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

[ttc bubby no2]

I had my scan at 15 wks so I hope it is accurate! I'm worried my girl is going to change to a boy at then next scan though.

The gender scan I had done with DS2 at 16 wks was very clearly a boy. I had no doubts about that one but I have trouble believing this one is a girl still.

 

[ttc bubby no2]

I have my 20 weeks scan in 15 days and I'm scared we'll see something that obviously gives the gender away, I really want to be team

I had no idea what to look for with DS1 so we were still completely unaware of gender until he was born. I think now I would be able to pick it as I have spent more time looking at potty shots now.

If you tell them you want a surprise they can always tell you to look away if they are in that area.

ttc bubby no2 I will mention it before that start. I didn't have a clue with my son either but I've seen so many potty shots on here I might have a better idea this time lol xx

 

[jadza]

Hmmm ok. Guess I will just have to wait. I posted the scan pic on facebook of just the bubbys profile and everyone is saying 'omg it looks like a boy'. Definitely looks soooo different to my daughter. Guess I have to be patient and wait for my 20 weeks scan *sigh*.

My gender scan isn't for another 20 days!!! Yes am counting I wanted to stay team yellow but now I just want to find out

 

[TattyHead]

Jadza, I'd say if they were willing to tell you they're fairly certain even if they won't say for definite. I know for us in the UK they'll always say 'looks like' or something similar, never 100% just in case.
When's your next scan?

 

[Oxygen7880]

I agree that they must have been pretty certain to even mention it. Even though I have had the harmony test and found out the sex, I'm still asking at the 20 week scan! I'm really not a surprise kinda girl. With my first I just couldn't believe my 20 week scan when she said girl. I tormented myself wondering what iff! I ended up doing a private gender scan to confirm. Even then I asked the midwife to confirm gender at birth, haha.

 

[justplay91]

Jadza, they're pretty accurate from 15 weeks on. With my daughter we went at 15 weeks and they were very easily able to tell that it was a girl. So, yes, if your sonographer thinks boy, it's probably a boy!

We're getting an early gender scan tomorrow at 15+2. I wanted to stay team yellow, but I just can't wait! I really hope baby is in a good position, because the place we're going to get the ultrasound is like 2 hours away!

My anatomy scan is in 23 days and I can't wait! Still not sure we will find out the gender (my personality type says I will, but I'm going to decide on the day).

I'm more excited about just seeing little Bee again after such a long time. Seeing its little limbs and features. Seeing it wave and kick and move and just be a baby. I don't care what gender it is. We wanted this so much and for so long, I've loved every second of my pregnancy so far and I just love seeing the baby because I still can't believe this little miracle is happening inside me every day. I love hearing its heartbeat on my Doppler and I can't wait to feel it move and kick. I have so many friends who still haven't made it to this point and I feel blessed.

Anyone whis finding out planning on doing a big gender reveal?

My husband wants to get these exploding golf balls, and hit one off in our backyard as a way to tell family. Then post a video for anyone not there...I found some on etsy...I'm just afraid baby won't cooperate during scan.

My sonographer asked if we wanted to know gender before she went to the privates, if we had said no she would of turned the monitor we could see off and just been able to see it herself.

At 15 weeks gender can definitely be known, and a good sonographer should be pretty accurate...there's always a small chance they're wrong, but I don't think they'd say if they weren't certain

 

[sarah0108]

We did a gender reveal, we videoed it but I also took a picture it's in my journal zx

 

[broodymrs]

We're finding out but not doing a reveal. We might not tell anyone else as we had a negative reaction last time from someone and TBH I think that's why I've been weird about even telling people I'm pregnant this time.

Got a Doppler today. It's brilliant! After finally figuring out how to work the thing found the heartbeat straight away. Such a lovely sound 💕

I did the exact same thing with my daughter. I asked both the midwife and my husband to check she was a girl when she was born... hahaha

Elliecain I'm so excited to see my little babu again too and seeing how much he/she has grown and changed. Hopefully this one will be better behaved than my son was at his anatomy scan, they had to keep sending me off to drink fizzy pop and do star jumps so they could get him to move for the measurements they needed.

Miranda we're not finding out so no reveal but I really like the golf ball idea.

Sarah0108 your reveal was so cute, lovely getting the kids involved.

Broodymrs I'm sorry past reactions have put you off this time, I hate people that do that and make their unwanted comments. I'm already getting fed up of people presuming I must want a girl as I have boy and basically saying I'll be unhappy with a boy. It really irritates me as if be over the moon with either and literally have zero preference. Aww glad you're living the doppler, it's lovely to be able to listen at home.

Jadza we were team yellow with my son but when he was born my mum shouted he's a boy and the midwife then said there was no denying that fact but I still had to check myself lol.

Xx

Haha my mom did the same thing, and she was so pleased because she had been convinced the whole pregnancy it was a boy. And I was like mom, ive been waiting 9 months for DH to tell me the gender when it comes out! he was kinda in shock I think, his siblings have only girls, plus he had just watched a baby come out of his honey's hooha!

 

[mirandaprice]

I'm far too impatient to wait until birth to find out gender, I just want to really prepare...and this time around I'm having a hard time choosing names, so finding out if boy or girl helps narrow down my search

I already have everything I need of boy or girl, aside from diapers...so not really concerned about buying gender specific things.

Love my doppler broodymrs, best investment I ever made! Almost wish I had it with my son, but his pregnancy made me far less anxious than this one.

I've already asked in the forums, but gunna ask here too..have any of you ladies had off discharge? Like since bfp I've had a greenish paste like discharge that comes and goes. It never sticks around for more then a few days, disappears, then reoccurs. No itching, no smell (and I've really held it close to find a smell), no pain...just off color. I went in last week and asked about it, my obgyn did a pelvic exam and tested my urine for a uti...but nothing. She didn't do a swab, but did use a scope and peak and said she couldn't see any discharge other then the remnants of spotting I had last week...if it had been some sort of bacterial infection it'd of still been there?

This green color is driving me nuts, but I don't want to take treatment unnecessarily. Anyone else have something similar, but no infection?

 

[broodymrs]

I didn't have a Doppler last time strangely but this time my movements started early but are so infrequent and not strong so that's panicked me a bit which is why I got one.

I have discharge but mine smells weird but is clear. Had swabs done and all ok. If yours is green I'd ask for swabs as it can be bv which needs treating

 

[sarah0108]

I'm so unwell again and my OH just doesn't get it, is driving me mad!
I think it's hard for men to understand when they aren't the ones carrying babies, but the unsympathetic attitude is irritating me! X

 

[broodymrs]

Oh sorry Sarah 😟 I'm just constantly ill, it's horrible

 

[mirandaprice]

My husband doesn't get it either...I'm on the back end of a cold and have been miserable all last week..even with gagging/vomiting due to snot..and so so tired..and my husband just doesn't understand.

I sometimes wish he could feel what I was so he'd understand...like, I don't care how much needs to get done, let me lounge for a bit
