@pregnantbee: such a relief! We also told lo and she was running around saying "baby sister is growing in mommy's belllyyyyyy!" It was too cute. Someone is going to have major gender disappointment if it's a boy.
-
@Pirouette: Awwwwww so sweet. She'll get used to it if needed.
-
@pregnantbee: haha yea, but since I'm also convinced it's a girl, she might just be right!
-
@pwnstar: AWESOMMEEEEEEEEE!!! your other LO is a girl, right? wonderful news, congratulations!
PS feels like just a few days ago that you were saying your period came on the POAS board that I was "cheerleading but sitting out" on
-
@pwnstar: oh my goodness, congrats!!
-
@Pirouette: my daughter continues to insist it's a girl, to the point of getting angry when we try to remind her it could be a boy. She never watches tv but she was sick this week so I let her watch Stella and Sam, which is about a big sister/little brother- thinking that might help her. Nope. She is still like "NO. It's a girl."
And she's decided the nickname is birdie. -
@Pirouette: @dcw6411: @MrsSCB: @pregnantbee: @silva: @ZBug: @T.H.O.U.: @LCTBQE: @mrschickpea: Thanks lovelies!
@LCTBQE: Inorite?! The last six weeks have been such a whirlwind! LO is a girl, yes! I am so stunned that LO2 is a boy. You'd think with a 50/50 shot I wouldn't be this surprised!
We're excited to find out just how much fun little boys can be!
-
Haha I think I'm having a girl (and so does my nurse practioner), but DD says she wants a brother. We'll see!
-
@Silva: haha birdie! Too cute. I don't know if anything would convince her at this point that it's not a girl, but I'll hold off on fighting that fight unless I have to
@Zbug: interesting that your nurse practitioner weighed in! Was it based on hr? This baby's heart rate was 171, which made me think even more towards girl. I cant remember my daughter's in my first tri, I want to say low 160s
-
@pwnstar: I was SO surprised I'm having a girl this time. I thought for sure it was another boy because I feel exactly the same!
-
@Pirouette: Yes, based on heart rate of 170. I've read though that any correlation between high heart rates and girl isn't seen until later in pregnancy, but who knows! Hopefully, we will find out next week.
-
Has anyone started feeling baby move yet? I felt DD around 15/16 weeks, but I've heard you often feel subsequent kiddos earlier. I'm almost 12 weeks and thought I briefly felt a flutter this week, but it was probably just my imagination.
-
@pregnantbee: I do too! I feel the same, am putting weight on the same . . . I am so surprised! And a little nervous, too. I know that all babies are different, but changing the sex makes it feel like such a HUGE difference to me.
@Zbug: Haven't felt any movement yet (at 12.5 weeks). With LO, I was positive I felt her move at 18.5 weeks, although I realized then that I had felt her before but just didn't realize it. I'm not sure how much earlier I might feel this baby . . . maybe 16/17 weeks?! It's so hard to know--Definitely something I am looking forward to!
-
@Zbug: I'm so early (13 weeks) that I keep dismissing it, but for a few days now I keep wondering if I'm feeling flutters. Just at night when I am in bed and focus on it. I felt my daughter move at 18 weeks, but I'm sure it will be sooner is time because last time my husband could feel her by 20 weeks, so obviously I didn't notice until it was pretty strong.
-
@Zbug: I don't feel any movement yet at 15w. I don't think I had an anterior placenta last time, and maybe I really didn't know what to look for, but I didn't feel DS for sure until maybe 22-23w? I'm hoping I can figure it out sooner this time!
-
I have my NT scan tomorrow and I am SO nervous about it! I feel great, but for some reason I keep thinking something might be wrong. At least it's first thing in the morning (7:40 a.m.)
-
@MrsSCB: good luck! I go tomorrow at 9:30.
Does anyone know the window of time after the NT scan you have to get the blood work done? I have to go to a blood lab (not in office) and I just realized DH is OOT all next week and getting in for blood work is going to be really hard. If I wait a full week is that bad?
-
@T.H.O.U.: Thank you, and you, too! I don't know for sure if the time between the scan itself and the bloodwork matters, but my guess would be not really since they're both looking at different things? How far along will you be if you wait a week to do the bloodwork? The only thing I have been told is that NT scan needs to be done before 14 weeks, and I'm not sure whether that also applies to getting the blood taken.
-
@MrsSCB: I totally understand how you feel...I will be thinking of you tomorrow morning! Everything will be great
@T.H.O.U.: good luck to you too tomorrow! I can't see why it would matter - I think the only reason there is a time requirement for the nt is because of the measurements, but it wouldn't hurt to call your doc in the am just to make sure.
-
@MrsSCB: Will be thinking of you.
-
@T.H.O.U.: No idea about blood work. I got my first round blood taken around 11w, scan at 12w. Now I need to get second round blood work after 15w.
-
@MrsSCB: @T.H.O.U.: I will be think of you tomorrow! I was pretty terrified going into my CVS, and finally sighed a huge sigh of relief when I saw him kick around a bit! It's going to go beautifully!
-
@Pirouette: @pregnantbee: @pwnstar: Thank you, ladies
-
@MrsSCB: hope it goes well tomorrow!
I have an appointment in the morning, too, but it's a regular quick prenatal. I'm glad I have it because I've had an awful cold for a week now, with a weird ear thing going on for longer than that. I'm beginning to suspect some kind of sinus or ear infection because I just can't seem to get better, and have this weird pressure. Plus I can hear my pulse whooshing in my ear ALL the time and it's super annoying.
-
@Silva: thanks, and I hope they can help you out with your cold. It does sound like it could be some kind of ear infection, with the pressure you describe. I hope you start feeling better!
-
@MrsSCB: @T.H.O.U.: good luck to both of you tomorrow! very hopeful you get some reassuring news, and thank goodness it's so early in the morning. my NT is on Wednesday, realized I mis-dated it in our last appointment roster. it could not get here fast enough.
-
@Silva: how annoying--sounds pretty sinus-infection-y, although I've also gotten some intermittent clogged ears that I read are pregnancy related. are antibiotics for stuff like that safe to take?
-
Good luck to all you ladies with appointments tomorrow!
Anyone one both relieved and nervous to be feeling better? I'm 12 weeks today and have definitely been less nauseous and tired the last two days. It's nice, and I know also normal at this time, but I sort of liked the nausea assuring me everything was ok. I'm crazy.
-
@Silva: yes I believe there are some safe antibiotics and some safe allergy meds
-
I got a fever again this evening so I called. Over the phone they are still thinking viral, so just told me to keep my temp down with Tylenol and to stay hydrated. Saline nasal spray, that kind of thing.
My husband and I both spent the next hour reading studies linking fever during pregnancy and autism, but came out the other side not feeling worried yet (in those studies it was un managed fevers lasting a week). Insert crazy person emoji. -
@Silva: I'm sorry. I would say stay away from google, but I'm crazy too. I'm sure you have nothing to worry abt, and I hope you feel better soon!
-
@Silva: I'm sorry! I hope you feel better and that you don't give those studies another thought. Dr. Google is such a, in the words of Bridget Jones, *jellyfish.* ((hugs))
-
@T.H.O.U.: OMG squee sometimes I hate the Internet. Those bundles are adorable!
-
Appointment went well! Baby was moving around, heart rate 165. The nuchal fold measurement was in the normal range, so now we wait for blood work results. So far, so good! ETA: and waving baby photo
-
@MrsSCB: yay for great US and NT info.
-
@MrsSCB: *waves back* hi baby!!! yay for an awesome u/s! remind me, are you seeing the new doctor today too? I can't keep track with all the appts you made/changed haha.
-
@MrsSCB: Hooray! Hi, cutie! So glad it went well.
-
@MrsKerch: @Pirouette: @pregnantbee: Thank you! It's so cool how different the baby looks from the last time.
@Pirouette: Yes, I meet the new doctor today! Hopefully all goes well with that. And I also hope I don't have to wait as long... My appointment was 30 minutes late this morning, even though it was at 7:40 in the morning. That was a bit frustrating!
-
@MrsSCB: Hello lovely! So so glad everything went well!
-
@MrsSCB: Wonderful! I'm glad it went so well and that you were able to see your sweet bubs!
We're excited to find out just how much fun little boys can be!
