so how is everyone?

 Hi ladies, how is everyone? I havent been able to get on IG for about 3 weeks, those monkeys kept getting in the way! Hope everyone is doing well. I had a bit of a scare just over 3 weeks ago, i had some bleeding (ive never had any kind of bleeding in pregnancy before) so iad to go for an early U/S, thankfully everything looked ok, and a hb was seen. They couldnt date me accurately as by my dates i was only 7weeks, but the doc thought i may have been less than that when she did the scan, which is pretty normal for me, i ovulate pretty late so i normally get put back by around a 7-10 days! I didnt ovulate until cd20 this time so that probably explains why i didnt seem to be quite as far on as my dates, but i will have to wait and see what date they give me at my 12wk scan, for now my midwife is going by my lmp and that makes me due 4th may, but its now subject to change lol! 

How is everyone elses appointments etc going? are you having many symptoms? 

Those monkeys keep getting in my way too! :) Crazy monkeys. I got sick last week with what I think was part flu/part cold. I ALWAYS get this from about week 7 to week 8, so I was not surprised when it happened. However, during that time, ALL of my symptoms stopped. It freaked me out. Today, it came back with a vengeance. HAHAHAH! I feel wicked yucky today. As for my symptoms, this is what I have: Not really hungry. I graze throughout the day. No major aversions. I can eat anything, but in moderation. I dislike sour candy (which I loved with all my boy pregnancies) and olives and rootbeer. All of these were my favorite when I wasn't pregnant, so this is a new thing for me. NO SORE BB's!!!! This is weird for me. With the boys, I swear I went from nothing to porn star in the first two weeks of pregnancy and they hurt so bad! No lie! This one, no soreness and I'm still wearing my normal bra. My hair is falling out in clumps. I did just give birth in March, so I'm assuming it could still be from that, but I have no idea. My hair on my legs is growing at insane rates, while my boy pregnancies it grew really slow. I'm having all boy dreams. With my boy pregnancies, all I dreamed about was little girls. Zero sex drive but that could be because I was told that I have a subchorionic hematoma and I'm not allowed to have sex. Nausea is really bad at night. I had this type of nausea with my third pregnancy (a boy) so I don't think that's a reliable sign to what I'm having. I keep thinking that if I eat, it will go away and it doesn't. It actually makes it worse. That's all I can think of right now. How are you feeling?

seems like we have a few things in common, this is also baby #5 for me, and was a huge surprise! and i also just had a baby, but in may.  As for my symptoms, i have pretty bad morning sickness, i can barely face eating anything and when i do, it doesnt stay where it should....i was the same with my recent pregnancy and lost 56lb throughout the pregnancy from it and never regained any. Im hoping this time it wont last all the way through........out of my five pregnancies, ive only ever had morning sickness last time and this time, it made me so certain last time that i was having a girl as everything was so different. I now dont believe in symptoms being telling of a babys gender. my hair is also falling out like crazy which i do think is likely to be from the recent pregnancy, but its not good as already have very thin hair as it is, if it keeps going at this rate, i'll be bald in the next couple of weeks   Im sorry to hear about the subchorionic heamatoma. I also have no sex drive, and its killing DH lol! 

I think i'd still enjoy having a daughter if i had a girl this time, but i can say (at the moment) that i'll be just as happy with a boy or a girl this time as the pregnancy was such a surprise, i just feel like this little person is meant to be, whoever they are 

I completely agree! I'm assuming boy just because I have all boys already, but in all honesty, I wouldn't mind having a boy or girl. This is our last pregnancy and I can't wait. I feel like even though I just had a baby in March, I forgot about all the worry that comes with having a baby! I have always said that by the time I'm 30, I want to be done having children. Well, I'll be turning 28 two weeks after my due date, so I guess I did what I said I was going to do! I think that both of our babies were meant to be! I was told I would not get pregnant without fertility drugs (I used four rounds with my last son) and low and behold... BAM! :) My husband and I had a really hard time dealing with it at first because we wanted to wait at least a year, but the more we have thought about it, it works perfectly! My husband is in the military and really wants to get out next year, so the baby will be here two months before he's due to get out. I believe everything happens for a reason and this is definitely one of those cases! Are you going to find out what you are having? I just found a place here that will do a gender scan starting at 15 weeks. My doctors office does not do them until at least 20 weeks, so I know where I'll be going! :)
