March Munchkins 2017 - calling all March Mummy's to be:)

If you don't mind knowing, I'd say boy! Mine looks very girl, pointing straight, almost down. Yours is pointing up and forked (so defo the nub).

Edited to add: Then again, if you look at the spine in yours, it might be parallel, so girl... Also, I've read that forks are more common in girls!

Here's mine, for comparison:

Anyone else getting Braxton hicks this early on?

Oh Sarah... poor you!
I haven't experienced them but I hear it is not uncommon for them to start happening after the 6th week, although most people don't feel them. If they are happening often and hurt do talk to your doctor... at least to put your mind at ease. Take care

 

[sarah0108]

Thank you!
They're OK, it doesn't bother me, I just can't really remember exactly when I had them in my last pregnancies. I'm sure it was about the mid 20s mark!

I'll have a chat with the midwife when I see her in a week or so just to make sure it's normal haha x

Yours is so clear elliecain! I was thinking the same about mine with the curve on the spine... as taking that into consideration you are correct and it does make it parallel
I guess I am not to have a straight forward answer

I really don't get the whole nub thing?! I'll post my 12 week pic if anyone has opinions. I have no clue!!

I've had a couple of real ouch moments Sarah but they've both happened while I was on the loo and I'm pretty constipated! 😂 So it could have been that. The first time I actually cried out though, really felt like a proper contraction.

Mine definitely isn't showing the nub

I think your nub is actually the line above where you have circled. It still looks girly though.

Cute scans, ladies! Still hopping, yours has a great nub shot! Are you staying team yellow?

I'm so ready for fall/winter! Where I live, it will just be starting to warm back up when baby is born. Perfect timing!

I am not good at guessing ... what does it look like to you? Maybe a boy?

I'm thinking boy for yours but if you put it in the gender prediction section you will get more opinions.

I can't see a nub in yours. Will you find out or wait until the birth?

 

[ttc bubby no2]

So speaking of all this nub / gender talk... the majority of the nub guesses I had for my 12wk scan were correct and I am having a girl! We had an early gender scan yesterday.

I'm so excited as we have two boys so it will be amazing to have a girl too

Pretty certain we are waiting. Just realised this wasn't me you asked! Baby brain!!

Beautiful scan still hopping ��
Sarah I have contractions while nursing :/ as long as they aren't painful or super frequent I don't think it's a big deal.

 

[justplay91]

I have Braxton Hicks contractions already, too. I noticed one earlier when I was lying flat on my back listening to baby on the doppler. They are normal early on and are especially common in subsequent pregnancies.

Still hopping, I'm going to guess girl for you. Classic girly fork and I don't see any stacking (I.e. evidence of scrotal sack). The ladies over in the gender prediction section are freaking amazing at guessing, though, so give that a try if you want a real guess!

Speaking of all this gender guessing/people finding out... OH and I cracked. We were going to stay team yellow because we already have a boy and a girl. But I decided I would rather know now and be able to mentally prepare. Not that I care either way, but I am just NOT a surprises person. I want to be able to set everything up, call baby by name, etc. So we will be finding out in 3 weeks, when I am 16 weeks pregnant!

 

[broodymrs]

Oh wow congrats ttc!

Yes we're finding out, way too impatient not too! Practically I also want to prepare too.

Yay for finding out justplay.

Does anyone else feel a bit weird about this pregnancy? I've just not been bothered about telling people and while I don't now mind friends knowing, I still really begrudge people like work colleagues knowing (because I hate my job and I'm leaving soon and there's loads of issues there). I feel like although I'm happy and excited I just don't feel the need to share the news with everyone, hence we've not done an announcement. But I also feel like I'm just waiting for something to go wrong. Perhaps because I feel I should be more excited. I was fully prepared for the worst at the 12 week scan so I was shocked and really happy to see a healthy baby wiggling about. But now I'm back to worrying again, and my next scan seems ages away although it's not really

Congrats on team pink ttc!

I never felt/had Braxton hicks with my son...so who knows if I'll even feel/get them with this baby, this entire pregnancy has already been so different

 

[justplay91]

broodymrs, I'm going through almost exactly the same thing. We still haven't even told our families, and there's a big part of me that wants to wait until after the anatomy scan, even though I know I'll be showing way before that and I'll have to announce it earlier. I think in my case, my hesitation results from feeling almost TOO lucky to have the two healthy kids I have. I'm worried that I can't possibly be that lucky a third time in a row. It's like in this pregnancy I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak.

I'm also a bit wary of how people will react because it's our 3rd kid in less than 3 years. I know even I would have probably rolled my eyes, once upon a time. Oh well, it's our life!

We've only told the people we have as I've been showing for ages now. Every morning I dress in loose clothes to disguise it and people are still commenting on how big I am! The joys of big babies!

Glad it's not just me feeling like this.

Oh yes, TTC, now you say it, I see that the one above is even a bit forked! I'd though that was a foot/leg, but you are right. I'm pleased it still looks quite girly, as I'm secretly hoping for a girl, though I'll be delighted with either!
I'm a tiny bit worried that DH won't be as happy because he wants a son to keep the name going (he and his father were only sons). He says he's happy with either, but I may stay team yellow, because I know he will totally adore the baby once it arrives, whatever the gender!
