lol thankyou!!! Half those gender symptoms are just wives tales BUT in saying that i had all the girl symptoms- higher baby heartrate, extreme morning sickness, gaining weight in places other than my bump craving sweet things, aahh i swear there were more, but i can't remember now lol. Plus the big intuition that i was having a girl. Everyone i know just "knew". but i know people with the exact opposite symptoms that are having girls too. I carry her low (which is supoposed to mean boy- high meant to mean girl lol) and I have a linea nigra that goes all the way up in a straight line, which is apparently meant to mean boy too, so every one is different. You will find out the gender in no time. i still remember the 6 weeks weeks b4 my 19 week scan being so anxious because i couldn't wait and now that is looong gone and it feels like yesterday and i will be able to see her for real pretty soon! Wow, talking to you guys has helped me relive my early pregnancy days, such an exciting time!!!! Now i've gone sad i'm going to miss it lol
stupid emotions dohh:

xx

ah bless you hun. Is this your first? Im no anxious i really am but so excited at the same time. Just want to know bena is ok and ill be able to enjoy it more. Just hope this next 8 weeks fly by so i can relax a little.

I cant wait for sickness to kick in. Feeling woozzy every now and then but nothing to warrent calling it MS.

I hope the labour goes well hun. not long at all. Ill keep an eye out for your announcement.

Thankyou! yes my 1st! very excited!! Oh my goodness hun don't wish for morning sickness! seriously i did because i wanted to feel like I was pregnant. it was the most terrible time of my life. I was constantly sick, i couldnt eat anything, i lost weight, i lived in bed, it felt like i had the worst hangover but it lasted months! I had to get taken to the doctors to get pills for nausia which didnt even work half the time. I would spend the days crying because i was just so sick, it was so overwhelming. People say that sometimes the only relief was sleep but i would actually wake up in the night to be sick. I couldn't enjoy the fact that I was pregnant. Luckily I managed to keep my fluids up so didnt get dehydrated, i constantly drunk from my water bottle, even though i would just throw it back up i would just keep forcing it down, which really was the best thing i could have done. Don't mean to scare you, but you CAN have a happy and healthy pregnancy without being sick. For me it eased off about 12 weeks ish but the fun part is it's been wriggling its way back now!! I'll be keeping my eye out for you. Will be nice to still be keeping track of someones pregnancy lol!!! x

i know it's hard not to worry, but 4+4 is still really early on. It might be that you have low hcg levels, which means it's harder for the test to pick it all up. As long as your hcg levels are doubling it doesnt matter if they are low.

If you have not had any bleeding or severe pain, it's really unlikely that there is anything to worry about. Take another test on Friday and it should be darker, if it's still the same or more faint then ring your local early pregnancy unit..they might book you in for a scan.

I think you'll be fine tho xx

oh hun sounds like you had an absolute awful time. Glad your over the worst part of it now. Ok ill take that back and say i would just like to fee sick a little lol. Just honestly dont feel pregnant at all really have a few moment where i think 'oh thats a symptom' but honestly hardly nothing. i know its still very early days for me though and plenty of time for them to kick in. I had more symptoms in months where i wasnt pregnant

xx

I had to laugh out loud when u said u want to feel "a little bit sick" Is this your 1st too? If you do get sick, just think it actually is a good sign that your hormones are progressing and that it won't last forever and it will be so so worth it. Hope ya don't though, just don't think about it and you might be able to ignore it. (oh if only if things were easy huh ) I added u to my buddies by the way x

I wished that i was sick with my little girl because i always have such a sensitive tum i thought why am i not bein sick? Then at 6 weeks oh god....and it never stopped until she was out, i was even sick in the delivery suite whilst i was in labour...good times.

Most people get morning sickness, you will do and if not you'll feel it a little bit. I've been feeling it every morning and night but nothing actually comin up..yet. There is still time.

I know what you mean tho, it gives you peace of mind. Every day i was sick i knew she was ok xxx

THAT is very true- it does mean things are going ok, very good sign! i think that's what worries those who don't get any ms because they worry things arnt ok. They are the lucky ones, but they don't have that same piece of mind i guess. I was slightly put off when i started feeling better though. can't win. lol x

ha yeah if mine had stopped id have been like what?!!! the only time i had about 2 days off she was moving and kicking so i wasnt worried i thought it was finishin, then it just came back. How you feeling about giving birth?? xx

thanks girls,

Miismuffet, i have accepted you. thank you. Yeah this is my first. Was TTC for 2+ years, would have been 3 this november. Thought it would never happen and now it has i just cant seem to relax. Every cramp i worry. lol. I know its all normaly though. And deep down i know ill be fine. (i think)

i <3paul, you had it bad to. Oh im soooo looking forward to it all now. 6 weeks yours started you say. Oh i have a few more weeks to go then yet. I am feeling icky but as i say nothing to get excited about yet.

Please remind me of this conversation girls when you see me starting threads on how ill i am.
