet you want a girl next time/hopefully you'll get a girl next' ect over the past couple of years that I really hope reactions won't be unenthusiastic/disappointed if it is another lovely little boy. I know I shouldn't care but it winds me up when people say that!

We're not too fussed on gender really, but I ow old love my daughter to have a sister.

I get it all the time, three! You must be mad.
Why would you want any more you've got one of each... Blah blah....

 

[mommyxofxone]

we were sure for a while that we were done with just one- and we got all the time ' but.... don't you want to try for a boy? boys are so wonderful' right in front of my daughter. complete strangers. i have a hard time seeing the obsession with boys only because of how people act like girls are nothing!


i do hope this is another girl i would love her to have a sister. but i would be happy with either.

No extra hour for me, kids made sure of that lol. Up and watched some films and done the house work now I'm just trying to curb my sickness with rich teas.

My pregnancy this time is identical to my daughters. With my son I felt fine, no symptoms exept tiredness. With this one and Madi, I feel like death warmed up. I'm freezing all the time, I feel sick all the time. I hate food. I be sick all through the night, it's grim!

It's funny people always say they were better with boy pregnancies than girls. I think I must be an unlucky type because I was sicky with both my boys

So how much caffeine does 200mg actually equate to? I'm a terrible coffee addict and when not pregnant I'll have a flat white every day which has a huge caffeine content plus one or two Normal coffees and maybe some tea. I've actually cut right down to about one decaf coffee and one decaf tea per day now - woo! As of this morning my coffee aversion has kicked in and I'm craving tea. The exact same thing happened both of my other pregnancies

Right on cue today my nausea has built up I'm feeling so sad about it I was foolishly hoping I had missed it this time as I felt SO normal until yesterday. But I've just done two night shifts and the combination of the hangover from that plus the dreaded 6 week mark has had me feeling like crap today. I've felt a low level nausea all day and most of the afternoon slept on the sofa. I'm terrified this time I think I might have proper anxiety over it. I want to be able to look after my house like i like to, and do things and enjoy things with my boys like usual, not worry over how on earth I'm going to get through each day caring for them. Feel like I could cry!

Also who knows about the old wives tales is it right that crave sweet stuff it's a girl and crave salty it's a boy? Because I've been craving salt salt salt! And add that to the nausea appearing to the DAY the same as my others plus the tea cravings and coffee aversion, I'm fairly sure I have boy number 3 on board!

Sorry to hear your nausea has appeared on cue. I would fully recommed Cyclizine, my nausea is now bearable during the day and I'm usually only sick once first thing in the morning, before I couldn't even sip water until later in the afternoon and I had a normal breakfast today and even half a coffee!!

I have a feeling mine is another boy too as my symptoms are the same as with Micah so far. Do you have any more boy names?

I was the same with Jack and Freddie and again now! For a boy I like Henry, Arthur, George and Hugo - very traditional! I think OH may take some persuading on Hugo though!

Does the cyclizine make you drowsy or nauseous without vomiting? I'm always terrified of side effects. But if it ramps up I'm off to get cyclizine for sure sounds like it's great for you!

I'm still nauseous on and off but a lot less than without them, and I don't think I'm any more tired than I would be anyway.. Which is exhausted lol, but not a drugged sort of drowsiness. The only side effect I had was I felt jittery for the first 24-36 hours, like I'd had too many coffees, but that's gone now.

 

[mommyxofxone]

Depends on the person Hun. My boss had a terrible time with er boy. Was much easier with her girl.

Sil was way worse with the boy than either girl. My aunt had a terrible time with her boy too and sailed through with her girl.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

People only get ruder... We have two boys and I can only imagine how bad the "I hope u get a girl" comments are going to be. I'm happy either way really. But OMG it's annoying. Makes me want to wait until we know the gender to announce!

Oh definitely join the club! People say to me 'are you going to go for a girl one day?' and these are people that have no idea I'm pregnant and no idea about me at all really! I'm trying really hard to just say something like that would be lovely and a healthy little boy would be lovely too!

In fact just this pm we were at the in-laws and they don't know yet. They have 5 grandchildren under 5 (including mine obv) and only one of them is a girl. My MIL was saying ooh I wonder how another girl would change the dynamics... Of course everyone was looking at me because my SIL and BIL are done and dusted. Makes me want a girl more for them than myself!! Sigh

 

[MiraclesHappn]

I had the easiest pregnancy ever with my daughter. Was never ever nauseous. This time around I've had some nausea, nothing compared to what some of you are experiencing. Besides being tired in addition to that it's pretty close to my first pregnancy so far but just the couple differences make me lean more towards boy.

haha, it's the exact same with my our parents, all grand sons. So not a girl in sight !! So everyone always looks to us... ughh, it feels like pressure

I was chatting with a colleague and I said two would be my max and she said I bet you don't say that if you have another boy, you'll want to go for a girl! There is no way that I would consider a third child that I couldn't support financially or really be young enough for, just because of the sex! I'd be so happy with another boy, I genuinely don't mind!

Same with me. We're only having 2 children. If we have another boy then we'll have 2 boys and I'm perfectly happy with that

Me too! We couldn't afford more than two and I couldn't care for more than two. And I quite like the idea of two boys!

Two boys is absolutely wonderful I adore my life! I never would have said that until I had them because I would always have assumed I'd like girls as I'm quite a girly girl. But my word, if you get two boys you will be just as blessed! I literally thank God for them every single day x

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I would love a 3rd, regardless of whether this one is a girl or boy, I just like the idea of a big-ish busy family. But that will be something we think about in a couple of years and completely dependent on what our finances look like, but will feel incredibly blessed either way.

 

[mommyxofxone]

In our family there are five girl grandchildren and my sil is due with the first boy in Feb.
