Oh hunny, I didn't even realize that your precious baby is a downs angel - I'm so sorry if I sounded insensitive when I said I was worried about my age and the baby's health... and I would love any child with all my heart no matter what, I guess it's just that we never want to see our children suffering or going through difficult times.... I am so glad to hear that you are going to try again t...

Thanks so much, newbaby..... every bit of encouragement helps. When I see you say that your youngest is very close with your oldest, I think of my two and how good they would be with a baby, especially my oldest (now almost 6), who is still hoping desperately that we will have another one. He is always saying how much he would like to teach the baby things and show the baby how to do things an...

Thanks so much for your replies, littlemunchkins and newbaby2011.... I am so sorry for your losses as well. It's so hard to know what to do. Newbaby, I also saw your post about the funeral home and your daughter's ashes... you must have been beside yourself about that. I do agree with you in that it doesn't seem right that her ashes would take up that many ziploc bags. What did you decide to...

I have just now come back to this board after many months of not even looking here. I posted back in July about the stillbirth of our daughter - which we have now found out was due to doctor negligence. It's a very long story but one that makes her death even more unbearable. We finally decided after Christmas that we would let nature take it's course and see if we conceived again. (We have bi...

Oh my dear, I am so sorry for your losses. I know all too well how you are feeling. I, too, am looking for some hope. In July 2012 my daughter was also born sleeping. We found out at Christmas when we finally got the autopsy report that she died due to doctor negligence. We have two boys at home and we were and still are devastated over losing our daughter. We have big fertility issues but ...

Thank you everyone, for such kind words. I am so sorry for all of your losses. Life is just too cruel sometimes. I do love my boys so very much and I am so grateful for them..... it's just so hard now not to feel like someone is missing - because someone IS missing. A piece of me is gone and I feel incomplete without it, without her. Some days it still feels so unbearable, even though it's...

Thank you again, everyone, for such kindness. My heart goes out to all of you who have lost a child, at any stage of life or pregnancy. I never in a million years ever imagined that it would happen to me. I guess we never do, do we? I take comfort in hearing that one day, the pain of this will ease and soften... but right now, I feel like it never will. This is very likely my last child so, ...

Thank you everyone, for all your kind words. It really does help to have support. I feel so broken right now and I feel like I will never get through it..... but I know I have to for my dear boys and in memory of her. I always knew that these sort of things happened and I always thought how cruel it would be to have to go through it, and now here I am, one of the ones going through it. I can'...

My husband and I have two wonderful boys and I had always felt like I was meant to have a daughter too..... I have had many down days over not having a daughter but I love my boys more than life itself and I was finally getting past the "hump"..... and then we found out in March that we were pregnant again. It was a big surprise because we didn't think we could have any more children. Even the...

Some of you will know me here as I have been on this board off and on for several years. I have always longed for at least one of each gender. My husband and I have two wonderful boys and I had always felt like I was meant to have a daughter too..... I have had many down days over not having a daughter but I love my boys more than life itself and I was finally getting past the "hump"..... and ...

I posted a similar question on the ultrasound gender prediction board but only got one answer..... at our 20 week scan the techs aren't allowed to tell us the gender, but they're allowed to put it in the report to the doctor. We didn't even say anything during the scan about gender because the tech told us right off the bat that he wasn't going to say anything about the baby until the end..... ...

Thank you so much, hopingforason! I guess we just stress about everything..... is there anyone else who can chime in too? As for the gender thing, I'm really curious about that one - would he really just have happened to notice if it was a girl, even though we didn't ask him to specifically check for gender? Or should we just assume that he must have seen a penis, since he wasn't even checking...

I'm just wondering a couple of things: how much does the placenta move by 20 weeks gestation? If the tech said that it was at the back and fairly central but a little more on the left than the right, could that mean that it might have started out more on the left? Also, if the tech wasn't specifically searching for a potty shot (that we knew of), would it have been just as easy for him to tel...

Absolutely OUTSTANDING post! Thank you for writing it - I think it's all so true. The gender of our children is really only a very small part of who they are - they are all precious SOULS who were sent to us and meant to be part of our families.... I really can't imagine either of my boys being girls and I don't know what I'd do without them.... I would love to have a little girl but I've be...

If I remember correctly, I think this has something to do with Jonas, but I can't be positive and I can't find the thread.... but here it is: it's about "sibling lineup" based on what the moon sign was when you conceived previous children. I know, it's a bit confusing, and it doesn't apply to your first child, but it basically states that whatever the moon sign was when you conceived your FIRS...

lucky, it looks like you might just be one of those ladies who is not affected by any of this. (And let's face it, it's probably all just in fun, anyway, although if you search past threads there do seem to be loads of ladies who biorhythms worked for for all their kids....!) but anyway, I think it's hard to say with you. Have you all checked your DH's biorhythms as well? I have read on other ...

Oh, my dear, I'm so sorry you didn't hear what you were hoping for, and I'm so sorry you're having to worry about a health issue. It sounds like that soft marker is one of those things that isn't that uncommon, and by the time he is born it will not be an issue. You do have precious boys, I must say! I know that everything people say sounds kind of trite right now.... but I do think that ther...

Oh my..... these gender issues can get so heated up, can't they? To the OP, I think what a lot of people are trying to say is that it's probably best not to come to any foregone conclusions right out of the gate, you know? Children - boys and girls - are little souls that are all different and wonderful in their own ways. Both boys and girls come with challenges. Some are gender-related, some...

Dreaming, I have seen a couple of your posts and I just wanted to say good luck with your ultrasound! If you were in girl bio time then I think you have a great chance for a girlie in there, especially if your bios were right for your boys..... have you checked your DH's biorhythms as well? Some people say they don't matter but some they they do..... I know you must be so nervous and I really ...

Okay, goodthings..... if you conceive on July 18, 2012, you will be in lean girl time because the emotional and physical lines will be at the very bottom, below the median line. Even if you end up ovulating a day or two on either side of that, you will still be in lean girl..... what are you hoping for? Either way, good luck!

My scalp is SO dry right now that I can't even believe it! It's the worst right after I wash it. I literally have to take a fine comb and comb out my dry skin because it seems like my scalp loses a layer of skin every time I wash it. It's SO annoying and so time consuming! I didn't have this with my other pregnancies so I'm at a loss as to what to do. I have tried shampoos like Head and Shoul...

At the 12 week u/s the baby was lying fairly low down by my pubic bone, with it's head sort of below and very slightly to the right of my belly button, and it's legs and feet stretching out towards my right side. She said my placenta was posterior, but I don't know what side it's on, and I don't know if the baby was facing my back or my front (or up or down for that matter!). Does that mean my p...
