I never thought I'd be grateful to be sick, lol!
Im delighted to hear your scan went so well, and you've reminded me to book mine! Did you get a pic? :-) Will you get a 3D/4D scan? I really want to get one done but must suss where to get them in cork.
Yep, got a few pics and it looks like a proper little person. It's amazing. We're having a little boy which was a bit of a surprise, was convinced it was a girl. Girls are supposed to make you sicker, can you imagine how bad I would have been if I was having a girl?! :eek:
Not going to do a 3D scan because we saw so much yesterday, if she hadn't been able to tell the gender or it wasn't so definite we would have got one but we're happy enough with what we saw. Also, I've volunteered for two studies so will get two more free extra scans from the hospital as part of it which is fab. You should definitely get one done - see what is causing you all the trouble
Oh, did I say anything to you before about the dentist? I can't remember. I have to get some fillings because of getting sick so much. The baby is taking the nutrients from my teeth as well, the little divil :eek: Just wanted to give you a head up that if you are a puker it may be a good idea to go to the dentist when it eases up a bit to see if any damage has been done. The dentist says the enamel will start to recover but the cavities won't magically fill themselves

This pleases me and worries me. I can go in a week earlier but my baba could be massive.
She reckons 7-8lb on delivery day!! And babas head is down and has been for few weeks am happy bout that
Also there was glucose present again and high blood pressure
So gotta keep resting every so often (which I'm not good at)
Least I know what size clothes to be buying
To me, that sounds like a good thing. Hopefully you'll just go a bit earlier than you thought rather than have a massive baby later Not knowing due dates is a bit of a pain though, isn't it? I wish you could book an appointment with the baby and say "you will arrive on this day" and it would have to do it!
Were they worried about the glucose much or just enough to tell you to rest? I've had a few episodes of being told to rest completely and I know it's harder than you think. 0 -

If I hadnt had the GTT test done last month they would be annoying me about it but I got the all clear there so they gotta just accept I'm odd!
Yea am thinking baby will be here before April 10th
That makes me smile a lot. Some women have to wait what am sure feels like forever passed due date
I cant wait that long at all. Am gonna stock up on baby clothes now this week and next week0 -

7-8lbs is a good weight i am been told high 8lbs + but they wont change my dates and consultant wouldn't tell me what weight he is now at 33 weeks she just said we're looking at a good 8lbs + close to due date. Gp tells me im measuring about a week to 10 days ahead of due date. Needless to say i haven't bought any new born stuff. everything is 0-3months. I met a women in the coombe yesterday with her grand-daughter she was waiting on her daughter, the baby was 6 days old and she was 7lb 5 born and she reckons she wont last much longer than a week in her new born babygrows. She was a gorgeous little thing.
At first i was think im afraid to have a big baby but i suppose you have to think they will be sturdy and you might not be as nervous holding them etc. that's the way im thinking anyway! 0 -

Poor you, I'd feel the same. Does your mum definitely have to go on the trip? Hopefully you'll go late anyway and everyone will be around.Synyster Shadow wrote: »yeah I'm enjoying the fact the baby will be sturdy I know its strong its well able to make me jump!!
I had a long day yesterday and was upset after my appointment not because of medical things but because I and hubby said we didnt wanna know what we were having and I went to the appointment on my own and the doctor blabbed what I'm having so I spent the day wondering if I should tell hubby or not and by the time I picked him up from work I had to tell him I hide nothing from him. Course I cried telling him and I thought he would be annoyed but he wasnt he was upset for me cause now I know and dont get the surprise he's getting at the birth so she's made the next 9 weeks longer for me I'v to make sure not to let it slip to hubby and not let anyone know I know cause they'll keep at me and I want me and hubby to know first!
I'm still upset today I feel like I'v a secret and I know that sounds stupid but things aren't as I'd planned at all now. I struggled when I got out from the appointment all the women (one of them my friend from school, due a week after me) asked if I found out and I didnt know what to do I just said no and near ran out the door. I still cant buy the colours that are appropriate I hate this feel so let down! but I will NOT let hubby find out not gonna ruin it for him. Bless him and been upset for me, they really can surprise ya I thought he would flip!! This aint helping my blood pressure :P
Can't believe they blabbed like that! Don't be upset, it was still a surprise for you and your hubby, just a little bit earlier. Anyway, they can only tell to an 85% accuracy on scans so it's not definite anyway. I wouldn't be rushing out to buy certain colours of clothes even if you did want to know. I know a girl who was told the wrong sex and then had a surprise in the end anyway (she was told girl and had a little boy)
Are you sure you won't feel better if you tell your husband? I know you didn't want it but you might feel a bit better if the secret is shared and then it'll be like this really nice thing that you both know but nobody else does.0 -

Are you sure she wasn't just saying him/her or she/he because it's nicer than saying it? If they just referred the baby using those terms than I would take that with a pinch of salt. Some doctrs/sonographers use one gender terms to refer to baby because it's easier.
If she didn't say "it is a girl/boy" then I'd be thinking she may not have even told you!
As you say, 9 weeks isn't too long to wait either 0 -

It can make you feel lonely, I have absolutely no friends and family that can be there when I have the baby so I know the feeling. I only have my partner, but if the baby comes early and my son isn't at his nan's down the country, he will have to mind him and I will literally be completely alone in the hospital. It is really scary to have to think like that.Synyster Shadow wrote: »yeah I'm enjoying the fact the baby will be sturdy I know its strong its well able to make me jump!!

On Synyster, that's horrible. I would hate to find out if I didn't want to. And it probably feels like a huge dirty secret to you. xxx
My partner will be going to my scan with me in March, the anomaly one, and he is trained to read animal sonograms so he is thinking at a particular angle he probably will be well able to read it, and we are discussing now if he does find out what to do. I'd like the surprise at the end of it all, but at the same time, I would probably just get him to tell me. We're the same, we hate secrets.0 -

She said "you know its a ******** then" and when she seen my face she kept saying sorry!! 0 -

What a bitch! That's awful. You think she would have some sensitivity about it.
I just found out I'm having a boy. I had to ask the sonographer and she said are you sure you want to know before she told us. I don't think she would have even offered to tell us unless we asked.0 -

Gotta make sure hubby dont see this......might edit that post me thinks
I'll edit mine than too
Everyone I've told is really surprised that I found out. I thought most people had a surprise. We had our own reasons for finding out and I'm really glad we did but I understand why people don't want to.0 -

Think been its our first and I was told most my teen-adult life I wouldnt have a baby without IVF and it happened by surprise and we wanted this to be the added surprise! but I'm so happy its what it is but had it been the other sex I would have been just as happy
Just want to share the joy with him at the birth rather than been 9 steps ahead so to speak0 -

Awh Synster Shadow that was really awful and not very professional for them to tell you. We found out but we asked sonographer to write sex down at 21 wk scan in early Nov and we sealed the envelope and opened it Xmas morning it was so exciting, but during that time i had a dream that i was in hosp and nurse let slip to me what i was having and i was very disappointed even tho we were going to find out, in the dream I hadn't opened the envelope and that's the way we wanted to do it, i was really really angry annoyed and upset and even for the day or two after the dream i actually felt like i'd been told so i can only imagine how you must have felt, turns out that what the nurse told me in my dream was what we are having
Like the other posters said the sex is not 100% and people have had surprises and when we found out i was still a tad reluctant to buy anything colour specific until after my consultants appt when she double checked and confirm the sex. but we had told her we knew so she start showing us on the scan how they tell. We are so happy to know but i completely understand and respect peoples decision not to find out. Here's hoping the next 9 weeks fly for you xx0 -
