June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Squig34]

The tests are pretty fun I'm pretty confident I know what this baby is though - I've had a strong feeling from the start as I did with my son & I was right with him.

Good luck with your scan tomorrow Bubbles! I have one this morning in just over an hour. Bit anxious still although I think it's going to go ok.

I had no idea with my son and no idea again this time gender wise! My husband was right last time though and says girl this time. Time will tell i guess but we're team so a long wait ahead!

Is anyone's stomach already protruding? My stomach was flat pre-pregnancy, and now at 9 weeks, it's definitely protruding (it gets larger as the day goes on it seems, but I also don't wake up with it flat). This is my first, so it seems too early to have a stomach.

Thanks Squig, I hope yours has gone well today, looking forward to the update. I kind of wish I'd left mine until a bit later now, but too late to cancel it.

I'm fascinated by the whole gender thing, predictions, tests etc. I was team yellow first time round and hopefully will be again, although DH is very impatient and always wants to find out. I feel like I should let him have his way this time, but seems a shame to spoil my surprise when he'll still find out eventually! All the tests and old wives tales said boy for me last time, and I was convinced boy from the start, was so shocked when my little lady arrived! We didn't even realise she was a girl for a while as we were all so convinced it was a boy we didn't bother checking! I have boy feeling again this time so who knows.

I might need to try this baking soda thing I've not heard of any of the gender tests.


I hope your scan goes well tomorrow Bubbles and welcome to the group! :wave:

Starlight32 - I'm permanently bloated - I seem to fluctuate between looking 4 months and 8 months pregnant


Feeling really ill today, I woke up at 5 am with nausea and couldn't go back to sleep.

anyone having vivid dreams yet? I dreamt I was in an action movie last night

 

[Starlight32]

I've had really vivid dreams recently (along with night sweats). I'll sleep for ten hours but still feel tired.

Welcome to the group Bubbles, i hope your scan goes well tomorrow xx

I've started using my slow cooker a bit now because by tea time the thought of preparing food turns my stomach!

Thanks Squig, I hope yours has gone well today, looking forward to the update.

Thanks, it wasn't as great as i'd have like but baby is still alive which is obviously the most important thing; otherwise the scan was only so-so. Squiggle is only measuring 6+4, 3 days bigger than last week, with hb of 138 vs 158. Apparently babys' heartbeats change the way adults' do, but it seems a big change for something that doesn't move yet. I don't have a pic because the scanner seemed pretty awful & there was just a fuzzy indistinct blob on the screen compared to the wonderfully clear shot last week.
So I haven't lost hope but I'm also not super hopeful that this pregnancy is going to turn out well. Next scan in a week, 13th at 10.15am.

 

[vaniilla]

I'm sorry to hear the scan didn't go as well as you would have liked, but it still seems positive so far, hopefully the scan next week will give you a much clearer picture and a better scanner

 

[Boo44]

Sorry it didn't go as well as it could squig, what did the sonographer say?

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I'm sorry it didn't go as well as it could have do you think there could be a discrepancy in the size because of the scan quality? The margin for error is teeny tiny at this stage isn't it?

 

[Squig34]

Sorry it didn't go as well as it could squig, what did the sonographer say?

She said there's nothing to worry about, everything is still within the normal ranges. Which is true. My history just makes me so anxious that things aren't spot on - I'm already doing everything I can with meds etc. But the midwives had no problem with me wanting to be seen weekly which is good as I don't think I could wait two weeks!

I'm sorry it didn't go as well as it could have do you think there could be a discrepancy in the size because of the scan quality? The margin for error is teeny tiny at this stage isn't it?

You're right Pixie, it was a different scanner & a different midwife so both those things can have an impact. Yes a mm or two at this stage makes a lot of difference!

omg it's been protruding. i swear since i poas. Ridiculous. already in maternity pants.

it's all bloat cause the uterus doesn't move above the pubic bone until 12 weeks.



so squig it sounds like things are alright then, no worries yet i'm sure it'll all be fine!


vanilla are you gonna do the baking soda soon? i will try if other ladies will try! then we can do it again later closer to our scans. that'll be fun lol

 

[vaniilla]

https://www.babble.com/pregnancy/which-ones-work-7-gender-prediction-tests-put-to-the-test/ this link has some other things to try

I just did the soda one and it did nothing, stayed flat which predicts girl.

the mayan thingy says girl.

the chinese chart says boy.

ring on a string says girl.

 

[mommyxofxone]

hang on i'll go take mine lol

 

[mommyxofxone]

nothing! my baking soda test was right with dd, hoping it was right again this time. will do again closer to gender scan but right now says girl

 

[Becyboo__x]

Most mine go towards girl ..

OHs mum has some strange psyic powers she's never wrong either apparently on friends babies she's predicted! Scares me a little.. but she sees a girl

 

[mommyxofxone]

my mom is like that too becy, and she saw girl for dd when everyone else said boy. and this time she says boy. like before i was even pregnant she saw a boy.

hoping she's wrong this time!!!

 

[MiraclesHappn]

I went ahead and did it but went on the baking soda instead of pouring it so I couldn't see the initial reaction so idk

 

[GeralynB]

I've had 2 different psychics tell me I was going to have a boy and a girl close in age. I already have a boy so maybe this one's a girl. They'll be 20 months apart
