In my first pregnancy, I was worried about gaining too much weight. Unfortunately, I had a lot of bleeding and ended losing 10 pounds in the first trimester.

My second pregnancy, I was so happy I had no bleeding that I celebrated with food way too much. I ate even when I was not hungry. Never lost the baby weight from that one.

This time I want to be balanced, but this hunger is insatiable. I'll be 7 weeks Thursday and so far haven't gained a pound, but I'm sure they will come. Snacks with protein help a bit- cashews, a glass of milk (I would never have poured a glass of milk for myself in the past). We just moved away from the East Coast, and we're now in a smaller town where everyone drives and the sedentary lifestyle is killing me. Fortunately I work on a big campus, so I make a habit of walking from one side to the other at least a couple of times a day and I make those hikes count!
 
Has anyone decided if they are finding out the gender or not? DH and I have always said we wouldn't want to, I bet it'll drive family mad! We want the boy/girl surprise to be part of the excitement when they finally arrive.
 
We will probably find out. This was surprise pregnancy and we thought we were done at 3 kids. I don't think I can wait 9 months. Plus, my boys will probably have to end up sharing a room when the baby comes. They all have their own room right now, but I definitely will need a space for nursery. We have an extra bedroom in the basement, but that is jus too far away for little ones a night. My daughter will be 8 this year, I won't make her share a room even if it is a girl. I feel there is just too much of an age gap. We did not find out the gender our first(DD) and it was such a lovely surprise:)

I think we will stay team yellow too x
 
Team yellow here! I didn't want to find out with DS but DH and my best friend pressured me and I caved so this time I get my way!!! :haha:
 
Soooo many lovely conversations I can't keep up.

Loving the 2-3 LaraLoo. I have one burning up my bedside draw. Trying to resist until Thursday as that will be a week since I got 2-3 weeks!

They changed thge Frer and loits of people don't seem to like them I had to wait 48 hrs for Frer progression so maybe try a bit later.

Snow day!!! So jealous.

I want to find out gender. Stayed team yellow with DD but really want to find out this time. dh doesn't but I am hoping to override that!!!
 
Re private scans in UK- I have booked one with BMI hospital for 29th Jan but need to move it as I double booked! Going with hospital as last time I had one at BabyBond but although saw heartbeat it was very fast and baby was measuring behind but I felt they were unqualified to comment really.I miscarried two weeks after the scan and I felt someone more qualified could have picked up on the abnormalities and warned us there might be an issue :shrug: I will be just 8 weeks.
 
Snow day sounds crazy since it will be 40 Celcius here today (105 F!)

We found out gender last time, and we will again, so I know whether to keep the clothes etc, or if I need some new ones. We also did buy quite a few gender neutral things with our daughter, so it wouldn't be too hard to get the few extras if we were having a boy. Even her things like her swing, cot sheets & her walker are all gender neutral so that we could use it again.

We get 3 scans here: an early dating scan around 8 weeks. Then you get one at 12 and then 20. You pay for the 12 week scan but the others are free.
 
I really want to stay team yellow as -fingers and toes crossed- this will be our last baby. Just not sure I'm patient enough- ive only managed it once! X

I've only managed to stay team yellow once as well!! I really think I will be too impatient to wait until the end.lol My hubby prefers not to know. So maybe he will miraculously change my mind by our 20 weeks scan:)
 
We found out with our son. And OH really wants to find out. He hates surprises. I thought it might be fun to try to wait, but I am ok with finding out too. Either way works for me!! We have NOTHING left from DS except his crib which the in-laws bought for us and it us beautiful, and we will have to buy everything new (or gently used!) anyway so that really isn't a factor. Most of what we had for him was hand-me-downs and second-hand and we passed it on to others when their time came. That and we have moved 5 times in the 6 years we have been together. That really makes you want to clean stuff out and not carry around things you aren't using right now.

This will be our last baby for sure, too. I didn't really celebrate my pregnancy with our son because we were so young and people were really apprehensive about it. This time I am going to do all the things I didn't do with DS.

I also had an early scan at baby bond, was measuring behind but said not too worry & all looked fine I had a bit of bleeding but she said it was nothing & a viable pregnancy two days later I miscarried. She actually said you are not miscarrying at the time 😞.

I'm not sure what other options I have on private scans as not much about here.
 
My private scan is with Face2Face at Hinckley and I think they have another place a little bit more south (Coventry way maybe?!). They're ex-nhs midwives, I think they're great, we've been there every time we've been pregnant. Roll on Saturday!

Team yellow here for the third time, I love the surprise and I love all the guessing :-D

Xx
 
We'll definitely find out, though since about day 1 I've been thinking boy. Last time I just knew it was a girl. We'll see if I actually have spidey-baby senses :)
 
Hoping to stay team yellow this time! Found out both times with the girls. I am very impatient though so we will have to see closer to the time.

I have been thinking of booking an early scan but not sure where is best and prices? What has other people paid in th uk for early scans?
 
We are 100% team yellow. We were with Maisie too, and my world was just complete when they said she was a girl. We already have names picked out for both sexes.

Our early scan is with My Ultra Baby. It's £75 for 15 minutes which is pricey but I think both OH and I would benefit from the reassurance following our loss. Looking on their website I think they are based in the south east only, but I may be wrong. I don't know any other companies to recommend on or not, so I'll let you know how we get on with this company.
 
I think there's a private place near us (Shrewsbury) called Baby Vision or something like that, no idea what they charge. I'm tempted to find out whether we're team blue or pink, but Mr Moo says that there are very few genuine surprises in life these days, so we should enjoy it. He's right I guess, and it IS fun everyone having their guesses and trying the old wives tricks. The only reason I'd want to find out is so I can know for certain whether I can start clearing out all of Sophie's old clothes!

I am in the same position as you. We got rid of everything as well. All we have left is the crib. But the crib was well used through 3 kids and may need buy a new one. My husband and I have been together for 14 years. We moved 7 times in our first 10 years!! It was not fun! But now we are in our forever home ad so happy not to be moving anymore:) This will be our last as well. Hubby is getting a vasectomy after baby is born.
 
There is a surprising amount of team yellows here! I wish I had all of your will power :haha:
