I think they say dating is accurate between 11-14 weeks! Normally before then I think it's only normally a few days out!

Well me and DS are having a lazy Sunday today, both in our pjs and dressing gowns hehe eating roses and watching fireman Sam....DD has been at SILs all weekend, it's been very quiet she should be home within the hour I think....SIL is off for a private gender scan this afternoon - feeling slightly jealous, I know we won't be able to afford a gender scan this time round so will find out at 20 weeks, think SIL is 16 weeks.
Anyone else having a private scan? We did with DD, found out at 16 weeks, it was soo much nicer than a hospital scan, very personal and much better quality too, also they put it on a big projector screen wish we could do it again this time round!

Also anyone planning to stay team yellow??

I thought about staying team yellow, but I know there's just no way we could hold out. We're going to get a private scan at 15+4 which will be Christmas eve. We're going to have them seal it in an envelope and open it Christmas morning. I haven't been this excited for Christmas since I was a little girl!

Welcome to the newcomers!

Hi shellgirl - what do you and the rest of the ladies on here mean by "private scan"? I figured that a lot of people here are outside of the US, so their health care system is completely different than ours, but you're in Chicagotoo so I'm just wondering what that means for you. Thanks.

There's a place in Oak Park that does private ultrasounds and you can get a gender scan done as early as 15 weeks and they can tell 91% of the time. If for any reason they can't tell, you can come in again the next week for free. The website is: https://www.oakparkultrasound.com/

Thanks for that info! Sounds like something we may want to look into.

Do any of the other ladies on this thread horseback ride? (Or really, do any sport that can be considered hazardous?) I ride about 3-4 times a week, mostly hunter/jumper. I've cut back quite a bit on any jumping since getting my BFP, but now I've noticed that I'm being overly cautious/careful even when doing simple flatwork (in an indoor arena), which is not always a good thing. Fear is a rider's #1 enemy, and lately I feel like I'm constantly analyzing what can go wrong instead of enjoying my favorite activity in the world. My doc did say that I can ride as long as I feel comfortable, but I may stop at some point in the second trimester once my center of gravity shifts from the growing bump. My DH would rather that I stop riding right now, since I have taken a few spills in my time, but that just comes with the territory. I just can't imagine not doing it for the next 8+ months - I think I'd go insane

I do alot of 4-wheeling- not exactly the same but still bumpy trails going pretty fast- I did it through my pregnancy for hours at a time with my last and never had trouble- but did have a little spotting after at about 8 months so I quit

Urghhhhhhhh girls I'm having a mini freakout. How does anyone cope with two children?!

From what I can tell, there are two options:
1) Put child number 1 in nursery so you can nap a bit and get shit done in the day when baby naps (at £40 a day locally, the option is not financially possible)
2) NEVER EVER SLEEP and struggle with a noisy toddler constantly waking a baby up during the day (i wish i had £40 a day)

I'm cooking baby number 4.
You will be surprised how well you handle it. My kids never went to nursery. You'll do great

Ok ladies quick question my nausea is still driving me insane but it's get to the point where the texture of food is making me feel sick, spaghetti bolognase for example the thought of the meat and the texture is making me feel I'll

Is anyone else getting nausea from the texture of food??

Yes! Texture plays a huge part in mine

At first I thought I was having a girl, I just kind of "knew" it from the beginning. But now that the ms has kicked in full swing, this pregnancy is pretty close to my last so now I think it's a boy!! That just means that we'll have to try for baby #3 later

Hello Ladies! I am glad I found this forum!

I found out 2 weeks ago that I was pregnant (after being mis-diagnosed with PCOS) and then last week found out that I was 6 weeks pregnant.

I even got to hear the heartbeat at my appointment, this is my #1 so that was AMAZING! It literally took my breath away because I was NOT expecting to hear a heartbeat so early! I was having severe pain on my left side so was worried the baby was ectopic which is why I had the ultrasound... everything looked good though! Thank goodness!

I am 7 +1 today, due June 17th!

Will you allow another June bump to join?!

Hi y'all
My gut (as well as the Chinese gender prediction calendar and the ring swing) say we are having a boy. Had that feeling since we found out. Had the same type of feeling with my girl, and it was right on, but time will tell.
My SIL is also pg, and she just found out today that her baby has a 3.5mm nuchal translucency measurement. She will be going to a specialist for more tests Monday, so please keep her in your thoughts.
My first scan is a week from tomorrow! I'm very excited, but also paranoid since I didn't get my BFP until I was 6 + 1 past my LMP. Hcg tripled from 6+2 to 6+4, so my doc wasn't concerned, just thinks I'm not as far along as that and that my due date may wind up as much as 2 weeks further than June 8. I'm getting more and more anxious the closer the day of the scan gets.

Two kids went way more smoothly for me than I thought. DD was 2 and quite a hand full. She stopped napping right as DD#2 was born. I started finding safe things for her to do while I rested on the couch with her during the baby's nap. You'd be surprised how a child who demands all your time adjusts so easily- Trust me you'll still get some sleep- At least I did- I needed to sleep and so a bag of cheerios in my bed with 2 little girls, one nursing and one watching mickey mouse is how we spent every morning until about 9:30 am

galz i thnk i m out.coz dr says itz misd.coz m 9wkz today bt dey markd me 5.5wkz n no fetal echoes seen

Hiya,

I hope all you ladies are doing well.

Sad to say but I had scan on Friday and found that I have blighted ovum, so sac, placenta is there but baby has not developed.

So I just wanted to say goodbye and wish you all a happy and healthy 9 months.

Take care

So so so sorry for you both

Does anyone have a gut instinct on the sex of their bean yet? I feel almost certain I'm having a girl. I went to see a psychic in May and she said that my sister will be pregnant by the end of the summer with a girl and I'll conceive a healthy boy by Sept. Well...... my sister is pregnant but she's having a boy and I did get pregnant by Sept and therefore I'm convinced I'll be having a girl which is the opposite to what my sister is having.
Anyone else got a nagging feeling?

Boy!! I have had 2 others (best friend and Mum) also say they think it's a boy.

Where I am it's about £400 a month, 5 days a week, 8am-2pm for nursery so I think DS will start in September when he will be 25months

Its 05.45am, and look who's awake? I awoke from a lovely dream just gone 5 now i can't go back gggrrrrrrr!!!!
Speaking of dreams, I dreamt the night before that DH had cheated on me with his ex girlfriend znd she'd had his baby AND named the baby what I would like to call my girl if I have one. I told him last night he's lucky I'm even speaking to him!!!! There's never been any trust issues in over 10 years together so i've no idea where tht came from!!!!

Thanks! I felt really guilty though - most women cry with joy at their first scan, but I was SOOOOO busting to go for a wee that I couldn't concentrate on anything apart from how my bladder was literally about to burst. lol.
