At 16 weeks there's still plenty of room in there for baby to be in all sorts of positions so defo don't even worry about it, weird they mentioned it really. I'd never expect at 16 week for baby to be head down. Xx

Eta I've had kicks low left last 8ish hours but prior to that were top right and it changes all the time. Also where I find hb with Doppler. I'm 20 week and thinking awwww at lest it can still have a swim around while it still has chance lol.

Elsa & sister rose - do you know what the Chinese calculator predicted for your genders?

Congrats ladies on your boy and girl news! Makes ne so excited to find mine out- exactly 2 weeks today until my anatomy scan.

Ashley I have been predicted a girl in the Chinese gender chart. My own inclination was a boy but everyone around me keeps saying girl.
Xxx

Chinese gender predictor said boy for me, but it said boy last time too! x

 

[Yo_Yo]

Anatomy scan today. We're team pink!

Yay for a little girl!

 

[StarBrites]

My Chinese predictor said girl How neat!

Congrats on the girl Elsa someone finally broke the chain
I speezed when I was about 15/16 weeks? My FOB almost cried with laughter when I told him, knob.

Less than 24 hours till my anatomy scan, I'm going to have to find something new to obsess about after this because waiting another 20 weeks to see baby is way to long

Anybody struggling with swelling yet? I swelled a little with my first (mainly at the very end- he was born in September); and swelled horribly with my second (he was born in May.) It was so bad, my ankles finally started seeping. Never had high blood pressure or anything, so nothing was said. I'm only 20 weeks now and already have cankles at the end of the day. Thought maybe I wasn't getting enough water- but doesn't seem to matter. It has been rather warm and humid the last few days here. Also, my hands swell after I go for a walk. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come or it could be a long summer.

I have this problem already. It's not so bad in my ankles as it is my hands. But it has also been very warm here as well. And it's a problem I've had before, except now it's worse. Happens way more quickly than before pregnancy. I plan to ask my doctor about it at my next visit and see what she has to say.

Do we have any gender scans today?

I like to compare the results of the Chinese gender predictor- thanks for your response ladies

So the lunar chinese calendar says girl, and it said boy for my son. But the regular calendar says boy for this one and boy from my first as well! Guess I will find out which is more accurate.

 

[Mushymilkfor2]

Can't wait to see what other people gender scan results are! I love hearing what other people are having.

Also as for the Chinese gender predictor mine told me it would be a boy, so it was right for me. All the other wives tales though pointed towards girl.

I had an awful dream about spiders last night! In my dream I couldn't hear out of my right ear. So I went to my father (who I'm not in contact with) to have him help me out to figure out what was going on. He was looking around and all of a sudden little spiders started crawling or of my ear. It was so gross!

I should probably start writing down all my crazy pregnant dreams.

It is odd with my last pregnancy(mc) I felt strongly girl from really early on and when I did all the gender calendars online ALL 10 said girl. This one is all over the place and no feelings. So Moms guess of boy girl twins freaked me out a tad No US so assume it is just one. I am going more boy then girl. Even before this boy trend!

I went for the second part of the ips testing today and the lady hurt my arm pretty bad doing the blood work. My arm is pretty bruised already and I am sure it will get worse. I'm not sure why they do second blood work around 17 weeks. I would think between the ultrasound and blood work at 12 weeks, they would be able to determine the risk of down syndrome. I've never heard of it being called ips, when I had my daughter they called it an nt scan but that was a different doctor.

I found out today my neighbour is pregnant. We've become pretty good friends lately. We went out this morning and she grabbed a test on the way home and it was very positive. Our kids will be a few months apart.

Anatomy scan today. We're team pink!

awww, congratulations!!!

 

[GeralynB]

The Chinese predictor and the ring test both said boy for me and they were right!

i'm getting so nervous - we're doing a private scan Friday evening after DH's last final for the semester.

Just going to admit it - I've wanted a baby girl to hold in my arms all four pregnancies now, and the desire just gets stronger and stronger each pregnancy!! It's unbelievable! I decided to do a private scan and get the news out of the way so that I can cope with it if it's another boy (I cried for days last time around but had accepted it by the time birth rolled around). Boys are great, don't get me wrong, but just one little girl, pretty please?! I'm already in so much pain from SPD that I don't know if I could handle trying yet again for a baby girl after this pregnancy... Oh, i'm so nervous! eek!!!

As for Chinese gender, both of my sons were predicted girl, so I haven't bothered to look it up this time.

I bought some things for the nursery today!! We decided on a nautical theme. I found a bunch of cute stuff at Homegoods. An oar to hang above the crib, anchor book ends, a navy and white hamper and some navy and white baskets. Can't wait to start putting everything together!
