[Jcliff]

Here is our baby boy from the scan. The tech said she saw his winky 8 or 9 times so shes positive its a boy! LOL I have not ONE boy thing, so we went out today and got a few sleepers Just for fun!

 

[hopettc3]

Awww! I'm sure it must be bad. I doubt you're a wimp especially if your usual fixes aren't working. I hope you feel better soon!

 

[Yo_Yo]

Cute scan Jcliff-well he doesn't doing shy showing the tech his bits so much

 

[Yo_Yo]

Mamamac-your twins are so sweet on the scan! Must be fasten sting to see then both on ultrasound

Hopettc3 yay for a boy!

I'm getting shocked at all these boys!

 

[ljo1984]

So this if you've had two of the same sex your third is most likely going to be the same, what if youve had more than 2? Lol do your odds go up? The first baby I lost I had genetic tests done to see why and that was a girl. I don't know what my most recent loss was but I have conceived a definite 3 girls.i feel obliged to buck the trend ha ha ha. Obviously I don't mind whats in there and won't find out till birth but it's all very interesting.

Ljo1984-this is a good article with stats on chances of having certain genders https://www.in-gender.com/xyu/odds/gender_odds.aspx

Interesting read!

 

[ljo1984]

Ha ha I love the closing comment where it says odds are actually 50/50!! Durrrr. So from that odds drop after 3 girls than what they are after 2.

 

[Yo_Yo]

Yay I'm half way there today!

Anyone got their 20 week scan coming up soon? I'm nervous for mine!

 

[StarBrites]

Yo_Yo - I booked my anatomy scan today at my appointment. It will be in 2 weeks but I will be around 22 weeks. Yay for being halfway!

 

[vickyandchick]

Yo-Yo CONGRATS! Such a good feeling!

 

[Mrs Eleflump]

Yay for 20 weeks, Yo-yo! My anatomy scan is on the 22nd, so just under 2 weeks to go! I can't wait I hope everything's ok...edging into the time now where heart damage could happen, so hoping all looks good and heart rate is ok. It's dropped a little on the doppler, but it's still usually between 140-150, so I'm not worried yet...

Is it usual to see the midwife around 21-ish weeks? I'm sure the next time I see her is one week after my scan, on May 29th, but as I walked out at the end of last appt, she said 'see you in June'...well it can't be 29th June, as that's a Sunday I phoned her and asked her to confirm, but had to leave a voicemail and she hasn't got back to me yet. That was 2 weeks ago

 

[ljo1984]

My scan is on 20th. X

 

[SisterRose]

yay! Congrats on half way Yo Yo, the last 20 weeks will fly by now. :-D

Mrs_Eleflump - I can't remember exactly when the appointments are either, but I think it does differ from area to area. I *think* that my appointments are something like first at booking, then one at 16 weeks to check in and listen to the heartbeat, then the next one is at something like 25 weeks or maybe 28 weeks for bloods and then it doesn't get more frequent until later on in the pregnancy unless there are other problems.

To those who are hoping for boys, Does the fact that there are so many in this group already dishearten you or make you hopeful? I feel like there are so many already that it's got to even up somewhere and so I think most people soon will be announcing girls instead of boys, therefor my chances are now a lot slimmer than before. OH thinks that's crap and that it doesn't work that way, because you have to take in to consideration how many other people are pregnant with boys or girls in the world etc. What do you think?

 

[AllStar]

My scan is the 20th too! 9 days!!

Congrats on your little boy hopettc3.

Lovely scan pics ladies. My ds keeps asking when we're getting more photos of the baby.

Congrats on half way yoyo! 18 weeks for me today, congrats to all ladies with new weeks today I love it when I wake up and I have a notification from my pregnancy app with my new week info.

Baby has been moving so much and I seem to feel him/her more every day. My friend just recently admitted to me that she didn't like it when the baby moved and kicked much, she found it odd and it creeped her out! It's my favourite part of being pregnant. Even third time round, I can't help but smile every time I feel him/her move. I love it

Mamamac and jcliff - great scan pics!

Yoyo - congrats on being halfway - that's such an exciting milestone!!

My anatomy scan is on 29th may when I hope to find out the gender then I have a doc appt at 24 weeks.

In terms of gender I'm becoming more and more positive mine is a boy because of all the boys on here! Also because I had no morning sickness and the heart rate was only 129 this makes it more likely. However I've always secretly wanted a girl - mainly because I have such a good relationship with my mum I want something similar and I understand girls more because I was one! I'm a bit nervous about having a boy but I will be happy either way!

 

[SisterRose]

Loopy_Laura - You never know, I had no sickness at all in my first two pregnancies and I had two girls, both with "boy" heart rates! This time I was sick two or three times and felt super nauseous compared to last time but also thinking girl x

My midwife booked me in for an appointment a week after my scan at 21weeks as she likes to see you after the scan. Didn't think it was normal as I thought you had one at 25 weeks but another one can't hurt

I felt exactly the same but now I have a son I'm so glad I've got to experience that relationship. I still look at the future feeling a little nervous (how on earth will I know what to do with an adolescent boy, well, make that 2 now!) but I'm sure it'll come naturally as it has so far. You never know, you could still get your little girl.
