I know I'm quite a bit late but I'm expecting a little girl July 1st. I'm now 21 weeks pregnant. I have a 1 year old who will be 2 in May. It's all crazy to think I'll have 2 kiddos.

@espence- sneak peak home test?? What’s that and why haven’t you told me of this! Lol.

@photo- oh my gosh!! That’s great news! I’m so excited for you guys, that would be so awesome if they were identical twins too. I always wanted twins but I’m done after this one. I don’t think I could handle 4 kids. So I’ll stick with 3. Lol.

@kristy- welcome to the group! The more the merrier! Congratulations on your little girl!

Renee! The sneak peek blood test.... it's a kit you order online, your prick your finger and send the sample back to them... they email you the results in like 72 hours! And you can do it anytime after 9 weeks.
It's around 80$ but I want to know right now!!!

Welcome to the party Kristy!
Congrats!

@renee, they sell one at my local chemist where you pee in cup and it turns either blue or pink, I'm slightly tempted to try and see if it actually works or just for fun
@photo, I'm 18.5 weeks at the moment it's getting better in terms of sickness etc just finding it harder to sleep due to the ever growing bump.
@kristie, welcome darling and congratulations, how are you feeling?

Ladies our group is expanding and so many expecting girls! I am secretly hoping for team pink but I guess we'll see in around 22 weeks time.

So not much to update, my other two munchkins had the flu last week and guess who has it now, goodie me feels as sick as I felt at 5 weeks, other than that I've got a midwife appointment next week and then 20 week scan the week after, can't believe I'm almost half way through considering how terrible pregnancy has been for me since day 1.

Updates ladies, where's everyone at in their pregnancy? How are you feeling? Anything you didn't expect to happen and it did? Current cravings etc.

Confuzed..the Harmony test isn't compulsory, it's just more comprehensive than the Nuchal Translucency test. It's costing us $395 and isn't covered by Medicare.

Hi ladies, I´ve been away for a little while since I´ve been feeling real sick lately. Yesterday we got our 7w5d ultrasound and we got to hear the heartbeat. We are so happy but nervous too. We have our next appointment in 3 weeks and I think Im going to be biting my nails until that day comes.
I see so many new faces on the group and Im sorry I don’t address you all, but Im so happy that you are joining the group, the more the merrier. I also see so many gender revels and I can tell you guys that at our home the gender thing is becoming a big conversation topic. My husband is set on a girl, he doesn’t even want to accept the fact that the baby might be a boy. On the other hand my mom is set on a boy, she says she´ll be happy either way but that she really wants the baby to be a boy. The truth is I don’t care, I just want healthy.
Since they are in this little feud I might break it when we get the Triple Screening test (Im not sure if is the same as the other tests girls are talking about in the group) but you get it done between week 10 and 13 and they check for down syndrome and a lot of other things, and they give you the baby´s gender too. We have a history of down syndrome in my family, and if the baby has it we´ll be ok with it, but we really want to prepare for any complications.
As I was saying, Im planning on breaking the feud by revealing the gender inside of a cake. If the inside of the cake is blue it’s a boy and if the inside is pink is a girl. We did this for a friend´s baby shower two years ago and it turned out to be pretty nice seeing everything around the table waiting for her to cut the cake.

Hi ladies, hope you are all well.
I'm having a slight freak out because I've forgotten to take my prenatals over the last few days.
I know how important they are for development and fighting neural tube defects. I am 10 weeks today and am only so concerned as i haven't been eating much as i'm having aversions to veggies and chicken...
Have any of you gone through this? Looking for reassurance. Thanks

Hi everyone.
I just got what I hope is positive test yesterday, so if everything goes ok,we will be getting our #4 in november. Now I'm just so excited that I couldn't sleep and woke up at 4am! We've been working on this baby from october (which is a long time for us, because with other kids I always got pregnant in 1st or 2nd try). So, super excited!

I added my test photo, what do you think? I'm not just seeing things, right?

@samantha, don't worry about your prenatals that much. By 10th week, neural tube is formed, so folic acid doesn't have much impact anymore. And chances for neural tube defects are 1/2000when not taking folic acid, folic acid lowers it to 1/8000 - so you see, a few missed pills didn't do any harm.

Sam, I've had two healthy babies and not taken any pre natals - don't worry to much you'll be fine.
