@renee I'm sorry you didn't get your little girl but a little boy is a great blessing so Congratulations!! You look so beautiful!! Love that pic!

Vs- What a relief to hear things are great and congrats on finally reaching that 13 week milestone..that's what it felt like for me anyway!

Shark- im so sorry to hear your news and completely understand how you would be feeling. Please try not to blame yourself for any of these results, unfortunately we cannot influence the development of little bubba and nothing you have done would have caused these conditions, i will be thinking of you!

Beaut- aww baby’s head is already down? That’s exciting! Can’t wait to see baby when it’s born!

Renee - i'm sorry you didn't get the result you were hoping for but i'm still so excited for and you look absolutely stunning my dear.

As for me, I am just so happy that bubba boy is healthy and that i'm finally starting to show a decent bump which what i've been looking forward to most! I'll try and post a decent photo as i'm 16 weeks on Friday!

Hi ladies, thank you all for your kind words. I went out this weekend and bought the first baby outfit and I can’t describe it but it felt so good. We are finally planning a future for this baby. I cant wait until our next appointment when we find out the gender and maybe I´ll go crazy and go out and buy the whole store!!
@Renee I can totally get why you wanted a baby girl since you already have a boy. But on the bright side you are always going to be the center of attention at home. I have a couple of friends that have two boys, and most of them had your same reaction when they found out about the gender during their second pregnancies, but now they are as happy as they could be.
@Samantha I’m happy that you are already showing. I started wearing maternity pants a couple of weeks ago, but they are huge on me. I’m wearing them mostly because all my other pants where uncomfortable on my belly but not really because I’m showing. I kind of want to start showing too, but I have only put on 1.5kg so I think I wont show until I’m at least 20 weeks.
@Shark Im really sorry about the bad news. Not that this is going to make things any better but I do want to say that I have a cousin with down syndrome so I know that heart defects can be a complication, but as well I can tell you its not always present. As many have said, you can still have a heart defect and be perfectly healthy in every other aspect. Try and stay positive and trust your doctors, its all you can really do right now.
@Confuzed How is your morning sickness going? My obgyn told me the nauseas are supposed to go away as soon as the second trimester started, but tomorrow I start week 14 and Im still nauseas all day every day. What test did they perform to check for HG, Im a little scared I might have it too.
@Beautiful Im sorry about the gestational diabetes I hope they are getting it under control. On the other hand Im really happy that the head is already facing down, everything is just on track!
@Rooroo It would be really nice for you guys to have your baby on the day of your father´s birthday, it would be a special way to remember him every year, and for your baby to have some connection with his grandfather.
Sorry for the long message I just wanted to address everyone’s latest posts, I never have the time to write to everyone separately and Im happy to finally be able to do it.

Hi ladies! Happy to see everyone :) I'm finally growing a bit of a bump.. yay! And starting to think of names... which I suck at apparently. At this rate baby will be no name lol

Hi girls. Love reading all your positive stories! I wanted to drop in and wish you all good luck as I will be leaving this board. We were diagnosed with a blighted ovum at 7 weeks. I'm now just waiting for my cycle to reset so we can try again. Good luck to everyone and thanks as always for all of the love and support!

I am so sorry to hear the sad news lissa. My thoughts are with you at this time and wish you all the luck in your next cycle.
Much love.

16 weeks tomorrow and experiencing the craziest feeling.
I feel like i am completely full after a huge meal but i have been feeling this all morning, i tried snacking and drinking water but the feeling remains, perhaps its ligament pain or bubs is growing? I've been pretty regular so i don't think it's constipation. Has anyone felt something similar? Looking forward to some possible answers!

Samantha.
I get that feeling randomly! Last night I felt so full when I went to bed even though I hadn't eaten for hours. I just figured something was getting g stretched or moved. I tend to get it more at night, i am 15 weeks

Thanks Espence, good to know i'm not experiencing something odd!

hey mommies.. Thank you all for the encouraging words.. After a string of bad news, i finally started hearing some gud stuff. I have met the dietitian and diabetic dr and started on some oral medicine to keep sugar in control and after a week, it seems to be working. So eating the most healthiest diet is the key right now. Well, it can get frustrating and depressing that i can't indulge in desserts or carbs like even rice anymore and im sure the journey is much more worthwhile and it's only for another 2 mths so im sure its gonna pass by fast. Maybe this will also help me to control my sugar in the long run and save myself from any diabetes as i grow older..

Went for baby's growth scan yesterday. It was a huge relief to know he is growing healthily. Weighing 1.4kg at 29 weeks and it is within the range. It was too cute to see him covering his left side of the face with his hand. So far all scans, he is either facing down or covering his face.. Even our dr was laughing that he seems to be a shy boy. His head is already down however not engaged yet. Dr was mentioning that its still early but he might stay this way too since he is growing bigger and lesser space to move around.

Enjoying all the wriggles and kicks.. Love the way he will start moving and kicking when he hears the sister's voice. My eldest is 6 and she loves singing to my tummy before bedtime and watching and feeling him move around is just so heartwarming. Hope the love grows more between them...

Hope everyone else is doing great too.. :)
