hahha... make up sex is wayyyyyyyyyyy much better

Our little bean is a result of make up sex (he refused to give spermies beforehand, then the one time he did, bam pregnant) hahaha he now thinks hes got super human spermies hahaha

bahaha I know right!!! The second we found out we were pregnant, by hubby looks down at his crotch & says "YEAH MY BOYS STILL GOT IT" I just shook my head & replied "yep typical man, all he cares about is if his little spermies can swim still". We both busted up laughing!!!

Last time I was completely convinced I was having a boy up until they told me it was a girl at the gender scan! However, last time by this point I was puking myself silly and since I'm not... then I'm guessing boy! what am I going to do with all the girl stuff I kept!?

Totally plan on finding out this time too

my mom gave me a great idea if i ever have 2 babies.
she kept all my baby girl clothes when she was pregnant with my brother.(she didn't have a gender ultrasound) when he was born, she was stumped about what to do with the girl clothes.
instead of giving them to a girlfriend or neighbor, she took them to church and asked the pastor to find a needy family with a baby girl who could use them. it warmed my heart knowing that all my old baby things went to help a family who couldn't afford them.

Hi ladies, checking in to say hello after spending half an hour catching up on all the chat

jtink that is lovely about the clothes, i've always kept all of mine in the hope that if I ever have a girl I can pass on the boys bits. I've had a lot given to me too and so I know how helpful it can be as they grow so fast and their clothes get mucky real quick so you need lots of outfit changes.

I love your wedding photo in your avatar, so beautiful!

I always wanted a boy first too and then I really wanted him to have a brother close in age. It's lovely to watch them growing up together already and playing (and fighting lol!) I would really love a girl this time, I can't lie that even though I'm fully expecting it to be another boy I will shed a tear as it will feel more real that I will likely never have a daughter. I know another little dude will fit so well into our family and I will love him sooo much, I do adore little boys but I will also need to hide from other peoples reactions and disappointments too so it will hard. I feel bad for saying that

I was team yellow with my first even though I knew he was a boy. I found out second time though which I'm pleased about as it helped me to bond and I enjoyed the end of the pregnancy more. What I did do though was try my best to keep it a secret from family and friends as I think it's more exciting for them to wait to find out the big news on the day. We will try to do the same this time although my hubby cannot keep a secret very well, ggr
I will tell you ladies though

I will tell you ladies though

my MIL had 4 boys. with the last boy, they had an ultrasound, and the tech told them it would be a girl!! lo and behold, on the day of the birth, out comes a little boy. apparently the little guy was hiding his manly bits. my MIL was crushed. she obviously loves her sons, but always wanted a girl.

her first grandchild was a girl, and let me tell you, that girl is spoiled rotten. she now tells me that having a granddaughter is better than having a daughter - because she doesn't have to deal with all the teenage girl drama herself!!

I woke up today with af like cramps - just like I usually get right before af arrives. Im hoping thats ok! is that normal? Ive had very slight cramping the last few days but this morning was a little more painful. I got up to use the bathroom and felt cramps so i went right back to bed. They feel fine right now but I was a little spooked bc ive heard cramps are normal but just slight cramps.
Anyone else experience this? Im scared!

I had lots of cramping with my first baby espicially. I would say they were more painful at times then AF cramps

I had a scan at 7 weeks with my first it was so lovely to see this little blob and big heartbeat made it more real even though it doesn't look like a baby yet.

I still havn't made a doctors appointment yet, last time i went when i was nearly 7 weeks and she told me it was too early to see her grrr.
They don't do anything at the appointment just ask you when your LMP was and then they are supposed to refer you to the midwife who sees you between 8-10 weeks and refers you for your scan 11-14 weeks, down here in the south. It makes the pregnancy feel very long not having many appointments, I always look forward to them hearing the bubbas heartbeat and finding out how much I've grown. I recently signed a petition for UK ladies to have an extra scan at 37 weeks to check fluid levels and presentation of the baby etc as I feel that could be so important in preventing still birth. It's along time to wait from 20 weeks although I do understand resources are stretched. I will see if I can find the link for it incase any other ladies want to sign it xxx

Ahh your poor MIL that must have been a shock! I think if I was told girl at the scan I would want photographic evidence as I just wouldn't believe it.

I know I couldn't cope with more than 1 girl just incase she was like me as a teenager I was a bit naughty although not difficult to handle just grew up too quick. I will have to hold on to the hope of granddaughter anyhow if not and enjoy the cheeky monkeys that I have been blessed with xxxxxx

CM--when I went to the bathroom--I had to remove thy panties because they were so "wet" SORRY TMI...And NO, I didn't pee in them...

This cracks me up! I am the same way and DB keeps thinking that I'm "in the mood" and gets all turned on and I'm just like "No, I'm pregnant"

Thank You!!! We dtd tuesday night, and all I heard wednesday when we talked--"You really enjoyed yourself last night"..I looked at him and told he better think again..But he was all about how "wet" it was...And yeah, like you said, "DUH... I'm pregnant--it's going to be "wet" down there and you had nothing to do with it!"

Last time after we dtd he was like "I wanted to grab your boobs so bad just to see how mad you'd get" Men these days

Im lucky...since I got bfp mine darent touch me Mind you...I did say grab me, ill grab your nuts. Maybe that was all the warning he needed

 

[Sass827]

I'm so not into BDing either. Too sore own there and not interested at all.
I'm into finding out the sex ASAP. Its enough or me just to be surprised by the date, size and features of the baby. And I'd love an extra four months of not hearing "my granddaughter" non stop from my MIL.

 

[BellaRosa8302]

My DH wants our baby's gender to be a surprise; I think especially because it will be our first baby. I had a really hard time with that - I'm a teacher, I'm an organized planner, and I want everything set and ready when I come home with Baby... but I gave in to what he wants. I do see how exciting it can be to wait.

But, I think I'm going to be wicked jealous of one of my closest girlfriends - she just told me SHE's pregnant too - and our due dates are within TWO DAYS of each other!!! So crazy! Anyway, she's going to find out the gender of her baby. When she gets cute girl or boy clothes in pink or blue and I get yellow and green, I know I'm going to be jealous!!! But, it's okay - it'll be worth it when we get surprised on baby's birthday

 

[Foxycleopatra]

Im divided on finding out babies gender. I didnt find out when i had my daughter ( but that will be 11 years ago when bubs is born) DH says we should find out so we can plan but I kinda like the idea of the ultimute surprise!

I did my last FRER this morning and i am proud to say te test line is now well and truly darker then the control!! there is just something relieving about that for me.

Is there any other Aussie mum-to-be in our group? I feel like i miss out on so much while you guys chat away while im asleep

Hope everyone is doing super awesome xx

 

[aknqtpie]

We are definitely are going to be finding out the gender... I am too much of a micromanager.. and my DH wants to know too! He is hoping for a boy.. I keep telling him he is going to get a girl, because he wants a boy so bad lol.

 

[Babee_Bugs]

i also like to plan!!!... also ill be making most of the items myself... cot bumper, curtains for nursery, footmuffs for pram, patchwork quilt for tummy time... oh and nappies

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Oh ive just realised that the group has been moved to Pregnancy groups and decussions...

 

[TonyaG]

I want to wait to find out the gender but something tells me I won't be able to resist knowing once given the option to find out!
