@Beaut1ful You're so close! I can still remember reading about your BFP and seems like it was only a couple months back (although I'm sure it has felt much longer to you!) Good luck for the next few weeks.
@vs1234 were you able to find out the gender?! Happy belated birthday!
I'm 8 weeks today and had my first appointment but haven't had a single test yet so I don't know much (I opted out of the ultrasound to date the pregnancy since I am sure of the date). I should at least get to hear a heart beat in 2 weeks and then will have an ultrasound between 11 and 14 weeks. I should also find out the gender with blood test around the same time (which I had no idea was possible but since I am past 35 years old they do this additional blood test and can tell the baby gender which I am excited about!) so I'll have more of an update then.

ahh ladies, everything is so exciting to read!! Glad everyone is going well!

Hi ladies, so we did kind of find out the gender but not 100% sure. We had one of those 3D ultrasounds where they assure they´ll tell you the gender. We went in and saw our baby (doing great by the way) and then try so see what it seems to be HER parts. She opened her legs for about 2 seconds, enought for the ultrasound tech to say "it seems like we have a little girl here", but then she closed them and resisit to open them again. So basically we couldnt get an actual image taken. So we kind of think we are having a girl, but we are not 100% sure. The good news is that its policy of the place we went too that if you dont get to see the gender during the first try they give you a second chance. We are leaving to the beach next week, so we are planning on going the next (wed 24 to be exact). So until then to find out our baby´s gender.

@agatch I have heard of the test you are getting, they do it where I live but only if you are over 35 or if you get a negative or risk triple screaning. Our triple screaning came back as low risk so we didnt have the option to do it, and it. Its really cool you are finding your baby´s gender so fast, my SIL had it done because she was 40 when she got pregnant with our newphew and they were able to find out he was a boy at week 11!! I hope time passes quick and you come to us with great news of hearing your baby´s heart beat and knowing the gender too.

vs1234 that's very exciting, I can't remember if you said you were hoping for a girl or a boy but any healthy baby is a blessing

agatch i had the harmony blood test at 11 weeks that does the abnormality testing as well as gender testing instead of the scan and its just amazing what they can do these days.

As for me, I am 17w4d and all the emotions are hitting me this week, the thoughts if i'll be good enough and can i really afford to have a whole year off and all sorts of silly things.. the joys of pregnancy hahaha

Hello ladies! I just wanted to drop a line and see how everyone has been doing lately. Hope your all well:)

hello ladies, I'm sitting on 27 weeks today but measuring 2 weeks ahead. Not much to report but a mild cold, awful cough and sore throat...any remedies?
I've booked my glucose test which I'll have my two little munchkins with me (school holidays and all) luckily it's only 2 hours but you never know with these places, it could be 3+.
How are you all going? updates?

@ confuzed 27 weeks already!! Time flies by so fast! I hope you start feeling better, I swear I had a cold for 90%of this pregnancy so far lol and hopefully your glucose testing goes as quick as it can so your other kiddos don't lose their patience! Let us know how it turns out.

We announced our pregnancy today, we hid it so well for 21 weeks! Our families were shocked!

Thanks roo, will do. how are you lovely? Not long to go for you, have you had the nesting feeling yet?
Lindsay, how'd you manage hiding it for so long? how was your reveal? lovely photo by the way.

Oh i do hope you feel better soon Confuzed! All i can think for the sore throat is Ginger and Lemon tea with honey if you like it a little sweeter like i do!
Rooroo, you are so close now, how exciting is that! I'm excited for you!
As for me I am 18w4d and my partner said to me last night "you look so much more pregnant than you did yesterday" and i'm definitely starting to feel it! I will look at buying some maternity pieces soon!
