Just popping in i found last week that i am in fact pregnant after a long battle with infertility 30months ttc and finally i got to see those two beautiful lines. i'm yet to go to the doctors since im over seas for two week i plan to go as soon as i'm home on the 30th december. so far ive peed on 6 different tests and they are all + and getting darker. Not to many symptoms going on just a little restless trying to sleep, boobs are sore and i'm hungry all the time. Any one else due around Aug 22nd ?

Hi All,

We would also be interested in anyones predictions re the skull theory. Thanks & will post the result in 4 weeks time! Also posted on ultrasound sub forum but am very disappointed to have only one reply[:'(] P.S I'm jumping over from Jan boards x

Feeling paranoid and stupid!

cp1584 — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 05:06:47 GMT

So Im pregnant with my 4th (3 boys, finally a girl this time around) and I just went tubing and boating.Im not sure why but I thought nothing of it... I felt comfortable on the boat and tube. I am now being ridiculed by everyone I know saying how unsafe that is for the baby. Im 33 weeks along. The water was wavy and we did hit bumps, but why after 4 pregnancies did I not think this was stupid or unsafe?Im totally paranoid about baby girl being hurt or coming out with problems. Does anyone know side effects on the baby of excessive bumping? All I keep reading is that it can cause premature labor...I went a week ago and feel fine and baby girl is moving around like normal. Besides telling me how stupid I am, does any one have any information on this? Thanks! I see my midwife Monday- should i say something or no?

Hi girls

Winterdreams — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 06:21:54 GMT

I was around in the beginning but there were so many issues with the site i gave up and went else where. Sadly I am now the last person still pregnant on the other forum and I'm in need of a place to 'hang' in till this little one arrives. Can we do a quick head count and induce ourselves. EDD? Expecting? For me 20th August expecting a baby boy.

Natural Vs. Medical

ByeBye_NotWorth the time — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 20:52:39 GMT

So my story.... My first two boys my water broke and I had typical medical delivery pitocin was given to speed it up and then I requested epidural. My last son I was induced again had pill to start contractions then pitocin then epidural. All three normal vaginal deliveries no complications. I am older now and more experienced and I have wondered "what is labor like WITH NO medication" "What do NORMAL contractions feel like" I have decided to take the step to have a natural no medication birth. I felt like I would regret not really giving it a good go naturally at least once. I have hired a doula and I am in the process of changing over from a regular OB to a Certified Nurse Midwife. I am trying to surround myself with all the support people I can to be successful at this. Although I will still give birth at the hospital it will be the natural route. I feel so empowered and excited to be doing this, it is the right choice for me at this time of my life. I feel like I am ready and I am equipping myself to be successful. What are your experiences? Any advice?

Body Aches?

ByeBye_NotWorth the time — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 20:57:28 GMT

I feel like I have been hit by a truck today!! It started this week with one of my knees really bothering me, it felt weak and chalked it up to sleeping on it wrong. Then the other knee had same symptoms, I looked up on internet and found that it is caused by the hormone that makes ligaments loose...etc. Now today my WHOLE body aches ugh. I hope this is just a temporary symptom. I have too much to do to deal with this pain. I can barely do stairs by the end of the day my knees hurt so bad. I have only gained about 10lbs so far with this pregnancy so I can't really blame the weight. Has anyone ever experienced these type of pregnancy symptoms?

August Mommies- Are you finding out??

ByeBye_NotWorth the time — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:29:39 GMT

I booked a private u/s for March 3rd to find out the gender of the baby. They said the room is really large and I can bring up to 12 people, so we are inviting our close family and bring all my boys. It is a 3D/4D scan. I am excited I think it will help if it is a boy to have more people there to find out at the same time, more exciting. If it is a girl everyone will go NUTS because we have NO girls on our side of the family AT ALL! Either way I figure it will work out great for us. Is anyone else finding out next month? I will be about 16/17 weeks by then.

UPDATE: It's A.....

ByeBye_NotWorth the time — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 19:09:50 GMT

GIRL!!! We are over the moon and I am in shock!!! Already went pink shopping this morning ;-)

Please Please!!Anyone give me some info, Nuchal fold......I am begging..

ByeBye_NotWorth the time — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:53:58 GMT

Ok I just got back from the review of my 20 week anatomy scan and they found at 20 weeks 2 days that the Nuchal Fold is measuring 7.1mm-7.3mm and that the nasal bone appears to be hypoplastic. These two things could have a chance of my baby having down syndrome, I have to go see a specialist now. I am left wondering how often these measurements are accurate in determining down syndrome. Has anyone experienced this? What was outcome? Babys measurements? I attached profile of the baby, whil the nose does look petite/pointy could be the angle of the pic but she does have a nasal bone, just a small nose?

how are all the August mom 2 bes doing? any updates?

Canadianttc#4 — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:19:24 GMT

Gender prediction

Jayde — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 04:56:03 GMT

Was wondering if anyone else has been doing the gender prediction like mad..??? I have done the drano test (yes I know I know) but hubby mixed it and I stayed inside and looked the the glass back door... I have also just rushed down town to the cabbage test.. I am now the proud owner of a red cabbage..!! Will do the test tomorrow..!!! I have also just found out about the baking soda test.. Yes I now also have baking soda..!!! I feel like a mad woman on a mission.. I have my gender scan in about 2/3 weeks...!!! But that seems like a life time away..!!! I have even fell victim to fortune baby and yes I paid the $20 to know the answer..... I know it seems a little pathetic right....??? I am just so intrigued and this will defiantly be the last baby so I am also looking at this as a last time thing... Tell myself that makes me feel not so mad

Fatigue and Nausea starting to kick in!

ByeBye_NotWorth the time — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 20:36:55 GMT

Going on week 9 and fatigue and nausea starting to kick in. I can't complain about the nausea because I had it WAY worse with my first two boys. I scheduled my first OB appointment for Jan. 13th. I am so anxious to know the sex of this baby, I can't hardly stand it!!!! I can't wait to see an u/s of this little miracle. :-) How is everyone feeling? Happy New Year!

Goodbye :(

kburns — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 02:30:40 GMT

happy life — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:35:09 GMT

Hi ladies i just fell like sharing this with you's

During this pregnancy am kind of trying to lock my self at home i dont like to talk about this pregnancy at all even to my husband when he asks me how am felling i just say am fine, all our family friends they always tells me we wish you have your baby boy they are very nice people all of them have boys and girls so they always tells me they ask god to give me a boy to complete my family i know they mean it in a nice way but i always tend to get angry when they say it.

Today i went to visit my mum and my SIL were there as well, mum asked me about how am felling and why am always home than she said she been felling like am living in adepression because of my pregnancy and i got really angry i started to cry i dont know why and she felt really bad about me and they were just trying to say i shoudnt keep my self away from every one even if i have a third girl its not the end of the world and i felt really bad i dont know i said that but i told her ( i wished i never got pregnant am just not ready to have my thir child and i wish i could miscarrge this pregnancy ) after i said these world i felt like a mountain fall on my head i didnt know how could i say that in my heart i love this baby and am waiting for it and am trying my best to never think its aboy even thou all my symtoms given me 50% chanc eit might be aboy i just want and trying to move the thought of this baby might be aboy i dont ven say that infront of my husband i just tell every one i fell its 100% girl ,i went back home i started crying for so long i love this baby and i know i will provide 100% care and love for it i always wished for a boy but with this pregnancy i just want to prepare my self for athird girl even when i go shopping i never look at the boy section i always go to the pink section and i look at the blue side with aching heart am almost 12 weeks now and all i want is to have this baby with full health am worried i might have this baby and there is something wrong with it because of what i said today am felling to broken

Time for me to leave you ladies, I've miscarried :(((

Perla one day — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 19:43:01 GMT

Ive had the worst time girls. On Thursday evening, I started bleeding lightly, went to ER on Friday morning, ultrasound couldn't detect the baby.:(((. The gyno said that I would probably miscarry, only 2% chance of a good outcome. I hang onto that 2% until this morning when I started bleeding properly, so I guess that's it, it's over. This is the hardest thing I ve ever had to cope with, it's just so cruel to be given something and have it taken away. Maybe I'm being punished for so desperately wanting a daughter, who knows! it's just one of those things that you never think will happen to you. Anyway I truly wish you all healthy pregnancies. Good luck ladies

First Appt. went well!

ByeBye_NotWorth the time — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 23:47:37 GMT

I got to see my little peanut on ultrasound today, it was so awesome :-) heartbeat looked good. I won't get another u/s until 20 weeks for anatomy scan. I am most likely going to get a private 4d scan at 16 weeks because I am SOOO IMPATIENT! ;-) How are all the August mommies?? Anyway here is my peanut pic...lol it was alot clearer looking at it live.

Cramping

Winterdreams — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 19:42:19 GMT

Is the cramping normal? I've had no bleeding or spotting just feels like tiny af pains and a pain in my cervix from time to time.
