Due September 2024 PART 2 💛🧡💚💙💜

[HoneyandSunshine]

I couldn’t see a part 2?? So I’ve created one. Hope its not a duplicate 🥲😂

@HRP1990 we really don’t mind what gender, but at the moment my gut feeling is boy & my OH thinks girl, so we shall see!

Does anyone else have a list of potential names picked out already?! We’ve been planning this bean for a very long time so it’s something we’ve tentatively discussed for ages!

@SC126 I am always burping when I get a nausea attack. The burp takes the sickness away for a minute or two haha

Do you know there’s this test you can do from as early as 6 weeks and it says your baby gender with 99% accuracy? It’s like a covid antibody test, they send you a kit, you provide with some blood, send it away and get results online.

We are the same having planned this for such a long time we have a list of names ready.,,. But almost too scared to talk about it yet!

Hi everyone! I got my positive on Monday clear blue digital but I've been doing boots cheap strips since and they're not very strong 😫 going to buy another digital to do tomorrow but super nervous!
This will be babe number 3! Have two little boys already!
How is everyone doing?

@Xur I’ve seen that kit being advertised all over my social media accounts! 😅 I don’t understand how on earth it’s possible?! I don’t think I could trust it personally!

@rupertbear91 I know exactly what you mean. Hopefully that can be a topic we can all enjoy discussing in months to come 🙏🏻❤️

@herestohoping1 congrats. I don't think some of the cheaper tests show very strong lines x

@Bakerbeanapparently how it works is they take the blood and look at the chromosomes in the blood. If in your blood there’s a presence of male chromosomes, then it must be a boy. If you’re not growing a boy then there shouldn’t be any male chromosomes in your blood.

@Xur wow, that’s crazy! Are you tempted to do it?

@Bakerbean yeah I have another scan tomorrow and if all is well in that one I’ll order one after holiday. You?

@HRP1990 your tool suggests a boy for me, I hope it's right! There's a teeny tiny part of me would like a girl (I blame Pinterest and baby clothes searches!) but ultimately a little boy would be perfect for us.

@Bakerbean yes we've discussed names already (did for the last few MC's so all in place already) if I have a boy he will be named after DH anyway as he's the 4th generation (so baby will be 5th) and it's fits with the business etc, plus I don't mind it else it would be a firm no 😂

@Xur there has to be something in that as with the NIPT tests at 10 weeks they tell you gender. We're tempted.

@Xur is it abit like the harmony test? I’m sure that’s a blood test to determine the gender too.

@MudandMoet aww fingers crossed for you! But even if not..shopping for girls clothes is the best!

@HRP1990 ahhh the idea of going on a spree with DH and then my bestie for baby clothes is something that really really excites me, to get to that point would be absolutely amazing.

Does everyone kind of wait until a certain point to start buying, say like 12/16 weeks or something?

My partner already pulled me in the empty room last week (we have an empty room in both houses that are designated for kids but are empty atm) and told me how he imagines the room, which furniture where etc. haha
@HRP1990 I am sorry I do not know what a harmony test is I’m afraid

Hi! Am I ok to join? 3+6 with my third. My other children are 6 and 5. I got my positive test at 8dpo and driving myself insane with testing! I’ve also had waves of nausea and heaving, which is incredibly early. I had severe sickness with my first but it only started at 5 weeks. Has anyone else started with nausea so early?

@Xur this is my 2nd but I've completely forgot when all my pregnancy symptoms appeared; so im a bit anxious that although i have some they arent strong I'm tempted to get an early scan and I got a 7vweek one woth my DD which helped with the nerves with waiting for the 12 week one.

@Bakerbean - pregnancy the best reason In the world for feel so shite 🤣!
Yeah going by my last period I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow! But I have PCOS so I think I ovulated a bit later, I think I'm actually around 7+4...
I've debated an early scan so many times the wait is torturous!!

@HRP1990 I was thinking the exact same.. " if I have another girl that will work perfectly because I've saved so many clothes".. except my daughter was born in March so that won't add up at all 🙈 ah well another excuse for shopping!!

For those that have already had children, I'm wondering whether we'll start to show any earlier this time round??

@ForeverHopeful67 my DC was born in March too! I’m thinking the newborn sleepsuits/vests we already have should be okay for the first few months but that’s it 🙈

@Xur that’s so exciting, will definitely keep a close eye on the thread to see if you do decide to do the test! I think we would wait to get the classic gender scan via the NHS - but, that’s an awful long way away yet and I could easily get impatient 😅

After saying earlier I have barely been cramping, I have been cramping alllllllll afternoon 😩

With DD we paid for a sexing scan at 16 weeks but I don’t think we could afford to do that this time 😐

Hi all! Glad I found this thread. I'm just over 4 weeks, due around 24th Sept. Having cramping, and a bit of nausea.
I thought the tww was stressful but the anxiety continues lol! How are you all getting on?

We didn't find out gender with either of ours and won't be this time. I love the not knowing till he/she is born. Xx

@Popsicales I’ve had a few episodes of heaving. I’m 4-5 weeks.

I’m also exhausted.

baby number 3 and it’s kicking my bum!

Hi, I'm tentatively joining if that's okay think i am around 5weeks. I did a cheapie test last weekend which was positive, the day my period was due, but it did expire in 2022 so I'm not 100% although I've never really had a late period before when I haven't been pregnant. I had a MMC before my first baby and a chemical last year so I'm definitely cautious in these early days. Exciting to read everyone's stories. Absolutely zero symptoms over here though but both my previous pregnancies I wouldn't have known I was pregnant if it wasn't for the bump
