Geralyn - how accurate is sexing based on a 14 week ultrasound? X

 

[karlilay]

You lot are so good at keeping secrets! I told everyone already, I look like death most of the time, and I'm always throwing up....

Glad everyone's scans are all going ok, can't wait for mine next week

It's accurate if they can see. It can sometimes be difficult to see depending on positioning etc. My sister is a sono tech and said if she can't see she'll do an internal and will definitely be able to see. I found out whit my son at 15 weeks

Anyone else have really greasy hair? I washed it 6 hours ago and it looks like I've left it a week.

My scan is one week today!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

My hair is always greasy

Everytime I cough my stomach hurts really low down . Has this happened to anyone else? I feel like I just can't relax at all till this spotting stops

 

[tinkerbelle93]

My hair is very greasy too, and my skin is also really bad! I hope that is something else that will settle in 2nd tri?

Joo I'd love to involve my son in an announcement but I know it would go wrong haha. I think I will stick with putting a scan pic in the card. I hadn't thought about Facebook announcing, I didn't have Facebook when I was pregnant last time. I have it now but it's relatively small with mainly family members so I probably won't bother.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I think it's been discussed before but who's staying team yellow and who's finding out? If you're finding out, how many weeks will it be at?

We're now 100% on staying team as we found out last time and would like to experience not knowing x

I get this too, It hurts more when I sneeze though and if i'm not curled up it's a sudden shooting pain, I also get if I suddenly lean over to get something, it's a common thing you get from pulling the ligaments which are already pretty stretched.

 

[gaiagirl]

3 pages of posts since I went to bed lol! I can't keep up!

I'm pretty sure we are staying yellow.

 

[vaniilla]

Squig34 - That's fantastic news! I'm really happy for you

we're just going tell them, I suggested doing something cute to dh but he said no We won't be doing a Facebook announcement - we didn't do it with ds either, we'll announce it after lo is born.


I have a 3 hour car journey this evening as we're visiting family for the weekend and I'm terrified, I get car sick at the best times and I'm not sure how the morning sickness will affect it since I can't take my travel tablets

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I thought we were staying team yellow but DH now wants to know. I guess we'll wait and see what happens at the 20week scan.
I haven't told a single person, except DH and plan to keep it that way as long as possible! It definitely won't be until 14 weeks anyway after our NT scan so I know I have another month at least of keeping it a secret. I like the secretness of it. My bloat is out of control so I've been wearing baggy jumpers and a coat whenever I see anyone! Xx

 

[SecondNote]

My skin is horrible right now. I have been getting giant pimples on my face. It's like I'm 13 all over again. lol

 

[AngelofTroy]

I think we are staying team yellow, we did last time but for some reason I'm much more tempted this time! I think because we would love one a girl at some point. If this bub is a girl I'd be keen to stop at 2 children as my body doesn't take pregnancy well and I would love our family to be complete.. But saying that I would love another boy, it definitely wouldn't disappoint me to have another boy but I would be more likely to try for a third I think.

 

[SecondNote]

I am definitely going to find out the gender. I am too impatient to wait lol. I have 1 boy, and while I would love to have a girl I will be just as happy with another boy. We are 2 and done no matter what.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

We'll definitely find out.

It doesn't matter what we have we are done at two. We've spent the last 8 years since we got married ttc and struggling to conceive. I'm tired and I don't ever want to do it again. I just don't want my son to be an only child.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

After lots of thinking, I reckon we may well be finished after this one. I always envisioned 3 children but it just doesn't seem practical for us on so many levels whereas 2 works perfectly. I'm only going to be 23 when this one is born though and it seems so young to be totally finished, plus I don't know if I'll change my mind and want another as could potentially have the chance to for a fair few more years. DH isn't too bothered either way.

 

[karlilay]

This ones defiantly the last for us. And ill be finding out gender asap, I can't wait to find out what it is....

I'm not bothered either way what we have, but I would like a sister for my daughter.

Pixie I get this too right across my bikini line and a bit higher, I have to bring my knees up to cough or sneeze, also if I stand up to quickly it hurts. I'm thinking it's round ligament pain?? I never got it with my first but heard the term mentioned quite a lot.

 

[Boo44]

Brothers are gorgeous too karlilay - the bond my sons have fills my heart over and over again!

It's so hard isn't it, I would like a girl because I don't have one! But how could I possibly not want another beautiful little man! Whatever the weather we are done at 3

My oldest was found to have a multi cystic dysplastic kidney at my 20 week scan with him, and because of that we had to have a 16/40 scan last time to check baby's kidneys. So I'm assuming they'll say to do that again, and if I DID want to find out the gender I guess that would be the perfect time. I'm just a bit scared to find out, I genuinely can't decide whether I want to or not! OH just says he'll go along with whatever I want x

Edit - I tried to 'sway' for a girl in a very relaxed sort of fashion but it went a bit wrong lol. I read that you should DTD a few days before ovulation but I ovulated 3 days earlier than I thought I was going to, and ended up DTD only one day before! There was also a lot of stuff about changing diet but I couldn't do that! So I'm fairly sure it didn't make any difference. Also my symptoms are exactly the same as with my two boys so I'm sure we're destined for a life of blue

 

[joo]

I will be finding out! Not in my nature to hold out for the surprise. We found out with DD but I wasn't 100% convinced, we kept it a secret and said we didn't know I didn't want a mound of pink things, I prefer everything in neutral so it can be reused. I originally wanted 4, then after DD I decided 3, but realistically if this one is a boy then we'll probably stop there even though I would love another girl. I am.really not enjoying being pregnant so far this time. OH said he'd like to have 2 and then have another a little later in life if we're able.
