*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

Congrats on the boy jcliff!

I have my scan tomorrow and will hopefully find out the gender. They don't usually tell you here, but it really depends on the tech. I think its mostly because there are women in certain cultures that don't want girls so they try to find out early so they can do something about it. I come from a culture that is like this and I'm hoping the tech doesn't just look at my skin colour and assume I'm like that. Although I have two little girls so that should show them that I'm not like that. If the tech doesn't tell me then I have to wait till at least next Wednesday to ask my dr what they wrote in the report.

This will be our last baby so it would be nice to have a boy, but I'm happy either way. Dh thinks its a girl, but only because he thinks he can only produce girls. Lol!!

I've read somewhere before that the chances of a couple having the same gender at their third baby is higher if they have 2 girls or boys already. Example cause that sentence confused me a little is 3 girls or 3 boys. If any of that actually makes sense.

I'm staying team yellow but feeling like it must be a boy with the group trend ha ha. Can't believe how much blue there is in here lol

 

[kiki28]

Congrats on the little boy my OH cried when he found out too! He really wanted a boy but was convinced ill one was a girl so when they told us he's a boy he was over the moon

 

[StarBrites]

My boyfriend cried too when she announced the gender. He squeezed my hands and we both just started bawling. We were so happy! My dad was there and he started crying too. It was so sweet.

Congratulations JCliff & Lealani on team blue! Now we wait for Geralyn's reveal party!

Lealani - Guess Emily Sophia is shelved for this time. Hope you have a girl next time.

I'm past 18 weeks now... and I still feel only very light movement on the left or under the belly button. I was expecting to feel a lot more than this by now. But prolly this is it for first timers?

Have anatomy scan exactly 2 weeks from now. Like hopettc3 says...if the tech pities me and tells me the gender... I'll be so very happy! Otherwise... will just stick to forced team yellow.

 

[SisterRose]

I heard that if you've got 2 the same gender it's slightly more likely you'll have another baby of the same gender too!

Also, in last years october group it was the same with all boys. They were outnumbering the girls by far, and I think I may have broken the trend, and then it evened out towards the end!

Congrats on the boy JCliff!
My scan is in 6 days and hopefully we'll find out then, got a feeling I'll be joining the blue club

 

[cntrygrl]

JCliff-- That's so sweet that he cried.

Hope-- Good Luck with your scan today.

Geralyn-- Can't wait for your reveal.

AFM-- I have a doctor's appt. today at 2 then I'll find out when my anatomy scan is. I'm hoping they don't wait til my next 4 week appt. and make it earlier.

 

[La Mere]

Congrats, Jcliff!!

It was like this in my January group when I was pregnant with my son. There were a few who stayed yellow but most ended up being boys!

I couldn't say what I think I am having, this pregnancy is so different from my last two! Nausea yes, throwing up not really... I was horribly sick with my daughter and was still decently sick with my son... Who knows? lol.

 

[CharmedKirsty]

My mum and dad had 2 girls together but each had a boy with there new partners.

 

[MamaMac123]

Been a crazy couple of days! So much to catch up on in here!

Congrats to all the gender reveals! So many boys! Hope that rubs off on us! DH wants a boy sooooo badly! Poor guy, he's got 3 girls already! His ex also had a girl with her new fiancé. I'm hoping now he's with me we can combine to get a boy for him! My MIL had all boys and wants us to have two more girls haha DH and I are still predicting boy/girl. We find out one month from today! I could find out a few day sooner on the 4th because that's when I have my anatomy scan but I'm going to tell them to keep it secret for me. We've agreed to wait till the 3D scan with my mom on the 9th and to do our balloon reveal

 

[MamaMac123]

So on Wednesday we had a scan and I FINALLY got pics of my babies!!! I can't stop looking at them!



DH had to work so my MIL came with me. It was cute because she's never seen a scan before and was so amazed by it! I cried when I saw my babies wiggling around. So awesome! Baby B was more relaxed and chill while Baby A was doing flips and bouncing and waving. It was so cute! While the tech was trying to get photos of Baby B, Baby A kept trying to photo bomb and push over into the shot. So funny! My DH is very laid back and I'm very much the wanna get up and go and be social one so I think baby A is taking after mama and baby b is taking after daddy!

Scheduled my anatomy scan for June 4th and have our 3D scan and gender reveal on the 9th! One month away! Eeeekkkk!!!! So excited!

That night after the scan I noticed a numb spot on my upper left thigh. I got worried and called a 24 hr nurse hotline. The so called "nurse" who spoke to me was a total idiot! She was clearly reading from a script on a computer screen. I'd tell her things and then she'd ask questions I'd already answered. She wasn't actually listening to me at all. In the end the computer decided I needed an ambulance! What!?!? I told her no way, as I literally live across the street from a hospital. So I hung up and walked myself over in a total panic. Turns out everything is fine and the numbness is actually quite normal in pregnancy. It's just happening to me very early because it's twins. It's caused by a pinched nerve. No pain, just odd numbness like when you get a shot for dental work. So 3 hrs in the ER later to be told it's normal. Nice! Glad it wasn't anything serious though! And the fun part was they did a quick ultrasound just to double check babies were okay so DH got to see them after all! The next morning the numb area was spreading so I called my OB office. They confirmed all is normal and to just watch for pain, redness and if the area is hot to the touch. Otherwise it's all totally fine.

So weird the things you learn are pregnancy symptoms that no one ever tells you about beforehand!

 

[cntrygrl]

MamMac-- Isn't it amazing watching them on the screen!

We find out in 2 weeks what we're having. Heart rate was down to 150 so I'm guessing baby was sleeping, but my blood pressure was also really low. I've gained 1lb since my last 4 week visit.

 

[GeralynB]

Going to the Billy Joel concert in the city tonight, gender party tomorrow, and Mother's Day on Sunday. Busy weekend...I'm going to be exhausted!

 

[hopettc3]

So the results are in.....we're having a boy!!!! Baby was moving around so much that the tech thought it was a girl for a minute! She actually asked me if I wanted to know which was a pretty nice surprise. She kept checking and didn't actually stop until she was absolutely positive it was a boy! We're so excited! DD1 had told me originally that she already had a sister so she wanted a brother. She was so happy when she found out! I guess I'll have to get rid of a lot of girl clothes now.

 

[Jcliff]

Congrats! Year of the boys!

 

[Mushymilkfor2]

Congrats on the boy!

I've had an awful headache all day, I can't handle it! Tylenol won't do anything, I just want to cry. Also my husband seems to be craving things more than I do. He is seriously putting pickles on everything. He also sent me to get him ice cream and original potato chips yesterday. Like really? It makes me laugh so much!

 

[hopettc3]

Lol! The men always seem to have it worse! Sorry about the headache. I get migraines and they seem to be worse during this pregnancy. I can usually tell when its starting and have to drink a cup of coffee to keep it away (caffeine usually helps me, but can make it worse for some people) and close my eyes and rest for a while. I hope you can find something that works for you.

 

[Mushymilkfor2]

Coffee usually works for me as well, but not today! Nothing seems to be working. I don't know if it's really that bad, or if I'm just a big wimp!
