Pregnant with #1 ~ May Babies 2013!

Really? I didn't know that Sass... I did ask if the sonographer could have a guess at gender.. and she said no way not at this stage.. boo!!

OMG lets have a transatlantic cake moment... we just have to time it so we eat at the same time! Hahhaa

Sass!! Welcome to peachiness!! YAY!

Thanks Iluv!!
 
I was thinking about you so much, I didn't even realize I was a peach! Haha! Thanks! A peach seems pretty big, right?
21 days til my gender scan! I cannot wait to start shopping!
 
Don't worry Sass! I will think of you! I have to say I am feeling quite peachy at the mo! How are you feeling! What is the first thing you want to buy?
 
Feeling good! Lazy, but good! I've been online browsing like crazy, trying to learn about strollers and car seats. It's very overwhelming. This week I like the city mini stroller.
But I think the first thing we will officially buy is the crib and dresser. We found great deals at Burlington coat factory, of all places! After that, I'm going to try to stop myself and focus on the registry, so I can give some other people a chance to buy for us. What about you?
 
Hmmm I think I am going to have ease Hubby is slowly... so maybe a changing mat lol
 
Congrats on the good scan PadBrat! Sorry they couldn't make a gender guess but it seems like everything is looking up for you! When is your next scan?

Sorry to those who've lost their little ones. I know it's so hard :hugs:

My first ultrasound is tomorrow! I am constantly switching from being super excited to super nervous!
 
I attend a recurrent miscarriage clinic.

I've quickly learnt not to trust anything the nhs do though, they mess up at every possible opportunity with me, I will have to go private soon I think
 
Your so funny PB! After our bfp, I got DH a 3 pack of onesies with his favorite football team on them. I knew it was a risk, but it was only $15, so I figured it was not. Big deal.
Never- I had the same exact feeling. Please let us know how it goes tomorrow!
Hope- I know nothing of the nhs, but I know tons about doctors. The best care will Almost always get you the best results. Does private mean you get to go to a specialist?
 
Sass - I'm so jealous that your gender scan is in 3 weeks! My doctor won't even consider doing one until 18 weeks and they lean more to the 19-20 week area! I really want to know before Christmas so I'm going to be begging like mad to get the 18 weeks scan! I'm not sure I can stand 6 more weeks though! I think the baby is a boy but everyone keeps going based on the old wives tale that it will be a girl because the heartbeat is over 150. My gut still says boy though! Oh I was also going to ask who your husbands favorite football team is? I see that your from Penn. so I'm guessing the Eagles or Steelers??? We already have Redskin onesies too!

Have you all tried any of the gender predictions? There is one that someone talked about on the Clomid buddy thread called the eye vein test. I've copied in what they wrote: "look in a mirror, pull down your bottom eyelid in each eye. One of your eyes should have a "Y" or "V" shaped vein in it just under the colored part of your eye. If it's in your right eye, you're expecting a boy. If it's in your left eye, you're expecting a girl." They swear by it and said it has been right for her and 4 other friends. I've thought boy since I found out but sure enough my Y vein is in my right eye, so if it's accurate it should be a boy!
 
Redskins- I am a big time Eagles fan (born and raised in Philly) but DH is from Ohio, so he is a big Bengals fan. Unfortunately, we live in Pittsburgh, but we share a mutual hatred of the Steelers, so it works.
So yeah, my doctor would never give me an early gender scan! I'm paying for it at a private place so I can know when we go home for Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Mom has a $100 off coupon to the coach outlet, so I'm getting a diaper bag from there. I'm totally impatient and I have a need to be overly organized, so I need to know ASAP. All the gender predictors give me mixed results. I even bought the Intelligender. It said boy. I really hope its right. I'm going to go do your test now. :)
 
Did you do the test Sass??? What did you find???

hey Iluv... Usually we have to wait until 20 wks here... just cos I am so high risk they will also scan me at 16 wks and hopefully we can find out then..
 
Since I won't be able to have a gender ultrasound until week 20 (have my next at week 12, so will be too early), I'm thinking of going to a private 3d/4d place. Found one that offers gender analysis and other cool pictures as early as week 14, for $85. I think finding out that many weeks earlier is worth it, lol. Anyone else doing that?
 
Congrats never! So wonderful!
I'm doing it curly. Read back a page or so. But I saw my doctor today and told her and she said 16 was too early. I told her I don't care. I have to try.
So I did the test and I have a v under my right eye! But the v is not an exact v and the other eye s all bumbo jumbo. Is that ok? Anyone else try it?
 
Sass my friend found out she was having a boy at 16 weeks. It was actually a dating ultrasound as the midwife didn't believe her dates, but they were able to tell. And a girl on here found out she was "80% girl" at an emergency can around 16 weeks. Now she's 100% girl, but it's definitely possible!

I have a little y shaped vein in my left eye. Team pink for me? Time will tell I suppose!

I'm not getting an early gender ultrasound. My doctor actually goesn't do the anatomy/gender ultrasound until 24 weeks, so I'll have longer to wait than most. But DH and I both kind of want to stay team yellow. So we might not find out until the birth!
 
Isn't that funny? My doc gave me my script yesterday and told me to make it for 18 weeks. I asked about it seeming early, and she said it's just when they do it. :shrug:
 
They do something here in Houston called "Jack or Jill" testing that you can have done as early as 12 weeks. It's just part of the NT screening that looks for downs, etc, but they also look for the Y chromosome. If you have it, boy. If not, girl. I've read a lot about it online and haven't seen a single person say it was wrong. I asked my hubby about it this morning and he looked at me like I was crazy when I said I didn't want to wait till 20 weeks... lol. I see my doc next week, and you have to get a release from them to do it, so I'll see if she thinks it's ok. The girls said their insurance paid for it, since it was just part of the NT screening. So that seems like a winner to me!

Here's the link for where everyone has it done.

Wow! I've never heard of that J! I wonder why they font just offer it to everyone?
 
I don't know. It does seem like a fairly easy thing to test for and people could find out so much quicker. I'll update you after I talk with my doc about it on tuesday morning.
 
sorry for your losses ladies. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm convinced that we're having two girls, before we even started trying for kids I had dreams that we had twin girls or a single boy, always one or the other. Now that I'm pg I've had multiple dreams where we have twin girls, but I've also had one dream about a singleton boy. DH and I think it means we're having girls now and a boy down the road.
I have a scan on Monday and I can't wait! Unfortunately DH can't get out of work to go with me.
I don't think they'll do another scan until 20 weeks, but I should be getting extra scans since I'm considered high risk because of the multiples. I'm really hoping they'll do a 16 week scan!
