Oh no... hopefully it will finish earlier! At least it stops us eating everything in sight haha

You’re right! At least my hyperactive smell hast kicked in yet, not even being able to open the fridge definitely makes looking after the kids a bit tricky at meal times!!

Does anyone have any gender preference? I know everyone’s goal is absolutely just a healthy baby, and no judgement either way!

I have a girl, boy, girl a the minute so it would be cool to have another boy to complete the “set” but we have way more girls’ clothing, and we find boys’ names very, very difficult, so a girl would be much easier in that respect! Ultimately we don’t mind, and I’ve never had a gender preference before, but always guessed right as to what the baby will be, and so far I’m thinking this one is a boy.

I always said I wanted 2 boys... if i could have them as twins so I only have to do this once, that would be great. I dont ask for much

Now that I'm actually pregnant..... i just want a safe arrival.

 

[doggylover]

I think twins would absolutely be the end of me i dunno how people manage, and triplets or anything like that is just mind blowing!

I’ve always wanted boy, boy, girl which is the set up in both mine and DH’s family but I only really know little girls atm and they’re so cute so honestly I’m not fussed at all. I deffo want one of each but how far do you go until you give up haha

I want another girl. Sneak peek said it’s a girl so hopefully my NIPT comes back and says the sneak peek test was right. A girl is easier as a single mom and I have TONS of clothes from DD in storage. Seriously the bins are stacked taller than I am. Plus baby and DD will be sharing a room at some point. I should find out in a few days! But then I’m keeping it to myself (well and here) and I have a gender ultrasound scheduled for 16 weeks that I’m bringing DD to and I’ll let her tell everyone. She won’t be able to come to anything so that will be something for use for her.

I wanted a boy sneak peek says girl, I’m not disappointed, I am nervous because my daughter is the biggest diva ever though A girl is going to be more practical my son is 9 and daughter is 6 so the 2 girls sharing a room will be better I think ds is too old to have to share a room with a baby now

Mine too! Lol. I keep saying if she wasn’t so shy in new situations I’d get her on tv and make some money off of her lol.

Sneak peek (just had to google it). I didn't know you could do that.... hmmm got me wondering now. Are they ever wrong?

I say I want twins in theory.... in reality... well thats a different story

I've seen sneak peak be wrong before but you have to do it in a room with no males at all else it contaminates it no point in me doing it as my house is full of males xx

@doggylover I would love another girl even it out as I have 2 girls and 3 boys I have a feeling it is a girl but my feelings have been wrong before xx

See my son is a drama queen he was a HARD baby. He cried constantly, I held him in arms or in the wrap all the time, pretty much until he could walk. He has always been very “in touch with his emotions” and generally a bit of a tricky customer. Everything is the end of the world. The girls aren’t quite so bad as that. The youngest thinks she’s in charge of the house though and is stubborn as a mule.

two of ours will also have to share a room so a girl would work best as my youngest is a girl and will be 2.5yr age gap. If the baby is a boy it’ll be a 5.5yr age gap. But I keep them in my room (we cosleep) until about age 2 anyway so it wouldn’t be sharing for ages. And I suppose two little ones aged 4.5 and 2 would probably love to share!

 

[doggylover]

I’m sure some have said already, but will people be finding out the sex? We are team yellow

 

[TTCBean]

I have three boys so I am hoping this is a little girl! But another boy would be really easy too, as we have a ton of boy clothing (newborn up to size 10!) and all the boy toys, etc... and I know how to parent a boy, haha! Oct 1 we'll find out!!

I’ve just had some light pink spotting when I wiped and I’m really worried now.

I’m 7+1 and I was getting some cramps before and my boobs feel no where near as sore as they were.

Should I just keep an eye on it for now?

that is so worrying. It doesn’t alleviate the worry, but spotting in pregnancy is very normal, as are cramps. And symptoms can come and go. Definitely keep an eye on it for now and if your spotting gets heavier you can phone your health care provider and ask advice.

@doggylover omg your son is my older son! Colicky baby, very high-energy, “spirited” kid. My most challenging and demanding kid by a million miles. Though now that he is almost 6 he’s got more and more command and control of himself and he’s a wonderful kid (always has been, just used to be much more upset... daily hours-long screaming tantrums etc). When he was a baby i was pretty much broken for a while!

We won’t find out the sex, we never have before birth. I have strong girl feelings but don’t mind either way. I have girl, boy, girl, boy.

@WannaBMamma7 i had that same thing at 7 weeks with my younger daughter. Definitely happened after sex, too, if that applies. Also my symptoms disappeared around 7 weeks with multiple pregnancies. Freaked out every time, and it was always fine.

It’s more wrong for boy results bc of contamination by male dna. But I’m a single mom with a daughter and even a girl dog so no make dna to be seen lol. A wrong girl result can happen when there wasn’t enough of baby’s dna in moms blood. Few days I’ll know if it was right.

 

[Nixnax]

@MrsKatie i would have to find out i think. I dont think I could handle not knowing. Too nosey for my own good.

@WannaBMamma7 I hope all is OK lovely. Try not to worry for now. But if it gets worse, get yourself seen

 

[tdog]

@doggylover my youngest son is exactly that always the end of the world jeez lol, we not finding out either I did with 4 of them xx

@WannaBMamma7 spotting in early pregnancy can be normal I had with my last 3 just keep an eye on it lovely so worrying when you see that xx

 

[WannaBMamma7]

Thanks everyone for the reassurance. At first when I googled it I felt quite reassured and then got more worried about the symptoms of miscarriage. Proper on edge every time I go to the loo now but hopefully I’ll know more by the morning.

Sorry to put a downer of the forum. Please get back to the gender talk
