@KylasBaby congratulations!!!

@playgirl666 yay welcome, this is baby 5 for me too!!

 

[alex_22]

I emailed my OBs office and they got back to me 5 minutes later!! Baby is negative for genetic issues and
ITS
A
*drum roll please*




sneak peek was right. Most of my skull theory guesses said boy lol.

So pleased for you!

I had my scan today everything looks good I’ve been put back 2 days but she only measured baby once and that would have ment I got a positive pregnancy test at exactly 3 weeks pregnant which I doubt but my dates have been changed I’m now due March 3rd, it was lovely seeing baby but felt extremely rushed was only getting scanned 4 mins max, would have been nice to have a chance to just watch baby move around but never mind i have a gender scan in 3 weeks hopefully that’ll feel a little less rushed

 

[MrsKatie]

Yay so glad baby looks good! Sorry it was rushed. Can’t wait to be as far along as you are!!

The first weeks are rough aren’t they you feel like your just crawling along. I found those weeks hard, You can’t have a good twist to anyone because no one knows, it’s just such a relief when your past that ‘danger zone’ and it’s a happy time instead of a worrying one

@doggylover I'll definitely have to try that thank you I have some ice packs some where lol xx

Yes!! I am already feeling trepidation when it comes to sharing our news... I am overjoyed but I had so many weird responses even when announcing baby 3, let alone 4 and now 5. Especially where I live it is NOT the norm. DH’s parents and my sister/his brother (they are also married! It’s the best!) are always nothing but wonderful and supportive. But even my parents were so weird when I told them I was pregnant with baby 4. I want to be confident and own it, and I will... but it’s hard to have people you love react weirdly. I don’t care about anyone else (neighbors, strangers) but those close to us have the power to really affect us.

I feel the same about my parents. I think the news will be met with a kind of shrug of the shoulders. It's my third baby but first with my new partner (and his first) so it's incredibly special. We have already told his parents and they are over the moon. I'll tell mine when we next see my dad and my mum on the phone around then (he's miles away and she lives in Spain). At some point I have to tell my boys (which will be fun) and their dad (which will not!). Families!

Sorry it was so rushed. There’s nothin worse than feeling your antenatal appointments are being hurried along. Makes it a horrible experience. But great that baby is looking well!

I wonder how my husband’s family are going to react. They only have my dh and his sister and they obviously think any more than 2 is weird. I had just found out I was pregnant with no3 and we went to see them and I remember mil saying to my son “oh you’ll always be the baby of the family”. When we told them a few weeks later they were very shocked. I’ve already told dh he needs to tell them himself this time (on the phone as we live far apart, rather than on FaceTime as we do that twice a week) as I think they will be absolutely floored by the news, and not necessarily overjoyed.
My family will also be shocked I think, they know I want another but I don’t think they believed I would do it! They’ll be happy though, we’re a big family with lots of little ones so it’s just another person for the chaos!

Aw that sucks. Glad baby looked good though, but boooo

Picture of little one, we did get some lovely photos, she was being lovely unlike her sister who was an awkward Annie at every scan.

We didn’t tell anyone we were trying as whenever I’d mentioned wanting another I’d get the why you have one of each they’re up now you don’t want to start again so I was really surprised when everyone was overjoyed for us. I can imagine it to be absolutely awful having the people closest to you not share your joy at such an important thing

Lovely pic!!
How old are your other kids? I remember when I had my son (After having my daughter) people used to say we were a perfect family now. As if having anything other than one boy and one girl is somehow imperfect

I think mil will be happy about a new baby in the family, but I do think she’ll be very shocked. That’s why I don’t wanna tell her one FaceTime. In case her face gives her away I remember telling them about no3, well we let the kids tell them, and she was at us for a good few moments!

If you have restless legs try giving up bananas. My FIL (obviously not pregnant ) used to have really awful restless legs and as soon as he stopped eating bananas it stopped.

Sounds like some of you are really suffering in various ways. Hopefully these things ease off ASAP.

I just have a few hours of mild nausea every day. Which I am so thankful for atm. I’m waiting for it to hit badly like it did last time

Is this going to absolutely 100% be anyone’s last baby? My husband has sad absolutely no more, so one of the conditions of us ttc was that I get my tubes tied during my section. I feel happy enough with that, I think 4 is right for us.

We are on our 4th I will be getting my tubes tied as well. The only difference is my tubes will be tied at around 4-6 weeks after the baby is born. Doctor doesn't want to put me through a C-section, since all the rest of my babies were natural, he doesn't think I would need one. But this will be our last one for sure.

 

[KitteyKat2010]

Is there anybody that really don't feel pregnant (I know sounds weird), I haven't really had much "sickness" yet, I get quesy but than I hurry and eat something right away, I also have mints in my pocket at all times for work, the only thing I have is cramping here and than, and my boobs hurt slightly, that's it really nervous for my first appointment/ultrasound which is 9/11, I really hope there is a baby in their as I've taken multiple tests and all have been positive

 

[KylasBaby]

I don’t really. I had 3 weeks of nausea but have just been super tired.

Had to break out the maternity jeans today....that hurt. The checked the rest of my maternity clothing and ordered some long sleeve shirts as I only had a few because DD was a summer baby. I will say though I was super comfy today.

Gonna talk names with DD tonight. See what she thinks of my faves. Still so stoked it’s a girl. I should be able to see my results on the Myriad site tomorrow to see specific numbers and I’m worrying the nurse at my OB had someone else’s results and I’ll check tomorrow and it’ll say boy hahaha.

 

[tdog]

Oh my ladies the sickness and my boobs wow they are so itchy tonight xx

 

[Nixnax]

@KylasBaby awww yay a girl, congrats

@alex_22 awww beautiful scan pic.

I don't feel pregnant as such. My boobs hurt and some days I'm mega tired, but other days I'm OK. I was full of beans all of yesterday. I wake up really groggy but am fine by lunch time. Sickness hasn't hit yet and I really hope it doesn't.

I think our families will be so happy, but this is our first.

 

[doggylover]

Dying this morning already. It’s not even 8am and I’ve been gagging at the smells, and feel so nauseous. And at only 5 weeks there is a looong way to go yet before this tapers off.

I feel like o can’t complain to dh either as it was me who pushed for this baby.

They’re 9 and 6, I always said I wished my youngest was another boy so that I had a reason to try again. I bet I wouldn’t have had to wait another 6 year if she was

Beautlful!!

How are we all today ladies? I’m impatiently waiting for my Sneak Peek results still, it’s taking foreverrrrrrrrr! (Ok it’s not, but I swear time is standing still)

I had some really really bad cramps the other day / night. I was convinced it was bad news, but things seem to be ok now. I just wish the first scan would hurry up, I am trying to keep myself occupied but I’m worrying so much this time around
